twitter reactions

KFC announced yesterday that they are releasing a dating sim game on Steam and people on Twitter are responding both incredulously and lustfully at the news. The game, called I Love You Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin' Good Dating Simulator, is set for a September 24th release, and features Japanese-style animation, as well as an unsettlingly hot depiction of a young Colonel Sanders. 

According to KFC, the game features multiple hours of gameplay, recipes, and a secret ending. Players will be able to choose one of nine characters to attend culinary school with the fried chicken zaddy, in the hopes of becoming his business partner or, uh, lover. We'll admit that the premise of this game is somewhat disturbing, but we're both intrigued and weirdly into the animated Sanders. According to these Twitter reactions, we're definitely not alone. 

Once we accepted that we'll never have the newest iPhone, Apple's release events became a hell of a lot more enjoyable. According to Twitter, we're not the only ones who feel that way. While the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro have a whole lot of interesting features, Twitter's having their wildest field day with the look of the multi-lens cameras. The comparisons range from stove tops to Surprised Pikachu memes, and they've shown no signs of stopping. Here are our favorites so far. 

The official Star Wars YouTube channel just published a short sneak peak video for the upcoming new film, The Rise of Skywalker and all anyone can talk about is "Dark Rey" and "Red-Eyed C-3PO," who looks like he just smoked a sh*tload of weed. 

As a result, the Twitter reactions have exceeded our expectations - you definitely won't be disappointed with what we found below!

Fancy things require over-the-top, bougie care instructions, apparently. At least for the Apple Card anyway. 

Apple published instructions for keeping your Apple credit card lookin' shiny the other day and people couldn't help but notice how ridiculous some of the steps are. No leather, denim, or loose change can come in contact with your card if you want to keep it from getting discolored. 

Got it, soooo just never have it touch anything then...?

Keanu fans can rejoice! Now in addition to Bill and Ted 3, we also get a fourth Matrix installment with Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss and Lana Wachowski all set to return.

While tons of people on Twitter are clearly stoked about the announcement, others are skeptical that another installment will be any good, which makes sense given how The Matrix 2 and 3 turned out... 

Anyway, you can make your own call on that when the movie is released in coming years, but in the mean time please enjoy some of the following Twitter reactions and memes!

We may not be medical professionals but we definitely know when someone has gotten work. It's baffling that someone in the spotlight would undergo serious cosmetic procedures and think their fans wouldn't notice, but it keeps happening. Yesterday, after photos from the red carpet were released, Simon Cowell went from being a judge to being judged - and harshly. The notoriously cranky English judge of America's Got Talent has been on our television screens since 2001, and many fans were shocked at his transformation. 

It's pretty obvious to most people that Cowell has gotten work done, though he's attributing his new look to his vegan diet and weight loss. Perez Hilton seems to think otherise: "I'm going with: new veneers, fillers in the cheek, Botox in the forehead and a possible eye job too! What do U think of the new Simon Cowell???" We're inclined to agree. And judging by these hilarious reactions to the dude's face, so is Twitter.

CNN news anchor Chris Cuomo is being criticized after a video surfaced of him threatening someone with violence for calling him "Fredo." 

"Fredo" is an insult for an Italian person meaning "weak brother," and refers to the character Fredo Corleone from The Godfather.

The criticism came after the video was published, when Cuomo asserted that the word "Fredo" is comparable to the N-word for Italian-Americans. Many Italian-Americans themselves were left highly confused by the assertion, and people on both sides of the political spectrum, including Donald Trump, had no shortage of criticism for him.

As we're all aware, using an insult based on one's ethnicity is never okay, but we think Cuomo may have gone a little too far in comparing the word "Fredo" to the N-word. 

Scroll down to see some of the internet's various spicy memes and reactions to the incident!

Okay, Disney. We have one question for you. Is nothing SACRED?! The entertainment overlords announced yesterday that they're planning to remake the Home Alone films, and people have had a lot of feelings on what we believe to be a disastrous and downright disrespectful idea. Even Macaulay Culkin decided to weigh in on the announcement, with a photo of what Home Alone would look like today. His self-deprecating and relatable post made a huge impression on Twitter, prompting fans to demand a reboot featuring the real Kevin McCallister. Other fans condemned any remake at all. We're honestly in that boat.

