The Funniest MTV VMA Tweets

When it comes to MTV VMA jokes, you expect the hits, and baby, we’ve got ‘em. There’s the “who knew MTV even still showed videos?” wisecrack, the “I’m an old person and this confuses me” chestnut, the “Jared Leto is a [fill-in-the-blank]” insult. Last night Twitter was an all killer and also all filler assault of the MTV VMA tweets you know and love the most. Here are the best of the best, for whatever that might be worth.

Katy Perry makes me long for the comic subtlety of That’s So Raven. #VMAs

I love Katy Perry and her music but watching her try to do comedy is almost as embarrassing as a reality star being president #MTVVMAs

2017 will now be the year Tiffany Haddish attended the VMAs but didn’t host them because Katy Perry had some space jokes to try out.

I got to ask @katyperry if she’s just Lana Del Rey’s “cool mom” and for that I am grateful. #VMAs#BillyontheStreetpic.twitter.com/BnXqdhIzZp
