I hope this listicle finds you well, innies and outies of the internet. Anyone's that's watched both David Lynch and Mark Frost's iconic show Twin Peaks and Ben Stiller's Severance has likely noticed the influence the former has had on the latter. Maybe it's the awkward, disjointed dialogue; maybe it's the importance of symbolism, consciousness, and dreams; maybe it is Patricia Arquette's mere presence. Sure, she wasn't on Twin peaks, but she famously starred in Lynch's atmospheric film, Lost Highway, as a red head with mico bangs – much like our beloved Helly R. There are also direct influences in terms of cinematography. Notably, in the beginning of the most recent season, shots of Milchik riding his motorcycle around the town of Kier are awfully reminiscent of a particular, big forehead motorcyclist from Twin Peaks.

I am not the only one to have noticed the influence of Lynch's work on the new surreal drama. Meme maker @severancepeaks has gone the extra mile of making mash-up memes that reference both shows in clever and hilarious ways. If you can't decide between a melon bar or a hot, steaming bowl of creamed corn, scroll down for some memes made just for you.

  • Twin Peaks single handedly changed the TV landscape forever; it redefined what could be featured. Without it, shows like Severance, Lost, and True Detective could not exist – heady, atmospheric dramas with surreal elements and more questions than answers.

  • Ok, folks, who is the innie: Dougie Jones or Special Agent Dale Cooper? It seems to me that Coop is the outtie stuck on the severed floor.
