Tyrone Pynor: the 10 funniest things I have ever seen (on the internet)

Cher Lloyd, Joanne the Scammer, and Alex Consani … the Triple J host’s list is for the girls and the gays

Oh god – the internet. What a weird and wonderful place! My relationship with surfing the world wide web goes back to the time I would steal my older sister’s phone to log into Facebook so I could update my status to “like 4 a tbh”, only for her to then wake up with no credit left on her phone.

Better to ask forgiveness then permission: the internet taught me that. So here are some unforgivingly funny things I’ve come across.

1. Aunty Tala

It only feels right starting with one of my earliest memories from the internet. My brother would religiously watch The Laughing Samoans on long train rides growing up and we would be in hysterics on the train! Aunty Tala was peak comedy for us.

2. Jessie J’s Price Tag

This has no reason to be this funny, but this will always cheer me up … she ate, and she broke! It! Down!

3. Black person? RACE?!

It is so me-coded to turn everything into race or sexuality.

4. Yes I did that!

I believe wholeheartedly that I can’t go one whole week without quoting this word for word, and honestly … you would do it too, for a cheque.

5. Joanne the Scammer

I’m not too sure if the era of Joanne The Scammer is a niche one but my god it was a funny one. Everything about her. The attitude, the confidence, the scandals!

6. It was fookin wunnuyaz

I’m sorry but if you haven’t seen this iconic clip then I don’t really know what to tell you, just that you missed a great cover of Cher Lloyd by Cher Lloyd.

7. OK I like it … Picasso

I strive to be this unbothered in all that I see and do.

8. David’s dead

A classic Big Brother clip built on miscommunication. As a viewer you know what’s playing out in front of you and it just gets progressively funnier.

9. Alex Consani

“Transsexuals RISE!”

“It IS a Jersey Remix summer.”

“… Well, yes!”

10. Barbie or Bratz? BBQ
