This Bites! Sharknado 3 Is Basically Just 2 Hours of Comcast-Branded Content

Starring Xfinity and Universal Studios Florida

There have only been a handful of TV moments that became true social media phenomena, but the original Sharknado certainly qualifies.

The Syfy movie premiered with almost no fanfare two summers ago, but as word quickly spread on Twitter of what was transpiring—Killer sharks in tornadoes! Cheesy effects! Wooden performances! Laughable dialogue! Tara Reid!—viewers tuned in and reveled en masse in the utter ridiculousness. 

Syfy doubled down for last year's Sharknado 2: The Second One, and while that movie lacked the novelty of the original, it still had plenty of enjoyably nutty moments, like Ian Ziering proposing to Reid using the ring from her severed hand after retrieving it from a shark's belly.

Now the network is going for a hat trick with Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, which debuts Wednesday at 9 p.m.
