What do you get when you combine dozens of armed white terrorists and bored employees trolling Twitter the Monday after New Years?

Some puntastic trending hashtags, that’s what!

After news broke that dozens of armed ranchers were occupying a national wildlife refuge in Oregon on a vague mission to fight federal “government tyranny,” it didn’t take long for Twitter users to begin mocking the homegrown terrorists with the clever hashtag #YallQaeda.

We’re not sure who exactly to credit with coining the term, but whoever they are should know that the internet thanks them. Other creative users followed suit with more Jihadist puns such as: #YeeHawdists#YokelHaram, and my personal favorite #VanillaIsis.

If you don’t have time to surf the web and weed out the inevitable really racist tweets, we’ve collected some of the best from the hashtags for your viewing pleasure below.

If all of those fantastic Vanilla Ice puns left you craving a bit of 90s nostalgia, feel free to liven up your post-holiday slump with the global hit that skyrocketed him to one-hit-wonderdom. Happy Monday everyone!
