The internet reacts to Stranger Things season 5 teaser with wild jokes, age confusion, and one burning question

As usual, the teaser prompted an explosion of interesting responses and memes on the internet. Fans used humor, sarcasm, and a little bit of light-hearted uncertainty on Twitter to process their seemingly very, very big feelings about this beloved show. One of the biggest questions floating around?

"What happens if I call the number?"

It's been a burning question ever since the teaser dropped, with netizens humorously speculating what could be on the other end of that mysterious phone line.

Beyond the phone number intrigue, fans were quick to point out the bizarre timeline of the show. One Twitter user wrote,

“'15 years old' idk I forgot how young they were suppose to be 😭,” perfectly capturing the disbelief that these now much-older-looking actors are still supposed to be teenagers.

Another chimed in,

“She’s like 25,” referring to how some of the actors have far surpassed their teenage years in real life.

The aging characters were certainly a hot topic, with another fan adding,

“15.. years.. old?” accompanied by a GIF of two confused men, making it clear that viewers are struggling to keep up with the show’s timeline

But not all reactions were positive. Some users seemed less enthusiastic, with one tweet reading,

"A flop we are glad it’s ending," expressing a sense of relief that the series is wrapping up.

Others, however, couldn't get enough of the new mystery:

“SOMEONE CALL ENOLA,” one fan tweeted, hilariously referencing Enola Holmes in a call for help.

Another joked,

"Search Nicki’s house first. We all know who she’s married to…” tying pop culture references into the ongoing speculation.

While some may claim:

"Nobody is watching this," the fervor online seems to suggest otherwise.
