Sharknado 2: The Second One premiered last night on Syfy and it was exactly what you’d expect—times two. Giant sharks swirling around a giant tornado terrorized unsuspecting humans, but this time the weather phenomenon stormed the streets of the Big Apple. Needless to say, Lady Liberty was not pleased.
In addition to ludicrous plot lines and cheesy acting, the Sharknado social media shenanigans were at an all-time high last night, with many fans and celebrities tweeting their reactions enough to make star Mark McGrath proud.
If you’re unsure of whether or not a weather disaster so ridiculous could happen in a town near you, or simply wanted an early crack at Tara Reid’s shark-inspired perfume, we’re breaking down 11 noteworthy responses to Sharknado 2’s madness.
