13 Tumblr Posts That Probably Shouldn't Be Funny But Kind of Are
Logopedia

Despite its reputation as a haven for whiny, "social justice warriors" and liberal teenagers with too much time on their hands, Tumblr is actually a pretty diverse online community with users ranging in age from 13-ish to late fifties. This diversity is reflected in Tumblr's many varieties of humor, from droll or dark to dirty to scathing satire and observational comedy. Droll humor is probably what the blogging platform does best, and it's so insidious that one doesn't even realize how much their sense of humor as changed until they catch themselves chuckling at "egg" at 3 in the morning. Or guffawing at this short video of a man doing yoga dressed as the Grinch.

(This video once made me laugh so hard, I wheezed for ten minutes straight, and I've yet to understand why)

Keeping Tumblr's tendency to warp a person's sense of humor in mind, I've managed to put together 13 posts that, in true Tumblr form, probably shouldn't be funny but still kind of are, like...

1. The realization that Kellyanne Conway's brain might not be able to handle any more "alternative facts"


2. This science pun

3. This truly gripping bit of prose

4. This post that blessed us with the mental image of White Supremacist and liberal punching bag Richard Spencer getting decked by a furry

5. This pretty good question

6. This realization...that might be just a little too real

7. And another realization that's just hilarious

8. This self-evident truth

(I have never met Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, but I would trust him with my life. And I would welcome him into my messy shame-hut of a home.)

9. This post that speaks to introverts in particular

10. This joke about Halsey

11. This spot-on observation about the relationship between art and politics

12. This good and pure omegle chat

(on a related note, unsolicited cat pics should totally replace unsolicited dick pics as a thing)

13. And finally, this combo-breaker of a post

We've got:

-A relatable post about being squishy and seen at your worst angle in front of a laptop screen

-A nod to the Star Warsfandom

-An even funnier nod to Rogue One star Diego Luna's bizarre and well-documented crush on Jabba the Hutt.

-The comforting realization that, even when you're squishy and presented at your worst angle, you are still appealing to a man who's able to have sexual chemistry with a brick wall

(above: how I started puberty)

A true masterpiece.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
