funny tweets

It's the freakin' weekend and you know what that means—time to kill precious free time by compulsively scouring the internet for hilarious memes. You're in luck though, because we've done half the work for you by curating this spicy batch of relatable memes and tweets full of mildly self-deprecating humor. So if you're feeling extra lazy, this collection is right up your alley. 

When I want memes in my arms
When I want memes and all their charms
Whenever I want memes
All I have to do is meme
meme, meme, meme

When I feel blue in the night
And I need memes to hold me tight
Whenever I want memes
All I have to do is meme

Picture this. You've moved on from your crappy ex. Maybe they lied and cheated. Maybe they were emotionally unavailable. Maybe they were a lazy mooch. Whatever the case, you're not friends. Now imagine that you receive a text from this reviled former lover. The text reads "I'm dating someone better than you." Personally, a message like that would probably result in an instant block. But Twitter user @EvaRebeca5 asked her followers to come up with their best 3 word comebacks to the unnecessary (and somewhat hurtful) hypothetical text messages. The responses are both hilarious and spicy, a primo exercise for anyone who has pretend arguments with their shampoo bottles in the shower. Though might not have the guts to put our ex in their place, we have nothing but respect for these people who brought the heat. We've put some of our favorite responses into this gallery, but there's loads more where these came from. 

It is said that variety is the spice of life, and we're in agreement. That's why this collection of memes has a little bit of everything. There are some history memes for the buffs, a few philosophy memes for the thinkers, and then some of the more generally funny & relatable memes that everyone loves so much. Happy scrolling! 

Everyone's favorite sinister fashionista is back in the live-action form of Emma Stone as Cruella De Vil. This isn't the first time Disney has turned one of its classic evil villains into a feature-length origin story. In 2014, Disney portrayed Maleficent's wicked fairy queen of the moors as a tragic figure rather than the 'Mistress of All Evil' we remember her as in Sleeping Beauty (1959). For many, the humanizing depiction of Maleficent was refreshing—especially after decades of tired character tropes from Disney giving us the same old formula: the evil witch, the meek young princess, and her dashing man-savior. But in light of the new Cruella trailer, it seems like the same enthusiasm isn't being extended to this particular villain. I mean, the character literally kills puppies—do we even want to know that origin story?

One common pre-emptive criticism of Cruella is that the trailer hints at a 'jokerfied' character arc. It's hard to imagine young Cruella as an Arthur Fleck—a distinctly anti-social man who grew up in poverty—but hey! Anything can happen in fiction, baby. Others have compared Emma Stone's Cruella to Harley Quinn, which makes some sense when weighing their basic aesthetic similarities, but otherwise they don't have a whole lot in common as characters. Harley Quinn broke into Gotham Zoo to free the hyenas, whereas Cruella De Vil probably wouldn't set foot in a zoo unless it was to shop for a new coat. Does Cruella fit the Joker archetype of outcast scorned by 'society,' or is she just a dog-hating psycho? I guess we'll find out when the movie is released this May. For now, we've collected some pretty amusing reactions to the new trailer. 

If you've ever spent time on social media, you're probably aware of the existence of "Reply Guys." The term refers to men who go out of their way to reply (unsolicited) to women's tweets or slide into dms with comments that are generally very inappropriate and very horny. While we're sure these messages are generally disturbing and annoying to recipients, we have to admit that the cringey ballsiness of the senders is incredibly entertaining. Twitter account @guyinthereply has set out to document these creepy messages, and their archive is filled with pure gold. We've put together some of the more tame examples but you can visit their twitter for the stuff that is decidedly NSFW. 

There are few things in this life that are better than the novelty Instagram account Middle Class Fancy - it's full of anything a middle-class, middle-aged, suburban person could ever dream of. Don't believe us? Then just scroll down to see for yourself. And of course, check out MCF's official Instagram page, duh.

We all know that hindsight is 20/20. That definitely applies to the year 2020, too. But today we're talking about a special kind of hindsight and regret. We've all seen that tweet from Hillary Clinton where she says "Happy birthday to this future President." Well, things didn't really go as planned. Today we're here to cover some of the regretful and poorly aged posts that you may not have seen plastered over the internet. You know, posts regarding the horrendous winter storm that struck America's heartland this week. Or, perhaps, posts that deal with some woefully ignorant Bitcoin owners who sold themselves short years ago.

Most of these regrettable situations and posts are pretty harmless. But they're a great reminder that you really need to try to think to the future before getting your hopes up - or your hopes lost. One thing's for sure, it always helps to laugh through the pain. 

Happy hump day! The week is almost halfway over but we still get to do whatever the f**k we want! Okay, not really. We can't exactly party with friends or go see a new movie or anything else that involves large crowds. You know what we can do, though? Look at all the memes. We've got just the dank collection to start you off on your epic scrolling adventure. And when you're done with this hilarious batch, we've got even more content here and here. Bon voyage! 

Hello, internet friends. Did you miss us? Well you can stop crying, because we're back with another dank offering of dumb memes, pics, tweets, and screenshots for all the meme-lovers out there. Curl up with a nice cup of tea and get ready to scroll, because there's a wealth of funny content coming your way.

In the age of online dating, sliding into DMs, and social distancing, romantic pursuit is looking more like a casual 'wyd' text and less like the elaborate, tenacious courtships we grew up marveling at in Hollywood movies. Not that there's anything wrong with a more straightforward, no-bullshit approach to flirting—the concept of dating lots of different people throughout one's adulthood is much more socially accepted now than it used to be. And as the social conditions change over time, it's only natural that our behavior should change accordingly. The problem is, we're complicated, overthinking humans. We still have to reconcile the realities of modern dating with desire, fantasy, and unrealistic expectations. In 1960, French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan said of love and desire, 'imagine you see in front of you a beautiful flower, or a ripe fruit. You reach out your hand to grab it. But at the moment you do, the flower, or the fruit, bursts into flames. In its place you see another hand appear, reaching back towards your own.' Lacan believed that desire is produced in the margin between one's appetite for satisfaction and the demand for love. He theorized that desire isn't exactly innate—desire is actually mediated by the desire of the 'Other.' And what does this big Other desire? Well if we knew that, then our desire burst into flame like Lacan's beautiful flower. Because it's the very recognition of the object of desire that we lack and therefore seek. Our desire is like an empty vessel that constantly gets filled with the desire of the Other, always changing as the socio-cultural context changes. And so it makes sense then that millennials are unsatisfied with certain normalized social behaviors that have been shaped by new social conditions. Reality is at odds with what we are made to desire—an idealized version of reality that fiction routinely implants into us.

We're featuring a viral Twitter meme that very succinctly illustrates this age-old problem of expectation vs. reality. The meme cleverly takes that familiar 'wyd' text (which is comically concise and yet loaded with implications) and juxtaposes it with absurdly theatrical shows of concern from well-known romcom scenes, television dialogue, and corny song lyrics. It's always 'wyd' and never 'but, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?' It's always 'wyd' and never 'you had me at hello.' It's always 'wyd' and never 'you're like my own personal brand of heroin.' Get it?

Perhaps the best thing about this meme is the level of self-awareness it reveals about the poster. Those tweeting the meme are simultaneously admitting their desire for a vague, idealized version of romance and making fun of themselves for it, which becomes evident in the more absurd tweets. One of the funniest examples of this meme is perhaps the one that uses Anakin Skywalker's infamous line in Star Wars: Episode II—"It's always 'wyd' and never 'I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.'" The notoriously cringey scene was supposed to represent a romantic, intimate turning point in the characters' relationship. Instead it feels more like a terribly awkward Tinder date that would have had a real-life Padme running in the other direction. The decision to insert this line into the meme turns it into a hilarious mockery of its original sentiment. We've collected some of the funniest examples of the trending Twitter meme for your amusement.

Was "reading more" one of your failed New Year's resolutions? Well, we're going to let you in on a little secret: you don't have to buy books to indulge in the creativity of wordsmiths. Turns out that you can consume clever witticisms all over the internet. You just have to know where to look. Fortunately, the subreddit r/brandnewsentence makes that mission a little easier. It's a veritable hub of quirky writing that's been harvested from Twitter, Tumblr, and even the dreaded hellscape that is Facebook. We've put together some of their finest examples of creative writing, but there's loads more where these came from. Hell, they may even inspire you to get a little more funky with your own posts. Go crazy. We're here for a good time, not a boring time.

Happy Tuesday, y'all. For people who had the fortune of having President's Day off, today feels like a dreary Monday. For everyone else - employed or not - it feels like, well, a dreary Tuesday. Instead of languishing in the doldrums, we recommend seeking some mood-elevating activities. While such activities are up for interpretation, we've put together these memes and tweets so you don't have to think much about it. You can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the stupidity.

Sometimes it feels like it's all too much. All the outside noise, societal pressure, scary things happening in the world. It can feel as though there's no quiet place to rest your head. When this happens, it's good to sit down and do something you love. For some people this might mean cooking some chicken soup for the soul, but for us, it's the perfect time to scroll through some memes. Memes and tweets like the ones in this here gallery.
