The first teaser for Disney‘s upcoming movie Christopher Robin, a new live-action film starring Ewan McGregor as our favorite child from the Hundred Acre Wood who has grown up to become an overworked adult, elicited a wave of tender reactions from anyone who watched it, because at the end of this first peek, a forlorn Christopher is stunned to encounter his old friend Winnie the Pooh, in a touching moment that transported generations of fans back to their childhood.

And before our eyes were even dry the internet immediately turned it into the hilarious meme #PoohSays.

Because as much as hearing Winnie the Pooh’s distinct sweet voice made us tear up, we weren’t the only ones who giggled a little at how inherently funny it is to greet a talking bear with an earnest “Pooh.”

We couldn’t possibly love Winnie the Pooh anymore than we do, but we can’t deny his name is funny. Which is why it was ripe for some internet silliness, which started when Twitter user JTEmoviethinks spawned the #PoohSays meme, which replaces our favorite little bear’s response with some famous lines from other well-known characters. (Though maybe throw on some headphones if you are at the office, because some of these are NSFW.)

Getting Seth MacFarlane to write, direct, and star in CHRISTOPHER ROBIN was certainly a choice. (h/t @danielvjackson) pic.twitter.com/QRyEb9yDmw

But why only limit yourself to Winnie the Pooh’s response when you can also take advantage of Ewan McGregor’s role in the film.

Of course, who needs the actual clip when you already have the best Winnie the Pooh footage ever.

Winnie the Pooh is the best, but sometimes the internet is pretty great too.

Jen and Tyler Bartel’s Magical Girls Pack a Punch in “Crystal Fighters”

MILWAUKIE, Ore., (February 28, 2018)—You’ve never seen magical girls like this! Co-writers Jen Bartel (Blackbird, America, Jem and the Holograms) and Tyler Bartel step into the ring for Crystal Fighters, a unique story described as Sailor Moon meets Street Fighter! Originally offered on the digital platform Stela, Dark Horse will publish the complete Chaos Arena: Crystal Fighters web comic series to trade paperback for the first time ever!

Crystal Fighters follows a bored teen named Stella who has grown up in a world fully immersed in virtual reality games. But like many teens, her parents restrict her gaming to safe “age-appropriate” games. Enter “Crystal Fighters,” a magical girl game filled with bright colors and nauseating positivity. But for Stella, things take a turn for the interesting when she discovers an underground magical girl fight club within the game that adds a whole new level of thrills and danger to her once mundane gaming experience. But the phrase “be careful what you wish for” soon takes on a whole new meaning as she discovers a dark side to the magical girls as she is pulled into a series of tournaments in the virtual reality game that could have real-world consequences.

Crystal Fighters TPB goes on sale August 29, 2018 and is available for pre-order on Amazon and your local comic shop.
