Wednesday marks the 37th anniversary of the film Jaws, a cult classic that continues to instill fear in beach dwellers today, thanks to that terrifying giant shark.
The 1975 film was monumental in the history of thrillers and summer blockbusters. From the shark itself to the theme song, which is still used to signify impending doom, most of us grew up afraid of deep waters — even if it was just our neighbor's pool.
Jaws was also one of the first productions to distribute a wide national release with heavy television advertising. Before that, a film entered new markets very slowly and built support from an audience over time.
In celebration of the film, we've gathered some of the funny ways that sharks have been incorporated into web culture. Whether its photoshopped images, GIFs or Tumblrs, sharks might be swimming more prominently on the web than in real life. (That's what we're going to tell ourselves anyway.)
Here are 15 hilarious examples of shark enthusiasm on the web.
