49 of the Funniest Burns from the Week of December 2, 2024
December is the least productive month of the year. The period of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas feels totally untethered from reality, and the days between Christmas and New Year’s Day are even blurrier.
Thankfully, sports talk radio host Doug Gottlieb provided the Twitter timeline with a comprehensive overview of what the month looks like for him. His calendar included a week of feigning work, two weeks of not even pretending anymore, a week of eating and drinking and then some time for gift shopping and reflection. At face value, it’s a charming little graphic, but one Twitter user pointed out that not only is Gottlieb a sports analyst, but he’s also an active head basketball coach. By their calculations, the first-year head coach of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay says he’ll be “drunk and pretending to work 23 of the 31 days this month,” which probably explains why his squad is 2-7 so far this season.
Of course, Gottlieb wasn’t the only one catching heat this week. Other digital burn victims included men who say that they’re 5-foot-9, a baker who shouldn’t attempt a second banana pudding and someone who smells like Papa John.
