This June was pretty chaotic, we’re not going to lie. The 2026 FIFA World Cup brought much-needed joy and enthusiasm to people around the globe. Then we got knocked down a bit by the heatwaves that had the French cooking their eggs sunny-side up on their windowsills, but also had serious, deadly consequences.
Whether something good or bad is happening, we can always count on Twitter for hilarious reactions. June was no exception, with Twitter comedians delivering us their hilarious takes and entertaining us in the hour of need. Check out the funniest posts from the social media platform that Bored Panda collected throughout the month and share your favorites with us in the comments!

As you scroll through these funny tweets, let’s recap some of the fun things that happened this July. Perhaps the biggest event in the past month was the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It brought people from all over the world to North America, made Americans fall in love with the Scots, and exposed the U.S. for its lack of good football chants.
The World Cup also gave birth to one viral Twitter account: Freddy from Germany. The user @FreddyLA7 documented his trip to the U.S. and his thoughts on many American staples: gas stations, the American superstore, and its culture of excesses. He quickly became the favorite of many celebrities and brand accounts, as thousands of people were following Freddy’s journey and thought process on X.
However, as of today, Freddy is no longer active on X. What really happened? The person behind the account seemed to be everyone’s darling; the former NFL star JJ Watt even gifted him and his travel companions a stay at the luxurious hotel in Houston. Nevertheless, not everybody was convinced that Freddy was a real account.
Some speculated that it’s secretly an American pushing everyone’s buttons about the most obvious and ridiculous things about American culture that people call out most often. Then, after Germany unexpectedly lost and was eliminated from the World Cup, other X users found his old 2023 posts in which he was visiting the USA for “some concerts,” shattering the idea that the World Cup was the first time he had ever set foot in the U.S.
You have to do this at least once before you even go get the battery tester. It's a requirement.
More problematic stuff about Freddy came to light, culminating in him deleting his X account. Later, on Instagram, the football fan claimed things had turned “too toxic” and that he always planned to delete the account at some point.
Freddy apparently gave an interview to the German newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt, claiming to be a media management student in his 20s. Other people have also met Freddy in person, including Gordon Ramsey and country singer Ella Langley, but it was the mayor of Houston and the members of the Houston Police Department who confirmed that Freddy was indeed a real person.
Another big thing that marked this June was the scorching heatwave in Europe. While it had some devastating consequences, it also gave people a chance to hone their comedic skills by posting videos of cooking outside in the hot midday sun.
One Frenchman went viral for cooking himself a breakfast of eggs and bacon right outside his window. Another showed people how to make crepes with a pan heated by the sun on the balcony. Netizens were quick to dub these culinary inventions as “heatwave eggs” and “heatwave crepes.”
I got a telemarketer call 'Do you or anyone in your household speak Spanish?' 'My daughter is learning Spanish' 'Can we speak with her?' 'Sure" she was 4 and learning in preschool.
It's strange how relatively benign the protests against Faecesbook's anti-privacy glasses are, compared to the "furious backlash sparked" by Google Glass in 2014.
Instead of showing the pros of the heat, others chose to share tips on how to escape the scorching sun. The user @taline_mawla shared a video of Parisians lounging in their local IKEA and reveling in the magic of air conditioning. While some people called it genius and a good marketing opportunity for IKEA, others thought it was inappropriate. “That seems rude to me. It’s a business,” one commenter wrote.
I did say, "My day's not going great, but at least I didn't burn down Notre Dame," while it was in flames on my computer screen.

Not really related but it's ridiculous how many people are using AI for assignments...and just copy paste...like no changes etc and then they're shocked when the prof deducts marks for AI use.
When in the movie theatre, could people cough more during all the 20 minutes of advertising, please.
"Autism is a modern trend!" Yeah, so you think those medieval monks who locked themselves in a monastery, took a vow of silence and then spent decades copying books by hand did it just for the love of the game?
Just about every hotel I've been to keeps track of guests who have eaten breakfast. Some even ask you to let them know the previous evening if possible to prevent food waste. No idea where greg has been staying
But at least for that short time slot you don't risk running in with them.
How would an American football ref answer that question, when the average four-quarter (one-hour of play) game lasts three hours and twelve minutes in real time? (according to Google's perfect AI Overview)
I do not get it? Of course you use some plates for dinner, some for breakfast, some for cake? You are not using the same plate for any meal? How barbaric is that?
If these were the funniest, I'm glad I don't waste my time on social media.
