36 of the Funniest Tweets from Thursday, January 2, 2025
It’s a new year, which means thousands of copyrighted works in literature, film and music are entering the public domain and are now free to be reused and repurposed without legal repercussions. Notable available “new” works include Disney’s Skeleton Dance, plucky Belgian reporter Tintin and the O.G. Popeye (you’ll have to wait a few years until you can use the sailor’s more popular iteration). Although there are no limitations as to how the content can be reimagined, most of the high-profile figures get turned into low-budget serial killers for some reason.
Elsewhere in pop culture, the Golden Globes has its date, host, nominees and a suite of presenters to announce the night’s winners. The star-studded lineup touches all corners of entertainment with comedians, musicians and actors as well as former winners returning to spread the wealth. Hollywood’s Party of the Year is set to air this Sunday, with Nikki Glaser making history as the show’s first solo female host.
While it might be a new year, the timeline is still just as funny as it was in 2024. Today’s funniest tweets include those about an SNL sketch in the air, the only realistic reading goal and a tech boom nine years in the making.
