Companies Commemorate Queen Carking It
When the words “the Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon” hit newsrooms across the world, brands and celebrities were quick to comment on the passing of Her Majesty.
Some of the tweets regarding the death of the monarch were strange, to say the least. Here are the best ones we found.
Peppa Pig
Wholesome British children’s television show Peppa Pig marked the death of the royal in an interesting way, depicting Her Late Majesty playing in muddy puddles with Peppa herself. While cute on face value, Elizabeth II was depicted in a similar way to Mummy Pig, Peppa’s mother, implying that the late royal was somehow related to Peppa Pig. Not sure how that’s possible, though there could be rumours of an affair on the cards. One mourner replied to the tweet with “Peppa I’m so sorry for your loss”, further implying that Peppa Pig was actually real. Lots to uncover here.
Jimmy’s Dildo Emporium
Jimmy’s Dildo Emporium had a respectful remark on Her Majesty’s passing, despite a pink phallus profile picture accompanying the sombre message. Out of respect, the Dildo Emporium has not tweeted since the news broke.
Domino’s Pizza
I doubt the royal family has ever tasted Domino’s Pizza. They’re known for their value range meal deals at unbeatable cheap prices, something Her Majesty has never had to worry about. Regardless, Domino’s’ UK branding went all black in mourning.
IGN UK Deals
Deal alert! IGN UK Deals did not mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II, instead opting for a budget-friendly way to deliver the news to consumers wanting to save a few dollars. Interested buyers were encouraged to use the promo code ‘RIP’ to get a sweet deal of 15% off a Funko Pop of the royal.
Crossfit UK
The team at Crossfit UK decided to mourn the death of the Queen whilst making sure you got your daily workout in. The “Queen Elizabeth II” workout regime started with 70 jumping lunges, one for each year she reigned as monarch, and ended with 96 double unders to celebrate each year of her life. As a rest halfway through the exercise, crossfitters were encouraged to spend a one respectful minute rest “in silence”. The post has since been deleted due to hate comments, but don’t worry, Salient got a screenshot.
Paris Hilton
The notable celeb and woman who sung “It’s H-I-L-T-O-N, bitch, I’m fucking Paris” mourned the death of the late Queen by quote tweeting the original announcement from The Royal Family, adding that Her Majesty was “the original girl boss”. The tweet was complete with the crown emoji and broken heart emoji to show her true feelings—a picture paints a thousand words.
Crazy Frog
Crazy Frog, known for sporting a tiny cock and riding a motorcycle in the world’s most annoying music video (second only to perhaps “The Gummy Bear Song” from the same era) tweeted three simple words: “R.I.P The Queen”. A touching candle emoji was added after the sentiment. This tweet wasn’t all that strange, it’s just weird to think that someone could’ve found out this historically significant news from an animated blue frog.
