in Game 3 of the World Series, captivated fans could only joke about the historically long amount of time the Dodgers required before achieving a 3-2 win over the Red Sox.

In total, the game lasted for a record 7 hours and 20 minutes. When it finally ended in the bottom of the 18th on a walk-off home run from Los Angeles’s Max Muncy, the Dodgers were back in the series ahead of Game 4, scheduled for later on Saturday.

Twitter reacted with characteristic humor to the protracted event.

Here’s a look at a few of the jokes from celebrities, fans, and media:

When I was a boy, a loaf of bread was a nickel, Teddy Roosevelt was president and this game was in the fourth inning. #WorldSeries18
