24 of the Funniest Tweets from the Week of February 26, 2024

It’s been an insane last seven days. A Glasgow-based events company promised children a “magically immersive Willy Wonka experience,” but instead delivered a poorly-decorated warehouse that adult attendees compared to “a meth lab.” Meanwhile, Kensington Palace had to issue a statement that Kate Middleton is not missing, due to Twitter speculation about the Princess of Wales’ whereabouts after she hadn’t been spotted since late last year. And as part of the promotion for Dune: Part Two, Rebecca Ferguson appeared on Reign with Josh Smith, where she told the host about the “idiot” co-star she once worked with who berated her in front of the cast and crew, asking, “You call yourself an actor? This is what I have to work with?”

The Swedish actress never mentioned anyone by name, but that didn’t stop the internet from once again putting on its collective detective cap and trawling IMDb for potential leads. Dwayne Johnson, who worked with Ferguson on Hercules, came out and said he’d “like to find out who did this” as well. The same for her Girl on the Train co-star Emily Blunt, who went on to offer her love and support. And so, people are naturally speculating that it’s tabloid magnets like Tom Cruise or Jake Gyllenhaal. Don’t rule out Jacob Tremblay either, though — child actors can be menaces. 

When not working on cracking the Ferguson case, the timeline was up to its usual hilarious hijinks. This week’s funniest tweets included those about gay couple dynamics, the ideal awards acceptance speech and Jesus serving body.
