So, the Rose Of Tralee just happened. And obviously, the Twitter humour was golden.
We can always rely on Twitter for a good meme, and with the Rose Of Tralee taking place this week, there was SO much material to work with.
One Twitter user noticed a striking resemblance between Daithà Ó Sé and this Powerpuff Girls character…

And to be honest, some of the moments were pretty relatable…

And some summed up the whole occasion pretty well:
Rose: I spent two years as a volunteer nurse in Syria. The conditions were terrible. One night the hospital came under rocket fire. We saved as many as we could. It haunts me to this very day
Daithi: So I understand you have a dance that you always do at weddings#RoseOfTralee

I’d like to point out that we’ve only had one teacher so far and no one has mentioned Coppers or @SupermacsIRE
So if you are playing #roseoftralee Bingo then you should still be sober

And someone noticed some fairly questionable material pop up on the screen…

And the show also provided some nightmare fuel…

And this pretty much sums up how we feel about this year’s edition.

And someone raised an important question…
Why are the #Roseoftralee companions called escorts and not Bro's of Tralee?

And to be honest, we’re devastated about this as well. if you know, you know…

I never thought of this until now…
Just think of the tourists in their hotel rooms right now turning on their TVs and seeing a girl in a ball gown dead lifting.#Roseoftralee #ROT pic.twitter.com/jCD0oJ5GoR

Honestly, what is even happening here?
I KNOW we are all turning our noses up at this or sneering at it
But she should win it alone for this

Whether you love it or hate it, you can’t deny how ICONIC the Rose Of Tralee is. And every year, without fail, it’s a highly meme-able event.
