36 Picture Tweets That Give You A Little Image With Your Joke, As A Treat
I’m on Twitter more than I’d like to admit. It’s part of the job, so I’ve got a professional excuse for the hours I spend scrolling, but let’s be honest, I’d be there anyway.
And after years of this, I’ve developed some opinions. Chief among them: the funniest thing on this website isn’t the tweet. It’s the tweet plus the picture.
You know the format. Somebody writes something genuinely funny, a perfect little one-liner that would’ve been great on its own, and then they attach an image that has no business being as devastating as it is.
The text sets you up. The picture closes the deal.
It’s a one-two punch that turns a solid chuckle into a full wheeze, the kind where you have to put your phone down for a second.
It’s a real art form, even if nobody’s handing out awards for it. The wrong picture kills the joke. The right one immortalizes it.
So I’ve gone ahead and rounded up some of the best examples of people who absolutely understood the assignment, where the image didn’t just illustrate the joke, it became the joke. Scroll on.
