It's the most wonderful time of the year — also known as Shark Week, which will air on the Discovery Channel from July 22 to July 29.
The shark-themed extravaganza, which will be hosted by Shaquille O'Neal this year, has prompted some jokes on Twitter.
Here are 16 of the best of them.
A few people miss the old Shark Week.
Can we go back to #sharkweek circa 2003 when it was actually about sharks and not an hourly appearance of big celebrities?! Am I alone in this?

“Remember when Shark Week showed documentaries?” is the new, “Remember when MTV showed videos?”.

Others love the addition of Shaq.
Shaq hosting shark week is everything I never knew I needed #ShaqWeek

You know why Shaq doesn’t know a lot about sharks? Sharks live in the ocean and Shaq is a Laker. #ShaqWeek#SharkWeek

Some have been joking about President Donald Trump's reported fear of sharks, which Stormy Daniels previously told InTouch Weekly about. "I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the sharks die," Trump, who was fixated on Shark Week at the time of their affair, reportedly said.

Expect crazy tweets from Trump in the next few days, with Mueller closing in, Manafort's trial set to begin, and of course Shark Week

Although not everyone is sold on Shark Week, as a concept.

And, of course, some people are sharing the cold, hard truth.
Shark week is actually the safest time to go to the beach because all the sharks are busy being on TV
