Full House star Lori Loughlin is among 40 people charged in a nationwide college admissions cheating scandal in which wealthy parents dished up to $6.5 million for elite universities to accept their children, according to court records released Tuesday (Mar. 12).
The scam allegedly involves Yale, Georgetown, Stanford, University of Southern California, UCLA and the University of Texas. Officials have been investigating the so-called “Operation Varsity Blues” case for more than a year.
Due to Loughlin and Felicity Huffman’s involvement in the scandal, Twitter exploded with memes related to Full House and generally the unexpected nature of the situation. See the best ones below.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, what ever happened to predictability? The milk man, the paper boy, the evening TV? How did my client Lori Loughlin get delivered here? Somebody tell me please! This old world’s confusing me! Thank you, defense rests.”
