The Funniest Tweets of the Week
Image via the Gorilla FoundationOkay so a couple funny things happened last week. First, some mysterious organization announced a fundraising drive to remake The Last Jedi. Is it real or a terrible prank? Impossible to say. (It’s probably a prank. But what if it’s not!) Second, Koko the talking gorilla died. I’m sorry but it’s funny a bunch of scientists tricked the world into thinking a gorilla knew language, and also that that gorilla allegedly blamed its cat for breaking a sink. It is! Third, ABC announced it’s bringing back Roseanne without Roseanne, which, good luck everyone. Fourth, the entire pundit class is up in arms about Sarah Huckabee Sanders getting kicked out of a restaurant. Incredible! Bad though. Fifth, Trump dunked on Jimmy Fallon last night. Okay, that’s about it. Here are the tweets:

Not to split hairs with Sarah Huckabee Sanders, but I don’t think “leaving politely” includes being a passive aggressive bitch from your work account

All I’m saying is if a gorilla could learn sign language it isn’t THAT insane to think she might also be able to learn how to fake her death

it’s my belief that no comedian should be muscular. you can either make people laugh or open jars by yourself, never both

RIP koko the gorilla. She lived on a beanbag chair and died knowing that robin williams is dead, which her handlers went out of their way to tell her despite the fact that she only met him once

dont be sad for koko the ape, be proud. a creature so like us. koko had reached the end of pleasures which could be derived from earthly pursuits. so he solved lemarchand’s puzzle box and was torn to pieces by cenobites
