After the release of Richard Curtis and Danny Boyle’s Beatles film Yesterday, Twitter users have been penning their own versions of the quirky plot.
Yesterday follows a young man who wakes up from an accident to discover he is the only person who remembers the Beatles.
And naturally the internet had plenty of alternative narratives based on the film’s premise.
Arsenal fans might begin to feel like they are the only people who can remember the club’s unbeaten league campaign if their title drought goes on much longer.
The movie Yesterday, but only Arsenal fans remember the 2003-04 Premier League season.

The movie 'yesterday', but Jason Statham is the only person who can remember what sausages are, and he keeps desperately trying to show butchers and they just laugh him out of their shops like "mate who wants a condom full of mince??"

Podcasts failed to escape social media’s wrath.
The film Yesterday but I am the only one who remembers podcasts. And I take the secret to my grave.

It was only a matter of time before somebody found the meta sweet spot.
In ten years I’m going to make a movie that is the plot of the film Yesterday but no one remembers the film Yesterday so my main character creates the film Yesterday

And comedian Rhys James rounded things off nicely with a dig at the format of the joke itself.
‘Yesterday’ but everyone has forgotten this tweet format.
