‘Seeing if my 94 month old son still does the newborn scrunch’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (April 23, 2024)

35+ Memes That Put the ‘Fun’ In Funny

Ok, forgive me if this is something everyone already has thought about… but does the word «funny» come from the word «fun?» It would sort of make sense. The concepts are definitely interrelated.

‘What do y’all kids know about Crazy Frog’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (April 16, 2024)
