Reeling In The Years returned last night and it was an absolute cultural phenomenon

Reeling In The Years returned last night and it was an absolute event. Listen, there's absolutely nothing going on in life right now. We're all chronically bored and looking for something to get buzzed about. I think I can safely say that most of us found that in Reeling In The Years last night, which kind of sad but also kind of glorious. The vibes were just all correct. https://twitter.com/rosseireann/status/1381210190809346052 https://twitter.com/DoireannGarrihy/status/1381183402330705921 Anyway, as expected, Twitter was alight last night as soon as the episode aired. Focusing on 2010, there was only one way to start. Ah yes, the man slipping on the ice; a short piece of footage that has become ageless. And we were all in agreement that it was the perfect way to kick things off. https://twitter.com/iresimpsonsfans/status/1381344761940955139 https://twitter.com/heybestieswua/status/1381276133841330179 And from there on out, it was simply delicious Sunday night viewing, with many insightful observations made. As always with Reeling In The Years, the selection of tunes was fantastic.

I’m trying to take Reeling in the Years seriously but I keep getting distracted by the absolute TUNES they’re playing

But for many of us, there was also this... https://twitter.com/markruffaloTD/status/1381238248014368777 Same girl, same. https://twitter.com/yupfinglas/status/1381334444766814217 This was a CRIME. https://twitter.com/NotAtTheTabIe/status/1381336490987380736 And yes, this was an absolute red flag. Run a mile, sis. https://twitter.com/BlaisinSquad/status/1381337938009686017 T'was an occasion. https://twitter.com/slimethot/status/1381283061757849606 I'm not sure if I'm ready for this, to be honest. https://twitter.com/bicketss/status/1381344097676488707 And we were obsessed with Amy Huberman's reaction to seeing herself on the show. https://twitter.com/amyhuberman/status/1381375242803773440 https://twitter.com/amyhuberman/status/1381332614162812929 Honestly, it was iconic. It was equal parts comforting nostalgia, equal parts chronic anxiety. Seeing figures like Brian Cowen, the cast of Love/Hate and other faces we had buried in the back of our brains was... something. But as always, the tune selection was just perfect. READ NEXT: Leinster Rugby submit plans to host 2,000 supporters as early as next month
