The Baby Yoda phenomenon keeps getting bigger and bigger, with celebrities now creating their own memes of the adorable character from “The Mandalorian.”
Friday’s episode gave viewers the most Baby Yoda screentime to date, and of course, plenty of meme fodder.
The scene were Baby Yoda sips broth while former Rebel shock trooper Cara Dune (Gina Carano) and the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) brawl spawned countless memes.

Gillian Anderson retweeted a side-by-side photo of herself and the character, cups in hand, captioning “If I had one word of advice baby yoda it would be to watch out for those seagulls!
Even presidential candidate Julian Castro got in on the action, retweeting a meme from 538 editor in chief Nate Silver.

“If the Democratic Party wants a field that’s representative of its members and its voters, it probably shouldn’t have two states as white as Iowa and New Hampshire vote first every year,” Silver’s post read. The broth is replaced with Lipton ice tea; “sipping the tea” being slang for throwing shade or adding snarky commentary.
Later in the episode, Baby Yoda fiddles with the controls on the Mandalorian’s ship, a scene that also became a meme.
Nick Carter joked they were listening to the Backstreet Boys hit “I Want It That Way.”
