The Walking Dead: Twitter Reacts To 'Service'

Another week of The Walking Dead is in the books and there was definitely a lot to tweet about! From Negan's lines to Rick's utter brokenness, fans all over Twitter were using the platform to express their deepest feelings.

Let's be honest, most of the tweets were just complaining about Negan.

Whether it was because he was hurting a beloved character, or his dialogue was just a little too much to handle, it seemed like every other tweet was a fan complaining about Negan's presence on-screen.

The other hot topics included desperate cries for Dwight's death, and pleads with Rick to just kill someone again.

It turned out to be an eventful week on The Walking Dead, so flip through the slideshow to check out the top tweets from this week's episode.


Let Me In

Nothing like a great gif to get things started on a Monday morning!

When the episode first began, Negan came knocking on the gates of Alexandria to collect on his first supply run to the community. Rick and the others weren't ready for him, but he came nontheless.

In a moment that was taken directly from the comics, Negan used a nursery rhyme to announce his presence.

Our good friend @HershelGreene1 pointed out that this wasn't the first time a major villain had used this same line to enter a situation. Things didn't exactly end well for Jack Nicholson, so maybe they won't for Negan either.

Too Far Dude...

In what may be one of the funniest, but totally meanest, tweets of the night, @DiptasticGWO came in with a zinger out of left field.

When Negan's Saviors all started piling out of their trucks and vans, it was difficult to ignore the fact that they all seemed pretty ragged. Negan is always nice and clean, but the other members of Sancutary don't have it so great.

This tweet caught many off-guard, and it pointed out that a lot of these guys looked beyond homeless. So homeless, in fact, that it was insinuated they would have been turned away from the soup kitchen.

Do they turn anyone away? Apparently they do.

Yes, They Should Have

One of the biggest problems comic fans have had with The Walking Dead TV show, is their choice to kill off Andrea in season three.

While it seemed like the right move from a TV-watcher's perspective, Andrea is one of the biggest characters in the entire comic. Not only does she survive longer than they allowed her in the show, but she is still living at Rick's side in the current comic issues.

Many of the female characters, mainly Michonne and Sasha, have been slowly taking Andrea's place to various degrees.

As @JustinThomas97 points out, watching Michonne try to be Andrea is difficult for comic readers.

Meanest Tweet #2

If the soup kitchen line was a little too painful for you, then you'll want to skip past this one.

Parody account @TheRickyGrimes went all in with Negan on the making-fun-of-Olivia train, and doubled down on his insults.

In one comment, this tweet makes fun of the character's weight, just as Negan does, as well as continues to insult her on a job she could have done much better.

Yes, Olivia needed to do a better job of keeping track of all the guns, but it's not her fault that Spencer decided to go all rogue and hide a couple in his house.

STAY CALM

Another parody account swooped in and had fans rolling with this well-timed gif.

@ImmortalDixon commented on the choices that certain characters make regarding their obedience to Negan. This particular tweet followed Carl's bright idea to hold a gun to one of the Saviors in his house.

This particular gif was a popular scene from The Office, where Michael Scott panics during a staged fire drill. He may be yelling for everyone to stay calm, but he is surely in panic-mode.

The tweet related this feeling to the one that fans get whenever someone makes a mistake in front of Negan. It makes things difficult to watch, that's for sure.

Not So Fast, Justin

An incredible amount of fans were professing their deep hatred for Negan throughout the episode. Many went so far as to say they were ready for Negan to be killed off sooner rather than later.

Even some celebrities were getting in on the anti-Negan action.

NFL running back Justin Forsett is an avid fan of The Walking Dead, and he seemed to be pretty fed-up with Negan's ridiculous antics. He used his tweet to announce that he believes Negan needs to go.

Don't worry Justin, an enormous amount of fans totally agree with you. Comic fans, on the other hand, are totally ready for more of the villain.

TWEET OF THE WEEK

It's kind of a cop out to feature one of the show's stars in the top tweet of the week, but the winning attributes of this post just can't be denied.

Jordan Woods-Robinson, who plays Eric on The Walking Dead, posted a picture of himself dressed as Doug Funny. Right next to the pic, was the original Doug Funny, in the same position.

While this tweet didn't have much to do with the actual episode, it still contained the hashtag for the show. Not only that, but it was just such an awesome tweet that we couldn't ignore it.

Congrats to all the tweets featured from last night's episode, and be ready to compete again when 'At Risk' airs next Sunday!
