There are times when the internet really surprises you with its out-of-the-blue creative genius. However, this is not one of those times. These poems are terrible, but who cares because this isn't your f*cking AP high school English class and no one needs to be analyzing the symbolism behind the blue curtains.

We all had a reasonable amount of fun with the "bone apple tea" meme that started popping up back in 2016, but these fails are truly next level. We're seriously praying that these poor souls are feigning ignorance!
Hey nerds! Have you been sleeping on the incredible Twitter account @AwfulFantasy? It's as if The Onion started writing 280 character articles about science fiction and fantasy. As one can imagine, the passages range from devilishly clever to laugh-out-loud hilarious. We've put some of our favorites together here, but for more of their five years of content, go ahead and peruse their Twitter.
If you ever use Facebook and Twitter, we're willing to bet that you have been privy to this very popular Twitter meme. The subtly sassy snow clone lists a variety of comically specific traits before revealing that the subject is not, in fact, your man. It's generally someone as nerdy as James Joyce or as much of a manic orange abomination as Gritty. We're into it, and hope to see more weird and clever renditions.
As you may have guessed, these Amazon product reviews aren't about the products themselves, but rather the ridiculous amount of effort that these customers put into writing these brilliant masterpieces.
50 Nerds of Grey has been one of our favorite parody accounts for years. The clever, tongue-in-cheek mockery of 50 Shades of Grey will appeal to nearly everyone - geek tendencies or not.
Thank you, Literary Twitter for starting our new favorite hashtag challenge. The fun stems from the #OwnVoices hashtag, which addresses the voices of marginalized communities. The hashtag naturally had its critcs; among them was a male author that insisted he was living proof that men are capable of penning realistic female characters. After Gwen C. Katz shared some super-cringey passages of his proof, the challenge was born.
Women on Twitter quickly began parodying the passages, describing their most coveted features in hilarious and painfully flowery fashion. Many of these tweets show greater writing chops than we've seen in some books. While the fetishization of female characters is certainly getting old, we could read these farcical tweets all day.
