June. Jeez. Some would say it’s been nothing short of a global disaster. You’d be forgiven for wanting to stay off the internet this month to avoid the constant bombardment of bad news.
But those who braved the socials might have noticed that among the chaos were glimmers of hope for humanity in the form of epic humor. Many, as usual, could be found on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
If you missed them, don't worry. As always, Bored Panda has put together a list of the top funny tweets of the month. They prove that despite the horrors of the world, people will always find a way to lift each other up with a good dose of laughter. Kick back, take a few deep breaths and keep scrolling to cleanse your aura before another month of madness begins.
We also look back at this month's (almost-forgotten) explosive social media feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and remember the hilarious reactions from the online peanut gallery. You'll find that between the pics.

So much has gone down this month - sadly, quite literally - that you might have forgotten the war of words between the owner of the world's funniest platform and the leader of the United States, and how it led to a flurry of hilarious tweets and memes from flabbergasted netizens.
At the beginning of June, jaws dropped as Elon Musk and Donald Trump went head-to-head in a series of explosive tweets. The once besties hurled insults and threats at each other, as the world watched in amazement.
It was nothing short of an extraordinary public feud, which was sparked by Trump's tax and spending cuts package. Instead of settling their differences in private, the men took to their respective social media platforms to air the dirty laundry.
On June the 3rd, the angry billionaire decided all bets were off, and posted that Trump's “massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.”
Trump responded by saying he was "very disappointed" with the world's richest man for criticizing his tax cuts package. “Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
But the billionaire didn't stop. He kept taunting the president with a series of tweets. One in particular raised many eyebrows.
"Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate," Musk claimed.
It descended into further chaos with Trump posting that the U.S. government could save billions of dollars in its budget by terminating the contracts and subsidies awarded to Musk’s companies.
Musk later claimed that the U.S president is "in" the Epstein files. "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public," he tweeted.
Nathaniel? Granddad? Can any of you across the pond confirm or deny this?
Once people had recovered from the initial shock of seeing two of the world's most powerful men exchanging blows, it didn't take long for the jokes to start pouring in. Because, as we know, what would X be without a few well-placed one-liners?
The mother of one of Musk’s children, Ashley St. Clair, entered the ring, offering Trump breakup advice. "hey @realDonaldTrump lmk if u need any breakup advice," she quipped.
"LET ME HOST THE REUNION!" late-night talk show host Andy Cohen posted on X.
Hey, i'm 5'8 and my 6'1 bf sits on my lap and he is like an adorable little puppy. Own your height!!
Even Dmitri Medvedev, the former Russian president and Russian prime minister, couldn't resist. He threw his two cents in with a good dose of sarcasm.
"We are ready to facilitate the conclusion of a peace deal between D and E for a reasonable fee and to accept Starlink shares as payment. Don't fight, guys," he posted on X.
Ordinary netizens were quick to create memes, mocking the bromance and break-up. But the peanut gallery wasn't confined to X...
A concerned stranger approached me in the grocery store asking me if I was alright. I had just walked about 30 minutes, and I was as pale as a sheet. He thought I was having a stroke.
Having worn glasses since the age of six and needing them to see, I cannot relate to that. If the glasses aren't on my face they are in only one of three places (if they aren't in one of those places I have a difficult time seeing to find them, thus the putting them in only 3 places). How about the one about walking into a room and forgetting why you went there?
"Siri, play 'Bad Blood,'" said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on BlueSky.
While a Canadian Ocean conservation researcher went viral for her post on the same platform... "This is like Drake and Kendrick Lamar but they're both Drake," wrote Anna Hughes.
Has he at LEAST been cleaning out all the coins? Wasted opportunity otherwise.
The reactions were indicative of how social media has become better than the cinema at times. And how, no matter what chaos is erupting around them, netizens will always find time for a good laugh.
With June wrapping up after what seemed to feel like a super-long and eventful month, we're getting the popcorn out as we wait to see what July brings to the table, and the social media streets.
