41 of the Funniest Burns from the Week of May 27, 2024

Hell gained an Ángel this week. Notorious MLB umpire Ángel Hernández is retiring after nearly 30 years of being what the media has called the “most disliked,” “most controversial” and “worst umpire” in baseball. For decades, fans have dreaded seeing him behind the plate, and his calls have impacted players like Bryce Harper and C.C. Sabathia, who have gone on record begging him to get a new job. Not surprisingly then, people across social media celebrated Hernández’s retirement, with LASIK lobbing a particularly brutal burn. 

But the much vilified umpire wasn’t alone on the hot seat. In fact, you could probably field a baseball team with the number of digital burn victims this week. The others included a woman with Hank Hill tendencies, the unsavory look of a portable drink and a one-two punch for Eminem.
