Freedom of speech, it has to be said, has been abused and taken to ridiculous levels mostly thanks to social media. Take Twitter for example. Whether it’s 140 or 280 characters, it is the one social network that rewards people roasting others they’ve never met.
All those burns and comebacks are immortalized thanks to modern technology. And we’re all for it. Go through this list and see which one makes you laugh hardest, starting with:
A moo-ving sentiment
So you know how you can tell someone’s vegan? Yeah, they’ll let you know themselves. But we guess we can’t fault PETA for their efforts to protect animals.
Sure it’s also a good idea to cut back on meat consumption, but you do have to question their methods at times. If the aim is for us to empathize with animals, PETA, then reminding us we have very few friends isn’t the best tactic.
Your mileage may vary
Can anyone of you honestly say that they’ve had a sibling buy you a brand new car because they were tied of seeing you drive an old one? No?
Well, this lady claims exactly that. But the user near the bottom of the image found her claim dubious, pointing out that the only free thing her brother ever gave her was a tall glass of shut-up juice.
Shrek bod
Remember Magic Mike? It’s a movie with Channing Tatum playing Channing Tatum, only that time he was an exotic dancer. He’s got the range for it to be fair.
Einstein here pointed out Magic Mike’s $167 million box office as proof that women, or “girls”, don’t like dad bods.
To think the only exercise he does is jumping to conclusions. The second commenter spoke up for everyone, pointing out that Shrek made a ton more money without having a single ab.
An enemy greater than ever before
This picture poses two alternative scenarios in perhaps a different universe. We’re sure he isn’t Ryan Gosling, but he did make a mayo-and-pea pizza intending to eat it or post it as a goof.
In the first scenario, he’s pretty insane, but in the second, he united opposing teams just by wasting perfectly good pizza. Whether you like pineapple on your pizza or not, mayonnaise and peas on it seems to have launched a crusade.
Life, uh, finds a way
No one is hurling allegations against an esteemed publication like BBC Earth, but… how exactly do you accidentally make a dinosaur-faced chicken?
Someone please walk us through the technical details of that happening. Never mind, we’ll do our own… digging.
So apparently, scientists fooled around with the molecular processes a chicken embryo was undergoing. Then, instead of a beak they gave it a snout, like a dinosaur’s. That doesn’t sound accidental. Those scientists were actively trying to create dino-chickens.
The sacrifice is real
We’re sure you’re right, Access. What is bravery if not eating normal people food before attending an ultra weird gala for the weirdest rich people? Kendall Jenner is a paragon of human virtue, after all.
Cynics still troll around, failing to bask in Kendall’s splendor. This account by a real victim of the Syrian civil war drew strength from her example. Not all heroes wear capes. Just freakishly huge feather boas.
The ultimate fantasy
We really don’t think anyone in that show would ask a question this provocative. What would Papa Smurf say?
However, this account by the same name asked Twitter what’s the one thing they’d like to try in the bedroom.
One user spoke up for exhausted parents and working folk, suggesting a good night’s sleep. For once we all agreed with a stranger online. Forget Fifty Shades of Grey. What we want is Fifty Shades of Lay…ing in bed and peacefully going to sleep until noon.
Under his umbrella, ella, ella
The term “toxic masculinity” is so easily thrown around in online conversations. To think there’s no universally agreed-upon definition of what it means, but it’s probably something like someone suggesting that not getting soaking wet is somehow unmanly.
Well, “Miles Davis” grown men are also affected by precipitation. Really??!
Apparently, adult males don’t automatically receive Aquaman’s superpowers. No one’s more disappointed than us guys, since we really want to talk to fish.
No habla el check-o
No one has perfect spelling and grammar. Everyone’s life circumstances are different and many others never got the privilege of a formal education. That said, misspelling words is fine but… do use the same zip-code of the word you were trying to spell.
We’re all baffled as to how “obligated” became “habla gated,” but no, the answer is no. Men are neither obli nor habla gated to pay for everything. Even with those whose English is so bad it’s like a different language altogether.