The official Pokemon YouTube channel just released a new trailer for Pokemon Sword and Shield, and with it some new rival Pokemon characters. One of them, known as "Galarian Weezing," is a redesign of the classic Weezing. The new character wears two giant top hats and sports poison green "mustaches." 

People on Twitter have been poking fun at the new character, comparing it to some sort of 20th century fat cat, a bong, and Doug Dimmadome - an antagonist in Nickelodeon TV show The Fairly OddParents. Clearly there's a lot to make fun of here.  

When Twitter user Matthew Harris tweeted a sketchy photo of a woman sitting in a backless seat on an airplane, it sparked a barrage of parodies and roasts.

The airline, EasyJet, was quick to reply on Twitter, asking Harris to take down the photo so that they could "best assist" his complaints.  People on Twitter, however, weren't falling for the budget British airline's BS, and began creating parodies of the tweet.

Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately, depending on your own personal opinion), it's been reported that these backless seats were actually inoperable on the flight and passengers were not permitted to use them. 

However, we've gotta wonder why EasyJet was so quick to get defensive in the Twitter thread. Very suspicious indeed...

Lena Dunham had a lot of nerve when she attempted to kiss Brad Pitt on the lips without his consent at the premier of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which they both star in. 

Beside the fact that the move was just straight up awkward and cringey AF, people on the internet have been accusing Dunham of sexual assault, claiming that if the roles were reversed, she and her fans would be up in arms over it, labeling it a "Me Too" situation.

Dunham already didn't have the best reputation with the internet as is, but this little stunt she pulled has really been the icing on the cake!

At this point we're so deep into this "storm Area 51" sh*t that we're starting to think that it's actually going to happen. And honestly, we're not going to fight it because the resulting memes have been straight fire. 

This time people are meme-ing all of the things they think they might find at Area 51, which includes missing socks and Tom from Myspace.

Netflix tweeted yesterday that The Office, America's most beloved TV show, is leaving to be a part of NBC's own streaming service and people are not happy about it in the slightest. We can't really blame them, given the volume of new streaming services that the average person is now required to purchase in order to watch their favorite shows. Fortunately though, Netflix will keep the show until January 2021 so fans have ample time to watch (and re-watch) it to their heart's content!

Here are some of Twitter's reactions to the sad news.

Oh look, Millennials are back at it ruining everything! A new survey conducted by Porch and tweeted out by Now This News claims that Millennials might be the worst generation at cooking ever, and that nearly 40% don't even know what a butter knife is. Additionally, only about 40% know how to carve a turkey. The horror.

Porch surveyed 750 people of all ages, asking them if they considered themselves to be "good cooks" - just over 60% of Millennials answered yes, while well over 70% of Baby Boomers said the same.   

Many on Twitter have pointed out that the reasoning and methods used by the surveyors is heavily flawed - it's almost like hating on Millennials is all just a big marketing ploy to distract us from real problems! Lol nah, that can't be it...

Robert Pattinson, star of the heavily mocked Twilight franchise, may very well be cast as the next Batman according to news sources. A lot of people are real mad about the pending decision, while others assert that people being are way too quick to judge. Petitions to have Pattinson removed from the role (before even being officially cast) have already started making the rounds on the internet.

Regardless of how you feel about the former Edward Cullen/Cedric Diggory actor playing Batman, the resulting memes and reaction tweets have been pretty priceless.

In a move that's clearly a jab at the McDonald's Happy Meal, Burger King has recently launched "Real Meals" as a part of its #FeelYourWay campaign that aims to raise awareness for mental health issues for Mental Health Awareness Month.

Is this a smart move on their part? When it comes to marketing the brand, we thinks that's a definite yes. Will it actually lead to helping people who deal with mental illnesses? Who knows! We'd love to know what you think on that matter.

And seriously, we have to ask WHAT is going on with brands on social media these days? It seems like after the Wendy's Twitter account made its sassy mark on the world, every single brand wants to get in on that saucy social media action.
