Any movie whose cast includes David Hasselhoff, Jerry Springer and Anthony Weiner was guaranteed to be catnip for the Twitter community.

Or should we say shark-nip?

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, the latest installment in Syfy’s fintastically popular franchise, got two billion Twitter impressions last night, a new record for the franchise—it handily beat the previous film, Sharknado 2: The Second One, which only delivered one billion impressions.

The film’s cast, a mix of B-list celebrities and political has-beens, was a big topic of discussion (and derision), as was its absurdly dramatic finale, featuring sharks in space.

Below, some of Twitter’s most biting commentary on the spectacle (And if  for some reason you don’t want the movie ruined for you, warning: spoilers ahead):

"Okay, so Ian Ziering, Tara Reid and David Hasselhoff are in their astronaut suits." In 1998, this is a very drunk conversation. #Sharknado3

If you ever doubt yourself just remember a guy once held a meeting and said "Let's make a film about a tornado full of sharks" #Sharknado3

Explaining every person in #Sharknado3 to my mom. I deserve a damn Medal of Honor. #WhosThat

You watch #Sharknado3 and think it's the least realistic thing ever. Then you remember Donald Trump is an actual presidential candidate.

Best defense of the National Endowment for the Arts? #Sharknado3 is what we get when market forces rule entertainment.

— Howard Sherman (@HESherman) July 23, 2015

Considering the response Sharknado 3 got, it’s quite possible that Sharknado 4 would actually break the Internet.
