Has the SNP said what it would do in a hung parliament? I'm guessing demand another referendum in return for confidence and supply support.

So if May is forced out, she won't even have served a year as PM. Not as bad as George Canning, but awfully close.

Tories went from the majority party to a much weaker majority in a hung parlament. Memes aside the idea of some huge Labour sweep would have been absurdly out of reach, it's the best realistic option and it completely crushes any idea of a mandate May and hers may have.

Also it rules because this whole thing was her idea and she's almost certainly gonna be pushed resign.

dumb Tories holding unnecessary votes that blow up in their faces and cause them (personally) the PM is a good running gag

Ok, so I'm the dumb American, but how are these numbers good news? I have a very poor understanding of how the UK parliament works

When May called the snap election it was widely presumed the tories would sail to an even larger majority than they had at that point, and would be in position to basically dictate how Brexit would be handled among other things (like, say, using the children of the poor as cordwood to heat the saunas of the rich). Labour was thought to be in disarray and certain to lose seats, until they put out their manifesto which turns out a lot of people like, all while the tories punched themselves in the dick over and over again.

The Tories wanted / expected a bigger majority but on this poll they wil lose control of Parliament --> Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister.

300-something is the majority number, and Labour don't meet that with just the SNP as was hoped before the election. The hope is that Labour take more seats off the Tories and LibDems throughout the night. Otherwise yeah, the Queen will give the Tories a chance at coalition, and the LibDems will be traitors.

It probably was the more important element, but I don't think we should downplay how jam man actually made an effort to put forward a platform that his base would, you know, like.
