48 of the Funniest Tweets from the Week of June 24, 2024

This week came and went in the blink of an eye. A new season of FX’s Emmy-winning series The Bear dropped all at once, Lisa Kudrow started binge-watching Friends after years of avoiding seeing herself on-screen and Bob Belcher finally got to taste sweet, sweet revenge as former Jimmy Pesto voice actor Jay Johnston pleaded guilty to his involvement in the January 6th insurrection. 

But perhaps the wildest piece of news was that Netflix’s runaway hit Baby Reindeer almost had a very different actress in a very pivotal role. According to Variety, Richard Gadd’s agents pushed for Melissa McCarthy to play the role of Martha in Gadd’s semi-autobiographical series. McCarthy is no stranger to dramatic roles — her Oscar nominated performance in 2018’s Can You Ever Forgive Me? is probably the best example — but she was ultimately uninterested. 

Entertainment news wasn’t the only thing filling up the week, though — we got some great tweets, too. This week’s funniest included those about a new name for lingerie, a smart uncle and how to handle small claims court.
