It's every actor's dream to play a universal role, and the legendary Patrick Stewart may have won on that front once and for all. Stewart will voice Poop in this year's animated The Emoji Movie, Sony announced on Thursday.

The announcement came via tweet from the Sony Pictures Twitter account, which used the words "distinguished" and Poop as a proper noun in the same sentence.

In honor of Sir Patrick's prestigious role, here are all the poop jokes we came up with within a 90-second span, courtesy of the Mashable Entertainment team:

Pooptrick Stewart Captain Poopard Poopfessor Xavier Pooping For Godot Anthony & Cleopooptra Royal Shakespeare Compoony X-Men: Apoocalypse "To boldy poo where no man has pooed before" (There's a William Shatner joke in here somewhere, and we trust you to create it).

To quote Mashable Entertainment Editor Josh Dickey, "Jonathan Frakes was 'No. 1,' but it turns out that Patrick Stewart was No. 2."

The Emoji Movie hits theaters August 4th.
