Lessons Learned From Sharknado [VIDEO]

On Wednesday night, the campy so-bad-it’s-good sequel “Sharknado 2: The Second One” debuted on the Syfy network.

The epic film featured stars Tara Reid, Ian Ziering, Mark McGrath and Vivica A. Fox, plus a slew of several celebrity cameos as they took on freak tornadoes filled with man-eating sharks in New York City.

Beverly Hills 90210 star Ian Ziering reprised his role as Fin Shepard, an ex-surfer and bar owner who now has national fame for fighting the Sharknado in Los Angeles. The film begins with Tara Reid and Ziering on a plane to New York. While they are still divorced, it is clear they are attempting to reconcile. However, the mix of sharks and tornadoes seems to follow them to New York.

The film teaches some valuable lessons in life, love, strategy and leadership:

1) It’s never too soon to joke about your ex-wife losing her hand to a shark.

2) Don’t worry about your ex-wife losing her hand. She’ll improvise without it.

3) When someone asks you if you’re making up your plan to take on the sharks, reassure them with the fact that you are.

4) Awkward kissing: Sometimes people don’t get the hint that it’s been over for awhile.

5) Sometimes your ex still doesn’t get the hint that it’s over but you need them to help you end a Sharknado so you put up with their crazy thoughts.

6) Some people have no sense of urgency.

7) Amazingly enough, Tara Reid can apparently write books and Kelly Osborne can apparently read.

8) No time is a bad time to propose marriage. Simply take the ring off of her severed hand and get down on one knee, loverboy.

9) Always be closing. Make sure to close an epic motivational speech in New York history by driving a chainsaw through a shark.

10) All mayors should trust the fate of their city’s security with a former surfer.

11) Bring your taser to a Sharknado. You might need it to get a shark off your friend’s face.

12) Matt Lauer and Al Roker do great breaking Sharknado news.

13) There are some things you shouldn’t say in Times Square like getting supplies for bombs, but in a Sharknado…

14) Throwing bombs into tornadoes is a good try.

15) You can end a Sharknado with a chainsaw every time.

16) Calm down. The guy from ‘Airplane’ is your captain. Ignore the shark on the wing outside.

17) Sharks are great for batting practice.

18) Sharks, don’t mess with Mets fans on the subway.

19) Even pizza places in New York are not safe from sharks.

20) Sharks are tougher in New York than LA.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
