When it comes to this here tag of Funny Tweets, it consists of any attempt on Twitter at comedy, without the necessary qualifier of succeeding. We also keep a list of top funny tweets that might be more along the lines of what you're looking for if you want actual funny tweets.
We don't want to come at people too harshly for getting wooshed by ambiguous jokes or falling for a fake headline that sounds like it could be totally real, but everyone should know what The Onion is by now. Most satirical news publications these days have the words satire, or fake, or not real news written somewhere to make the joke totally fool-proof. Well, never underestimate a fool.
We've got a bunch of great examples of times people fell for satire and 'ate the onion,' so to speak.
TGIF, friends and meme-lovers. We're back with another super-sized batch of memes, curated specifically for your convenient consumption. Offering up dumb memes. Clever tweets. Lots of depressingly relatable content, and, of course, memes for people who seriously hate their jobs. Coming from people who collect memes for a living, it doesn't matter if you're looking at funny crap all day. Jobs just suck. So if you're at work, enjoy this break. And if you're not? Hell, you'll enjoy it even more.
These memes and tweets are seriously helping us forget that it's already the end of September and both fall and Seasonal Affective Disorder are completely and atrociously imminent. If we're going to have to stay inside for the next 6 months, we're going to do it with memes.
Clowns have been having quite the moment over the past few years. "Jokerfied" has become a verb. Thousands of women have been Harley Quinn for Halloween. It had a new opportunity to become a household name. Despite all these prominent media moments, we (as a society) are overlooking the biggest clowns of all: ourselves.
That's right. Somehow, the human race has managed to make jesters of themselves on a day-to-day basis. Whether it's convincing yourself that you matter to your corporate overlords, or if you've convinced yourself that you can change your toxic partner, we're constantly subconsciously donning giant shoes and making a mockery of ourselves by playing dumb. But we're not alone. Pretty much every living, breathing human with an ounce of empathy, heart, or soul has themselves up for clownish disappointment. And boy, are there a ton of memes out there that reflect just that.
We all have to go to work to pay the bills in order to just survive - unless you're a trust-fund baby who inherited millions from your rich uncle (in which case get out of here). Just kidding, you can stay if you want to see how the rest of us plebes live.

The internet is brimming with examples of bullshitters who state opinion as fact, make unwarranted declarations about their authority on a subject, and make up ridiculous rules about who has the right to enjoy or experience specific things. These people are called gatekeepers. The annoying gatekeeper is also known for putting others down for not suffering enough to warrant feeling unhappy with a shitty situation. Like if you're venting to someone about being exhausted after a 40-hour work week and they just mock you for not having worked 70 hours like them. r/gatekeeping is a good document of people who won't get off their high horse, even after someone points out that their horse is just a withered cardboard box.
We've got a bunch of cringey and eye-roll inducing examples of groundless gatekeeping thanks to all the avid screenshotters out there.
We do a lot of Twitter roundups here at Memebase. The site is absolutely brimming with clever witticisms from extremely funny writers and comedians. Though it is satisfying to parse through consistent collections of fresh tweets, sometimes we wish there was a Twitter time capsule that allowed us to revisit some of the best the site's ever had to offer. Fortunately for us, Twitter user @awkwardduck pretty much created such a time capsule when she asked her followers to share the best tweets they'd ever seen on the bird app. The results? Absolutely amazing. The thread is basically an unending walk down hilarious tweet memory lane. We've put together some of our favorites below, but if you want more (and naughtier) tweets, take a look at the thread yourself. You wont regret it.
Comedian, Dancer and former Vine superstar Casey Frey was recently a guest on the Theo Von podcast, where he casually mentioned his boyfriend at one point during the interview. The clip has spread far and wide across social media, as the young comedian's sexuality has apparently been somewhat of a mystery to many of his fans, up until now at least. Many on Twitter are not surprised in the slightest—in fact, some have taken the opportunity to drag anyone who is surprised that Casey Frey is bi. News about the Vine legend couldn't have come at a better time—this is the best pride month twist ever. Keep scrolling for some of the funniest Twitter reactions to the Casey Frey tea.
Another day, another terrible Twitter take. The state of how we work has been a major topic of discussion as the world attempts to return to normalcy as Covid-19 seems to be less of a threat for many countries. There have been many think-pieces and Twitter threads about working remotely and fair wages. Then there was the revelation that people would rather quit their jobs than go back to the office. People are starting to question how much of our lives are devoted to work. Which is healthy. Time is precious. We need money, but should we be grinding ourselves to death for it? Or spending 10 hours a week commuting? We don't think so.
There are, of course, opponents of this radical way of thinking. There are CEOs who are eager to pull the plug on remote work - and the BBC is reporting that the five-day workweek will be re-normalized by 2022. But one person thinks that five days is not enough. Twitter user and venture capitalist (Principal at Atomic) Jordan Kong stoked the ire of a lot of people this past weekend when she tweeted her thoughts on young people trying to work on their careers.
Unpopular opinion: the best thing young people can do early in their careers is to work on the weekends.

The sentiment - which seems a little dehumanizing - was not received well. Proponents of balance and "working to live" were quick to share their opposition. Incredulous people shared some roasty zingers. And then, of course, the funny people of Twitter turned the tweet into a snowclone, with some memes showing their disdain for the take and others using it to make jokes filled with pop culture references. Though we're sure some people will disagree, it's nice to see some people standing up for our right to not work. Even if they're doing it through memes.

Some of us may not want to remember the dumb things we would do as children. Whether it was peeing into the vents of the family home (Sorry, mom) or harboring the thought that women don't poop, kids really are apt to doing (and thinking) the darndest things.
