Tweets of the Week: 7 – 13 May 2018

Eurovision has come and gone for yet another year.

We watched some pretty cool performances, hung out with our closest friends, and spent all of Sunday sleeping off our hangovers. If you ask us, that means this year’s competition was a shining success. And you know what? It appears our faves had a pretty good Saturday night as well – but you won’t find any of their tweets about it here. They were so good we decided to dedicate a whole article to them.

Amidst all the hubbub surrounding Eurovision, you might have missed out on some of the other pro tweets our faves were sharing throughout the week. From hilarious puns to an analysis of this year’s Met Gala fashion, they were truly dishing out their best this week, and we were kind enough to round it all up for you…

EMBRACE THE SUN, ELECTRA SNOW. BECOME ONE OF US.

SAVAGE

some savage phrases from my 93 year old grandad are:

“listen… you don’t have a boyfriend yet? no?”
and
“the job you’re doing, it will last two or three years”

You gotta love the things grandparents say, amiright dodie?!

Lean On Pete… Literally

There’s a new film called Lean On Pete… I couldn’t help myself… @petesjams 🙃 pic.twitter.com/ps90uC63f1

To be fair, Gary C, we would have pulled the exact same joke. We’re glad Peter Kingston is such a good sport!

So. Much. Blood.

If you're ever really nervous about a job interview, just remember that I started bleeding in the middle of one and had literal blood on my hands for half of it and it still went ok.

OMG, we can’t believe that happened to you, Lilly Ashton. We would have been frozen in horror.

We have no words…

Looking through my notes app for new sketch ideas and I err… I just don't know… pic.twitter.com/IwslHtZttm

You really worry us sometimes, Will McDaniel.

Best be careful

bit of a risky game I’m playing having these two things sat next to each other pic.twitter.com/Vds5osUdnS

— zannah (@zannah_perrins) May 7, 2018

We think Zannah Perrins is becoming a bit too much of a risk-taker for us. The possibility of her accidentally swallowing that spider is too nerve-wracking – we’d never take the risk ourselves.

How about ice cream AND abs?

My abs keep threatening to show themselves and then ice cream exists and it’s back to square one

We feel that Old El Paso gif perfectly applies to this tweet, Calum McSwiggan.

Met Gala VIP

men that turn up to the met gala wearing plain suits are really letting all humanity down if i got an invite i’d hit that theme hard and ride in on an armoured unicorn then throw off a gilded cape to reveal surgically attached angel wings and a tux made of bedazzled dove feathers

— Daniel Howell (@danielhowell) May 8, 2018

If Daniel Howell doesn’t receive an invitation to next year’s Met Gala then we’ll start rioting. We need to see him arrive on the red carpet riding a unicorn whilst wearing a gilded cape and dove-feather suit. It’ll be a look.

Here’s a reminder

Every time a sassy child argues with me on the internet it just reminds me to check how much birth control I have left

— Connie Glynn (@connieglynn) May 9, 2018

We can hardcore relate to this tweet, Connie Glynn. Here’s to contraception and the annoying trolls on Twitter who remind us why we use it.

You saw Shrek 2 more than once?

Kinda temped to go see infinity war 2 more times to break the record of how many times I've seen the same film in the cinema? (Current leader is Shrek 2)

— Alex Bertie (@Alex_Bertie) May 13, 2018

There are two things that concern us about this tweet, Alex Bertie:

1) You went and saw Shrek 2 in the cinema.

2) You went and saw it in the cinema more than once.

So there you have it…

Our favourite YouTuber tweets from the past week. We hope you found them just as entertaining as this past week’s Eurovision final – we know we did! However, we do have to admit, nothing will ever top some of the performances from Saturday night. There really is nothing better than a music competition.
