Weightlifting is far more entertaining if you replace the weights with various items

The Olympics are quality. I'm having an absolute whale of a time between making memes and creating chat up lines for the benefit of our glorious nation at this very exciting time. My latest venture into the world of mocking these incredible athletes' achievements is to replace weightlifters' weights with random objects. It's not to detract from their frankly inspirational accomplishments, it is simply something I need to get out of my system.
