There's nothing the internet loves more on a dreary, uneventful Monday than a delicious helping of schadenfreude to get the cogs of imagination whirring.
So when the veil of perfection surrounding Jay Z and Beyonce's A List existence was ripped down by her raging, kicking and screaming sister Solange's attack upon everyone's favourite rapper... the meme makers went into overdrive.
Plenty of fun was had at the expense of the duo's hitherto unblemished starry existence, as well as the sheer ferocity of Solange's astonishing attack.
Scroll down for video...
Too easy: Jay Z and Beyonce's poster for forthcoming joint tour was an easy spoof to make by just adding 'from Solange' to the black and white flyer
Others found mirth in the curiously impassive stance taken by Beyonce as her younger sister tried to beat seven shades of excrement out of her husband of five years.
One in particular equated Beyonce's wide-eyed disconnected stare to that paean of familial awkwardness, Homer Simpson, to hilarious effect.
The poster for Bey and Jay Z's forthcoming tour was too easy a mark with internet japesters able to just add 'from Solange' to the 'On the Run' flyer.
Don't know where to look: Many mocked Beyonce's oddly disconnected response to the bust up between her sister and husband
Some like it yacht: There was copious amount of fun had at the expense of the couple's hitherto perfect image
Roundhouse kick: The internet was impressed with Solange's skills if nothing else
Another funny saw Beyonce and Jay Z jumping from their yacht with the slogan, 'Bae, we gotta get the f***, Solange coming.'
It's quite the metaphor for how the pair's gilded existence - told via endlessly aspirational Instagrams - has now forever been tarnished by the tacky spectacle in the hotel elevator.
Of course, an imagined rivalry between jobbing singer Solange, 27, and her 32-year-old megastar sister was bound to be mined for inspiration.

Somebody had to say it: Meme makers had fun at Solange's relatively low career in this pastiche
Craze: WhatJayZSaidToSolange soon started trending on Twitter
Shocked: It wasn't just Beyonce's response that got the meme treatment, Jay Z's astonished face was parodied
Icon-ic: This old shot of Jay Z with his sister-in-law was photoshopped for effect
Witty commentators noted that the slaps rained onto the hip hop mogul constituted the only hits Solange has had in years.
Others speculated about the exchange that preceded the fight, with one scriptwriter hopeful having Solange say: 'This elevator's isn't going anywhere,' to which Jay Z fictitiously replied: 'Like your career.'
Other wannabe Miss Marples noted that Solange runs her own label, rather than working with her 44-year-old brother-in-law and wondered if this could be a cause for bad blood.
Straight gag: Some just went for the easy joke and gave Jay Z a bruised eye
Stunned: This puppy's look is a fair approximation of Beyonce's reaction to the altercation
'I demand a trial by combat': One Twitter user created a Game Of Thrones inspired meme
Jay Z's ridiculously famous 2004 hit , 99 Problems (but a b**** ain't one) also served itself up for parody now the rapper has demonstrably found his 100th issue in the guise of an angry lady.
Some went for the straight gag and photoshopped a bruised eye on the father-of-one.
WhatJayZSaidToSolange soon started trending on Twitter as users tried to outwit each other with hilarious suggestions for what sparked the mysterious row.
Nature abhors a vacuum: In the absence of an actual reason for the fight, Twitter had some fun
Caption this: One cunning wheeze was to imagine Bey discussing the family row with Jake Gyllenhaal at Saturday's Brooklyn Nets game
Getting creative: A new imagined Wikipedia page for Solange added 'kicker, streetfighter' and 'Jay Z's 100th Problem' to the star's list of occupations
