funny tweets

There are many reasons people turn to memes. Sometimes it's because we're in the middle of a seemingly unending scroll session, avoiding reality. Other times it's because we need a little pick-me-up. The fact is that we don't think it's necessary to find an excuse to enjoy funny memes and tweets. The internet is your oyster and everyone should be able to indulge in its humorous rewards. Hopefully galleries like this make that indulgence a little easier. 

If you're in the mood for a big ol' mix of memes and other funny internet gems, you came to the right place because that's exactly what we've got. Memes that range from dank to straight up dumb. Get ready to scroll!

Adulthood can really suck, but at least we're good at repressing the urge to scream and cry whenever we don't get what we want. That's more than we can say for our younger, dumber selves. And if you're a parent, you get to bottle up your pain while tending to the irrational urges of a tiny version of you! For those of us who aren't blessed with little chaotic creatures of our own, we can always get vicarious amusement through parents who share their funny anecdotes online. We've gathered a bunch of entertaining tidbits that reminded us of how dumb we were when we were kids.

Eccentric pop star Grimes never fails to perplex the internet, and this time everyone's talking about her new 'alien scars' tattoo. This week Grimes posted a picture showing off her full back tat—an unusual symmetrical design made to look like scars using white ink. Though most of her fans were supportive and impressed, a good handful people on the dubious side reacted with roasts and memes. And since we're all about the memes around these parts, that's what we'll be focusing on. Though we respect the pop icon's right to do whatever the hell she wants to her own body, we love a good spicy meme that pokes fun at a celebrity. Keep scrolling for some of our favorite funny Twitter reactions to Grimes' alien scars. 

This pandemic and working from home have taken our laziness to the next level. Walking to the grocery store? Too much effort. Better order delivery. Doing laundry? Folding clothing is excruciating. Better have it picked up and taken care of by the laundromat. There are slothful shortcuts for nearly every level of task or activity - even consuming memes. That's right, instead of scouring the internet for slightly funny images, you can indulge in them right here, in one convenient gallery. 

The North remembers what happened at the red wedding, and Game of Thrones fans remember what happened in Season 8. It's been a decade since the HBO series first hooked millions of viewers, edging devoted fans with season after season of multi-layered storylines and cliff-hangers, all culminating in an underwhelming final season that felt like someone hastily sweeping dust under a rug. It's no surprise that GoT fans felt personally insulted after @GameOfThrones tweeted 'Winter is coming,' a famous line that was once heavy with the promise of an epic conclusion to the dramatic fantasy series. Game of Thrones faded out of the zeitgeist pretty quickly after that final episode, and yet even two years later, the fans are still bitter. Keep scrolling for a handful of the most amusing spicy responses to @GameOfThrones's triggering tweet. 

Well, we've got a new candidate for Time's person of the year. Or at least the badassof the year. We just don't know their identity. 

In a move that can be described as "sick," "dope," and "really f*cking cool," an impatient driver in Daytona Beach, Florida, decided to take a risk and drive over a rising drawbridge instead of waiting with all the sheep who would prefer to abide by the law. The spectacle was caught on camera, and seriously looks like something out of an action movie.

While we were hoping this daredevil would come out of this scot-free, the stunt was not well-received by police, who believe they've identified our new hero. Though this may be the most talked about instance of Evel Knievel-ry, it seems like jumping over drawbridges is a "Florida Man" trait. A motorcyclist made the dramatic leap last month, and we've even seen footage of a dude running over a bridge with JUST HIS FEET. It's true that these shows of cojones are dangerous and sometimes deadly, so while we're celebrating this instance of success, we must urge you not to try this yourself. Thanks to the videos below, you can enjoy the thrill (and some entertaining reactions) from home. 

Sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed and everything is just downhill from there. You oversleep, your boss yells at you, you stub your toe and then to round it all off your grandma died. If you want to feel the slightest bit better about yourself, just take a gander at these people, who may or may not be having a worse day than you.

