Mick Fanning‘s extremely close encounter with a large shark at the J-bay Open in South Africa this morning has the world in absolute awe.
Including Bill Hader, apparently. We spoke to the legend about his new movie with Amy Schumer, Trainwreck (full interview coming soon), but we also wanted to know his thoughts on #sharkgate as well. Did you know you aren’t a man unless you can win a fistfight with a shark? Who knew.
Now that Mick Fanning and his courageous mate Julian Wilson (who ran into the water to help him) have come through this horrendous ordeal physically unscathed, the Internet has decided that it is completely appropriate to do LOLs. Here is just a taste of the shark-related humour that surface on the crazy ol’ World Wide Web today:
“So I punched it a couple of times….”

Oh, the shark has his own Twitter account now, too. He is very inappropriate for a shark, tbh:
.@Mick_Fanning I just wanted to hear your hot accent in person.

And he’s also rather threatening; he seems to still be hungry:
