It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that the celebs are at it again. This time, it’s a caption contest started by Chrissy Teigen, who is very active on Twitter, telling the best Jay-Z And Beyonce stories and live-tweeting events like a flight from hell and her husband John Legend‘s work in Jesus Christ Superstar Live. She’s not bad at getting around Instagram’s nudity rules, as well.
On Sunday night, Teigen revealed Twitter management had gifted her a blank sheet cake, and she needed caption suggestions:
Twitter made me a cake!! I have icing, what should I write on it? If you say edit button you *will* be blocked pic.twitter.com/Mvx7mEl9bR

Immediately someone suggested she highlight “The tweet that resulted in Trump blocking you.” Which really happened. Other suggestions were standard Twitter topics:
- “Ban Nazis” — AdrianBelmonte
- “I am Q.” — CatherineStevie
- “70% top marginal rate” —GlennF
- “Let them tweet cake.” —ThatsSoAbby
- “I’ve been the best account on twitter for 8 years so they sent me a blank cake.” — WestVirgyinzer
Another suggestion was, “Tell us who bit Beyoncé,” a reference to this viral story and John Legend’s insider knowledge.
Inevitably, someone also referenced the time Teigen trolled Legend about his resemblance to Arthur:

Someone suggested Stephen A. Smith‘s much-memed tweet in which he misunderstands how uploading a photo works:
My heart wants this, even though it should probably be "Ban the Nazis."https://t.co/3Rzie2BFzW

People also suggested other classic tweets to highlight:
It's got to be the greatest tweet of all time, right?https://t.co/ykGWFpEzwo

It isn’t officially a caption or photoshop contest on Twitter until somebody posts creepy Garfield content:

Some people went meta with their suggestions:

Teigen’s own tweets were a popular choice for caption options:

Dril was another popular Twitter user for caption choices, although no one suggested the tweet quoted in the first sentence of this post:
— jt (@JayTeeT0dd) February 11, 2019
— Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 (@Wilson__Valdez) February 11, 2019
In a surprise twist, Modern Family‘s Jesse Tyler Ferguson was there and settled the matter by picking no caption at all:
Pick a caption so we can eat the damn cake. I’m hungry.
