Happy Back to the Future Day, everyone! As in, October 21, 2015, the date that Marty McFly legendarily traveled to in Back To the Future II. This is not another dumb Facebook hoax, my friends; the day has finally arrived. We may not have flying cars or real-ass hoverboards (yet), and Michael J. Fox is now older than Christopher Lloyd was in the original movies, but we do have a lot of other cool innovations and the film continues to inspire future generations of aspiring Doc Browns.
In 2015 we also have the internet, a technological advancement not predicted in the original films, and more specifically we also have Twitter, which is pretty damn excited about this most hallowed of days. We’ve rounded up some of the best web reactions to Back to the Future Day, and be sure to check out the above important message from Doc Brown!

Happy Back to the Future Day! Never forget how Marty McFly destroyed the ring and turned his father Voldemort good again. Love movies.

People may be getting bored of all these Back to the Future puns but I'm going to continuum.

Sorry I celebrated Back To The Future Day by making out with all of your moms.

Today at Arbys, we'll be celebrating back to the future by hurling through time towards the inevitable eternal darkness that awaits us all.

And strangely, there was also a fair amount of Back to the Future Day backlash, as well as backlash to the backlash:
Remember kids: Tweet about Back to the Future responsibly.
If you feel like you've had too many BTTF tweets, take a cab or call a friend.

I’m really disappointed that Back to the Future 2 didn’t predict all the lame Back to the Future 2 memes.

“What’s wrong?”
“I’M FURIOUS.”
“Why?”
“PEOPLE ARE TWEETING ABOUT A THING THEY LIKE.”
“…So?”
“IT’S… IT’S… IT’S JUST BAD, OKAY?”
