47 of the Funniest Tweets from the Week of January 20, 2025
Last week, Paramount+ decided it had lost its appetite for tossed salad and scrambled eggs. The streamer opted against renewing Kelsey Grammar’s Frasier revival after two short seasons, but the sun’s not setting on Boston just yet. CBS Studios plans to shop the series to other outlets, including Prime Video and Hulu, for a potential third season.
While the best of the best in Hollywood celebrated their Oscar nominations on Thursday morning, the Razzies made sure not to leave out the worst of the worst. Based on literally everyone’s opinion, Joker: Folie à Deux led the pack with seven nominations, including Worst Screen Combo for stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, who also were singled out for their individually awful performances. Jerry Seinfeld was recognized for his very bad acting and very bad directing, but Unfrosted narrowly avoided a Worst Picture nod.
After a bout of online chatter, Seth MacFarlane offered some insight into one of Family Guy’s most astute observations. Fans of the show recall a 2006 episode that featured Peter Griffin’s scathing takedown of The Godfather when he stated that the film “insists upon itself.” MacFarlane logged onto Twitter to share that that oft-repeated quote was inspired by a professor of his, who thought that the Sound of Music, well, insisted upon itself.
All that said, it wouldn’t be fair to recount the week that was without mentioning the many great tweets that were posted during it. The funniest included those about treadmill divas, the duality of women and yet another revenge season for one NFL team.
