Big Bird Announced That He's Suddenly Very Tiny—And The Reactions Are Hilariously Intense

After Big Bird announced on X, formerly Twitter, that he is no longer big and doesn't know why, the internet came in with some classic reactions.

Social media has been buzzing lately with some of the greatest concerns of our time.

Between the Barbie Oscar snubs and the impending "Will Taylor Swift make it to Vegas in time for the Super Bowl" dilemma, we didn't realize the internet had the capacity for another substantial worry, but here we are.


Big Bird is small, and he needs our help.

The formerly large bird took to X, formerly Twitter, last week to deliver the news.

He tweeted:

"Uh oh! Does anyone know how to make me big Big Bird again?"

For the next seven days, Big Bird documented his journey as "just 'Bird."

Day two saw a plea for help.

"Day 2 of being tiny. Does this mean that I am now just 'Bird'?"
"Has anyone figured how to help me?"

By the third day, Big Bird shared his concern that even his pals couldn't see him.

On Day 4, he expressed his gratitude for an insect ride to his nest, but he still needed help.

On the fifth day, Just Bird was thankful to be "seen by all of you."

But he was, however, still tiny.

And people on social media did not take the situation lightly.





*Breaking*

We just received an update, and all is well again.

Big (again) Bird just tweeted:

"I’m big again! What an adventure the last 7 days have been."
"I learned so much by seeing the world from a different perspective. @Elmo and so many other friends checked in on me."
"Thank you to all that checked in to #HelpBigBird. Today and everyday, let’s #HelpEachOther! 💛"

Whew, what a harrowing seven days. Hopefully, the world can rest easy once again.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Ann Coulter Faces Fierce Backlash After Saying 'We Didn't Kill Enough Indians' In Deleted Post

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
