Perhaps you've seen the 'and it shows..." meme going around for the past few days. Well, in true internet fashion, they've reached their weirdness fever pitch.

But as the meme caught on, the internet did what it does best: made it weird. People started referencing everything from getting banned from Club Penguin to opening up other dimensions in Denny's parking lots. Leave it to Twitter to take a simple concept designed to hit us right in the nostalgia and take it to the tenth power.
