At the end of Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos snapped his fingers and wiped out half the population of the universe.
While the immediate results were horrifying (half of our beloved superheroes fading into dust before our eyes), the long-term consequences are no less grim.
Imagine a world where only half of every band you love is still alive to play the music.

Splitting up singing duos like Hall and Oates seemed especially tragic.

And what would happen to some of our favorite reality television shows?

@usedwigs @Popehat Let's grab a bite to eat on the way. There's a Three Guys around the corner.— Christopher Logie (@Christopher Logie)1553707514.0
Five Guys may have made it through with over "half" of their people, but statistically it all evens out.

As sad as it may have made the surviving Avengers, Twitter users couldn't help but start brainstorming adapted band names.

For some, these jokes, only a year after the fictional worldwide tragedy, were in bad taste.

Hopefully, we'll have Garfunkel's partner back before long.
