30 Rock‘s Judah Friedlander was quite inspired by the artistry of Sharknado, however we don’t think we’ll be watching any of his proposed movie ideas anytime soon.

6. Rob Delaney Bashes Wes Anderson
Comedian Rob Delaney took a hilarious stab at filmmaker Wes Anderson‘s attraction to dark comedies by giving him faux credit for the horrifying yet hysterical SyFy film. Anthony C. Ferrante is actually the mastermind behind this shocking film.

1. Tara Reid
Blonde bombshell Tara Reid took to her Twitter account to compare her shark-infested tornado flick with the plane overcome by snakes. Snakes on a Plane was cool and all, but we think Sharknado takes the cake for most creative plot line!
I actually can’t wait for @sharknado it might be even better then snakes on a plane !!! Lol
I hope you will have as much fun as I had
