#GonnaTellMyKids – This Twitter Trend Unleashed A Flood of Memes

This one has really caught on as a Twitter trend - #GonnaTellMyKids. This hashtag is an exercise in adulting it would seem. The tweeple are tweeting with the #GonnaTellMyKids hashtag, taking various celebrity moments, telling us how they would explain these moments to their kids sometime in the future.

For instance

These three guys from the Hera Pheri films would be passed off as the Jonas Brothers.

Or this

The Hera Pheri guys are very popular even after all these years.

Nokia logo

Remember that hand-reaching-out-to-hand logo of Nokia? No? Well no one owns a Nokia anymore so that’s understandable.

Indian superheroes?

Recently Chunky Pandey’s daughter said that her dad looked like Ironman. People thought that was hilarious. The picture on the right… well less said the better.

More Indian superheroes

Sasta Batman would be like this, feels this Twitter user.

Parents of yore

Corporal punishment of kids may be frowned-upon these days; not so in the past. 

This one puzzled me

Until I did a reverse Google image search and found out that this is Johnny Sins, porn star. Now it makes sense.

Destroying Dora

Those childhood memories of Dora the Explorer will forever be destroyed.

Remember Dhinchak Pooja?

I remember Dhinchak Pooja in spite of my best efforts to erase the memory from my brain.

The Bollywood alien movie

The tweeple have always found Bollywood’s interpretation of aliens to be rather funny (or do I mean laughable).

MU fans

The Marvel Universe movies continue to give untold joy to millions all over the world. They are going to narrate many nostalgic stories about this to their kids --- for sure.

True

People still spend lots of time watching reruns of Friends.

Topical

As the fortunes of Maharashtra’s government hang in the balance, this commentator recalled the film Nayak starring Anil Kapoor.

Travel blogger

One of the most well-travelled of Indians also shares his thoughts with the public via various platforms --- rather like a travel-blogger, implies this tweet.

Celebrities who look alike

The similarity between Roger Federer and Arbaz Khan prompted this one

Because…

…Of the impossible action in Rohit Shetty films? Sounds about right.

Indian Sherlock?

About right, seeing the popularity and longevity of this TV show.

On a serious note

This tweet draws attention to issues relating to climate change and government inaction that continue to be debated around the world. As usual, the tweeple manage to make us think even as they make us laugh… and sometimes question humanity itself.
