2016 Twitter Awards
Welcome to the inaugural Jeff Tweety Awards! You see my name is “Jeff” and these are “Tweets” and there’s this famous guy named… oh never mind, let’s just call them The Tweeties™.
After thoroughly* reading and digesting every tweet posted by every human person this past year, I have compiled the following list of funny tweets that just happen to fit perfectly in my predetermined Twitter categories. Be a sport and follow all of these extremely funny and super deserving Tweetie™ award winners. Please note, there are very few political tweets here because we’re already stressed the fuck out. I love you all. Fight the power. Never give up. Happy New Year.
* I made this list in one night while simultaneously drinking wine, watching my favorite show “Bitchin’ Rides” and folding laundry. Apologies for the butt-loads of great tweets I missed.
And The Tweetie™ Goes to…
