      Is there a joke I’m missing?

        Remember remember the fifth of November

        Gunpowder, treason and plot.

        I see no reason

        Why gunpowder treason

        Should ever be forgot.

        Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent

        To blow up the King and the Parliament

        Three score barrels of powder below

        Poor old England to overthrow

        By God’s providence he was catch’d

        With a dark lantern and burning match

        Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring

        Holler boys, holler boys

        God save the King!

        IDK if a joke, but it’s a reference to the gunpowder plot.

          Maybe the comments here are, but the original tweet has literally zero reference to it. There is no joke in the original tweet, just pearl clutching.

            It’s the title of the post? The fifth of November is Guy Fawkes day, Gunpowder Plot.

              I think that’s their point, that the joke is flimsy to begin with

                Yeah, that’s what I originally assumed, but their response didn’t make sense.

        Yes… November 5th is the gunpowder plot anniversary made famous (again in NA by the movie V For Vendetta)

        Yes. Your reaction is a bit dramatic.
