Robert Pattinson’s nasty microwave pasta inspires equally unhinged memes

A spectre is haunting Twitter — of the microwave pasta dish Robert Pattinson cooked for his self-shot GQ cover.

All the powers of social media have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this demonic creation: Reporters for Mel Magazine, Man Repeller and countless other internet provocateurs attempted to make Pattinson’s version of piccolini cuscino — a proprietary recipe involving pasta, cheese, sugar and cornflakes smashed into a tinfoil ball and then mistakenly put into the microwave instead of the oven.

“The f–king electricity … Oh my God,” says Pattinson from the floor after the aluminum explodes in the profoundly unhinged interview.

The profile has deeply resonated with internet denizens who, trapped in quarantine because of the coronavirus pandemic, find the surrealist cooking failures of an objectively hot individual to be extremely relatable content — a balm for the dreamlike state of nihilism many find themselves in after accepting their fate to indefinitely stay inside with limited human interaction.
