Hello everyone! Have a good day, and take your pills if you have those and should take them. I'm simply spreading positivity in this comment section.
In previous interviews for Bored Panda (here and here), together with comedians and humor experts, we tried to get to the bottom of why X is brimming with so much funny content.
Humor coach and keynote speaker on communication Jeremy Nicholas explained that the platform is perfect for topical jokes and reacting to topical stories, which might be the main reason why there's so much funny content on there.
Lol ok will do and I'll be sending it to funny home videos for £250 as well
Its instantaneous nature allows people to react to immediate and relevant events that, with a funny twist, generate a lot of material that we all can laugh at.
Another reason for X becoming a comedy hub is its huge user base. As of early 2025, X is estimated to have 650 million active users. With so many different people and their sense of humor gathered in one place, everyone can find something funny to them. Plus, it’s easy enough to use—one can find the right audience just by typing out their thoughts.
The person that decided YT ads should be a thing should be forced in life to sit and wait, watching several ads before they are allowed to do anything, including if they need to rush to the toilet.
The 280-character limit on X also seems not to hold comedic geniuses back. Actually, it might be quite the opposite, as Nicholas said that “humour works best with fewer words.”
Our previous family dog's favourite dog was a batman on a motorbike. She loved sleeping and licking it.
“The best jokes have no fat on them at all. If a word doesn’t add to the setup or the punchline, it should be cut. You can’t be rambling when you’ve only got 280 characters to play with, but that’s a good thing. No one has ever said, ‘I enjoyed that joke, but just wish it had gone on longer,'" Nicholas said.
“The real challenge is turning a long joke into a short one without losing the punch—or stretching a short joke into a TED Talk without losing the audience,” said comedian and comedy coach Manny Garavito.
That's why it's so cute to watch them. Trying out all the new firsts and what and looking adorable while doing it.
We miss you both oh so very much!!!!!!! We fear for our safety and our way of life. I am so afraid he is going to cut my Medicare. Do not tell me he won't do that. Trump has proven he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. PLEASE President Biden, use the power that you still have to influence our Senators, congressmen, federal judges, all who can help to continue to live in the U.S.A. that our forefathers envisioned for us because now, as of January 20th, we are living in a dictatorship and are returning to the early 1900's and we may have a new era Hitler to contend with.
The secret to being funny on X is staying as honest as possible, Nicholas said. “The closer a joke is to the truth, the funnier it is,” says Nicholas. “I work a lot with professional speakers on adding laughs to their keynotes and the same rules apply. If you go too far off the track of truth, it becomes unbelievable and not as funny.”
I have had enough gas for the last several weeks to launch the sixth fleet!!!
Meanwhile, Gravito’s advice for creating funny content is to “spot the trend, call out the obvious, then flip it on its head. The punchline should feel like the joke will lose you followers and gain you some new ones.”
“A good way of writing jokes for X is to start with some source material and then add your own comment,” added comedy writing coach and director Chris Head. “A great way to arrive at topical jokes is to do this with news headlines," he said.
He also suggests looking at statistics or proverbs as material for jokes. “Find some stats as a starting point for a joke. You could take a surprising attitude to the stat—or deliberately misunderstand what it’s saying. You can also interrupt a well-known saying and change how it finishes, or try looking up inspirational quotes and adding your own afterthought.”
Why didn't they put the money on his books? The parents are the real crooks
You was talking democracy while my followers had to storm the Capitol. Now I pardon them and damn your democracies! Russia is moving inland but I have my eyes set on Greenland. Oh yeah!
But it says January 21st on the date underneath which was a good day because it's my birthday
This year for your birthday we got you a dictatorship. It's great because it lasts four years, but who knows, it could be forever
Lol I'd say lucky for me I don't live in America but I always get the feeling he's like a pinky and the brain situation. And he doesn't have a pinky to stop him getting into to much sh#t so he may just take over the world with stupidity
Sorry nemo, but Trump will do damage to the world, regardless of where you live.
I know that's why I did the pinky and the brain. Trump is Brain and doesn't have Pinky to keep him from trying to take over the world
Right, because the man who didnt/couldnt take over *the first time he was president * totally will now. 🙄 Obviously politicians are awful but let’s not be dramatic. Having controversial policies, and even being a raging narcissist doesn’t make someone a dictator.
A dictatorship isn't always run by a single person Cookie. Sometimes it's just a one party rule, or minority rule situation. You've now got a single party in total control of all three branches of government. And they are actively passing laws at both the state and federal levels to solidify their control regardless of how the people vote. Through gerrymandering and voter suppression, the United States is very quickly moving towards dictatorship. Donald Trump is merely a symptom of a much larger disease in American politics.
He's got help this time, in form of a man who can't control his arms and legs
Do you get birthday gifts or get screwed because it's too close to Christmas?
Lol both. Any of my friends who are also born January we make a point of getting each other a little something. Anyone of my friends who ain't born January I get something January 25th through to February 2nd
My dad's birthday was on January 21st as well! XD I always thought it was funny when I was a kid, because he was an Aquarius and I'm a Pisces - so, the water-bearer is the father of the fish XD (I'm adopted, but consider him to be 100% my dad.)
Happy birthday to your dad. Lol my mum was a cancer but I never thought of the water thing until now
And a happy belated birthday to you as well, kind online stranger! I'm also a January baby, celebrated 5 days ago

That list *will* be 50 items if you're not silly enough to be a premium member, and if you made any comments half of them will be for the stuff you can't see anymore.
Load More Replies...If these are the funniest, I don't want to see the most depressing ones.
I don't use Twitter or whatever the heck it's called simply because I despise the muskrat. I closed my account a while back because of his BS.
That seemed like way more than 12 tweets but a lot less than 12 of the funniest tweets that I apparently haven't missed.
