Eurovision fans praise hilarious skit recreating the viral Miss Universe ... trends now
Eurovision fans were left in stitches on Thursday night, after a hilarious skit recreating the viral shouting meme from Miss Universe.
The second semi-final was hosted by Hollywood actress Malin Akerman and fan favourite Petra Mede in Malmo, Sweden.
As the two women began the show, they explained that three of the 'Big Five' acts would be performing, despite already having spots in the grand final.
The group - made up of the UK, France, Spain, Germany and Italy - gets direct entry into the final, as they make the biggest financial contributions to the European Broadcasting Union.
Malin said: 'Tonight new memories will created for people watching us all over the world, as 16 competitors take the stage. But you'll also get the opportunity to hear three of the countries that are already qualified for the final. That is...'

They then cut to a clip of three pageant stars introducing their countries, Italy, Spain and France.
However, when it came to France's turned the beauty queen screamed the country loudly, to laughter from the audience.
The skit was parodying the viral clip from the 2018 Miss Universe pageant, which became a popular meme last year.
The funny moment saw the French contestant, Eva Colas, join the other beauty queens in announcing her country's name, when her voice cracked, causing her to shriek: 'France!'
Viewers watching at home were also in hysterics at the parody and took to social media to declare that France should be introduced in the same way every year.
They wrote: 'Not them recreating miss Universe France meme; I know the France joke is coming, and I have laughed at it EVERY SINGLE TIME'.
'This is gold and should be used every time France is introduced; I love how they did the FRANCE meme!'
'petition for france to be announced in #Eurovision via this form forevermore; The FRANCE meme lmaooo'.

Elsewhere, the semi-final caused shockwaves after fan favourites Malta and Belgium failed to make it through.
While Israel's Eden Golan defied thousands of protestors, including those demonstrating in Malmo, calling for her to be excluded from the competition as she made it through to the final.
Latvia, Austria, Netherlands, Norway, Greece, Estonia, Switzerland, Georgia and Armenia were the other countries who made it through to Saturday's final.
Malta was represented by Sarah Bonnici with the song Loop while Belgium was reprsented by Mustii with the track Before The Party's Over.
Although both songs were well received by the crowd and had been viewed as early favourite, they failed to get enough votes to qualify for the final, causing sadness from fans.
The EBU, whose members approved Israeli broadcaster Kan, has taken a strong stance, as in previous years, against political messages at Eurovision and flags and symbols from non-competing countries.
Despite the position, Tuesday's first
