Elizabeth Warren "Flipped The Switch" With SNL's Kate McKinnon, Now That Meme Is Back


Elizabeth Warren dropped out of the presidential race on Thursday, and by late Saturday night, she had already flipped the switch.
Yes, the meme that we all thought was as dead as Warren's campaign, the "Flipped the Switch" challenge made a bit of a return care of Saturday Night Live. In a social media post with her SNL surrogate Kate McKinnon, Warren and McKinnon took their twin status and applied it to the Drake song "Nonstop," which famously features the line I just flipped the switch.

For those who don't remember, the "Flipped the Switch" challenge first went viral in 2018. The meme features participants playing the song and dressed one way. As the song reaches the lyric "I just flipped the switch," the video cuts to black and the person returns in a different style of dress.
The reaction to the post was unsurprising. As fellow kids say: It broke the internet. Some of her fellow Democratic politicians
ok this is legendary

Others, particularly Warren's detractors, who think she should quit being on SNL for five minutes and endorse Bernie Sanders, were less enthused.

More disconcertingly, it looks like this challenge is making a little bit of a comeback because of the post. JLo and Arod did one, and so did this guy and his dog.
Late night tik toks @JLo 😂 #WaitForIt

But most importantly, the man himself, Drake weighed in on the video. He said, "Wow I need to come home." Why he said this is still a mystery.
