A clear violation of public health rules, Twitter users have been non-stop discussing the "McGill fight club" event since the night it happened.

The poster for the illegal McGill Fight Club is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The pastel ig aethetic. The map to the location of it. Using people's real names. Specific location of the "casino". Quite frankly can't pick a favorite part. https://t.co/jGZcKuqgHrâ Ben Boehlert (@bhboehlert) November 11, 2020 Breaking news! BREAKING: despite no one asking, mcgill fight club takes a stance on several international conflictsâ noah's baja blast stan account (@arkenthusiast) November 11, 2020 This event could very well do down in history. I would just like to make a toast to the Mcgill community for all fusing our brains together to create the single funniest day of quarantine. Mcgill Fight Club forever <3â queen joheen (@queenjoheen) November 12, 2020 Some people have tried to figure out what made it happen. Here's one of the best ideas: Mcgill admin didnât give students a reading week so now theyâll be reading fight club infographics for the weekâ Nathan de Lara (@NathandeLara_) November 12, 2020 Meanwhile, others are imagining visuals of what the event may have looked like. This is how I imagine the mcgill fight club kids will roll up to their disciplinary hearings. Maxime probably front and center pic.twitter.com/m78fH6qiGuâ Claudine (@ginghambitch) November 11, 2020 And of course, the idea activity is believed to be based on the original Fight Club movie released in 1999. The set and production of David Fincherâs fight club (1999) was so beautiful and not talked about enough!! #mcgill pic.twitter.com/kDE6SW6L0nâ Paniz (@panizkhh) November 11, 2020 Here, you can see the movie and the university really come together. In case you ever doubt your college choice, just remember McGill first years organized a Fight Club in the middle of a pandemic. Praying for you Maxime, whoever and wherever you may be. pic.twitter.com/AdWTmoAKNrâ âď¸HASHâď¸ (@hmbmac) November 11, 2020 And while we're on the topic of movies... so i think we can add fight club to the list of movies mcgill boys fundamentally misunderstoodâ lily (@L_Williams02) November 10, 2020 Will movies be written about this event? Only time will tell. 200 comedy writers typing on 200 typewriters for an infinite amount of time could not produce something as undeniably hysterical as the McGill Pandemic Freshman Fight Clubâ orgy cryptid (@hoe__no) November 12, 2020 One thing's for sure, Maxime has truly made his mark. Everyone wanna act tough until Maxime from mcgill fight club pulls upâ julia (@juju_nat17) November 12, 2020 People think even our dear CĂŠline will be honouring him. Celine Dion (Las Vegas) would absolutely pummel Maxime (RVC) at McGill Fight Club round 2 pic.twitter.com/F7lGJnzNxwâ Ryan LaFrancois (@ryan_lafrancois) November 12, 2020 McGill has forever been known as the "Harvard of Canada." but does harvard: the mcgill of america have fight club?â âabbyâ (@mrs_barbossa) November 11, 2020 Just gonna leave this one here... the mcgill fight club organizers : pic.twitter.com/ZOFk95ySdvâ jude (@idkjude) November 11, 2020 As for the rest, go ahead and look up "McGill fight club" on Twitter...
