Pleated Jeans
If you were brave enough to subject yourselves to yet another round of political bickering, interruptions, and skirting actual answers to questions during last night’s Vice Presidential Debate, you may have noticed something a little off during the end of the show…
Specifically, a surprise, last-minute debate participant…
Yes, a fly landed and pretty much just vibed out on Mike Pence’s head for nearly two minutes without him noticing.
But Twitter, oh, oh, oh, you better believe they noticed. Within minutes, the Fly was trending on Twitter worldwide and had at least 15 parody accounts (by my count.)

Here are some of the funniest reactions BuZziNG around the internet this morning:

It says a lot about this country when the biggest pull away about the debates tonight was: (in Beavis and Buthead voice) uh…huh, huh huh…there’s a fly.

When the fly happened I ran up to my TV to film the fly as if I was the only person who noticed the fly.

If SNL doesn’t get Jeff Goldblum to play the fly in this week’s episode, they’re missing a massive opportunity.

Biden team was quick. You can also buy a Biden-branded flyswatter for $10. https://t.co/cLJU8mdiKC pic.twitter.com/XPtMSTgaum
