Joey doesn’t share mask

The latest tweet informs the citizens about the dangers of Covid-19 and asking them to wear masks all the time. It has got an American TV show ‘Friends’ connection. They recently tweeted a picture of Joey Tribbiani (played by Matt LeBlanc) sitting with his mask on. The tweet reads: If 'friends' share masks, it all becomes a 'moo point!' #JoeyDoesntShareMasks #TakingOnCorona. Drawing reference to Joey’s character, who hates to share food, the Friends meme reads: Joey doesn’t share mask. lay is causing pain and heartbreak'. From: Twitter

Another one from Friends

The ‘Friends’ connection is not new. Here’s another time when Mumbai Police twitter handle drew inspiration from the American sitcom. Remember Chandler’s (Matthew Perry) sarcastic dialogue. He introduces himself as – Hi, I am Chandler. I tell jokes when I am uncomfortable. Now, here’s a meme on the same. The kind of ‘Friends’ for keeps! #FriendsOfSafety. From: Twitter

When MSD meant Maintain Social Distancing

Wishing Mahendra Singh Dhoni on his birthday on July 7, Mumbai Police made sure to make it informative and witty. While the former Indian captain is known by fans as MSD, this tweet had a different meaning for his initials.

Coronavirus are the Space Invaders

Taking a cue from video games, Mumbai Police’ tweet found an interesting way to defeat the coronavirus. The message reads: Put some 'Space' between you and these 'invaders'. Use masks as 'shields'. #TakingOnCorona. From: Twitter

Bringing back the 90’s nostalgia

Without letting the people panic, Mumbai Police' Twitter handle put across the message very creatively bringing back the nostalgia of 90’s show. They asked everyone to not go on the 'Nukkad' (street corner) as there's Mahabharata (fight against coronavirus) that is happening outside. And, if you don't want your 'Mungerilal's' dreams to not get ruined then follow all the protocols or else it will turn out to be a flop show. A simple message that’s been just around the ‘Nukkad’ for decades. #NotJustNostalgia #TakingOnCorona. From: Twitter

When even Mojo Jojo is fighting against the evil

The Powerpuff Girls’ might be fighting against Mojo Jojo, but when it comes to Coronavirus, even the baddie is on the good side. Take a look: Mojo Jojo's badder than you, #Coronavirus ! But guess what? He’s on our side. He is #TakingOnCorona #MojoAgainstEvil. From: Twitter

Lock your doors as Prof. Dumbledore orders

Here’s another funny take on the lockdown taking inspiration from J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter. The tweet reads: ‘Colloportus' your doors, folks! A lot more than just 5 points will be awarded to all those who stay home during #lockdown and don’t create panic. #DumbledoreSaysShutTheDoor #TakingOnCorona. From: Twitter

Guess the movie, wear a mask

No brownie points for guessing which iconic movie we are talking about here. Wonder how Paresh Rawal aka Teja of Andaz Apna Apna would say dialogue in this pandemic? See the image as the tweet reads: Smart Boy! #MaskApnaApna #WearAMask #MaskProtects #MaskIsAMust. From: Twitter
