The #StraightOutta meme (and its handy generator) has taken the internet by storm for days ahead of the Straight Outta Compton movie’s August 14 release. The recent NBA memes were off the hook, and now other famous people generated images in an unofficial contest. In what looked like a clear win, Deadpool went for the “chimichangas” joke without too much effort. The Merc with a Mouth could easily win the comic book audience. But wait!
Several other well-known names have taken the generator into their own hands. These are their stories. For starters, Mia Khalifa represents from Maryland.

Sadly, it was Jason Biggs of American Pie and OITNB fame who smashed the entire contest. This is much more cleverness than one would expect from a pie lover.
