These hilarious reactions to the New York earthquake are too gay to function

Last night, something truly unprecedented happened. An earthquake hit New York—and not just any earthquake: mama was a 4.8 on the c*nter scale. She came, she shook, she left. She shat in the mother toilet and she did not flush. She came, she served c*nt, and she left, as natural disasters tend to do.

Needless to say, New Yorkers are gagged, and none more than the gays. Everyone was shook, and not in the good way. The good news is that even in the midst of a truly end-times level natural disaster scenario, the gays are still finding ways to crack wise. You can’t keep us down, what can I tell ya!

Of course there were the expected Sex and the City memes, thanks to Netflix ushering in a brand new viewership who’s just learning about the sexual hijinx of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda. Oh, and Mr. Big, of course.

Screw a writer’s room—the Gay Internet should be writing every last And Just Like That script.

Then there were the garden variety gay reactions:

And we can’t forget the New Jersey icons who wasted no time in making it ALL about them!

Is the world ending, or is Mother Nature simply asserting her motherdom? It’s anybody’s guess, really.

Perhaps Sondheim said it best, despite being dead for two years.

And if there’s one thing about NYC, it’s that nothing stops a merch rollout. Nothing.