He's laughing at you because you're driving on the wrong side of the road!! ::raises fists in pugilist stance, awaiting the first retaliatory salvo of WWIII that she just began with that comment:: XD
Context is needed. Is the wedding at a commune in Oregon? If so, perfect dress.
This is why I go to police auctions. At least there they will tell you the car was owned by criminals.
I have occasionally been known to get in an elevator, press the button for the floor I'm already on, then stand there wondering why it's not going anywhere.
I used to boast I was the best worker in my department (I was the only one). I put smarter than the average bear on a review.
My current record is 2 managers fired over this 😊 don’t send unsolicited nudes to your coworkers, friends!
As heard on "Wait,Wait": "It's a breast enhancement/bandage company."
No wait for real - my friend wanted me to join our local “running club” with her. They meet 2-3 times a week and do this run on this trail which is a perfect loop circuit around our town. But it costs $50 a month to join. I asked her what would happen if I just showed up and ran behind them 😂 (I didn’t, I support what they’re trying to do, but still haha)
Shower... curtain? People normally get to have shower curtains?! XD My mom installed completely-clear plate glass doors on all the showers in the house years ago. Zero privacy. It's not even frosted glass. Just totally clear glass. It's unhinged. XD
Kinda like the guy who got lacerated at work, (rural area) drove 25 miles to the company doctor and decided to have a couple weed hits on the way. Bad decision as they d**g tested him for work comp claim.
Aw man I haven’t flown a kite in decades. Remember that feeling? 😊 getting it up in the air felt like such an accomplishment
Ha, same for me, and I'm not even genetically related to them, I'm adopted, but somehow still ended up with the worst of their traits mixed together XD
I remember being maybe 7 or 8 and finding a box of VHS tapes shoved in the very back of my parents' closet in their bedroom upstairs. I was a very nosy child and I was always poking into the places I wasn't supposed to be (this is also how I discovered I am adopted, lol.) The VHS tapes all had labels that were written in my dad's handwriting. I remember there was "Deep Throat" and "Debbie Does Dallas". Did I watch them, you ask...? Let's just say it's been over three decades, but I could still sing you the theme song to "Deep Throat".
Okay, so, I've been hearing the ice cream truck again lately since it's summer now. It hasn't rolled through my neighborhood at a time when I've been at home yet, but I'll catch it if it kills me. My only problem is that I haven't carried cash for a while now XD I wonder if the ice cream truck dude carries Squarepay or something nowadays...
Google to my rescue: “The term "kids in holes" likely refers to the characters in the book and movie "Holes" by Louis Sachar. In the story, a group of juvenile delinquents are sent to Camp Green Lake, a work camp in the Texas desert, where they are forced to dig holes every day. The protagonist, Stanley Yelnats, is wrongly convicted of a crime and sent to the camp.”
I’m convinced California’s electrical grid is hooked up to Jobs and they power the whole state by making him spin in his grave
Jokes on you, my bf lost his hair as a teenager and is still bald today HA. He’s also handsome as heck.
I can’t eat clam chowder any more, because once I dated a guy who I was EXTREMELY attracted to and was trying to impress - we drank way too much one night and fell asleep at his, and I was super hungover when we woke up. Trying not to puke while having a coffee with him and trying to figure out a cool way of leaving ASAP without seeming weird (long story but trust me). He decided to make us clam chowder for breakfast, with a side of reheated soggy slimy leftover zucchini 🥲 I’ve never been so nauseous in my life.
I never understand what they expect when they do these. Have they never noticed that when you put a ball of cookie dough on the sheet, it flattens as it cooks?
As I understand it, DisplayPort is looking to replace HDMI. Apparently, it has some technical advantages over HDMI, but I expect HDMI to hang on for quite some time. In other news, be glad you don't have Chinchillas. They *LOVE* to floss with ANY kind of cable - and they have opposable thumbs and are nocturnal! Our two ate through three network backbones (CAT6), some coax, and were working hard on a couple of PC Power Cords before we caught them just in time.
Many of these had me muttering "What?" to myself, but I suppose if you're a youngster they make sense!
