jokes

Greetings, internet friends. We're back with an exciting array of random memes for anyone who needs 'em. As much as we love a good, wholesome funny cat meme as much as the next meme connoisseur, sometimes we like a bit of edge with our humor. This spicy collection of content is full of jokes ranging from relatable to kinda twisted, and we're here for it.

Isn't it funny how every online community consisting of thousands of strangers inevitably gets a bad reputation for its own special reason? Everyone outside of 4chan thinks it's all incels and fascists. Everyone outside of Tumblr thinks it's all performatively woke zoomers. Everyone outside of Twitter thinks it's a bunch of internet-famous people canceling each other. Of course, there's usually some truth to generalizations about social networks, but it's not the full picture. Sure, Twitter can feel like a joyless hellscape of toxic posting and over-sharing, but the good bits are still there, we promise. To prove it, we've collected a bunch of our favorite recent witty tweets that are pretty stress-free and pleasing to read. 

Tony Soprano is one of the most beloved complicated characters in television history. The burly mob boss brought a ton of humanity to a role that could easily be a caricature. In a huge departure from old school TV drama, Tony's damaged psyche is a Sopranos character in and of itself. He struggles with anxiety and depression - and not just the symptoms. The perceived weakness of mental illness is antithetical to the machismo of made men. None of this is news. In fact, Soprano's flaws, and James Gandolfini's masterful portrayal of them, are widely celebrated 20 years after the show first aired. Less celebrated? Tony Soprano's fatherly side.  

Thanks to a thread from Miles Klee, however, we've been reminded that Tony's more than just an angsty gabbagool guzzling mob boss. He's a husband and a father of two, and there are some moments that really reflect that side of his character. From classic sprinkles of dad humor, to sweet little moments with AJ, there are plenty of instances where Tony reminds us of our own fathers, or our friends fathers, or just a goofy middle-aged man who's sense of humor has gone down a seemingly inevitable corny road. 

Being plugged in all the time can feel exhausting. Especially when you scour the internet for content for 40+ hours a week. The number of hours I've spent being systematically poisoned by TikTok are staggering. I have to delete Instagram daily to regain some semblance of real-life sanity. After the work is done, there's one exception to my "unplugging" ritual - and that's Twitter. For all the political diatribes and thirst traps, there's hundreds of hilarious tweets and memes being pumped out every hour. Sure, some of the jokes are recycled as hell, but a lot of them are clever jokes based on current events and relatable experiences. Instead of making me want to throw my phone against the wall, the witticisms of the best minds of Twitter are able to turn my mood around. For the better. Hopefully these tweets have a similar effect on you.  

No one is impervious to the nuances of subtle sarcasm and wit. We've all had our woosh moments where we take something too literally and totally miss the joke. But some people really need to brush up on their meme humor, because there's no reason why anyone should ever take a stupid meme seriously. Thanks to r/woooosh, we've got a great selection of hilarious instances where someone tried to correct obvious satire in the comments, or missed a punchline entirely. Screenshots like these make us think twice about smashing that reply button. 

The best and worst thing about Twitter is the massive aggregation of bite-sized information. Twitter is like a brain on a million drugs, and sometimes that can be a bit overwhelming to scroll through. Don't you wish you could sometimes bypass all the petty beef, politics and depressing news and just skip to the modest jokes? Lucky for you, we've attempted to curate that experience by selecting some of our favorite funny, recent tweets. It's Twitter for anyone who doesn't feel like opening the app. 

It's a strange time in an even stranger world. Many have been made to feel alienated from their friends, families, neighbors and coworkers and we were just expected to cope. Well, easier said than done! Social media as a communication tool is far from perfect, but can you imagine what the pandemic would have been like without it? Yeah, Twitter can be pretty toxic and unbearable sometimes, but at least it gives us a sense of how millions of others are feeling in uncertain times. We've got a bunch of hilarious tweets that range from topical and relatable to downright silly. If you're still in hibernation mode but want to feel social, these tweets might provide some comforting amusement. 