Humans love to throw around generalizations about the unspoken rules of dating etiquette, but when it really comes down to it, each and every relationship comes with its own little nuances and boundaries. I'm sure you've heard it a million times, so forgive the platitude, but communication really is key. Texting etiquette can be a tricky one, because unlike having a conversation in person, texting makes it possible to communicate something anytime, anywhere, to anyone who may or may not be able to receive the message at the time. This can quickly become a problem of (literal) miscommunication if the texter is putting themselves out there in a moment of peak vulnerability. The silence becomes loaded with uncertainty and maddening possibilities. For some, this can be too much to bear—I wonder what they're doing? Are they ignoring me on purpose? Surely they'd text back right away if they were actually interested. I guess they're not interested. Maybe I'll ignore them and see how they like it. For those on the other side of this anxiety, there are a million reasons why they might not be able to text back right away, the most obvious one being that people are simply busy. If someone's a serial offender of the late text, sure, it could mean that they're inconsiderate or even disinterested, or it could mean that they suffer from ADHD, or maybe they're a luddite who hates phones. The point is, there's no blanket rule for this sort of thing, which is proven in the fact that individual opinions vastly differ on the topic. This brings us to @Arii__876, who provoked an interesting discussion on the nuances of texting after she tweeted a pretty hot take claiming that nobody forgets to text someone back if they're genuinely interested in them. We've gathered a range of responses full of amusing insight on different approaches to maintaining relationships. 

If you're looking for a reminder that there are a whole lot of weirdos in this world, look no further. Twitter user @NateIsBack2 has managed to round up some seriously insane stories after asking his followers to share the most awkward dates they've ever been on. While some of these recollections definitely fall into that category, other are straight up bone chilling and creepy. Especially the unexpected response from actress Patricia Arquette. On the bright side, the horror stories are a great reminder that you should really vet your date before committing to a night out or a relationship. 

Congratulations. You've made it across the treacherous and soul-sucking hump day mountain—an underrated achievement, in our opinion. It all gets easier from here. But if the promise of a relaxing weekend isn't quite enough to get you through the next couple work days, maybe these hilarious memes and tweets can curb the pain of monotony a bit. Scroll along, internet friends.

As Wednesday comes to a close, and we welcome the more optimistic half of the week, we want to provide you with ample procrastination material. For us, and maybe for you, that includes plenty of memes and tweets. While looking at funny pictures won't fast-forward time it, the activity (distraction?) probably (maybe?) has some positive effects on your brain. 

If you've ever intimately known the thankless hell that is retail work, this collection of memes and tweets about grueling shift work for low wages will grind your gears like the gears of Capitalism grind the hopes and dreams of the working class. Whether you're taking a shit on company time or looking for a quick distraction on your lunch break, we've got some painfully relatable memes to help you through. 

White Claw is getting a boozy makeover with its newest hard seltzer 'Surge' and the news has many reminiscing about the original Four Loko, notorious for its chaotic recipe consisting of taurine, guarana, caffeine and at one point, wormwood. The caffeinated iteration of the fabled 'premium malt beverage' was discontinued in 2010 after a series of Four Loko related deaths and accidents, but that hasn't stopped Twitter from expressing tongue-in-cheek nostalgia for those Loko nights of yore. Many are drawing comparisons between the infamous malt beverage and White Claw, which has even roused some hot takes from the Four Loko Twitter account. Whether you've got a taste for the sauce or you're a curious tea totaler, the fact that beverage news has triggered such an impassioned response is pretty amusing in itself. 

We all wish we could be ultra productive members of society with godlike strength and boundless energy, but alas, we're only human. And many of us on the lazier side of the spectrum require breaks throughout the day filled with mindless procrastination-fodder. If you're nodding your head in enthusiastic agreement right now, then you'll be absolutely stoked for what's about to come. Yeah, that's right. Memes. 

Language and memes have a lot in common if you think about it. They're both important communication tools. Both are ever-changing foundations of contemporary culture. Both often require some context to better understand their nuances. It makes total sense that a linguist might be interested in image macros. Memes sort of function as a writing system used to tell stories—like 21st century hieroglyphics. If you're into both memes and linguistics, this batch of wordy memes about the quirks of language might be right up your alley.
