Catelynn and Tyler's "joke" didn't quite land
Roller Coaster
Catelynn and Tyler have apparently been glued to their social media accounts over the past 24 hours, happily fueling the hate-fires of their detractors. Seriously, Tyler has spent basically the entirety of the last day viciously taking down “haters” on Twitter (and posting cryptic messages like the one above).
Who knows? Maybe it’s all to get buzz going for the upcoming season of Teen Mom OG?
It’s really hard to say. It’s been crazy from start to finish. I get that Catelynn thought that using the cartoon baby would lead people to understand that it was a gag, but it clearly wasn’t obvious enough. I, for one, thought it was one of those cute, semi-clever baby announcements that the Teen Moms like to post.
Okay, guys…
In the end, it doesn’t matter. They really need to read the room. If there is one thing I’ve learned from writing comedy, it’s that it’s only a joke if it lands. If it doesn’t land, you pull yourself up, apologize for the delivery, and hope for a better punchline next time. You don’t fight and insult others until people think that it’s funny.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that’s probably what the Baltierras need to do at this point.
