twitter reactions

Remember last year's cringey YouTube Rewind? It's hard not to. The video was the most disliked video in the history of the website. This year, YouTube has decided to repent for their sins and play it safe - with a whole lot of numbers. Instead of getting creative, the new video is more of a montage of the most statistically "liked" videos, creators, and channels. It even features controversial creator PewDiePie. 

Though the new YouTube video is decidedly less controversial than 2018's, the viewer response has done nothing but prove that people will never be happy. Commenters are already decrying the site's move to stick to numbers, as well as its absence of memes and deceased YouTuber Etika. The general consensus is that it's a cop-out video reminiscent of the "Top Ten" videos that are so popular on YouTube. The videos dislikes already dwarf its likes. With responses like this, we have to wonder what they'll come up with next year.

Why do politics always make for the best meme material? We'll just let the politicians speak for themselves. 

In case you missed last night's democratic presidential debate, then we'll give you a little run down: Cory Booker accused Joe Biden of being high, Amy Klobuchar claimed she raised a crap-load of money from her ex-boyfriends, and Biden made an, uh, brain-dead comment about domestic violence.

Harriet, a biopic about Harriet Tubman, was just released earlier this month to favorable reviews, but apparently not everyone had the same ideas about exactly who should portray the American hero.

Screenwriter Gregory Allen Howard stated in an interview with Focus Features that one studio executive suggested that Julia Roberts, a white actress, should play Harriet Tubman. When someone else chimed in about what an absurd idea that would be, the same exec replied, "It was so long ago, no one is going to know the difference." We wish we were joking about this but alas.

Additionally, we would say that this news is positively absurd, but then again, nothing in the news is really surprising anymore, is it?

Remember Sonic's cursed appearance from earlier this year? We wish we were able to banish its memory from our pristine minds, but alas. The only thing that's come close is the new trailer for the movie, featuring a Sonic the Hedgehog with far less teeth and bigger, more beautiful eyes. The speedy guy looks way more like the Sonic of our childhood - and Twitter seems to be incredibly relieved and impressed, for the most part. 

While some fans are commending Paramount Pictures for their efforts in "fixing" the blue dude, others are convinced that the first and cursed Sonic trailer was merely a publicity stunt. They believe that this Sonic was the "true Sonic" all along. Whatever the truth, this movie seems like something we might be able to get through. And that's good enough for us. 

Get ready for probably the grossest news we've heard all year: rapper TI recently stated that he takes his daughter Deyjah to the gynecologist every year to make sure that her hymen is intact, ie that she hasn't lost her virginity. And get this: she's 18 years old and a freshman in college. Aside from the fact that she's legally an adult, that's a pretty huge breach of privacy.

Everyone on Twitter has been outraged over this news as they should be. 

C'mon TI, that's f*cking gross, man.

Our boy Keanu Reeves has finally found love it seems, and the internet can't contain its excitement. He recently went public with girlfriend Alexandra Grant, an artist. The two have reportedly been friends for years, and even co-wrote a book together.

While people are stoked for the beloved Mr. Reeves, the announcement has also brought on some criticism of the way we treat women in Hollywood - many have been referring to the relationship as "age appropriate," given many male actors' tendencies to date models and actresses in their twenties. Grant is 46 years old.

Here are some of the internet's reactions to the news!

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.

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...
