Sharknado 2: The Best Tweets

Last night, Sharknado 2: The Second One took New York by storm. More accurately, two sharknadoes combined with a third sharknado to form an EF5. The result was at first catastrophic, seeing the beheading of many a cameo actor. Thunder Levin wasted no time getting to the action. By the end, New Yorkers emerged triumphant, thanks to Fin's quick thinking. We saw daytime TV hosts kill sharks. We saw Tara Reid kill sharks. And, we saw a number of people killin' it on Twitter with their live-tweet action. Refreshing our 140-character feeds became almost as entertaining as watching the movie — almost. Ahead, tweets that had us slow clapping long after the credits rolled.

SHREKNADO! STARKNADO! VLASSIC PICKLES PRESENTS STORKNADO

Not doing #Sharknado2. I simply won't contribute to marring the artistic vision of the original. (Also in a car.)

Clearly, we are hitting a cultural touchstone, here.

Not watching another Sharknado until they cast Allison Williams.

Hey, same with us.

The post-WWIII historian tasked with researching the Twitter archive will be very confused by this night #Sharknado2TheSecondOne

Mark McGrath has the smoothest face in America. That is like a polished diamond

Mark McGrath lives, y'all.

When I don't wear a trucker cap with a slogan on it, I get a Tony Nomination for a TV movie. Thank you Broadway. #Sharknado2TheSecondOne

Best. Cameo. Ever.

Not exactly sure how science works, but that looked pretty legit. #Sharknado2TheSecondOne

We said this, like, 17 times last night.

Sharknado 2 is the greatest love story ever told

— Joseph E Cassin (@joe_cassin) July 31, 2014

Hopefully, he is referring to the intense emotions between the sharks and New York City.

Nothing seems to have brought the internets together like #Sharknado2TheSecondOne did last night. Maybe send Ian Ziering to broker peace?

Someone call the State Department.

Still better than Lucy.

Sick burn.

#Sharknado2TheSecondOne - Is it wrong that I'm rooting for the sharks?

The great Finke weighs in.

"Why are you heading down when the building's flooding?" "Flaming sharks". Best.Movie.Line.Ever. #Sharknado2TheSecondOne

They...should have...sent a...poet...

The other way to get rid of a sharknado is to make it say its name backwards. #Sharknado2

— Wil Wheaton (@wilw) July 31, 2014

Do I sate myself? Do I soar? These are the existential questions that a shark in a #Sharknado2TheSecondOne must ask himself. So must we all.

— Roger Corman (@RogerCorman) July 31, 2014

Well, this may be the best tweet on Twitter, ever.

...what can we say. We had the photo. #Sharknado2TheSecondOne ? pic.twitter.com/zPXL5u4ntB

The just "had" this, "laying around?"

The @nytimes headline would be: "Inside a tornado, sharks." @NYDailyNews would be "SHARKS TO CITY: DROP DEAD." #Sharknado2TheSecondOne

Real talk: The Today Show was killing it.
