Move over, #NFID18, because there's a new hashtag in town. It's the #ExplainTVShowsBadly hashtag on Twitter, and it's here to change your perspective on TV 140 characters at a time. What's most fun about the trending #ExplainTVShowsBadly hashtag is the creativity Twitter brought to it. Participants used a liberal interpretation of 'badly', which meant they took an interesting approach of explaining a popular show — but, just as often, it led to a beloved series described through an entirely new lens. To scroll through the hashtag is like having your friend describe her new favorite TV show after she's had two cocktails, or asking the same of your mom pretty much ever. From kids' shows to '80s prime time TV, the result of #ExplainTVShowsBadly is a gleeful mash.

It's still happening, so feel free to jump in with your own brief description of television. Or, just sit back, relax, and scroll through dozens of Tweets that may or may not change the way you look at binge-worthy TV. Whether you think they sound so much better or impossibly worse, there's no denying that the #ExplainTVShowsBadly hashtag on Twitter makes your favorite TV shows sound hilariously different. One thing is for sure: You won't watch Sesame Street the same way again.

#ExplainTVShowsBadly will definitely change the way we watch the best TV shows out there. Some of the hashtag's entries are so perfectly vague, it's hard to even tell what they're explaining. Some have put a spin on '90s can't-miss TV that will definitely alter how we watch late-night reruns.

The #ExplainTVShowsBadly hashtag is still going strong. If you need a break from bingeing, but don't really want to leave your TV behind, we heartily recommend a scroll. If you think of any hilariously weird ways to condense a classic series into 140 characters, you can definitely jump in on Twitter.

On Thursday, the literary nerds of Twitter came out in full force to participate in the hilarious hashtag #ExplainABookPlotBadly. It was an exercise in both concision (140 characters, y'all) and gracefully missing the point.

It's easy enough to explain the world's most famous books in 140 characters or less. Try this one: Boy learns he's a wizard, spends teenage years fighting nemesis who killed his parents. But it's a lot harder to explain books in a way that's simultaneously terrible and somewhat recognizable. As with other literary Twitter hashtags, this one brought a breath of fresh — okay, musty, library-scented — air to a a social media platform that's often crowded with outrage and selfies.
