Our favourite funny tweets of 2021 – Part 1
We can’t say 2021 has been a bed of roses for any of us, with political turmoil, escalating climate change and, of course, another full year of the pandemic.
Good things have happened, too. The Covid vaccine has saved countless lives, Donald Trump became the first US president to be impeached twice and Keeping Up With the Kardashians got cancelled.
On Twitter, funny people kept us entertained from start to finish, no matter what was going on in the world. We gathered 100 of our favourites, and here’s the first half.

Whenever I get discouraged and want to quit something, I remember the words of my then 3 year-old after she puked carrots all over the living room floor: "I'm gonna need more carrots."

I asked a friend who’s really into weight training how to get really strong and healthy and he said “ideally, heavier weights as few times as possible.” So I’m currently doing 200kg and zero reps.
