49 of the Funniest Tweets from the Week of June 17, 2024

It’s been a huge week for balls. The Boston Celtics, everyone’s favorite NBA team to hate, extended a league record by claiming their 18th league championship with a 4-1 Finals win over the Dallas Mavericks. At the same time, the lowly New York Mets went on a seven-game winning streak that many fans attributed to a rather unconventional source: Grimace. That’s right, the purple fast-food mascot threw out the first pitch at the Mets-Marlins game on June 12th and ushered in “The Grimace Era.” The team has lost since, but not without a little bounce in their steps. 

You can’t find this week’s biggest balls at the Boston Garden or Citi Field, though. You can’t even find them in this dimension. That’s because Josh Gad confirmed that he’s developing a sequel to Spaceballs, which he’s producing alongside Mel Brooks himself. Gad called the project “a dream come true” and promised fans that they’ll get everything they’ve waited 37 years for. Word to the wise, Gad: That “everything” should include Rick Moranis. 

Meanwhile, everyone on the timeline had a ball this week, too, and we’ve got the tweets to prove it. The funniest ones included those about a forgetful pet parent, a Methodist message and the cancellation of white boy summer.
