Despite having a 280-character limit, people on X are crafting some of the most comical content you can find online. And what’s not to love about it? The posts are short, sweet, and funny, perfectly appealing to our attention spans, which are seemingly shrinking by the minute.
The Instagram account “Omg Story Time” collects the crème de la crème of humorous content on X, which we’re featuring today as a little treat for doing your best all week. Keep scrolling to find them, and be sure to upvote the ones that made you uncontrollably chuckle.
While you're at it, don't forget to check out a conversation with stand-up comedians Shaun Eli and Jeremy Nunes, who kindly agreed to provide us with a few insights on why X became a hub for funny content.

Aaaw, that is SO sweet. I did not do such a good deed but I asked an old lady to get halve of a deal with me on sweets because her daughter was very dismissive, telling her it‘s stupid or something. It was 5 bags of gummies for 5€. That‘s cheap, if you do not know, but neither of us wanted 5 bags. If you bought less, you would pay 2€ for one. So I offerd her to take the deal together. She got 3 and I took 2 and we payed each our own 1€ per bag.
That is very nice, but I don't understand why it's listed under "people with impeccable humor."
I saw this tweet years ago (check the date, it’s from 2018) and the exact words have struck with me ever since. I too plan to do this when I get my official medical license soon thanks to this random lady.
It's common, even in the US. My wife doesn't use my name - but Dr. WineDrinker2022 isn't much of a surname.
these days people should just do whatever they want. I've had the same neighbors for over 20 years and he/she have different last names. Nobody cares. It used to matter waaaay back when property and legal rights and such followed the man's name. Maybe still true in some countries (I don't know) but not really a thing in western culture for a very long time.
The big issue here is why a woman is expected to take on her husbands name in the first place.
I respect my wife! I was a working 'single' dad to 5 kids so she could go back to 2yrs of college, 4 of med school and 2 of residency. She became Dr Jones instead of Dr Gardner. Still married for 47 years.
When we married, I kept my name and my wife kept hers. We're married, changing all passport, bank, deeds and everything would be too much hassle. Who cares anyway?
I can’t find a definition for “DANNSIS.” Help me out, please? (I assume it’s what makes it funny and not sad, right?)
Or childfree couples, depending on whether the lack of children is seen as a deficiency or not.

"When someone gives me the quarter of a million pounds that it costs to raise a child in the UK. And that doesn't even include private health insurance or school/university fees." Be blunt: one of the main reasons people don't have kids are because they cannot afford to.
I'm 68, childless and as contented as can be. EDIT: Technically I'm a childless dog lady. 😂
If you're childless in US, you better not have cats too. A certain VP candidate will take issue with it
To get expert insights on why X (formerly Twitter) is a place where funny people thrive, we reached out to stand-up comedian Shaun Eli, who has been called one of America’s smartest comics.
He believes that there are two main reasons why there’s so much hilarious content on the social media platform. First, he says, “It's a popular medium with a huge user base, so it's a place for comedians to get noticed and have their content shared (or stolen, for that matter).”
My then 17 year-old daughter hosted a party for about 12 of her friends. My wife and I stayed upstairs watching TV until we heard the kids leave. When we came out to say goodbye, they had all worked together and cleaned up the entire downstairs. We were amazed. My daughter and her friends were theatre and choir kids. I think that had something to do with how nice and responsible they are. Also, if you ever get the chance to have a dozen high school choir kids sing "Happy Birthday", don't miss it; it's special.
Lol, that's my 18yo. "I can't have my friend over for three days. I can't be responsible for cleaning and cooking for her on top of what I do"
My hubby used to have parties when he was a teenager and his parents were out of town. They always did a good job cleaning up except for once when someone left a piece of pizza stuck to the kitchen window. A thorough grounding ensued.
My son had a few parties around age of 16 and all his friends cleaned up too .....most of them were Young Firefighters and others just good friends
just to confirm every else feels dead exhausted every bit of every day no matter how much you sleep and nap or if you sleep less and it affects your day to day because you have awful brain fog and just general gut wrenching tiredness?
Also the "all episodes at once" releases destroyed something precious about shows. No week-long suspense after a cliffhanger episode. Also if you don't binge it on day one, you can't discuss it anywhere because people will spoil it for you and it's somehow your fault because you should have binged it.
A tv show in USA ended tge season on a ciffhanger and the whole country was in a tizzy the whole summer. Who Shot JR? Dallas.
Load More Replies...Mini series were an actual commitment! Remember younglings, this was before the cloud, Tivo, or even domestic VHS were actual things. If you wanted to see something you had to be there every week for the twenty weeks, or whatever, it ran for. No shouting “pause it for a minute” while you make a brew, no saving it for when you got home, no saving it up and binge watching when you had a few days off. You had to commit to being sat down waiting at, for example, half past eight every Thursday evening, from September through the holidays and into the next year. That sort of commitment meant that stuff had to be good to make sure it was actually watched.
When episodes were on once a week and you had to plan your whole week around it!!
And if you missed one, you'd have to hope for a summer re-run or it would be gone forever.

Or you've followed a specific author who finishes one 500-1000 pg novel every 5 years or so and when number 7 comes out, they make a movie or a series out of it, and suddenly everyone is an expert.
Secondly, he suggests, “It's easy enough to type your thoughts so anybody can find an audience for their content, pro comics, or anybody else.”
A fellow stand-up comedian and author of the humor book "You Can't Write City Hall," Jeremy Nunes, agrees with the fact that people can find their audience much easier and faster on X, no matter the kind.
"If you want to be the guy who makes jokes and represents vegetarians, you can be active with those groups and influencers. If you want to do the same for the carnivore crowd, you can be active with those groups and influencers. Likewise, if you want to troll and heckle those groups, you can find them."

The garbage men in my city when on strike once. In summer. They should be more appreciated.
Nothing but respect and love for the sanitation crew. And the "burger flippers". But those are the usual job threats. What should we use instead? What is the ultimate clusterfuck of a job that no human should ever want? Toenail clipper? Butt waxer?
The statement " you wont be able to carry a calculator around with you all of the time" always makes me laugh.
The ultimate no-stress job. Show up, do the work, go home and don't have to think about it again until the next shift.
Where I live, the sooner the garbage men get their work done, the sooner they get to go home. I wish my job was like that
He further explains, "As a general user, the algorithm learns what types of content you tend to interact with and feeds you more of that. Instead of the old TV-watching experience of flipping channels to find what you want, Twitter knows what you want and gives it to you. It's like Twitter is the dad that really wants his kid to love him—he's giving that kid everything he could possibly want!"

We had no internet, no way of fact checking anything; everything we thought we knew was going on in the world came via TV and newspapers and we had no reason to mistrust them. I'd love a youngster to explain how we were supposed to change anything about those things listed with no internet, no way of communicating with hundreds/thousands/millions of other people, when those exact issues are still going on today and younger people can do nothing about it because its the way governments want the world to be, exactly the same as in our day. Stop whining and do something about the state the world is in now before blaming others who had way less opportunity to change things.
Sure, sure. Of course. Every boomer is personally responsible for all of that. They didn't spend decades trying to survive, learning to skimp on poor wages (surprise, that existed then too!), making their own clothes, cooking at home instead of buying fast food, driving the same car for 20 years, getting stuck in loveless or abusive marriages because women couldn't get credit or get a divorce, taking care of elderly parents and their own kids on one income, passing up school because they had to go to work to help out the family. Instead, they were all rich, with 6 houses and 12 cars each, and a 4 month vacation in Europe every year. They're not living solely on social security! Or collecting crappy pensions that stay the exact same amount no matter how many years they get it, oh wait, THAT can actually run out too. Blame them go ahead.

Just to clarify, this is NOT normal parenting behaviour, and if you can relate to this, your parents were abusive/a**holes.
Not remotely true; my dad used to say this to us to stop us whining about trivial rubbish. He'd rather have cut his arm off than hit me or my sister; he never laid a finger on us. We knew he'd never do anything but it still worked to shut us up

Eli suggests that spoken and written comedy, like on X, have some things in common, such as putting the actual punch part of the punchline (the surprise) at the very end. This component is very important if you want to make people laugh, whether it’s on X or a stand-up stage.

Girl, that's how the system works. Why merge several km before the lane closes, it creates a traffic jam despite several km of empty lane.
Up voting your comment to counter the down vote. People who dont know how to merge are self centred pricks.
Load More Replies...Sorry, but that's exactly how zipper merge is supposed to be done. I understand the fuming on an emotional level, but cueing up and clogging the one continuous lane WAY before it's neccessary just makes the jam start earlier and last longer.
But they dont zipper. The people in the closed lane will all keep going.
Load More Replies...I'm going to get downvoted but I think this person is not referring to merging per se but ie: a road near me is being worked on, everyone is usually backed up into one lane, because there is a huge sign that says left lane for left turn only. People will speed past the rest and cut people off to get past the traffic in the right lane. I have seen people literally keep going straight in that lane because someone will not let them over and almost hit the car in the right lane to get around the barrier blocking the left lane from going straight. People can be rude and selfish.
Someone should tell them that this is the recommended way. If they wanted the lane empty earlier in the field, they would have closed it at that point. Doing ut the "kailey" way described here causes longer lines. Pluss their wreck, when people follow the guide-lines. Dont be like Kailey
I can understand that 100%. I always make it a point to let one car in, and that's it. Judge and Jury.
That's all you're obligated to do with a proper zipper merge.
Load More Replies...The state of Wisconsin gives very clear instructions: "When you see a Lane Closed Ahead sign, continue to drive in your lane until you are prompted to merge." It's called a zipper merge. You take turns AT the point where the lane closes, not before, and it is the most efficient method.
I read a FB post by one of those people just last week. They were talking about (local construction) and how everyone was merging over to the left lane long before they needed to. The idiot seemed to be convinced this was slowing down traffic and that if traffic stayed in two lanes until the very last part where it was one lane, that would somehow speed up the traffic.
Yes, because that will speed up the single file line going through the choke point /s
Load More Replies...Sounds like Ireland. My hubby is always ridiculing drivers in the UK leaving lanes empty way before it finally closes
”Once people get the joke, you're finished, so any extraneous words after that just serve to interrupt. Almost every punchline can be reworded to make sure that it ends with an actual surprise,” says Eli.
I have songs for all of my pets (5) and my partner just rolls their eyes. But then I caught them singing the dog his song!!
I was once sat on the sofa cuddling and kissing my dog when my partner came home wet and tired. I carried on with the dog and after a couple of minutes he said "I could get jealous, you know" For goodness sake, get your priorities right Hoomin.
Just pull out your application for the "He-Man Woman Haters Club." Tell her that you and Spanky are tight. That'll send a strong message to her.
I always ask if I can pet someone's dog. never touch someone's ANYTHING without permission. thanks peep🫶
We had been away for two weeks, and at the airport I saw a handler training one of the dogs. It was barely out of the puppy stage and SO cute. So I said to the man, “I’ve been away from my dogs for two weeks and I miss them so much! I know this fellow is working, but please, could I just give him a snuggle?” He actually said yes! And I got a few minutes with a sweet little Golden who had kisses for me. I think that was the best part of the trip!

Flashback to my elementary school (kids aged 5-12)... We had "being your pet to school" day every year; from dogs, cats, birds and fish to cows and horses! And "go around the neighborhood and pick up garbage" day. You won by how many truckloads you found. I remember finding a mattress of two. ... We had a school pig. Cute baby pot belly pig. It got bigger and started trying to hump all the kids... If you think I grew up in the South, think again. Small town BC, Canada (now you understand the Olympic gold medalist for Hammer toss better. 🤣)

omg, fond memories of that day being a 'holiday' when I was a kid! our school even made us take a hunter's safety course, complete with test--I still have my patch from passing it!
Even though there might not be a secret formula that can teach people to create funny tweets, knowing the basic joke structure might help. Usually, there are two parts to it: a setup and a punchline, which Eli has already mentioned.
The former introduces the topic the joke will be about, and the latter, as discussed previously, takes it in an unexpected direction. Playing with words, like using puns, is also one way to achieve comedic effect in written jokes.

