Between the fancy Cirque Du Soleil performance and pushing the Bridesmaids cast on stage as much as possible, Sunday night’s Academy Awards tried so hard to make us like them. But we didn’t!

It was the unplanned theatrics that caught our—and Twitter’s—attention. Did Jennifer Lopez’s boob pop out? Was Angelina Jolie’s right leg up for a nomination that no one knew about? And what the hell was up with those annoying beeps in the microphones?

Without any answers, three parody Twitter accounts popped up last to entertain the puzzled masses.

Angelina Jolie’s right leg | @AngiesRightLeg

Jolie’s right leg garnered almost as much attention on the red carpet as Sacha Baron Cohen and already has its own Twitter account. It quickly amassed 11,000 followers with tweets reminding people that it’s still there and to pay attention to it. It appears to have an ego rivaling Jolie.

Jennifer Lopez’s nipple | @JLosNipple

You’re about to hear the worst phrase ever created again: “wardrobe malfunction.” And you can blame J. Lo. We don’t know if her breast slipped out of her dress or if it was just a merely shadow. There is an obnoxiously unfunny Twitter account, though! The erratic stream of tweets impersonates her nipple. The breast claims it just needed a breather and inserts the word “tit” into Lopez’s lyrics. If the word “malfunction” was going to be applied to any part of this situation, it should be the Twitter creator’s thought process.

Oscars’ audio guys | @OscarAudioGuys

You weren’t alone in hearing odd, beep-like noises during the award show. The mysterious sound malfunction persisted the whole night, leaving many on Twitter to ask why it wasn’t getting fixed. Enter @OscarAudioGuys to field the complaints. The wonderfully snarky account lashed back at complaints and gleefully ignored that there was a problem.
