Humor is by far one of humanity's greatest skills. It's actually difficult to say how we'd survive all the problems in our lives if we didn't approach some of them with humor. Humor can be good, or it can be evil, it can please, or it can literally destroy, it can be deceitful, or it can be honest.
By the way, probably the most honest type of humor is self-deprecation, when a person perfectly understands their own shortcomings and is not averse to joking about them. After all, who knows us better than ourselves? So it’s great when, for example, doctors joke about doctors or football players joke about football players (you watched The Roast of Tom Brady, right?). So here's another wonderful selection of the best 'Black tweets,' directly from ironic and witty Afro-American people, recently found on X!

But I wouldn't dare to eat it, it looks like it fused with the plastic.
Load More Replies...I once had this bucket with a weird fitting lid, some of the reviewers said that they put the lid in their oven for a few minutes and that made it soft enough to fit on properly. Either they miss wrote, or I misread, the time to leave it in for. I ended up having to throw out two oven racks and buy replacements because I couldn't get the plastic off and I didn't want to burn it off because of how dangerous they fumes could be.
Interestingly, people have been exploring humor for centuries, asking the questions - why do we laugh at all? Why will some thing or phenomenon be damn amusing for one person, but another one will perceive it completely differently? Why do some people like light, casual humor, while others are absolutely delighted with caustic sarcasm, heavily mixed with cynicism? Finally, where did humor per se come from?
I once had someone who worked on my team who would eat chips while on the phone with customers, no mute, and he was wearing a headset, so that might picked up every chewing sound.
You can do the batusi with your batgoatee and get the whole bater-gang involved?
"I'm Batman" I like it, doubt if my wife would let me leave the house though!!
Well, evolutionary biologist Jeffrey Miller, for example, tried to answer the question about the origins of humor. In his book The Mating Mind. How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature, published in 2001, the scientist suggested that a sense of humor developed in humans under the influence of sexual selection as a kind of means of demonstrating one’s intelligence. Literally, just as a peacock shows off its bushy tail, so people have tried to shine with their humor since ancient times. However, peacocks sometimes do way better...
For those who don't know, it's a pun on the film about a black girl competing in spelling bees called "Akeelah and the Bee".
Candyman - Based on Clive Barker's short story "The Forbidden", the film follows a Chicago graduate student completing a thesis on urban legends and folklore, which leads her to the legend of the "Candyman", the ghost of an African-American artist and the son of a slave who was murdered in the late 19th century for his relationship with the daughter of a wealthy white man. .... Helen Lyle is a semiotics graduate student at the University of Illinois Chicago. While researching urban legends, she learns of the Candyman, a spirit who kills anyone that speaks his name five times in front of a mirror.
Me, over here white as hell: What do you have against Christina Aguilera? That song is so catchy.
He’s a fictional character in a film series. The character was a black man who lived in the 1900s and, if I remember correctly, was k***ed over an interracial relationship, and is back for revenge. The claim is that if you repeat his name five times in front of the mirror, you’ll summon him.

Interestingly, many researchers today do believe that laughter can really significantly improve not only our mood, but also our health in general. At least since the mid-twentieth century, the direction of so-called “laughter therapy” has been actively developing.
Within its framework, specialists use a variety of humorous techniques so that the patient better understands themselves, their own behavior and mood. Well, and laughter simply increases the potential of our knowledge, enriches us spiritually (and if you look at the income of famous standup comics, it may enrich not only spiritually).
It's fine until the dog, toddler, or breeze comes along.
Oh how I hate to eat sitting that way, kinda takes away from the joy of eating, but that's just me, sorry.
I know it's a joke, but if they've not been "fancyfied" by a priest beforehand, they're just really bland crackers and if it's all you got to snack on... 🤷♂️
So if you have grape tomatoes as your salsa base, and it ferments, can it be transubstantiated?
Absolutely not. I have done it, my extremely pale Canadian friend has done it over Discord, my mom has done it(badly cause she can't snap lol), I've heard it from my methed up neighbor...

I do this. Then I pause the movie, look up the movies cast and crew and then go to Wikipedia to find out that other movie that I know the actor from.
Be that as it may, we do hope you enjoy this collection of humor, so please feel free to scroll this list to its very end. And if you smiled at least once, it means that the goal of this post has already been achieved. And, yes, if you wrote some witty comment, it means that the goal is doubly achieved!

Black folks would have a fried catfish fillet (bones and all) in there and never shallow a single bone.
We do, and it's stupid. I think I've only ever used the memo app, which you can achieve just fine with a dry erase board!, but nooooo...my partner loves his gadgets.

3 combs in one. The pick/comb combo is normal or more common. The little bit that looks like a small fluffy paintbrush notsomuch. I am not black and don't do/have edges, but I imagine that would not be stiff enough for most hair types that would be using this.
Load More Replies...Everyone does that. Pizza, or beer, or pizza and beer, is the universal thank you gift for helping with the move.
Pizza is the unspoken rule of payment for helping someone move, whether you are black, white, yellow, purple green whatever

Ion is "I don't". Finna is fixing to/ going to.
Load More Replies...In this context it's short for "I'm gonna" and every Southerner of any color understands it. Alternative versions are "Ima" and "Imon."
Y’all “ion” means i don’t. I can’t believe people don’t know this lol. Like try pronouncing “I don’t” without the “d.” Or mumbling “I don’t know.” That is “ion.” It’s not anything special it sounds just like what it is y’all.
Thank you, I am spanish and english is not my native language so sometimes I do not know slang, acronym and similar.

Quite apart from the fact that I don't 'get' most of these there seems to be something fundamentally fücked up about the whole idea of "black tweets", even if it is black people doing the tweeting. Do they all really think that black people and white people are so different?
Community can be very important. It's not exclusionary, it's just it's own subculture kind of. You can still interact with it. If you don't 'get it', perhaps you should spend time listening and existing around people with different lived experiences. It's not a really huge gap, just given their history, is it so odd that they'd want a space for themselves?
Load More Replies...I wouldn't say that all of these are specific to black people, and i find it kinda weird we'd segregrate tweets based on that kinda thing.
Well, there's certainly segregation of generations based on perceptions, so...

Dude, you were being openly racist in your comments. Don't be yapping about "integration".

This seems really weird to just gather up tweets that happen to be by black people and put them all in one article. It didn't look like they all used the same hashtag or anything like that. Also, what the heck is an "Afro-American"? Is that a real term? And how did the "author" of this know that all the black people were American?
The slang they used is pretty clearly African American
Load More Replies...I do like, pretty much everything here and I'm so white that I make Celine Dion look like a scary black lady.
What is with the segregation. I get some of these are funny, but still...
