It turns out viewers weren’t so intrigued by the idea of a Los Angeles shark sweeping tornado, better known as Sharknado. The SyFy B-movie may not have drawn in viewers, it did however, score 387,000 mentions on Twitter.
According to USA Today, 1.4 million viewers tuned in to watch the Tara Reid-Ian Ziering thriller, but despite the failed ratings, Sharknado was dubbed the channel’s “most social” program to date.
Mia Farrow, Andy Cohen, Will Wheton, Michael Chiklis, Elizabeth Banks and B.J. Novak reportedly were among the few who tuned in, even if for a moment, to tweet about the cheesy-hilarious yet scary TV movie.
“I am still not over #SharkNado,” tweeted Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen. “I cant wrap my brain around why the sharks roared like lions...and didnt die without any water #sharknado ? Mind BLOWN,” wrote Adrianne Curry.
Sharknado even has its own Twitter account with 653 followers.
Other hilarious tweets include : “For all of those who had your fun - You were there for Sharknado, but will you be there for the clean up? #HardQuestions,” wrote Seth Meyers according to Celebuzz. “Holy shit. Steve from 90210 just said, "If there's one thing I hate more than chlamydia, it's god dammed sharks." #LiveTweetingSharknado.”
And let us not forget God’s suggestions for a potential sequel:
