funny tweets

Another day, another dollar. Sometimes it really does feel like we're all working our whole lives away. Whether you're working from home, in an office, at a bar, driving drunk people around, in a grocery store—it's essentially all the same sh*t if you think about it. Just a dull, thankless hell making more wealth for the big boss as the bills and debt pile up. Well you know what, there's one thing they can't take from us: memes. Scroll on the clock or text 'em to your coworkers. Hell, maybe even take it to the next level and make some work memes of your own in those moments where you've just had enough. 

In the words of Dolly Parton, "9 to 5! For service and devotion, you would think that I would deserve a fair promotion. Want to move ahead, but the boss won't seem to let me. I swear sometimes that man is out to get me."

TikTok from the outside appears to be a pretty insular online community with a chaotic method of delivering content that is daunting to inexperienced users. Because of this, many stay on the outside and make up their minds about the app, but we'd argue that these people might be missing out on one of the most interesting parts of TikTok—the comments. This shouldn't be a big surprise, since we all know you can always find gold in the YouTube comments, for example. The comments are also an interesting insight into what's going on in the minds of Gen Z—though all ages use the app, almost half of the users are under the age of 24. 

Since June, Twitter account @commentsooc has been doing a great job documenting some of the best of TikTok's comments. If you're interested in taking a look into this world but are too scared of the app, you've come the the right place.

A vintage photo of Jeopardy host Alex Trebek inspired some hilarious reactions on Twitter earlier this month. The image, which features a young Trebek looking like a Soul Train dancer, quickly became the butt of many jokes - and the object of many users affection. Black Twitter was nearly unanimous in recognizing the smooth-looking young trivia host as an African American man - or, at the very, least, an alter ego of Hall and Oates' John Oates. We've put together a ton of the best responses, but for more you can head over to the Facebook post that catalogued 'em all. 

Cicadas are weird creatures. While most species emerge annually, there are some special species in the US that dwell underground for 13 or 17 years before coming up to mate. These groups of the insects are referred to as "broods," and there are a whole lot of them. So many of them hatch at once (to ensure a number survive) that their emergence is actually being picked up by weather radars.

While the insects are harmless, there are a lot of people who would rather they stay in the ground. They're loud. They squirt. And they're bad for your pets. Unfortunately for the cicada haters in the Eastern United States, Brood X is here, and they're not shy. The billion bug brood has even played a hand in pestering the President and delayed the White Housepress plane ahead of Biden's first foreign trip. To some people, the hubbub may seem ridiculous - but one way we're enjoying this entomological event is through memes and tweets. For the next few weeks there are bound to be a lot of 'em, but we've put together our favorites right here for some easy scrolling. 

Some people say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. The adage has actually inspired a ton of memes. We're more inclined to say that memes themselves are a better cure for what ails you. Depressed? Memes can be a reminder that you're not alone. Bored? Scrolling through funny tweets is a pretty accessible way to pass time. And if you're looking to shirk responsibilities during a soul-sucking workday? They've definitely got your back. And so does this gallery filled with the magical healing humor of memes.

We all know people who spend too much time talking about themselves. Sometimes they're blatant in their braggadocios tendencies - name dropping gushing about their accomplishments. Other times, their self-adulation comes in a more sneaky form: the humblebrag. 

Humble brags are definitely obnoxious to experience in real life. But thanks to the advent of the Internet, we are now inundated with coyly self-congratulatory posts on social media. The painful and eyeroll worthy posts, while grating, can be truly wonderful to marvel at. We can't help but be fascinated by minds of people who spout self-praise. There's even a subreddit dedicated to this tone-deaf behavior. We've gathered some of the best humblebrags of the last year for your hate-scrolling pleasure. If you need more? Join r/humblebrag. You won't regret it.

Bachelor producers dropped a huge bomb on fans when they announced that not one, but two of the contestants who had vied for Matt James' heart were chosen to be Bachelorette. Bachelor Nation was thrilled that the world would be able to see both Katie Thurston and Michelle Young go through their own public searches for love. Thurston's season premiered last night, and the two hours of insanity definitely lived up to her own wild entrance.

For those of you who may not remember, Katie was the contestant who marched up to Matt James and presented him with her vibrator, saying that she wanted him to take the place of her trusty quarantine companion. While Bachelor has been slowly ramping things up in the sex department (Windmill sex, anyone?) this was probably the most forwardly sexual entrance we've seen yet. That sex positivity has clearly carried over to Katie's season.

During the episode, Katie was very explicit in her desire for a partner who doesn't shy away from sex stuff - even adding that her family would be hard pressed to approve of a suitor who's shy about entering the bedroom. Judging by the episode's introductions, this attitude (and her vibrator stunt) influenced a lot of men to get incredibly dirty with their greetings. One contestant, Cody, even tried to one-up Thurston by presenting her with a blow-up doll, explaining that it was his answer to her vibrator.

For all the sexy talk, many fans on Twitter expressed confusion (and delight) that producers decided to stir the pot by throwing a conservative virgin into the mix. But that wasn't the only aspect of the show that got meme'd. Other goofy contestants got the meme treatment as well. While some were mocked (Connor, the wholesome math teacher who spent the evening in a cat suit), Greg Grippo seems to have stolen the hearts of Bachelor Nation's Twitter contingent. Greg, the youngest of four children, presented Katie with a very special gift - a pasta necklace made by his three-year-old niece. He was rewarded with a very aggressive makeout session. Maybe this is an instance in which the nice guy finishes first? Whatever his fate, all we know is that the craziness got us pretty pumped for next week's episode and the inevitable drama. These memes and reactions might get you pumped, too. 

These days it seems like convenience is at the forefront of literally everything. Instead of taking a nice stroll to the market, there are apps that will have a person do your shopping for you. Instead of patronizing local markets for a gift for someone special, many of us turn to Amazon, Etsy, or ebay. When was the last time you actually set foot in a bookstore instead of reading on your phone or pressing the convenient "Buy Now" button? While it's true that these changes have led to missing out on the journey, we don't think it's bad to cut corners when it comes to indulging in memes.Why scroll through Reddit when we can just provide you with a big ol' batch of the entertainment you crave?

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. 

Comebacks are really their own art form. It takes a lot of quick wit and creativity to think of the perfect way to roast someone, after all. So scroll down for some clever roasts and insults, and then click here for more!

Aging sucks for a lot of reasons. Having to pay bills. Work 40 hours a week. Take care of a family. You get wrinkles, grey hair, and probably some annoying memory loss to boot. Names become harder to remember, memories begin to mix together. You know who doesn't have to worry about that? Kids. Kids have the most incredible memories, often at the disadvantage of their weary parents. Twitter user @toddedillard shared one such instance of obnoxiously vivid memory yesterday. It seems that two years ago he burned a single side of his daughter's quesadilla, and she refuses to let him live it down. The tweet inspired other parents to share their own struggles with their kids' impeccable recollection skills. While it must be frustrating to have your child constantly wielding "the receipts," these anecdotes are pretty damn entertaining.
