The sun is shining and a bank holiday is upon us, which means it’s time to take a break from lockdown life and have a giggle. To help, we’ve rounded up our favourite laugh-out-loud and downright lovely tweets from the week.
Enjoy the long weekend if you’ve got time off work, or take two minutes to laugh at a sausage dog if not – you deserve it.
1. Oscar the ingenious sausage dog
All hail Oscar, who’s figured out the key to social distancing.
2. The bride who’s still dancing
Having your wedding cancelled due to coronavirus sucks, but journalist Anna Silverman hasn’t let it destroy her spirit. The “fuck it” energy in this video is contagious.
3. Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s kitchen discos
If you haven’t yet checked out SEB’s kitchen discos, you need to. Every Friday she goes live on Instagram, singing disco classics alongside the occasional curveball (see below). Highlights are posted on Twitter.
Sophie’s great and all, but her kids are the stars of the show, sometimes dancing along, sometimes looking utterly bored in the background.
5. The confused cows
A case of mistaken identity – but the pup looks like he’s loving every minute.
6. This remix of the BBC News theme
There have been a lot of remixes of the BBC news theme during lockdown, but Ben Howell’s mashup with Dua Lipa’s ‘Hallucinate’ made it onto the actual news. Props to Greg James for getting it on the telly.
7. Just a priest, having a rave
We do not need context because this video is already everything.
8. If you know, you know
Actor Fionn O’Shea is no-doubt a lovely human being. The character of Jamie, however…
9. The clingy cat
Us at the first sign of physical contact with another human being after lockdown.
