If you love Girls’ Shoshanna Shapiro, the kooky but sweet Jewish American princess played by Zosia Mamet, daughter of playwright David Mamet, you’re likely gonna laugh at what she’s been posting on Tumblr.

In honor of the current Olympic Games in Sochi, someone created Shoshi Games 2014, a series of memes that place her face in photos of various winter sports, complete with appropriate Shosh-like captions beneath.

It isn’t the first time that Mamet has been out there on the Internet. In May 2013, she and her sister Clara requested $32,000 on crowd-funding site Kickstarter, to produce a video for their song “Bleak Love.” They were criticized for the move, and only reached 6 percent of their total. This Tumblr is likely to be better received.

A look at some of Mamet’s “Shoshi Games 2014” collection:

There’s “This doesn’t look like Jamaica”:

And, a reference to her “Girls” cousin, Jessa: “Oh that’s amazing. It’s really hard for a jew to gain respect in sports. – Jessa”
