Sometimes it’s nice to stop and smell the Tumblr genius – it’s always pumping, even when you’re away cheating with other social media sites (or, gasp, real life!).
If you feel as if you’ve been missing out lately, well, here are 14 little treasures we don’t want you to miss.
14. This 100% killed me dead.
13. You need to run to that altar.
12. Is this a real thing and why didn’t I know?
11. You’re not walking in my shoes, okay!?
10. A golden moment with a stranger.
9. Do directors from London really understand how big Texas is, though?
8. Proof that cats are the same all over the world.
7. Mostly number 4 here.
6. Such a sweet father-son moment.
5. It might be the same thing honestly.
4. This imaginary exchange is so sweet.
3. Foiled again!
2. Just play your part as best as you can.
1. His face needs to be a meme immediately.
Sure, I could have gone my whole life without reading these mini-discourses, but why would I want to?
Which one of these made you feel like it’s time to return to Tumblr more often?
Parents really try their hardest when picking out a name for their baby. They want the name to mean something, but not be so weird that it makes their baby’s life harder for years to come. They try to consider initials and nicknames and just generally to do right by their kid – it’s a huge responsibility, naming another person!
That said, things don’t always work out as planned (and I guess some people don’t take it too seriously to begin with), and people can end up…if not hating, then at least being displeased by their names.
What's the biggest problem you have with your name?
My biggest problem?
Me: "Hi, I'm Marcus. Nice to meet you."
Business people: "Hi, Marcus. Do you go by Mark?"
Me: "No. If I did then don't you think I'd introduce myself as that?"
No one can pronounce or spell it. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve been called “Renato” in an email. Hell, my company that I’ve been with for FOUR YEARS misspelled my name on my new nameplate pic.twitter.com/mwTrZsWtJi

13. This is way too long of a conversation.
“What’s your name?”
Dee.
“Dean? Hi Dean.”
Dee.
“Deena.”
No, Dee.
“Deanna.”
Just Dee.
“Dana.”
There’s no N.
“Dia.”
Dee.
“I don’t know what you’re saying.”
What comes after C?
“D?”
Yes!
“Your name is just one letter?”
With two E’s.
“Oh, Edie!”
10. What on earth would Clyde be short FOR, I wonder?
Everyone used to ask me what Clyde was ‘short for’. Eventually after many refutations I relented and said ‘Clyde-O’Scope’. So my nickname became Scope, which made me sound like Byron’s rakish mate, Scrope Davies.
Starbucks staff: Name?
Me: It’s Huw
Starbucks: Sue?
Me: No, Huw
Starbucks: Who?
Me: Huw
Starbucks: Is that H-U-G-H?
Me: No it’s H-U-W
Starbucks: Is that Chinese?
Me: Call me Ed. https://t.co/8PrFBXSPhV
5. Here I thought “with a C” would be the default.
Going through life “Cathy with a C”.. once registered for a conference by phone – said “Cathy with a C”.. got to conference..all my paperwork and badge were for Kathy Withacee
3. Seriously, it takes two seconds to double check.
My whole adult life, I have sent email from alanna.burke@whatever, with my name spelled correctly in the email, only to receive emails with my name misspelled. How. How do you do it. pic.twitter.com/t3nZUKsh8a
You have to admit that the food in America is…kind of extreme. Especially if you’re from another country. Those folks don’t know what they’re in for a lot of the time when they step foot onto our continent.
Enjoy these tweets about the madness of American food…I’ll see you in the drive-thru.
We met at a show and talked for maybe 10 – 15 mins outside. Message 1 was after I told him I found it forward that he IMMEDIATELY asked to hang out, message 2 was after I told him I wasn’t interested and he proceeded to claim I was a “hacker” who didn’t want us together lmaooo pic.twitter.com/1SALSi9Iuy
Telling yourself “I’ll finish the paper tomorrow morning. I’ll just set my alarm to wake up earlier to complete it” it’s a trap. Suck it up and just finish it right then and there.
Some teachers are kind of apathetic and just go along for the ride, and then there are legitimately bad teachers who probably shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a classroom.
The teachers people talked about in these tweets definitely belong in the latter category.
Let’s relive our school days with some tales of bad teachers!
1. You’re doing it all wrong.
I loved this teacher so this was/ is complicated but… my mom died when I was in 8th grade. I went to school the next day. My teacher told me my mom died because we had prayed the wrong way. mom was not even buried yet. She had died the morning before& I was told it was my fault https://t.co/T7uL0Ts0YX
My teacher in Pakistan asked me to go outside and find a stick for her and I ran outside and brought a big stick and then this bitch used it to hit me with it. https://t.co/dffheF9Exf
in 5th grade i had a science teacher who wouldn’t let ANYONE talk. EVER. literally if she heard a single peep out of any student in the room she would walk over to them very slowly and in the most humiliating way possible she would place a sticker on their desk
When I was in the 4th grade my teacher pulled me aside and said, and I quote “you’re the only reason anyone is ever upset or sad in this class. If you weren’t here everyone would be happy, you’re the cause of everyone’s problems”. I cried the whole day lmaoooo https://t.co/jnKD6i1B8D
my teacher made me sit in time out during a 1 day carnival with inflatables and free food and made me watch my entire class have fun because i forgot to turn in a paper. when we went back in. two hours later she found my paper. i cried during the whole time out https://t.co/Vza5Hcqbvf
2 at my “christian” uni disowned their son when they found out he was gay, bc they cared more about their reputations than their son
they took the keys to his truck and changed the locks on the house, leaving him homeless and without transportation out of our rural college town https://t.co/Py5v2nZS7q
My 8th grade English teacher called me a failure and said my writing was atrocious and now I’m an English teacher and she was fired https://t.co/yRkUNfBUcx
My teacher gave me a 78 (my first and only line of 7 grade) because I “wasn’t smiling in class.” She stomped on my grade. because. I wasn’t smiling. during a fucking photosynthesis discussion. https://t.co/jQ0tzsMdyp
My kindy teacher tried to convince everyone in the class that ppl who use their left hand will go to hell. When she found out I was left-handed she wrote to my parents a complaint telling them to teach me to be right handed. All my classmates listened to my teach so I got bullied https://t.co/RuPd2zkbK9

