45 of the Funniest Tweets from the Week of November 25, 2024
Despite a number of comedians expressing remorse for engaging in “regrettable” projects back in the early aughts, one pair of brothers are sticking to their guns, no matter how shallow it makes them seem.
Although Jack Black admitted that he’s “not proud” of his role in Shallow Hal, the Farrelly Brothers think their “real beauty” of a film still stands the test of time. On the other end of the spectrum, Ben Stiller is under no such delusions about Tropic Thunder. He recently told Collider that the film’s specific brand of satire is “harder to do” in today’s cultural environment, noting that Robert Downey Jr.’s blackface character would be “incredibly dicey” to pull off now.
In SNL news, Bowen Yang revealed the “weird, chaotic” Garbage Party that cast members throw every holiday season. The annual bash takes place after the final read-through of the year, and involves Lorne Michaels playing the role of Santa Claus, while everyone else brings whatever “garbage” they can think of (from Jell-O shots to Funko Pops).
Speaking of SNL, Andy Samberg admitted that he isn’t supposed to be on the show anymore, but that he stuck around for another week when he learned of Charli XCX’s hosting gig because he “thought it might be D-O-P-E” to record music with her.
The gang at Abbott Elementary definitely has a lot to celebrate. The Season Four premiere has racked up major numbers, with its opening episode up 321 percent in its first month on streaming, amassing nearly 9 million total viewers. The increase in viewership marks Abbott Elementary’s best performing episode since Bradley Cooper guest-starred back in March.
Thankfully, the timeline isn’t taking any holiday breaks and continues to provide its regular helping of hilarious tweets. This week’s funniest included those about a sign of old age, a curious reply guy and a man inspired by Dave Matthews Band.
