In a universe parallel to our own, on the cusp of an apocalyptic evening, The Walking Dead unveils a scene that cascades through the Twittersphere like a fart in a still pond. The scene opens with a battle-weary Carl Grimes sauntering up to a serene pond. With a glance as empty as the world he's living in, he discards his tattered clothes, revealing his pale end-of-the-world butt cheeks to the unsuspecting viewers. He slips into the water, tension dissolving from his shoulders as he exhales a long, thunderous fart that stirs the pond's surface and echoes through the desolate landscape. Seconds later, several unfortunate fish fall victim, floating to the surface, belly-up, while Carl's face transforms from relief to mock chagrin. With a survivor's resourcefulness, he plucks one of the doomed fish from the pond, a dark smile on his lips, and clambers out, water cascading down his back, leaving Twitter to explode in a comedic frenzy. @ZombieFartsAreLethal tweets: "BREAKING: Carl's butt just weaponized farts. RIP pond fish #DeadlyGas #TWD #RIPFishes " In response, @ApocaLipsAndLaughs posts a gif of a man falling over in a dead faint, captioned: "Me after watching Carl do his one-cheek sneak. The real victim of #TWD tonight - my sides! " The parody account @CarlFartsEndingHours muses: "Carl's rear just did more damage than Negan ever could. #ToxicAssets #FishGrimes" Within minutes, a photoshop battle ensues, as @MemeKingOfHill posts an image of a gas mask-wearing fish with the caption: "Be prepared. Carl is in the water. #HazmatScales." The environmentalists on Twitter, @GreenZoneGuardians, chime in with concern: "Let's have a moment of silence for our pond's ecosystem #EcoWarrior #ZombieFartsMatter." @VegetarianWalkers tweets: "Today's TWD episode was a pescetarian nightmare . But I admit, I laughed so hard I could barely kelp it together. #SeaWhatIDidThere" Straight from the depths of meme-land, @RickGrimesTheDad jokes with a picture of Rick Grimes facepalming: "Carl, that kills people... err, or fish in this case. #CarlPlease #TWD #FlyFishingWithFarts" @FireFighterOfFiction, an account famed for funny spoilers, announces: "Next on TWD: Carl develops a new walker repellent. Ingredients? One-part pond water, two parts atomic butt blasts. #ThisShowStinksSoGood" @FishingForLaughs sums it up with: "Who needs fishing poles when you've got Carl's colon? #BassGas #TheWalkingDead #Fartocalypse" The next day's newspapers would run headlines about 'The Night Twitter Was Slain by a Butt Blast.' And so, Carl Grimes' unexpected pond performance would float through the annals of social media history as the tweet storm that followed was a gas of truly epic proportions.
