29 of the Funniest Burns from the Week of December 4, 2023

Everyone’s got that one friend who dramatically announces a social media hiatus only to log back on days later. For some people, that friend is Selena Gomez. After another of her short-lived breaks, the former Disney Channel star has hunkered down in the comment section to argue with stan accounts in defense of her newly-confirmed relationship with producer Benny Blanco. This isn’t Gomez’s first brush with feeling compelled to stand up for herself in situations that don’t really call for it. The singer has made such a notable habit out of fighting with faceless Instagram accounts that one user noted Gomez would argue with a microwave if it beeped. Another envisioned a utopia that exists where she simply hired a social media manager. 

The combative singer isn’t the only one feeling the heat this week, though. Other virtual burn victims include the Founding Fathers of Tinder, Londoners in a hypothetical Grand Theft Auto sequel and a “comedian’s” glow-up.
