It's nearly been a week since Amazon released their final episode of The Boys' second season and we are still definitely not okay. The finale lived up to the show's hype: it was an action-packed hour of violence, intrigue, and very dark humor.  Some of the violence was good - the evil Nazi "supe" Stormfront was reduced to a very crispy German-spouting stump. Unfortunately, the white supremacist's demise came at the expense of Becca, the beloved wife of Karl Urban's gruff and foul-mouthed Billy Butcher. 

Becca's untimely death brought out a sentimentality in Butcher that we hadn't seen before, leaving the vigilante to take care of her laser-eyed, Ryan. Between that tear-inducing segment, Victoria Neuman's supe reveal, and Homelander's bizarre (and epic) self-pleasure scene, the hour was chock full of insanity. It's a shame we have to wait until 2021 for new episodes, but we take comfort knowing that the showrunners have plans to keep the action going for at least 5 seasons. While we anxiously wait for more Fresca references and c-word abuse, we'll have to settle for these memes. 

Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, and now Disney+? Sometimes more choices are not necessarily a good thing. Disney just ditched Netflix and came out with its own streaming service this week and the internet is pretty divided on where they stand with it. 

Now instead of paying one flat fee for a multitude of TV shows and movies on one streaming service, you can pay a bunch of little fees for a million different companies who don't give a sh*t about you! And predictably, those costs add up.

Our solution to all of this? Don't pay for any of them! For legal reasons we can't tell you to pirate anything, so we won't. 

Anyway, take a little stroll through the following memes and tweets that roast the stupid number of streaming services available to us now.

We love a good double entendre as much as the next person, and this tweet from the Wareable Twitter account is the most satisfying bit of sauciness we've seen in a while. The site, which focuses on wearable technology, tweeted "Amazon Echo Frames are smartglasses that bring Alexa to your face" regarding the new Google Glass-esque product. We're willing to bet that they knew exactly what they were doing - and Twitter's been, ahem, eating this brilliant copy-editing up. 

In case you haven't heard about the Great Sandwich War of 2019...well, it's a thing. Because apparently that's what's important in people's lives right now. Not, you know, the fact that the Amazon Rain Forest is burning down, or the political turmoil happening throughout the world. Nope, it's the chicken sandwiches that matter.

Anyway, have a lovely day and enjoy these memes about fried chicken sandwiches! Or whatever! Who cares!

If you're at all sensitive about cuss words, this ain't the meme for you. Amazon's new hit show 'The Boys' is a story about vigilantes with super powers who try to keep pompous and dangerous superheroes accountable. To say they're a bit rough around the edges would be an understatement, and that's pretty damn evident from this meme. The format is ripped from the series' first episode, in which Billy (played by Australian actor Karl Urban) initiates a fight with a superhero aptly named Translucent. His colorful utterance has been embraced by dank meme making communities on Facebook and Reddit, and shows no signs of slowing down. Here are some of our favorite examples so far.

The Amazon Rain Forest, one of Earth's most important filters, is currently burning down at an alarming rate and hardly any news outlets are reporting on it. Many Brazilians are blaming President Jair Bolsinaro for "encouraging loggers and farmers to clear the land" since taking office in January, according to the BBC.

People on Twitter have been bringing light to the devastating situation under the hashtags 'Amazon Rain Forest' and 'Pray for Amazonia.' 

So what can we do about all of this? Other than spreading awareness, we're honestly not sure. Here are some of the depressing reactions people have had to the situation.

Apparently we're actually living in George Orwell's 1984. 

Amazon has come under fire for allegedly creating fake Twitter accounts (under the name "Amazon FC Ambassador") to silence any criticism of the working conditions of its fulfillment centers which, if you're unaware, are known for being particularly sweatshop-like. 

Recently various Twitter users have called out Amazon for this...bizarre (to say the least) behavior. 

So without further ado, here are some of the best parodies and examples of the creepy Orwellian tweets!

As Americans, we're all probably pretty familiar with the "garage" success story in which successful billionaires started out working in humble conditions, such as in a basement or garage until they made it big. This Twitteruser brought up an interesting different viewpoint!

This thread is pretty eye-opening, but we certainly don't want to dominate the discussion here - what do you all think? Are billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs self-made? Or did they receive a little more help than the rest of us along the way?

Sometimes the Amazon delivery people screw up, and that's okay - they're human after all and life goes on. Unfortunately, however, sometimes these screw-ups lend themselves to, shall we say, less-savory happenstances? In this particular case, we're not really sure that these people will live to see the other side of this because it's just so humiliating!
