32 of the Funniest Tweets from the Week of February 19, 2024
It’s been another jam-packed week. Jimmy Kimmel might retire, Ricky Gervais inexplicably threw his hat into the ring to join the MCU and John Oliver is trying to use his wallet for good. But no one’s had a week like True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto. The mind behind the show’s groundbreaking first season hasn’t been shy about sharing his feelings about the show’s latest installment. Pizzolatto took to Instagram to slam Night Country by reposting comments that call the season a “hot mess” that “butchered” his original work.
While this was the first season Pizzolatto didn’t have a hand in writing, he did serve as an executive producer. Unfortunately for Pizzolatto, HBO believes in Night Country writer/director Issa López’s work enough to ask her to return for another season. Whereas Pizzolatto agreed with some fans that the finale was “lazy and nonsensical,” HBO called Lopez a “one-of-a-kind, rare talent that speaks directly to HBO’s creative spirit.”
In more internet-y news, the timeline has been filled to the brim with tweets that had us belly-laughing all week. The funniest ones include those about a big Beatle, how to spend your lottery winnings and a woman who gets what she wants.
