In what can only been seen as peak late stage capitalism, Planters announced today on Twitter that their mascot Mr. Peanut has died in an act of heroic sacrifice. According to a pre-Super Bowl advertisement, the beloved monocled peanut passed while saving two friends from a terrifying car wreck.
According to a press release, the company will be broadcasting Mr. Peanut's funeral during the third quarter of the Super Bowl. Twitter users are reacting to this "news" with a mixture of grief, puns, memes and outrage. The outrage comes from people who think it's absolutely insane that advertising has stopped to the level of "killing" fictional characters before the most profitable advertising event in the country. We're inclined to agree, but some of these jokes (particularly the ones regarding peanut allergies) are too good for us to ignore.
Interviewing for jobs is like a full-time job in and of itself. And honestly, way more stressful. The pressure, the anxiety, the sweating, the fear of eye contact. Wait -- that's not your experience? Whatever your interviewing habits, we're sure they haven't all been positive. Twitter user Harriet Williamson had that same hunch. She asked her followers to share their worst-ever job interview stories, and boy are some of them wild. They almost rival the weird date tweets we talked about earlier this week. Most of all, we hope none of this stuff happens to us.
If you're default humor is self-deprecating, these memes are for you. They're depressing, they're funny, and they're relatable as hell. Just promise us one thing: try not to be so down all the time. It's okay to be nice to ones self every now and then!
Families are almost always dysfunctional as is, and when you spend enough time around the same people, emotions can run haywire. Jimmy Fallon asked Twitter about the most moronic fights they've ever been in with their families, and they did not disappoint. If you're a weird one and you feel like you need even more family-related content, click here for some memes!
Is it just me, or are attention spans getting shorter? I can barely make it through an episode of Law and Order: SVU without zoning into the abyss of my smartphone. It takes me hours to do 30 minutes of cleaning because I get distracted and end up trying on my weirdly large selection of wigs. Fortunately, social media is more than able to appeal to this ADD nature, and Twitter definitely shines in this area. The character limit results in short and sweet nuggets of 280 character gold. Which we think pretty much anyone will have the capability to consume these
Life got you down? Boss causing you problems? Relationship in the pits? There's no better way to combat these feelings than by perusing some extremely dumb and time-wasting memes. Whether weird comics are your thing or relatable shitposts, this gallery has got something in it for everyone.
After the great Mandalorian-inspired Baby Yoda Craze of 2019/2020, we've been waiting for the next "baby" character blow up. And for better or for worse, it's here. 3D artist and and designer Leonard Viti shared some images of his 'Baby Jabba' rendering on Instagram this week, and they've gone completely viral on Twitter and beyond. The thing is, not everyone stans Baby Jabba the way they go gaga for Baby Yoda. The cutesy widdle version of the famed Star Wars villain has some people wondering "Why?" and others making some less than complimentary comparisons. We have to say we agree with them. It's hard to beat the cutest part of The Mandalorian, but we're enjoying the tweets all the same.
Dating, especially in the age of the internet and hookup apps, can lead to some seriously entertaining stories. Meeting up with someone from Tinder or Bumble involves a whole lot of unknowns. You're really taking a risk that you'll have a bad time, a weird time, or in the worst case scenario, a dangerous time. Twitter user @postgrad_barty started an entire thread of these kinds of experiences on Saturday - and the stories are nothing short of a wild ride. They might even make your dating life seem normal.
