Warning: There are spoilers ahead for "The Walking Dead" if you're not caught up with the midseason finale.
Carl's got jokes when it comes to "The Walking Dead."
Chandler Riggs, who plays one of the original survivors on the AMC hit series, went on a bit of a Twitter spree Thursday evening about his role on the show and how it was coming to a close.
He added several jokes to an old tweet from January 11 showing his character Carl get carried away from a burning house by Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira).
Riggs homed in on the image and started giving it different, humorous captions comparing the look on his character's face to video gameplay and music software.
But it was one tweet that stood out.
Tucked in among the rest, it reads, "When u spend like 3 years in the apocalypse but die bc you tripped and fell."
If the joke is lost upon you, you may want to go back and rewatch parts of season eight. In the midseason finale, it was revealed that Carl was bitten by a walker on his stomach, and there's no coming back from that.
If, like many, you were wondering when this occurred, you can when it happened on-screen in season eight's sixth episode. While helping his new pal Siddiq kill walkers in the woods, Carl trips, stumbles, and falls. A few of the undead fall atop him, and he gets bit. You don't directly see it on-screen, but you can see Carl wince in a few frames of a scene.
(You can read our full breakdown of the scene here.)
Riggs has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that he'll be killed off the show when it returns from its winter hiatus. The death came as a huge surprise since the show had broadly followed the arc of the comics, where Carl is still very much alive long after the latest events from the TV show.
Is Riggs sending a bitter message AMC's way about his impending departure?
Maybe. But it's doubtful.
If you follow Riggs on social media, the 18-year-old actor and musician likes poking fun at the show.
The vocal teen has never been one to shy away from calling out the series on social media when it makes a silly error in a tweet or at poking fun at his character's faults.
Many fans saw Riggs' dig at the show as a lighthearted jab even though it made them sad.
Others showed their frustration with how his character's arc is coming to a close and saw it as the actor throwing shade at the show.
Riggs' father, William Riggs, showed frustration back in November with the way his son was leaving the show. After the show's midseason finale aired, he put the show on blast in a since-deleted post to Facebook.
"Watching Gimple fire my son 2 weeks before his 18th birthday after telling him they wanted him for the next 3 years was disappointing," the elder Riggs wrote in the now-deleted Facebook message. "I never trusted Gimple or AMC, but Chandler did. I know how much it hurt him. But we do absolutely know how lucky we have been to be a part of it all and appreciate all the love from fans all these years!"
Riggs has made it clear to fans that while he's sad to be leaving the show he grew up on, he's extremely proud of his final work.
Before the latest midseason finale, Riggs reached out to the spoiler site The Spoiling Dead and ask it not to spoil his character's impending death.
"I poured my heart into a couple of episodes this season, and 808 is one of them," he wrote to the site. "I'm so proud of my performance and a lot of it rides off of a surprise ending. The integrity of what happens is pretty crucial to my performance throughout the rest of the episode and I'd really appreciate it if you all would hold back just this one time."
Riggs recently cut his hair, is working on a movie, and has been putting out his own music, which you can listen to here.
Carl's final appearance on "The Walking Dead" is set for February 25, when the show returns for its final eight episodes of the season.