Pretty much everyone loves a good joke. And the internet is chock full of 'em. Netizens frequently use memes and comments to exercise their wit and sarcasm. But sometimes people will take these jokes too literally, or just don't get them at all. When they feel the need to express this in a public comment, their stupidity is often funnier than the gag itself. The subreddit r/woooosh is a place for people to share these unintentionally hilarious moments. It's a page that we could scroll for hours. To save you from that time-consuming procrastination hole, we've put together some of their latest and greatest posts. If you need more, you can dive right into our other lists here and here.

It seems that Steak-Umm woke up today and chose violence. And while it isn't the first time (their Twitter is pretty legendary), this mini-vendetta against Neil Degrasse-Tyson has been too funny to ignore. On Sunday, Degrasse-Tyson tweeted that "The good thing about Science is that it's true, whether or not you believe in it." The sentiment, which is actually pretty dull, caught the attention of Steak-Umm's social media manager, Nathan Allenbach - who turned the platitude into an opportunity to ruffle some internet feathers. While at first Steak-Umm simply replied "log off bro," they later contextualized their stance, explaining that "science itself isn't "true" it's a constantly refining process used to uncover truths based in material reality and that process is still full of misteaks. neil just posts ridiculous sound bites like this for clout and he has no respect for epistemology." 

Where the initial sass-filled tweets are fiery and entertaining, the responses are taking things up a notch. It seems that Twitter users are eager to one-up each other with beef-related puns, desperate for Senpai (Steak-Umm) to notice them. And guess what? Many of them succeeded. While some people have jokingly suggested that the account take on Stephen Hawking (RIP), we really would love to see them go after some more public figures. While we never expected to support a brand's social account, let alone one that shills processed meat, we've really been enjoying Steak-Umm's social media development and can't wait to what kind of mischief they cause in the coming months. 

Hello, internet friends. We're back with another big batch of the best clever tweets from the past couple weeks. It's hard to keep up with Twitter sometimes, especially when you've got things to do and places to be. Who the hell has time to scroll through Twitter all day to sift through all the BS for the good stuff? Well, we do! Lucky for you, we've collected the funny Twitter gems so that you don't have to waste any time on the dreaded bird app. You're welcome. 

Not everyone is all about April Fools shenanigans, and many on Twitter are getting their yucks in now before they get yucked tomorrow. Remember when we were kids and April Fools was about giving your friends cookies made with salt instead of sugar? Boy, the looks on their faces. On the internet, April Fools 'pranks' are really just people lying to each other and the occasional fake announcement made by a popular brand. What will April 1st bring this year? We'll have to wait to find out, but until then, Twitter is cracking sarcastic jokes in anticipation of all the deceit and trickery. 

Twitter can often feel like a crowded room full of morons shouting random bad takes and stealing each other's jokes, but beautiful things can happen when random strangers on the internet put aside their differences for the sake of comedy. One legendary example of Twitter being good was that one time in 2017 when @sadgirlkms tweeted 'isn't rick and morty that thing you get when you die and your body gets all stiff,' which unintentionally prompted an epic thread of replies dedicated to keeping up a good joke. We've put the best replies from the thread together as a reminder that the internet can be hilarious sometimes.

It's been a pretty exciting day for Twitter—epic royal family drama, ironic misogyny from Burger King, Jack Dorsey selling his first tweet ever for millions of dollars...but this doesn't mean everyone has to care about the latest Twitter tea. Sometimes it's more fun to just dip into the funny and innocuous Twitter tidbits. We've got a variety of entertaining recent tweets for anyone who just wants to laugh and could care less about what's trending.

Everyone's favorite crowdsourced web encyclopedia has been reimagined by the clever minds behind @tldrwikipedia, who took the familiar aesthetic of Wikipedia and turned it into a brilliant meme format for joke-telling. The memes come across as if someone really lazy, sardonic, and maybe a little drunk had written all the entires for Wikipedia. We've collected some of our favorite memes from the @tldrwikipedia account, but be sure to check out their Twitter if you'd like to see more.
