The internet couldn't help but notice Jeff Bezos leave Earth in a giant penis-shaped rocket and spawned a million memes.
Jeff Bezos made a successful trip to space this week and is busy celebrating the feat but Twitter couldn't help but notice that his rocket looks like a giant penis. The penis rocket is not easy to miss and was the butt of jokes on Twitter, where many concurred that the private billionaires' space race was nothing but their own version of a d*ck-measuring contest. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson were the billionaires who started their own private space race for no reason whatsoever. Richard Branson was the first to make it to space, followed by Jeff Bezos. Rumor has it that Elon Musk is still checking the integrity of his rocket by getting people to throw steel balls at it.

While one could argue that all rockets look like penises, Jeff Bezos' rocket is certainly the most penis-looking rocket of them all. Bezos was already generating enough meme content by wearing a cowboy hat, and riding a penis rocket, but then had the audacity to thank Amazon workers and customers for picking up the tab for his leisure trip to space. The underpaid and overworked employees of Amazon certainly didn't find it earnest or funny. Many even signed a petition to deny Bezos entry back onto Earth.

The d*ck-shaped rocket spawned a million penis jokes, including comparisons with an Austin Powers movie. The jokes were, naturally, NSFW, and here are some of the best we came across on the internet:

Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos really played “just the tip” with outer space

Jeff Bezos spent more time in space than Amazon allowed in bathroom breaks last year.

I just logged on and apparently Bezos rode a big dick into space? Is that about right?

So this billionaire "space race" is nothing more than a dick-measuring contest between Musk, Bezos, and Branson. They are not investing billions to forward science or the bounds of human possibility. They are doing it to be the first rich guy to bounce around uselessly up there./

“This is not a dick-measuring contest” replied Bezos when asked about fellow billionaire Branson’s space flight. He then turned and boarded a giant penis to space.

Kind of fitting that #bezos goes to space in a giant flying dick. pic.twitter.com/ywijqpaqd3

It really has become a dick measuring contest for these billionaires https://t.co/EWDaWjBgDx

My mom's watching a news segment about Jeff Bezos going to space and she just muttered under her breath to herself, 'He looks like a penis.'

I kept rolling my eyes at the "Bezos' Penis Rocket" takes because i felt like it was a cheap shot and all rockets are naturally phallic so who cares... then I looked... his rocket is exceptionally penisy. It's easily 100 or 200% penisier than any other rocket I've ever seen.

The only way we’ll know that Jeff Bezos has been replaced by an evil shapeshifting space alien is if his worker conditions slightly improve

You don't need a 'd*ck' to be shot into space to realize it's a 'd*ck', especially at a time when the world is being ravaged by climate change and the millions are struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic.