Consider us warned
Popular Science has been around for nearly 150 years, and has adapted to the many changes the publishing industry went through in that time. Nearly every publication has made a huge leap into digital content, which has its own set of rules.
They need to grab a reader’s attention with such eye-catching copy as “Warning: Do NOT get into a breath-holding contest with a naked mole-rat.”
Great tip! The local bar has tons of mole-rat patrons who keep challenging us to those.
Right, but are there… six?!
There are times when life imitates art in splendid ways. But then life can also imitate art in stupid ways. See for yourself which category this one falls under.
In 2018, scientists claimed they could recreate living dinosaurs within the next five years. They now have about three years left.
There’s no way those scientists didn’t watch Jurassic Park, so we’re guessing their takeaway from the movie was really “This is a great idea that we should also try”.
Why not both?
Say what you want about the unsolicited bit of drive-by factoid here, but Rashad is spot on. Our fingers do become wrinkly when underwater for a prolonged period of time to give us better grip.
The pruning is caused by blood vessels constricting below the surface of the skin. But the other user thought it was just the universe’s signal that it was time to get out of the bathtub, and he’s not wrong either.
Life-changing life hack
We all love useful life hacks. Anything basic we’ve been doing wrong or inefficiently for years, and then learning a better way to do it, is awesome in our book. But the operative word here is “useful.”
Take this life hack, for example. “No taco shells? Use tortillas”?
Taco shells ARE tortillas! This is as useful as suggesting that if we run out of oxygen, we should try breathing air.
Playing the blame game
For all the heat Twitter, and social media are getting, we can’t ignore the good they’ve brought into our lives. For example, interacting with celebrities has never been easier.
Think about it, anyone can just keyboard-vomit at Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Nickelback may not fit that particular bill, but they’re still famous. Proving they have as much class as they do musical talent, they fired back at a random fan’s accusation. That’s how they remind her!
Messed with the wrong programmer
Lyndsey Scott does give a whole new meaning to the term “model student.” She’s a successful model, being the first African-American to sign an exclusive runway deal with Calvin Klein.
What’s more surprising is the fact that she’s an accomplished coder, having written programs since she was just 12. She juggles her modeling and acting while working for tech companies.
These two guys thought the only thing Scott could do was write a program that says “Hello World”.
That’s got to be the biggest insult among programmers.
Vegan is as vegan does
Talk with any legal team and they will advise that you cannot claim vegans bio-engineered a tick whose bite makes humans allergic to meat. No one is saying that… but we’re not saying they DIDN’T do that either.
William obviously does not enjoy the protection of his own legal team, since he had no problem claiming it was the first step in vegans’ planned takeover.
Seriously, Will. How will they take over anything with that B12 deficiency?
He’ll get right on that, we’re sure
No one wants to match wits with Neil deGrasse Tyson. No one’s saying that he isn’t smart, but he could be a bit nicer. It’s almost like his middle name sounds like his attitude towards others.
And others have noticed. Noting Tyson’s grumbling tweet on not being able to ruin Armageddon for others, Netflix’s official account told him that it’s now available. So now he can tell kids there’s no Santa!
Dropping the dime on Tony Stark
There’s not much to add to these grainy security camera images, and that may be our biggest regret in life. Apparently, this guy committed some sort of crime with the police on the hunt for him.
Our man Jojo respects the code of the streets, but figured he may as well say that the guy is probably Iron Man. After all, he IS wearing his mask underneath that hoodie. But… Tony Stark’s a billionaire so why would he hold up a 7-Eleven?
Aren’t they though?
The internet has done well for others, but jerks still have the cloak of semi-anonymity, which intensifies their jerkness tenfold. Like this guy who thinks that disabled-only parking should only be allowed Monday through Friday from nine to five.
Yes, because there’s no reason people with disabilities would be out at those times. It’s not like they just want to catch a movie, right?
Jennifer set him straight. And now we wonder if he really thought people in wheelchairs couldn’t face the light of the moon.
Crying over spilt cash
Don’t you just love those celebrity “woe is me” articles? What’s more relatable than the world’s youngest self-made billionaire whining over the fact that she “missed out on being normal”?
