The Funniest Tweets of the Week
Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty
Here are last week’s funniest tweets. There were no funnier tweets. These tweets cover a wide variety of topical and non-topical subject matter, for instance: the government shutdown, which you may recall the Democrats caved on just seven days ago; Oscar nominations, the discourse surrounding which has only just begun; that thing where Trump tried to fire Mueller and wanted people to believe it was about golf club fees; that most sacred of art forms, podcasting; Melania Trump; the famed State of the Union Address; so-called “Tide Pods”; and “Other.” That’s all! I hope you have a good week, and more importantly, that I have a good week. Byeeeeeeeee

I think it’s great we’ll have a Kennedy giving the SOTU response but slightly disappointed we couldn’t find a Habsburg to do it.

I give every comedian just starting the same advice for getting ahead: call 1-800-COMEDY-BOYZ and ask for Bobby. They’re gonna say a Bobby doesn’t work there. That’s a test, keep asking for Bobby

The perfect podcast: a bunch of semi-known comedians may have killed a guy and it’s a week by week investigation into which one did it

“Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court, we will show that this entire investigation arises out of a bitter dispute by Mr. Mueller over golf club fees.”

The trick to watching SNL? Ya gotta treat it like a sport.
Lorne = The Coach, calling the plays and running the show.
The Host = The Coach, making headlines and leading the charge.
The Cast = The Coach, keeping things afloat and kicking major ass in the process.

Troubled that I can’t decide whether my favorite Best Picture nominee is the sexy homo drama about young love, the sexy hetero romcom about uncompromising lunatics, or the sexy interspecies fable about fish sex.

Superstore = Harrods

In retrospect, perhaps we shouldn’t have a de-facto two-party parliament wherein the sole opposition to the white supremacist party of capital is the party of woke capital

For shame! Advertising is full of sinful depictions of irresponsibly snowboarding bears and men dining while their mucus comes alive and taunts them

It’s insane that Thomas Middleditch plays like a malevolent asshole in the verizon commercials. He’s clearly despised by the people around him but his character is clearly a representative of the company. Just a sneering prick who loves verizon and never loses.
