The Funniest Tweets about Boris Johnson Becoming the UK’s New Prime Minister

Let’s try something out here. We don’t typically run these tweet galleries about foreign politics (except for that one about the Brexit vote that I put together at like 2 in the morning while at a theme park press event). Boris Johnson is such a thoroughly ridiculous human being, though, that it’s hard not to make fun of him. Even Americans are having a hard time not mocking the guy. Of course most of that mockery rises exactly to the level of “look at this dude’s hair” and no further, but hey, it’s still possible to make quality jokes at the expense of the terrible fashion sense of society-disrupting upper class twits.
With Boris Johnson becoming the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom earlier today, Twitter was full of good jokes about the goof. Here are our favorites. You can also just reread any of your favorite old anti-Trump tweets—just swap out his name for Johnson’s and read it in a fancy British accent.
For any Americans wondering who Boris Johnson is, he’s what would happen if you threw Donald Trump, a hay bale and a thesaurus into a washing machine and then it caught fire.

hard to say something really cutting about Boris Johnson when he just… looks like that. There is no insight funnier or more tragic than his literal presence.

Boris Johnson looks like a British comedian you’ve never heard of, but then suddenly has eight Netflix specials and roles in every Dreamworks film pic.twitter.com/0CieLvDM0a

Congratulations to Boris Johnson for finally giving me a clear and concise understanding of exactly what British people mean when they say “wanker”.

Boris Johnson though? It’s like England watched America for the last almost three years and said “hold my pint…”

It’s absolutely killing me that people are describing Boris Johnson as a “smarter Trump”, lest I remind you that Trump’s cognitive strength was measured by his ability to identify a drawing of a lion, camel, and rhinoceros.

If you were more upset about a woman becoming 007 than Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister, your British priorities are way off.

I don’t know anything about British politics but Boris Johnson looks like if you sent a glop of tartar sauce to private school which I think makes him the most British

feels like if you wanted to you could find a photo of boris johnson drunk driving a tiny motorcycle while holding a large novelty cocktail glass. I’m not saying that this photo definitely exists I’m just saying he seems like the kind of guy where it would

Respect to Boris Johnson, a true pioneer in the field of Politicians Who Look Like Satirical Cartoons Of Themselves.

Boris Johnson is what happens when people keep buying morally reprehensible tabloids for a few decades, because it’s all just harmless fun for your dumbest relatives and couldn’t possibly inform their entire, rapidly narrowing worldview.

Donald Trump and Boris Johnson go in to shake each other’s hands for the first time and they immediately bounce off each other like two guys wearing inflatable sumo suits

The UK choosing Boris Johnson as their PM while we have Trump feels like that scene in Billy Madison where he pretends to pee his pants so the kid who peed his pants won’t feel as bad

After tweeting something negative about Boris Johnson, I’m discovering that his fan base can only be described as “aggressively flaccid”.

First mistake Boris Johnson made as PM- giving a speech in front of a solid blue background. pic.twitter.com/bkb0UqmEK6
