Comedy is officially back on Twitter

My who's back of the week is comedy because comedy is now legal on Twitter. ... Elon Musk took over Twitter and now the reports that he's gonna charge people that have blue check marks $20 a month to keep their blue check.

Whether comedy returned to Twitter is purely subjective, though the platform's moderation policies and atmosphere changed significantly.

The Flintstones and Jetsons live on the same earth at the same time

There's a theory that the [Flintstones] live in a post-apocalyptic prehistoric land on earth while the [Jetsons] live in the sky. Also, not to be horny, but Jane Jetson should get it. She was a fox.

This is a fan theory about fictional universes that cannot be verified but is a common topic of internet debate.

Five years is the official amount of time for a meme to become funny again

It's the perfect time for it to come full circle. Cause we've, we've predicted, we've had this conversation off air many times. Like when do you think Harambe jokes are going to be funny again? I think five years is now officially the amount of time when something can become fun again.

While comedy is subjective, the five-year 'nostalgia' cycle for memes is a recognized phenomenon in internet culture.

You gotta be a tremendous loser if you're just tweeting out, like, 'What's the new strain going to be looking at all these people at Lolla.'

The Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez relationship is a fake publicity stunt

It's fake love because it's all publicity stunt. The fact that they're remaking old pictures, they don't actually love each other. Imagine doing this, imagine having a relationship that is all for the tabloids... it's disgusting.

While subjective, the couple eventually married in 2022, suggesting it was more than just a short-term publicity stunt, though they later filed for divorce in 2024.

The internet trend of saying 'The Beatles suck' is objectively wrong

The Diamondbacks 'first date' viral moment was a set-up between a YouTuber and multiple brands

I also have a big stay woke on it. The fact that it was a famous YouTuber that was setting this up in conjunction with three separate brands at once, it set off a lot of alarms for me.

The event was widely debated as a possible marketing stunt given the YouTuber involved, making it a plausible but unproven claim.

Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez will continue to 'break up' and get back together just so Alex can keep getting the engagement photo high

I think A-Rod realized that once you get the engagement photo, that's really the height of any relationship in 2021. When you post the Instagram of the ring, the proposal on the beach, it's all downhill after that... I feel like A-Rod's going to maybe take the ring back, and then he'll re-propose again. That works. In a couple months' time.

They officially announced their split permanently just a month later in April 2021, though A-Rod didn't get to do the re-proposal cycle PFT predicted.

Tekashi 6ix9ine's addiction to Instagram Live will eventually lead to his downfall

this dude is so good at self-promotion... But the only downside to it is he's addicted to going live. He goes live when he's about to commit crimes. And as somebody who's on the run from people that are looking for him, I think that's going to be his downfall.

The movie 'Cats' is intentionally broken to generate viral buzz

I'm a little bit woke because it is getting people talking about the movie Cats because we probably wouldn't be talking about it at all if it wasn't a massive fuck up. And now what they're doing is they're taking the movie back. They're re-editing certain scenes and sending an entirely new version out next week. So now the people that already saw it are going to want to go back and see it again.

The movie remained a massive financial and critical failure regardless of the 'patch' version sent to theaters.

The Area 51 meme is the reason people are now bum rushing music festival gates

I blame the organizer of the Area 51 thing for just convincing people everywhere to get a big group and run through a fence. Some of these kids were jumping fences [at Lollapalooza], and I was just shocked by their athleticism.

The 'Storm Area 51' meme went viral in July 2019, just before Lollapalooza 2019. While causal links are hard to prove, the timing aligns with a trend of 'bum rushing' memes.