We hate to break it to you, Kylie Jenner, but Chedda tha savage isn’t wrong.
A lot of us missed out on being rich too, so go dry those tears with crisp $100 bills. And besides, The Kardashian-Jenner family needs around three degrees of divine intervention to come within even a mile of being normal.
Geoffrey, is that you?!
No one knows what is going on here. The tweet accompanying this photo came from a Joey Tribbiani, a fictional character on Friends.
“Work till you can afford a giraffe”? What does that mean?
Has anyone ever had that goal? The giraffe in the photo isn’t alive obviously and either way, getting one inside the house will be a logistical challenge.
International house of burn-cakes
Nowadays, it’s en vogue for major corporations to have a snarky Twitter account. Twitter has to be the hip, cool platform where these corporations can let loose and insult their customers to their faces (accounts?).
The reigning champion in electronic evisceration has to be Wendy’s. This pig-tailed pugilist ragged on IHOP for attempting to broaden their horizons. Don’t be a bully, Wendy. A redhead should know better.
Don’t diss the U.S. Postal Service, nerd
It is disgusting when people look down on others for no other reason than the job they do. We’ll say it again, so the people in the back can hear. No job is “degrading” or beneath anyone.
Working your way through life, feeding yourself and your loved ones is something anyone should be proud of. It’s a lesson this weasel never learned, dubbing postal workers “package delivery guys.”
Because playing Fortnite in your parents’ basement the whole day is way more respectable.
Not even close
Rob Fee is a producer, writer, and director. He’s worked in Hollywood for years, so he does have insight into the inner machinations of Tinseltown. So what cutting observation did this industry whistle-blower share with us?
He says Johnny Depp wears a lot of thumb rings. Almost everyone likes Mr. Depp, so we hope he isn’t playing much poker these days, and that’s whether he gets to keep his lizard talismans on him or not. You Heard us.
Seems like an intern’s job
We do love the phrase “Hoist with his own petard.” It’s taken from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, which means a bomb-maker being blown up by their own bomb.
In less polite society, it could mean someone being blown away by their own flatulence.
The Daily Wire was so ready to drag on America’s sweetheart Patton Oswalt for being a bad comedian, until someone decided to use a photo of him literally holding an award for being good at his job.
Can never unsee it now
Cultural appropriation is a huge can of worms most are not particularly inclined to open. Whether you think it’s a big deal or not, everyone reading this should agree that Justin Bieber shouldn’t be allowed… anything.
Proving that his stylistic choices are just as bad as his musical ones, he sported green dreadlocks for a time. So naturally, a comedy account on Twitter pointed out that his dreads looked like the Grinch’s fingers.
Twitter user down, Twitter user down!
This Twitter dude thought he was clever and subversive by claiming there was a party at his house, and the police weren’t invited. But seriously, if you want to hide a party from your parents, announcing it on Twitter isn’t the best call.
It was a slow day for the police department in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, because they saw the tweet and responded saying they promised not to show up. Nobody else would either.
So the cops think he’s unpopular…
A very un-royal burn
We were not aware the British Royal Mail operated a catty Twitter account. This user named Chilly P hoped to lodge an official complaint that his Valentine’s Day cards had not yet arrived.
Valentine’s Day is February 14. His tweet is dated June 17, four months later. The Royal Mail, in response, asked when exactly his mom mailed them. The Queen would not have approved.
The best revenge is living well
You may not recognize him, but we 100% guarantee that you’ve heard at least one of his songs. This is Chris Barron, the lead singer of the band Spin Doctors. Their biggest hits in the ’90s were Two Princes and Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong.
Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong made waves and was a decent success. And that’s way more than Chris’s stepmother ever thought would become of him. The best revenge is living well they say.
Tomato, tomahto
The Daily Caller is a news and opinion website co-founded by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. They published a link to an article with a rather provocative title.
It stated that millennials are “so helpless they’re taking ‘adulting classes’”. There is much-needed clarification here.
The youngest millennials are now in their mid-twenties. The older ones are in their late thirties. People have to stop labeling them as incompetent children, whether older generations skipped life skills classes or not.
