When we received news about Harrison Ford’s plane crash and read claims that he was “seriously” or “critically” injured, we were worried. None of us were prepared to lose a man so important to our film-going lives. But, very quickly, reactions went from concern to jokes. And, for the most part, the jokes were all the same. Luckily, Ford is doing OK — because if he went out in a blaze of bad Twitter jokes, he’d have no choice but to haunt us all and kick all our asses as a ghost.
Here are the most common Harrison Ford jokes we saw on Twitter.
Many blamed a certain furry co-pilot:

A ton of people referenced the movie Six Days Seven Nights in what is the first time anyone has referenced or even remembered the movie Six Days Seven Nights since its release.
Harrison Ford just crash landed on a Venice golf course. Anne Heche seen fleeing from the scene. #HarrisonFord

Looks like Harrison Ford will be okay, but has anyone determined the location of Anne Heche?

Others went a bit more high-brow:
Could the Dr's working on Harrison Ford, please test his blood so we can work out once and for all if he is a replicant.

I’m now more convinced than ever that Harrison Ford is a replicant.

At least one person tried to be different:
Sources say the only WITNESS to the Harrison Ford plane crash was a young amish boy.

But most people had one line loaded and ready to go:

Harrison Ford to himself: Get off my plane! (just kidding, hope he's okay!)

And everyone assumed snakes were involved:
You know there were probably snakes on Harrison Ford's plane. Speedy recovery Indy! #HarrisonFord

Harrison Ford in a plane crash? Was there a snake in the cockpit by any chance? He hates snakes.

The reason Harrison Ford's plane crashed was because there was a snake on the plane. And as we all know, Indy hates snakes…

One thing is true above all else:
Twitter: "We love you."
Harrison Ford: "I know."— Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) March 6, 2015
Get well soon, Harrison Ford. Your internet needs you.