In fact, Nunes believes that X works similarly to comedy in general. "Because of the character limit, you have to be quick and to the point, just like standup. It also works the same as when my son is explaining how he got into trouble. I have to say, "Ok, let's fast forward to the part where you got sent to the principal's office."

I know professional comedians who have stopped posting there for that reason.”

I have had many students tell me they will remember things from my class much more than the "memorize and forget tests".
Thank you thank you! This is exactly my point: "memorize and forget tests"
Load More Replies...No. Some stuff people just need to know. That's the entire point of exams like this. No matter how powerful the brain is, without knowledge for it to process, it can't accomplish anything.
I study programming. Every developer I've spoken to has told me nobody expects anything to be memorized, and even professionals look up basic things like syntax because it changes constantly. Research is a skill. So, I agree with the original post. Plus, passing an exam does not mean the person knows the material. There's a reason many people forget the content shortly after the test ends.

It helps with mental math, especially at younger ages.

I was always great at coursework and terrible at exams - with my illness and the medication I take, it makes me forgetful, so my memory is absolutely awful! But it doesn't mean I'm any less smart, and exams should reflect that and not a memory test.
As a teacher, I can say that your teachers could and should have found a way of scheduling your tests away from your medication intakes.
Load More Replies...The truth is that there shoudl be both things. A factual memory test that is closed book, and conceptual mastery tests that allow you to rely on reference material. While conceptual mastery is the most important thing, there is still value in wrote memorization. Facts provide the scattered reference points on the map that will help you deduce the whole picture
Amen! In med school, there was actually a time when I could list the branches of the thoracoacromial artery. As an endocrinologist, that knowledge is long gone, though I am up to date on endocrine stuff, especially metabolic bone disease. We incorporate what we need and use.
Load More Replies...So the idea is that there's no need to actually learn anything except for how to read and how to use an index? Why not go all the way and just let everyone use the voice activated browser and text-to-speech answers? Seriously, though, the point of exams is to show that you know the answers, or how to work out mathematical problems, etc, and not to show that you know how to look up an answer in a book.
That's a valid point but not applicable all of the time just as the inverse isn't. Sometimes memorization is more important, sometimes being able to apply abstract logic behind something is more important. There are subjects and instructors where they know you know the material and the test is just a requirement/formality. Others times there's no way you're going to memorize 75 individual formulas or formulations. And yet others where you're it's about the logic behind what you're doing so they don't want/need you to worry about things you'll always be able to look up anyway. It all depends on the circumstance.

It's tear, like crying. But it means that when you comb out the hair, it won't get knotted, thus "no tears". It does not mean the shampoo itself will not cause tears.
Load More Replies...There is one explanation: when you grew up (and your parents weren't inconvenienced by a fighting toddler anymore), and three possible solutions: 1) when next time your parents buy your shampoo throw a teary tantrum, 2) deal with the pain like an adult (which just might fall unter toxic masculinity advice), and 3) buy baby shampoo - nobody needs to know it's for you, and if you're embarrassed by the bottle adorning your child-free bath refill it into and empty adult bottle. (Wouldn't work for my long tresses, but everybody's different) Life's too short for avoidable inconveniences.

if you are working at a good company, they'll organize "moments" from time to time, with live music, food, and drinks (of course), starting at 10:00...
Margaritas are for breakfast, silly . . . 10am is time to fix something stronger.
Well of course he remembered that's why he didn't get you the strawberry.
I wake up as an ugly, smelly trash goblin but after a nice hot shower I step out as an ugly trash goblin who smells a bit nicer.
Cheers Captain Ravioli! Have your fun and never stop!
Or I know that he was a participant in one of his friend's Only Fans videos
Or that you sewed the fly in his undies shut once because you were mad at him and he never noticed until he needed to pee. True story.
If she is not smart enough to dump him NOW, she should change the labels on all of the ingredients and then dump him
It is not possible to make the ingredients for one single pancake. Whenever i try i always get enough for at least six.
RIGHT! I look at the recipe, then cut it in half, and still end up with 6 full pancakes.

