The Funniest Tweets of the Week

In case you missed any of the highlights last week, here they are: Sean Hannity was Michael Cohen’s secret third client, also he’s a real estate mogul apparently, Kendrick Lamar won the Pulitzer, Barbara Bush died, Mitt Romney didn’t get the Utah Senate nomination, Elon Musk did something weird probably, I don’t know, Westworld returned for another season of being terrible, Trump’s apparently been calling Sessions and Rosenstein “Mr. Magoo” and “Mr. Peepers,” respectively, good things appear to be happening on the North Korea front, and God of War came out. It’s fun! But I’m an assistant comedy editor, not an assistant games editor, so that’s all I’ll say about that. And now the tweets everyone’s clamoring to see:

INTERVIEWER: Where did you get the idea for “Chewbacca”?
GEORGE LUCAS: Well, that’s an interesting story. I was sitting in a, in my chair, one day, and I thought: What if there was a, sort of a, disgusting, sort of, dog man, in a spaceship? And I, I created this awful creature.

The first time I ever smoked weed was at a musical festival while Billy Idol was on stage. He was wearing a leather vest instead of a shirt and he kept taking it off and putting it back on, to wild applause each time. It was the worst day of my life.

Looking for someone to edit the first scene in A Quiet Place where the kid turns on the toy rocket and the monster runs out but instead of the monster it’s a second John Krasinski

I love that Donald Trump has like, 3 loser friends and he just keeps giving them jobs. He’s like the Adam Sandler of presidents. https://t.co/21Pw0lQKzb

As a New Yorker, I am a bodega sandwich. I am a subway rat. I am a goat cheese wheel from Murray’s. I am a saw mill in Albany. I am the Corning glass museum. I am lichen on the gorges of Ithaca. I am an incomprehensible New School philosophy thesis. I am a Martin Scorsese movie. https://t.co/tgPL9jq6dK

Mad Men was great and all, but I’m a huge fan of Jon Hamm’s second career popping into whatever comedy shoots near his house so he can play one of the dumbest people ever to live.

Been reading that Jordan Peterson book, and to give you a taste of his prose style, he refers to Homer Simpson as “the infamous father of the Simpson clan”.

Retracting my earlier, incorrect statement that the Pulitzer Prize for Music is awarded to “a recording that solved a crime or mystery, directly led to the solving of a crime or mystery, or was about an attempt to solve a crime or mystery.” I was thinking of the Podcast Pulitzer.
