Thanos was so last year and Colossus was so last month — this week, the internet is thirsty for a new fictional character, Billy. Who is Billy? He’s the creepy, bike-riding clown puppet from the Saw horror movie franchise, of course. He’s also shockingly ripped.
Do you want to play a game? You shouldn’t. (I’m sorry in advance.)

“Do I have your attention now?” the tweet reads, along with the handle for Saw Quotes. The account, which launched in January, is to Saw as Emo Kylo Ren is to Star Wars, with tweets like, “Hey, listen, I know the news media is all ‘Jigsaw Killer’ and ‘murderer’ but like it’s actually like — you never hear about the people I helped. Nobody calls me the Jigsaw Guy Whose Traps People Survive. Don’t let’em get you discouraged, you could absolutely get through this.” The sexy Billy pic (which already existed as a meme) appears to be part of a marketing campaign for Spiral: From the Book of Saw.
I’m #sponsored so excited for you guys to see my new movie Spiral, we all worked really hard on it, Chris and Sam are true professionals, fantastic guys, Lionsgate paid me very well to post this and I trust that the checks have cleared.

Hey uhh @Saw… still waiting on those checks. Do you think this is a game? There are consequences for not playing by the rules. https://t.co/lQfIhVtSXq pic.twitter.com/W0fZsBD1MM

That’s it, @Saw, your time is up. For years you have exploited my ingenuity for the sake of your films. Well today you must ask yourself – how far are you willing to go to take back what’s yours? pic.twitter.com/iC7m0EhIL6

“We apologize for our latest tweet, we believe our social media account has been compromised and we’re working on a solution,” the official Saw account tweeted after posting the pic (I can’t stop staring at the spiral nipples). Saw and Saw Quotes then started tweeting at (threatening) each other, which is not at all confusing.
The games have begun. I warned you… now you must play. https://t.co/E6yTlnBC8X

The response to the photo was, let’s say, divided.