10. That’s pretty creepy.
My graphic design professor made it a point to google your professors to “know who they are” and I took her advice
I found out she has a youtube channel dedicated to sexual experiences with an inflatable tube guy who she called “her man”
my gym teacher got caught watching porn in the locker room and he has taken pictures of girls changing but they didn’t fire him bc they couldn’t afford a replacement
I was a very anxious 8yo in new school having a panic attack because I’d stuck my worksheet in the wrong book and teacher said if I didn’t stop crying she’d pull down my pants in front of all the boys (such a weird threat and similar to where my anxiety all began). I ran home.
I had a male PE teacher who would write down/track whenever someone didn’t participate in swimming because they had their period, if you used the same excuse within a month you’d get an after school detention, because teenagers definitely have regular periods all the time
I was obsessed with watching Saved by the Bell after school every day when I was younger, and my mom would always, without fail, call it Who Rings the Bell?
And, when I used to watch Headbanger’s Ball on MTV, she would call that show Harvey Wallbangers.
Dammit, Mom! Get it straight.
We all have trivial little things that our parents do that drive us nuts. And people are sharing their hilarious stories on Twitter. Let’s take a look.
1. Getting angrier…
Is there something trivial that your parents say that really fucking annoys you for no good reason? My mum accidentally calling Pets at Home 'Pets City' for the past twelve years is right up there
my mom refers to the band Bombay Bicycle Club as One Man and His Bicycle despite repeated corrections. also she misread Peaky Blinders once as Pesky Blinnders (???) and now refuses to call it anything else
Actually, aye, instead of calling it ‘pepperoni’, my Dad says ‘peperami’. Could be at an Italian restaurant and my Dad will legitimately ask the waiter for a ‘peperami pizza’. Send help.
My mum will always ALWAYS call KFC “Kentucky fried chicken” and I know that’s what it stands for but where’s the need to call it it’s full name, or even just “Kentucky” sometimes???? Why????
On Saturday Night Live, where improv is welcome and skits are rehearsed until the very last minute, it might seem obvious that things don’t always go as planned.
What’s amazing, though, is how often the skits that go “wrong” end up being the funniest, best-received ones of the night.
Here are 16 examples of things going wrong, but turning out hilariously right in the end, anyway.
16. I remember watching the Close Encounter sketch and laughing right along with Ryan Gosling.
He was trying and failing so hard.
15. After this second failure, I’m not sure he’ll be asked back for awhile.
Some actors just cannot handle the hilarity.
14. Will Ferrell pulled out the tiniest flip phone ever in Jeffrey’s.
Neither Sean Hayes or Jimmy Fallon could handle it. At all.
13. Even the famously stoic Kate McKinnon could not during this Weekend Update.
The meat apparently smelled really disgusting.
12. It’s not exactly hard to get Bill Hader to break, but Fred Armisen went the extra mile in Short Term Memory Loss Theater.
He improved the bit with the jacket.
11. Jimmy Fallon nearly ruined The Love-ahs with Barbara and Dave…
Or did he? Because it might just be better this way.
10. Justin Timberlake had to go to his happy place to stop the laughter in The Barry Gibb Talk Show: Bee Gees Singers.
Just look at his face when he finally looks up.
9. Will Ferrell improvising his Harry Caray was too much for Jeff Goldblum.
We were all confused, but in a good way.
8. The More Cowbell sketch is a beautiful mess.
Jimmy Fallon is all of us.
7. Absolutely no one made it through Debbie Downer: Disney World.
Especially not me.
6. The actors in Cast List were getting creative attempting to hide their giggles.
Will Ferrell as a drama teacher was too much.
5. When Kristen Wiig almost ran Maya Rudolph over in Super Showcase Spokesmodels it was over.
For Bill Hader and the rest of us.
4. None of the actors could keep it together during the Californians sketch.
They were on the verge of breaking character the entire time.
3. Chris Farley was the King, and was super hilarious in Matt Foley: Van Down by the River.
Neither David Spade or Christina Applegate stood a chance.
2. Bill Hader ran Melissa Villasenor into the table during Girlfriend’s Game Night.
Not once, but twice. At least he could hide behind her and laugh.
1. Aidy Bryant’s overzealous wardrobe assistant threw a wrench into the works.
It was so unexpected no one could stop the laughter.
I love it! Behind the scenes stuff is the best at making me laugh.

Ahhh… after a dozen memes I feel like a real person. It’s like a good, hot shower, only it’s me sitting on my couch, thumbing through my phone like a garbage person.
Ya know… same thing, right?
But those are my two cents… what are yours? Let us know in the comments!