Legit Xennial question - is, "tell me why" in this context new? I've seen it a few times now and it's so out of place, and is this the time when I start yelling at clouds?
Xennial here and I don't think the usage of Tell me why... is new. I use this phrase quite frequently, actually. Maybe it's just a regional thing and not an age thing? 🤷♀️ I was born in 85 and I live in MA.

👍👍 It's really hard to get what the story is at first. I cannot stand these lazy postings.

Yeah, she stands still until someone puts food directly in front of her...and she's the stupid one. 😜😜😜 lmao like me, "stupid cat, why won't you fetch? Oh well, I'll go get it. And throw it again. And retrieve it again. Stupid cat."

Rhinoceros have bad eye sight. Maybe we need to get them glasses. Maybe they won't be so mean and charge at things. This gives me an idea for a comic strip. Make one where a Rhinoceros needs to wear glasses and his explodes.
Double majored in whist and pinochle my freshman year.

Not a fan. Animals should not be gifted, no matter the reason. Getting a dog should be wisely planned ahead, especially a puppy, because you basically need to be home for an extended period of time.
how do you know these people didn't plan on this for a while? maybe he got the pup 1 week earlier than she thought.
Load More Replies...Reminds me of the running gag from Charlie's Angels 2 where one of the girls thinks her boyfriend is going to propose and is having doubts about it, but when he opens the little velvet box it's an engraved dog tag and he actually wants to know if she's ready to get a dog!
Am I the only one who thought the dude was asking his girlfriend to marry his dad?
Oy. Not a fan of pet owners referring to themselves as pets' parents. Yeesh. I'm too old for this word, but my students would call it "Cringe."
Not a single person here mentioned "pet parent". Oh wait, you did. How cringe. Basic AF Jonas.
Load More Replies...Depends. I did this with my mom and sister. My dad, paraphrasing "you paid 1 euro for a shirt?? You can buy them at *insert random bs place* for 1 cent!". The prices used are purely for illustrative purposes, but to point out just how ridiculous his arguements were. It gets old fast, even if we gave him half the price we payed it would be too high for him. So we just stopped
Load More Replies...No. You have to beat him home so that you can be ready for the fashion show. Where Daddy sits on the couch with a coke and ya'll both show off the haul and he says "Woowww, beautiful. I like the ruffles."
This just made me siffle a little. My dad used to do this when I was a kid. Absolutely hated shopping, but loved the way my pops would make such a big deal to "ooh & ahhh" over everything & tell mum she was gorgeous (even when she bought something hideous & we'd snicker about it later 🤭) So much fun! rip ❤️

NO NO NO DON'T DO THAT! The one time that I decided to throw the box away because I "wouldn't need it", I DID. I DID NEED IT. AND I DIDN'T HAVE IT! I have since learn from my mistakes.
It is a small box that fits in most drawers. Use it to organise the junk.
I have or read this about boomers also. I am a boomer and still have my phone boxes from the last two phones I have and had.
It's where I keep a much older but still somewhat functional phone in case something happens to mine and I need a phone right away.
I could immediately break up with someone who f***s around with my food like that. What a psycho thing to do.
Unless I was in a very secure, healthy relationship and then I would just laugh and ask which was the best flavor.

I feel like if you have a good man, he cheers up seeing the cute harmless prank and if you have a bad man, you have to be afraid of his reaction to the harmless prank.
I have seen something like this here on BP before. Especially where someone buys donuts for the work place and one person takes a bite out of all the donuts. Nobody else then can enjoy them.
Just came here to say WTF BP! Full screen ads popping up constantly now. Just two days ago I didn't have that problem. And I was just interrupted TWICE while typing this
SAME! And it's even more annoying because I already HAVE Hulu
Load More Replies...So Shaun Eli believes X will no longer be the place for funny content as it is now and was in the past. “I think that Twitter will become less of a medium for jokes as time goes on as it continues to become more of a forum for lies and hate speech rather than shared reasonable thoughts and facts. I know professional comedians who have stopped posting there for that reason." So because of what they THINK will happen. some professional comics are CAUSING it to happen. Maybe by "lies and hate speech" Eli means people who disagree with him?
Why they use the stock photo for the title from the Child Support SMIONE card login page tho🤣
