Recent Tweets That Will Make You Laugh and Cry at the Same Time

Just what you needed but didn't know to ask for.

Some posts are funny because they are clever, and others are funny because they are just plain ridiculous. This roundup leans into both, with tweets that bounce between absurd, awkward, and unexpectedly relatable.

The mix works because the jokes come from everyday life, random observations, and the kind of online chaos Twitter does best. There is no big setup here, just a steady stream of posts that land in very different ways.

Humor is the tendency of experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The term comes from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks.

The theory is that the balance of fluids in the human body, known as humors (Latin: humor, "body fluid"), controls human health and emotion.

A person's sense of humor is shaped by personal taste, geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence, context, and more. For example, young children may favor slapstick and cartoons with chases and falls, whose physical nature makes them accessible to them.

On the other hand, sophisticated forms of humor require an understanding of their social meaning and context, and thus tend to appeal to a more mature audience. And Twitter is the best place to find intelligent humor.

So, what do you think about the posts? Did they make you laugh?

We particularly enjoyed the one about experimenting with mac and cheese. We only wish we’d seen it sooner because it would have saved us from a lot of embarrassment.

It is something that should not be tampered with. Ever.
