comedy

With all the chaos going on in the world, Twitter can be especially exhausting these days. It's like an endless river of bitterness and anger. But once in a while, if you manage to escape the current and rest along the bank, you can come across a heartwarming picture of a cat, or a dumb dad joke, or that clever quip you wish you'd thought of first. We can't get enough of those funny tweets that don't demand a lot brain energy. Hopefully this compilation of Twitter winners will fill your day with good vibes.

It takes a savvy comic mind to pack a quality joke into Twitter's 280 character limit. Not everyone's got the chops. Their one-liners fall flat. Their tweets smack of try-hard desperation.

Since last week, Twitter users have been imagining what would happen if their cards were declined at therapy, or (even worse) during surgery. The responses, which are generally outlandish, make for some solid comedy and just a few nightmarish scenarios. Here are our favorites.
