    It was only a matter of time before a comedian spoofed Australian breakdancer Raygun , whose performance at the Paris Olympics over the weekend earned her zero points and inspired countless memes. “Saturday Night Live” alum Rachel Dratch did so during “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Monday night, interrupting the late-night host’s monologue with some kooky dance moves.

    “Breakdancing made its Olympic debut, and everyone’s still talking about the competitor from Australia named Raygun,” Fallon said as he proceeded to show a clip from Raygun’s performance, which included a lot of floorwork and jumping reminiscent of a rabbit.

    “You have to wonder where Raygun is right now,” Fallon continued, before being interrupted by the music the breakdancer used in her performance. Dratch then emerged from behind the curtain, dressed in an identical outfit to Raygun and doing a rendition of the Australian’s now infamous dancing.

    “Wow, Raygun! It’s Raygun, everybody!” Fallon said in between chuckles. “I have to ask you this, how are you feeling since your performance?”

    Dratch as Raygun responded by dancing, dropping down to the floor and ridiculously replicating some twists and turns. “Raygun, I see, you speak through your dance moves,” Fallon said. “I understand.”

    Fallon then joined Dratch in dance, with the host also squirming on the floor and bunny-hopping as the Roots played.

    Following her Olympics debut, Raygun told reporters ( via ESPN ) that “all of my moves are original.”

    She continued, “Creativity is really important to me. I go out there, and I show my artistry. Sometimes it speaks to the judges, and sometimes it doesn’t. I do my thing, and it represents art. That is what it is about.”
