I was just casually scrolling through Twitter one day and happened to stumble upon a post from the SparkNotes’ Twitter account. For those of you who don’t know, Sparknotes is a website that provides resources to help in understanding works of literature. So, their entire Twitter account is full of English Literature jokes. As an English major, I of course found these to be hilarious. Below are 5 of my personal favorites from Sparknotes’ Twitter:
- Pandora’s Box
-
Not only is this a reference to Pandora’s box, but it’s also extremely relatable. Who hasn’t done something stupid knowing it was a bad decision? It was an easily avoidable thing that ended up unleashing all the evils unto the world. But like, what else were you expecting?
- That’s So Fetch
-
Fetch? More like the American Dream. It’s never going to happen. This is such a relatable joke told through such a great movie meme.
- What’s Communication?
-
It’s said that every Shakespearean tragedy wouldn’t exist if they had just talked their problems out. But, who doesn’t love a bit of dramatic miscommunication with deadly consequences.
- Just a Smoothie
-
Beware the Ides of March, folks. You never know if your best friend Brutus is plotting to stab you with his other bros.
- Yes or No
-
Who doesn’t love The Good Place? Hamlet is honestly a whole mess of a play. So, do we ever really know if Claudius killed Hamlet? The answer is yes or no.
These were just a few of the many tweets from SparkNotes. I definitely recommend checking out their profile if you thought any of these were funny. I’m just gonna go and scroll through their account. Don’t mind my nerdy laughter.
