When I think about comedy, the first thing that comes to mind is comedy shows, stand-ups, and the iconic SNL. But a lot of the time, comedy gold can be found in none other than social media posts, which are influenced by the greatest comedian - life itself.
A platform like Twitter, now referred to as X, is full of people sharing their humorous stories that inspired an Instagram page called reallydumbtweets to compile all of the best finds into one hilarious collection. From their 4000+ posts, we have selected the ones that stuck out the most to share with you, Pandas. So without further ado, let’s dive into this list, and let us know in the comments which tweet made you chuckle the most.

Social media has become the modern-day stage for the world's comedic geniuses. From regular people who just had a funny story to share to actual comedians, we can encounter some of the funniest content online.
Humor, often regarded as a lighthearted and entertaining aspect of life, is paradoxically a very serious business. Beneath the surface of any good joke lies a complex interplay of psychology, culture, and communication. While jokes and comedic performances aim to provoke amusement, their impact extends far beyond mere laughter.
I actually like being an adult, other than all the stupid paperwork.
Comedians are skilled artists and it can take months or years to craft a perfect joke, story, and routines that connect with their audiences. Comedy is a form of creative expression that requires originality, timing, and an understanding of human nature.
However, the world of comedy is not without its challenges, and one of the most contentious issues is the act of joke stealing. This problem in an age of social media and influencers is continuing to escalate and is especially discouraging for the creators, when their work shared on their original accounts gets less interaction than when it's reposted without credit by larger accounts or individuals with a larger following. This not only undermines the hard work and creativity of the original comedians but also highlights the complexities of intellectual property and digital ethics in the modern age.
One the other hand, my 3 year old wakes up at 5:00 and, with more glee than any human should have at that hour, annouces to the house, "ITS MORNING TIME EVERYBODY!!"
However, not all is bad when it comes to sharing your work online. The internet allows comedians to be exposed to a global pool of talent which provides opportunities for collaboration and growth. So whether these people who are featured in this list are sharing their craft as comedians or just as everyday people, their talent has not gone unnoticed, and we are glad that we were able to share their hilarious jokes with you today.
If you feel like this list was not enough for you today, we have found a few previous posts shared on Bored Panda containing hilarious tweets. From funny and questionable Tweets to the best and worst of Twitter, you are bound to find the entertainment you were looking for.
Well excuse me but this thirtysomething doesn't like wearing a raincoat because it gets all gross and sweaty inside.
Or a mysterious lady dressed all in black with a black umbrella who smokes a cigarette a bit in the distance
😂 my name has been Caca for over 20 years! Recently it's been upgraded to Cacky!
I've been "Aunt Gay-gie" for almost 20 years now. They're all grown up and can properly pronounce words, but "Gay-gie" never died.

Queen Elizabeth II was called 'Gary' as Prince William (as a toddler) could not say Granny. hehehe
My paternal grandfather was called Adda, because I tried to call everyone Dadda. He's been dead half a century, but he's still referred to as Adda in the family
Haha, my grandad was called Poppops, and still is even though he's been dead 20 years. I also had a close schoolfriend named Maria-Christina who everyone called Kissy because her younger brother couldn't pronounce her name
Went to school with a girl that everyone called Dee. Every now and then we'd have to do a thing were we told everyone our full names. Turns out her name is Cynthia and there's nothing in her name that begins with a D. Everyone asked the obvious. Turns out her older brother who was learning to speak when she was a baby couldn't pronounce her name (or the shortened form of Cindy) and kept calling her Dee so the name stuck. For myself, I could not pronounce my aunt's name when I was learning to speak. Her name was Geraldine and, given the good ol' North Carolina accents we have, I kept calling her Gerdine. Finally she said "just call me Aunt (pronounced like ain't)" so for forty years until she passed in 2021 that's what everyone called her.
My family is notorious for nick names that are just regular names. Majority of the revelations of relatives real names were in my adulthood. I am nearly 40 and just found out in July that my one aunts name wasn't her real name; I really thought I knew it l by now.

My friends (siblings) call their grandparents gummy and bumpy because the oldest kid couldn't say grandma and grandpa, but tbh Gummy and Bumpy is pretty iconic
When my daughter was expecting my first grandchild, there was tremendous discussion about what they would call ME. Grandma and granny were right out because I always view a grandma or granny sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair with a shotgun across her lap and that ain't me. I suggested "Mimi," which is cute and is also a diminutive of my actual name, but my kids knew a Mimi that they hated so they nixed that. We finally settled on Gigi, which even sounds cute when toddlers are learning to talk.
Beep = grandfather in my husband's family. We have a great friend called Bim. I didn't find out till years later his name is really George.
When my first niece was little she couldn't say "Grammy" which is what my mother in law wanted to be called by her first grad child but my niece couldn't say it so she called her Mimi. Twenty eight years later and six more grandkids and they all call her Mimi. At least Mimi is a cute name.
My oldest son called my mom "mam" or "mammy" it's just the name he picked for her. My niece called me "Nanny" because my mom joked that I was pretty much the live in nanny, and she still calls me that, as well as her younger brother. (I had moved out before he was born.) But I'll always be Nanny, or Aunt Nanny.
So I have an Uncle, that for some reason I can't remember, I started calling him Uncle Fred when I was teenager and it just stuck to this day. I was visiting with my Auntie and Uncle last weekend and their 6yo granddaughter was there. The 6yo had asked me if she could have something and I told her to go ask Uncle Fred and she had no clue who I was talking about haha. I then said go ask Papa but later explained that I had not called him Uncle Danny in so long that I forgot his actual name is not Fred...lol
When my mum was little she couldn't say her brothers name Chris, she used to call him kip and Lord knows why but the name stuck and even me and dad use it now
I work at a daycare. My name is now either Eshmaya or Ehsmeeah. My real name is Samaria...
My dad was Boompa to the grands. He was big (6'3") and had a deep booming voice.
When my niece was pregnant, her mom and my brother decided on titles. Of course mom was Nana. My brother chose Mongo (from Blazing Saddles).
It’s not just for old people, sadly. When I was a baby and my sibling was 2 I was dubbed something not even relatively close to my name and I go by that everyday with my family. It’s a d!ckname.
I know a guy who was called "poo" because one of his grandkids mispronounced grandpa. Could be worse. Just sayin'...
I called one of my grandmas "Country Grandma" cuz we live in St. Louis and she lived in the Ozarks. So I decide I'm too old to call her that. Instead of just saying Grandma, I yell "C**T!!!" really loud in Walmart. This is not Australia. She was embarrassed.
I have a cousin who calls my mother "Crack". My mother's name barely even comes close to Crack. Also, she's been free from illegal drugs for 59 years, despite being born in the 60s.
I just called my sister Sheesha the other day. She's been called that for about sixty years. Her name is Lisa. Damn my infant tongue and it's longevity.
Fortunately my toddler nephew has amazingly good pronunciation for his age, and figured out how to say my name correctly right off! But not to worry; there's still his little sister. :p
Mine is "Moto". When my granddaughter Chloe was a baby I used to tickle her tummy and blow raspberries on it saying "Hello Moto", in the same voice as the Motorola phone commercial. So, I became "Moto".
My ex-boyfriend's grandfather was called "Gacki". I guess someone couldn't pronounce grandpa. I called him Mr. G.
I always liked the story of small Prince William falling over and shouting "Gary! Gary!" for help. So who was Gary? The Queen. He couldn't manage "Granny".
My grandma was called Magas cause as a tot i had isses with compound words (would swap the words) so id call her MaGa (instead of GaMa) and then magas just stuck :) and my childhood bff's grandma was called Burr
My last name is very similar to yours, mine has an a instead of your o...lol

The tough part is when you're only 42 when your name changes to grampa and you are symbolically old from then on.
My oldest cousin used to mispronounce or even make up names in a hilarious way when he was a toddler. And those names stuck ever since. So my dad became "Teuteu", my uncle was "Otro"... and my mother, "Cagou", which made my Brazilian girlfriend laugh a lot when we told this to her, since in Portuguese "cagou" means "I shat".
Yup, my grandfather was known as Tata because I couldn’t say Papa
and then complain and demand a refund if he takes longer than 30 min
I have a friend who's autistic and last time I visited her, when she got sick of me she just straight up said something like "okay I want you to leave now". I appreciated the honesty and went home!
My high school started at 7:30 am. By 8 we were ready for lunch. I took an 8am math class in college and it felt like the middle of the night. :) Now that I work from home I roll out of bed 2 minutes before my start time. I haven't even seen 8am in years now.
I explained to my kids that the "light up headphones" and "sparkly jump rope" can be bought for a few dollars at the store down the street. I just donate $50 to the school and go buy their prizes 😆.
I've worked in food, I would NOT work in retail. I'd probably last a week before getting either fired or arrested.

Elon Musk refuses to acknowledge his trans daughter, so everybody should call ‘X’ Twitter still.
How is renaming it X going to fix any of the recent problems with twitter?
I think Elon got tired of being the head twit.
