Random Twitter Jokes to Make Your Day Better

Ah, Twitter. Where would we be without it?

Scream at each other about politics in person? That’s a lot of work. Plus it’s dangerous. Much safer to do that sort of thing with our thumbs while in the comfort of our own toilet. And of course, Twitter isn’t JUST the home for the world’s most nuanced and productive political discourse, it’s also a place for lots of good jokes, like these!

Here are fourteen random Twitter jokes you can read in the bathroom or wherever.

14. It’s kind of a lot

7. Slice of life

Very brave of her to use her final breath to deliver this news. F in the chat.

6. Fishing for compliments

Yeah but did you see how thoroughly medium-sized the fish was?

5. Checks and balances

(There are functionally identical and much cheaper alternatives to Apple products…just sayin.’)

4. Sweep me off my feet

Well that doesn’t suck.

3. Small talk

I’d choose pasta any day.

2. Key to my heart

How old is that car anyway? Is this kid a time traveler?

1. Scream time

The important thing is that your system works for you.

Without jokes on Twitter, we’d have to find jokes out in the wild like our ancestors did, and that sounds exhausting. So here’s to all the wonderful funny people who continue to supply us with these golden tweets. Keep up the great work.

Who are the funniest people on Twitter in you opinion?

‘Dirty Dancing’ Fans Are Finally Getting a Sequel

Dirty Dancing hit big screens in 1987. Since then, it has become one of the most popular romance movies of all time.

Generations of film fanatics have learned the story of Johnny Castle and Frances “Baby” Houseman—famously played by the late Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, respectively.

Posted by Dirty Dancing on Friday, April 24, 2020

While Dirty Dancing got released in 1987, it still remains as popular as ever. And now, fans of the famous romantic drama will finally see their sequel dream come true.

In a recent earnings call, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer confirmed that the follow-up to Dirty Dancing is in the works.

Of course, figuring out where the storyline will pick up will be interesting to follow. The hit film saw its two main stars fall in love, but will obviously feature a new lead male actor.

Dirty Dancing was released 26 years ago! What are your favorite moments from the film?

Posted by Dirty Dancing on Thursday, August 1, 2013

A second Dirty Dancing film did get released in 2004. However, Havana Nights is considered a prequel since it did not feature either of the two stars from the original movie.

Grey will return for the sequel. Besides starring on-screen, she will also serve as an executive producer.

According to Deadline, Jonathan Levine and Gillian Bohrer will also work on the project, which is based on a screenplay by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis.

Imagine being at one of the #DirtyDancing premieres… ? #TBT

Posted by Dirty Dancing on Thursday, August 15, 2019

Ultimately, we still don’t know a ton of details, but given the popularity of Dirty Dancing, it’s hard not to get excited about the upcoming sequel.

And with Grey serving as both an executive producer and a star, that will give fans of the famous romantic drama even more reason to visit theaters.

Are you a Dirty Dancing fan? What is your favorite scene from the iconic film?

The Dark Origins of Auntie Anne’s Pretzel Shops

If you’ve ever enjoyed a pretzel or pretzel bites or cheese from Auntie Anne’s, whether at a mall or an airport, or somewhere else, chances are you haven’t thought much beyond how delicious a snack you’ve procured.

If you had, well…you probably would have been shocked by how Auntie got her start.

Auntie Anne’s actual name is Anne Beiler, and she was raised in the Amish community, where she dropped out of school in eighth grade, then married at 18.

An aunt to over 30 nieces and nephews, she had her own children, too.

One of them, a daughter, was killed in a tractor accident, and when Anne sought help with her grief at church, her pastor r*ped her.

Afterward, he coerced her into a six year sexual relationship, and when Anne finally gathered the courage to out him, things blew up.

He had been doing the same thing to almost every women in their congregation, including every last one of her sisters, and the community eventually ran him out of town on a rail.

View this post on Instagram

Our pretzels… getting baked since 1988.

A post shared by Auntie Anne's (@auntieannespretzels) on

Her husband wanted to open a counseling center where women could seek grief counseling free of sexual manipulation (wtf, y’all), but Anne decided to deal with her grief and betrayal her own way, buying a local pretzel shop that had recently gone out of business.

She threw herself into learning how to make delicious pretzels and run a business, and within a year, had opened seven additional locations.

She used the money to open the grief counseling center, hoping that other women who suffered as she had would not be further traumatized when asking for help.

None of this altered her faith, and recently, she even did a stint on the Museum of the Bible’s board of directors.

She’s a strong woman, no doubt, and even though her pretzels are delicious, I’m sorry all of this had to happen to her for them to become a thing.

One thing’s for sure though…I wouldn’t mess with her. Not for all the pretzel bites in the world.

‘Pride and Prejudice’ Jokes That Fans Will Truly Love

There are people in the world who still hate on Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice, but if you as me, it mostly just smacks of either envy or somehow thinking it makes you cool and superior to not like the thing everyone else enjoys.

There are also ample jokes, which of course means you’ve made it, and we really love these 16.

Posts That Are Really Sweet in Only the Way Tumblr Can Pull Off

Sometimes, Tumblr has its own brand of sweet. It’s the kind of sweet that can go from extremely gentle to the toughest love at the drop of a hat, but then it will kindly pick your hat back up, brush it off, and hand it to you with an interesting, probably inaccurate factoid about haberdashers.

What I’m saying is that it’s a place that will play with your feels in a pretty fascinating way.

Here are ten examples of what I’m talking about. Ten sweet and sweet-ish posts for you to drop your hat to.

10. Eye see you

This is probably the most genuinely sweet post in the set.

F*** me, I don’t do what I tell me!

https://seesalt.tumblr.com/post/160860320288/me-im-gonna-set-a-personal-deadline-me-to-me

4. Under the feels

This is me when I am even slightly criticized.

3. Gotta go slow

I think this is berry cute.

https://happydiethylether.tumblr.com/post/55487054148/if-youve-been-having-a-bad-day-heres-a-hedgehog
