​40 Funniest Celebrity Tweets of 2018

Celebrities say, or rather tweet, the darndest things.

Why do we love it so much when celebrities write something genuinely funny on Twitter? Because it's the one time we're getting a taste of their true personality. These aren't pre-scripted lines that they've fine-tuned and rehearsed and then re-wrote after a test screening and copious notes from the studio. This is just them being off the cuff, making themselves laugh for the pure enjoyment of it. It feels intimate, like you're sitting with them at a bar and they're trying to crack you up.

Twitter admittedly has a lot of faults—it tends to bring out the worst a lot of people—but there's a reason we all keep coming back to it. Because what if Ryan Reynolds had a funny thought just pop into his head and he needs to share it with somebody? We can't miss that! With that in mind, here are 40 of the funniest tweets that celebrities shared with the world this year. And if you can't get enough yucks from Twitter, you don't want to miss The 20 Funniest Tweets About Being a Mom.
