The Funniest Tweets of the Week
Photo by John-Michael Bond
Every week we scour Twitter for the best jokes and future libelous statements made by the current and future faces of comedy. Some of these folks want to have a career writing jokes. Others are just funnier than we’ll ever be. This week was an odd one, in a year of odd weeks. The 18th anniversary of 9/11 came about. How has time impacted the quality of 9/11 jokes 18 years after the fact? I think you’ll find for yourself with some of this week’s entries, they’ve become oddly more whimsical. If you’re offended by 9/11 jokes, don’t worry. We kept them to a minimum. But we would never forget to include them. It’s a valid form of catharsis and, most importantly, these are great jokes. Enjoy, and make sure to follow the folks who make you laugh.

The teens are dressing like the 90s. The teens were not born yet in the 90s. The teens are returning to a time they’ve never known. At a certain point, you’ve got to hand it to the teens.

I got pulled over and my vape was in my cup holder and the trooper was like “you know the news says those things are killing people”
I laughed a lil bit and said “ they say the same about y’all ”

I really love this Mulaney profile! One small complaint though: It says he wrote for SNL, which, after a very quick fact check, the writer could have learned has been disproven as just a long-running joke. But aside from that, the profile is great https://t.co/f18CyN6NhU
