plot twist

Remember that "They had us in the first half, not gonna lie" meme? Well, these tweets perfectly exemplify the format, albeit in the form of character-restricted twitter gems. The jokes are a perfect example of how you can pack twists and turns into short shows of absurdist comedy.

Every pet-lover dreads the day they'll have to say goodbye to their furry friend. Well imagine the emotional rollercoaster of losing a pet and then getting them back again! @TalkingSchmidt recently tweeted about the time his family's cat was found dead...or so they thought. We won't spoil the surprise for you, but we were totally flipping out about the turn of events. Some of the hilarious reactions to @TalkingSchmidt's story deserve acknowledgement, so we've included our favorite replies from the twitter thread. 

When we first saw this comic, we thought that it was completely serious. But after scrolling down a little, you'll find that this is anything but the usual clickbaity relationship drivel. Instead of telling us that we're doomed for sleeping on opposite sides of the bed, the comic (from Sad and Useless) takes a weird and dark turn. Mostly thanks to a guy named Pete.

Often times life doesn't happen exactly how you expected it would, because it's all about the art of the plot twist, baby. This meme, known as "they had us in the first half, not gonna lie," is a definite OG and we really can't get enough of it - that's why we're bringing you a roundup of our absolute favorites.

If you're lookin' for a date, a random help chat is probably NOT the place to go.
