When you are a kid, it’s easy to look at a 9-5 like it’s a constrictive indicator of a boring life. They can’t understand how somebody who goes to work every day, does the same thing, and goes home can possibly be happy. When you’re young, adult life can sound like an escape from the …

‘Seeing if my 94 month old son still does the newborn scrunch’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (April 23, 2024)
It’s kind of strange how people acted like TikTok was some kind of anomaly when it first became popular. In a lot of ways, it’s just a convoluted mix of many platforms that came before it—Vine and YouTube in the format, with Twitter, Tumblr, and even Reddit influencing the content. It goes without saying that …

‘What do y’all kids know about Crazy Frog’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (April 16, 2024)
For all that it can feel this way, the internet is not forever. The infrastructure on which it is built is so varied and sprawling that there is every chance that something will happen in the future that will cause its massive reservoir of information to be lost, meaning that we could currently be living …

‘And that’s on magnitude’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (April 9, 2024)
There was a time when not everything on the internet desperately needed to entertain us. Some places were simply here to inform or give us the news with a minimum of messing around (or at least, that’s what a lot of people used it for). Then TikTok came along and changed all that. Now, everywhere …

Hater claims SNL has never cast a hot woman, gets dragged in the comments: ‘Cecily Strong was on that show way too long for you to be spouting nonsense’
Saturday Night Live is one of those shows that people have many grievances with. The most common one is that «the sketches aren’t funny like they used to be.» That sentiment could’ve been said in 1980 or 2024, and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference: it’s a timeless complaint. I believe that people …

‘Practicing the walk to my new job on Google Maps’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (March 26, 2024)
Every half a generation or so, the internet gets redefined by a meme-adjacent way of sharing thoughts, jokes, and opinions on the internet. The late 2000s had Impact font Advice Animals, then the early to mid-2010s was dominated by Twitter screenshots. Whisper had a brief moment a few years back, and now we are undoubtedly …

‘Dune is about the dangers of Boy Moms™’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (March 19, 2024)
Who knows how we got here, but we are somehow in a position where a not insignificant portion of the cultural climate is dictated by an app that began as a place for teenagers to do ridiculous little dances. Sure, it is meant to be in danger of being banned in the US but when …

‘Eventually they stopped asking [to play]’: Mom brags about never playing pretend with her kids, claims it teaches independence
If you’ve ever babysat a kid, you know that «playing pretend» is much less fun than you remember it being when you were their age. I would devise many fanciful scenarios in my toddler mind that were so fun when I was young and carefree and illiterate. It was a whole different story when I …

‘Life would be much easier if I was an evil wizard’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (March 5, 2024)
Remember back in the heady days of the mid-2010s when some people thought that internet humor couldn’t get any weirder? We had Dat Boi, the craziness of Vine, and deep-fried memes! Surely it couldn’t get any more postmodern! Well, everyone who thought that was wrong. TikTok came along and put our irony-poisoned brains in a …

‘How you set up the camera and start crying’: Swiftie performatively sobs outside Taylor Swift concert, her friends try not to laugh while comforting her
I am no stranger to crying at live or even recorded performances. This weekend, I saw the re-release of Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables in IMAX, and I was wiping away tears the entire time. There’s something about beautiful music that can make anybody emotional…even curmudgeons who mask their vulnerabilities in front of most people. While …
