VIEWERS have survived a feeding frenzy this week — Sharknado 2: The Second One has chomped its way through our television screens.

The hotly anticipated sequel to Sharknado aired in Australia on Thursday, July 31 on Foxtel’s Syfy, just minutes behind the United States.

The second instalment in the disaster franchise became the most tweeted-about TV movie on social media, the US cable network said on Thursday.

Viewers took to Twitter to share their love-hate for the low budget flick.

Here are some of the best tweets:

The entire cast of Taxi should be in #Sharknado2 as a fleet of cab drivers who outfox the sharks with their knowledge of back streets

So the #Sharknado2 drinking game: do a shot every time @TaraReid looks like she suddenly remembers she's on a movie set. #Drunknado

Andy Dick! Downtown Julie Brown! Billy Ray Cyrus! OMG #Sharknado2 is like the modern day Love Boat.

I missed #sharknado2. If I want to see and hear laughably unbelievable fiction, I’ll go to a Stewards’ meeting with a driver.

Can someone tell me the brand of lipstick @TaraReid is wearing? It's withstood SO MUCH. #sharknado2

After watching #Sharknado2, I'm inspired to write a movie involving dinosaurs getting stuck in wildfires. I'm calling it 'FlamingBosh'.

Apparently the sharknado only affects people six floors and up. The gathered crowed stands in the sun and watches. #sharknado2

"They're sharks, they're scary. No one wants to be eaten. But I've been eaten!" #OscarMoment #Sharknado2

So, if we understood that rousing speech, ‘sharks’ are to ‘scary’ as ‘subs’ are to ‘subs.’ #goosebumps #Sharknado2

Tara Reid was just acting to hard, her forehead almost moved. #sharknado2

Is #Sharknado2 a brilliant satire illuminating how numb our culture has become to violence? Or is it just a movie about shark tornadoes?

Definition of true love... Promising to not watch Sharknado2 until my fiancé gets home from work tonight. It's kiiiiillllliiing me

The sequel drew a whopping 3.9 million viewers in the US, quickly becoming Syfy’s most watched original movie ever. The ratings more than doubled the first Sharknado film, which landed 1.4m viewers with its July TV premiere last year.

Unsurprisingly, Sharknado 3 has already been confirmed and will hit television screens next year.

Sharknado 2 stars Tara Reid and Ian Ziering, with cameos from the likes of Kelly Osbourne, Vivica A. Fox, Matt Lauer, Al Roker, Judd Hirsch, Mark McGrath and even Robert Klein.
