Marvel Rivals Fans Are Losing It Over The Thing’s Endless Puns

The community’s patience is running thin, and it’s all thanks to one rocky hero and a whole lot of dad jokes.

“Here’s the Thing”… The Jokes Won’t Stop

Since The Thing (aka Ben Grimm) dropped into Marvel Rivals on February 21, players have been bombarded with one pun over and over again:

    “Here’s the thing.”

The phrase has completely taken over lobbies, with players spamming it every chance they get. One frustrated fan summed it up perfectly:

    “Please….Just please stop.”

Honestly, the lobbies are now basically pun battlegrounds.

The Thing is Driving Players Up the Wall

Some players are seriously over it already.

    “It’s so fking corny. St stopped being funny after a week,” complained one player—a sentiment that racked up 24K likes in less than a day.

Another chimed in:

    “Maybe I’m crazy, but it was cringe-unfunny the first time. How does every Marvel fan find this hilarious forever?”

And honestly? Fair point. But the pun train? It’s still full speed ahead.

But Wait—The Pun Masters Strike Back

While some are begging for mercy, others are doubling down with even more puns:

• “Acting like things have ben grim recently.”
• “It’s been fantastic four the community.”
• “They’ve been on fire, and saying the jokes will disappear is a stretch.”

One fan declared:

    “I will not stop because that joke is FANTASTIC.”

Another classic exchange from a live match went:

• Player 1: “That Storm combo is gonna be a problem.”
• Player 2: “Here’s the thing. It’s looking grim.”
• Player 1: “Run that by me again?”

Absolute chaos.

Missed Opportunity: “HEEEEEEEEERE’S JOHNNY!”

Some fans are disappointed that Johnny Storm (Human Torch), who also joined the roster on February 21, isn’t getting the same pun treatment.

    “Honestly, I’m disappointed by the lack of ‘HEEEEEEEEERE’S JOHNNY.’”

Come on, Marvel Rivals community—step up your pun game!

The Puns Are Here to Stay

Love them or hate them, one thing’s for sure:

    As long as The Thing is in Marvel Rivals, the puns are going nowhere.

So whether you’re spamming “Here’s the thing…” in every match or groaning every time you hear it, just embrace the chaos—because this rocky hero and his rocky humor aren’t leaving anytime soon.
