The funny, the ridiculous and the just plain sad...
In case you were living under a rock last night (or you just didn't give a fuck), a major character was killed off in the Channel Ten rom-com/drama series Offspring. We were one of the minority it would appear, that didn't tune in to see the love of Nina's life, Patrick (played by Matt LeNevez) meet his doom, but we did stay glued to our Twitter feed, which went into overdrive to say the least in the episode's final minutes.
Basically, a lot of people really gave a shit about this event - heck some were comparing it to the Game Of Thrones mega controversial Red Wedding ep. But plenty more people took it upon themselves to take the absolute piss out of it too. So here are some of the best #Offspring tweets from last night and today that we've seen:
Everyone talking about the death on #offspring today is only reminding me of when bouncer died on Neighbours and I'm not coping emotionally.

I'm more upset that the news didn't list Madge's death on Neighbours as a vivid TV death scene #offspring

So Offspring is no Neighbours it would appear.

Looks like Dear Baby G had other plans for today though Marc...
I'm guessing Channel 10 & #Offspring have collectively ruined International Female Orgasm Day today for many women. #notme

Do people actually still watch Grey's Anatomy?
To all #Offspring fans still upset about last night, try being a #GreysAnatomy fan. We lose a character just about every season.

Nothing should come between a person and their car Shayne.
My anger/disappointment is at a point where if I owned a Mazda, I'd sell it. #offspring

Not a happy Hannah...
Am attributing bad mood to Patrick's untimely death. #Offspring

Snap!
Watching #Offspring with mum. Me: "Well that was depressing." Mum: "Speaking of depressing..." *'This Week Live' starts playing*.

Leave it to American rockers The Offspring to have the final say on the matter...
