jokes

History memes aren't for everyone. Maybe all the plebeians with their Slim Jims and reality television will have their minds sated by relatable content, but not the brooding, dour historian. No, the historians among us will only draw pleasure from history memes for the historically inclined. Yes, the only thing that can light up the brain of an enlightened one is history memes for the splendiferously learned. That and maybe some fancier, beefier Slimothy Jameses.

Not only do practical jokes require planning and commitment, but they also require a sense of moral decorum. Filling someone's car with bees might be a challenging and impressive surprise, but it could also be seen as cruel. Of the sinister pranks people pull off, there seems to be a pretty clear line between the shenanigans of a mad lad and the sheer brutal workings of a sociopath. So choose the right prank.

No one is impervious to the nuances of subtle sarcasm and wit. We've all had our woosh moments where we take something too literally and totally miss the joke. But some people really need to brush up on their meme humor, because there's no reason why anyone should ever take a stupid meme seriously. Thanks to r/woooosh, we've got a great selection of hilarious instances where someone tried to correct obvious satire in the comments, or missed a punchline entirely. Screenshots like these make us think twice about smashing that reply button. 

The sign for the Indian Hills Community Center has a long history of having a pun game that's too strong. There's something weirdly quaint about a sign with good puns. For some more quality puns, here's a smattering of puns to fill the pun void.

You may have noticed the weather is getting a little warmer, and we all know exactly what's coming. Hot girl summer is virtually so close we can taste it my dudes. And no, that does not mean we all have to start hitting the gym every day or get, 'bikini body ready.' Here's your loud and clear reminder that your body is always bikini body ready.

Hot girl summer is about being a confident, sexy, boss bitch. Just like werewolves embrace their powers during a full moon, we hot girls embrace ours when the sun comes out, and it's nearly that time of year again. The world is not read, but these Twitter users definitely seem to be.

The best and worst thing about Twitter is the massive aggregation of bite-sized information. Twitter is like a brain on a million drugs, and sometimes that can be a bit overwhelming to scroll through. Don't you wish you could sometimes bypass all the petty beef, politics and depressing news and just skip to the modest jokes? Lucky for you, we've attempted to curate that experience by selecting some of our favorite funny, recent tweets. It's Twitter for anyone who doesn't feel like opening the app. 

What is left out there for the splendiferously learned among us to laugh about? Perhamspnt must ye be learned enough that though shalt iimplore thine knowledge of the histories. The history memes that thoust understand better than the other peasants may set thine apart from the ye rabble, may let it be knownts amoung the gentry forthwith; thehistory memes for the ages be that with thou pullst thine knowledge swoard fromme the stone of tyme. Amen.

Remember, if someone says something confusing, incomprehensible, or absurdly dumb but also has dozens or hundreds of people responding positively to it, that's probably a joke. Some of us have a compulsion to state the obvious or even call other people stupid when they aggressively miss the joke, and that only serves to plunge them further into their hole of lameness. Just give it an extra second of thought or risk sliding into the ranks of mistaken people who missed the joke by miles.

It's a strange time in an even stranger world. Many have been made to feel alienated from their friends, families, neighbors and coworkers and we were just expected to cope. Well, easier said than done! Social media as a communication tool is far from perfect, but can you imagine what the pandemic would have been like without it? Yeah, Twitter can be pretty toxic and unbearable sometimes, but at least it gives us a sense of how millions of others are feeling in uncertain times. We've got a bunch of hilarious tweets that range from topical and relatable to downright silly. If you're still in hibernation mode but want to feel social, these tweets might provide some comforting amusement. 

As every woman knows, a visit to the gynecologist can be a little awkward. Even if your doctor is super friendly and puts you at ease, there's something about having a stranger being fist (or speculum) deep in your vagina that puts you slightly on edge. Depending on their approach, sometimes, gynecologists try to make things less awkward by making small talk during their examination, which, ironically, can make things even worse. These women shared the awkward things their gynecologists said to them, and all I'll say is, peering inside someone's vagina is not the time or place to crack jokes.

Oftentimes, it is the most hilarious people who never pursue careers in comedy. They just entertain us for free! Isn't that amazing? If you're lucky enough, your future significant other will be one of those people. Then you get a life-long supply of cheesy jokes and pranks from a damn near professional. I only can home to be so lucky one day. Until then, let's enjoy these silly practical jokes that probably made these wives' significant others go, "Yep, that's my wife, the comedian."
