Meme Historians Declare Red Lobster Times Square Closure The Ultimate 'Cheddar Bay Biscuit Goodbye' As Internet Mourns With Unhinged Tributes
In a twist that has left both crustaceans and meme archivists baffled, the closure of the Red Lobster in Times Square has officially become the internet's favorite tragicomedy. The irony? While tourists wept for lost photo ops with giant lobster statues, Gen Z memelords pivoted to eulogizing the restaurant as a 'sacrificial Cheddar Bay Biscuit' thrown into the concrete jungle of Manhattan.
The true viral absurdity emerged when social media user @CrustaceanAnarchy posted a photo of a lone, uneaten biscuit on the counter, captioned, 'This is what a 99% off sale looks like when the Endless Shrimp dream dies.' Within hours, the 'Red Lobster Times Square closure' became a TikTok sound, with users somberly dueting the crackle of a lobster shell breaking under the weight of gentrification. The final slap? Reports that a single, defiant seagull—dubbed 'Gary the Market Analyst' by locals—has been spotted standing guard at the shuttered door, holding a tiny protest sign reading 'They took my butter.'
