I always cry during the “In Memoriam” segment at the Oscars. All those editors whose names we never actually cared to learn! Unfortunately, most of us will die in obscurity. However, some names live on for eternity and wind up as part of a funny Twitter meme where people offer their condolences to famous people who would have loved the here and now. These “RIP _____, you would have loved ______” memes should replace a few tombstone epitaphs.
If you love jokes about history, celebrities, and obscure fictional characters, have you come to the right place. I live for days like this. Days where we all think of a fun way to cleverly tell people “I know three things about famous people.” Yes, it’s a nerdy joke, but some of them really made me laugh.
Here are the funniest “RIP/You Would’ve Loved” tweets about famous people:
