Absurdist Observation That A Ghost With Flesh Is Just A Person

This image is a screenshot of a text joke posted on X (formerly Twitter) by comic creator J. L. Westover, known as @MrLovenstein. It features a short comedic exchange: the narrator states they have a ghost that needs to be removed, their friend advises them to contact the Ghostbusters, the narrator asks if Ghostbusters can be reached via a website or app, the friend clarifies you have to make an actual phone call to them, and the narrator concludes they would rather keep the unwanted ghost than make a phone call. The humor comes from the relatable modern anxiety and general aversion many people have to placing phone calls, even when facing an inconvenient or unpleasant scenario to avoid the call.

This is a screenshot of a public X (formerly Twitter) post. The post's text subverts the common sentimental phrase structure of 'ever since I was little I knew I wanted [positive life goal]' by replacing the expected ambition with the blunt, relatable line 'ever since i was little i knew i wanted everyone to shut the fck up' (with 'fuck' censored as 'fck'). The account that posted it, Cursed Posts, uses a widely recognized reaction image of rapper Boosie Badazz with an annoyed, unimpressed expression as its profile picture, which reinforces the irritated, humorous tone of the post. The joke resonates with people who prefer quiet and dislike unnecessary noise or interaction from others.

This image is a screenshot of a public post from the X (formerly Twitter) platform, shared by user @v7ren (display name Viren). The post recounts a personal anecdote: the poster told a woman he interacted with that her rudeness was not attractive, assuming she was behaving in a way to appeal to him. The woman immediately shut down this assumption with a sharp comeback: "genuine question, what makes you think I'm looking to attract you?". The poster concludes the tweet with the line "message sent me to sleep bruv", a casual way of stating he was left completely speechless and thoroughly roasted by her reply. The humor derives from mocking the common, self-absorbed trope of people assuming others adjust their behavior specifically to be attractive to them, even when they are being rude or uninterested.
