50 of the Funniest Tweets from the Week of June 10, 2024
It’s been a big week for meetings. Given that Pope Francis is in hot water for uttering a highly offensive F-word, he decided to try a much more universally beloved one instead: funny. The Holy Man held a summit with 100 of the funniest comics from around the world, including Stephen Colbert, Whoopi Goldberg, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Ramy Youssef. Speaking of humor, Donald Trump had a meeting of his own with more than 80 prominent CEOs, where he promised tax cuts and plenty of deregulation if they open their purse strings and get him back into the White House. But according to sources who spoke to CNBC, the former president was more of a laughingstock than a laugh riot.
And finally, there was a meeting of The Office past and future. During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Steve Carell shared an anecdote about his Patient co-star Domhnall Gleeson, who is set to appear in the new Office spin-off The Paper. Carell told Fallon that Gleeson called him and asked, “Should I do this? Did you enjoy it?” before agreeing to sign on to the Peacock reboot. Just don’t expect Carell to make an appearance himself, he’s still rejecting that possibility outright.
Meanwhile, per usual, the timeline served as the perfect meeting place for amateur comedians. This week’s funniest tweets included those about a cinematic challenge, the beauty of summer in the U.K. and the chilling sound of the doorbell.
