The only reason we can’t say with 100% confidence that Donald Trump’s war on Iran hasn’t gone to plan is that there doesn’t seem to have been a plan in the first place. With the Strait of Hormuz closed and Trump running out of threats in a bid to get the Iranians to open it […] The post Donald Trump basically just told the rest of the world to clear up the shitshow he created in Iran – 17 brutal and totally on-point responses appeared first on The Poke.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, as the old saying goes, and a state of affairs that has been made a heck of a lot worse by the amount of time we spend on social media. People with limited knowledge overestimating their expertise is also known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, and they’ve been chatting […] The post ‘What ‘confidently incorrect’ fact has someone told you about something you’re an expert in?’ – 23 people who got it unbelievably wrong appeared first on The Poke.

It’s not so long ago that almost the entire White House press corps were infuriatingly reluctant to push back against Trump, but these days it’s getting more common, if not exactly common. And they don’t come much better than this, after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was challenged about Donald Trump’s threat to blow […] The post Karoline Leavitt was challenged about Donald Trump’s wannabe war crimes and her ‘response’ didn’t speak volumes, it bellowed them appeared first on The Poke.

To the White House press room now, where Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt is keen to reinforce to reporters just why they should believe her boss and not the Iranian regime (or at least, what’s left of it). After all, said Leavitt – and we paraphrase only slightly – what kind of stupid idiot […] The post Karoline Leavitt said Americans were smart enough not to accept the word of a constantly lying regime and the jokes really did write themselves appeared first on The Poke.

Acting relatively normally in public is a cornerstone of every society, but especially for the traditionally buttoned up British. But sometimes people completely disregard what others might think of them and do something utterly wacky. They’ve been chatting about this on the AskUK subreddit after user theblairwaldorfxoxo asked this … ‘What’s the craziest thing you’ve […] The post ‘What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen happen in public?’ – 21 people who absolutely could not believe their eyes appeared first on The Poke.

Hello and welcome to ‘Everybody Bribes Trump’, the new fun gameshow where captains of industry, politicians, and even royalty can only survive the current US regime by kissing the arse of the cult leader. In today’s episode, Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis has renamed Palm Beach International Airport in honour of the man who called him […] The post Donald Trump’s name is going to be slapped on a Florida airport, if you were wondering how the narcissism was going – 19 scathing takedowns appeared first on The Poke.

As you may already know, Americans have a thing for using microwaves to boil their water. Not all the time, obviously, but quite a lot, so it was to the States that our thoughts first turned when @irissska asked this over on Threads. View on Threads It turns out @irissska is actually a Ukrainian living […] The post Brits were asked if they’d ever use the microwave to boil their water if the kettle broke and never has the nation been so united appeared first on The Poke.

Here’s a rather fabulous thing that all began when @dsan246 came across a chap wearing some especially unusual headwear in a coffee and donuts shop in – where else? – the good old US of A. View on Threads And we mention it not only because it’s an especially striking image, both of the hat […] The post This man’s most unusual headwear prompted an avalanche of very funny responses and these 14 were totally on the money appeared first on The Poke.

To the White House now, where White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters precisely why Iran’s leadership ‘are no longer on planet Earth’. Presumably she means dead, rather than taking a previously undisclosed Elon Musk test flight to Mars. Anyway, we mention it because this particular reason is surely the new dictionary definition of […] The post Karoline Leavitt’s got a new reason why Iran’s leadership had to die and it’s her most extraordinary declaration yet appeared first on The Poke.

A few years back now it seemed like the Downfall parody thing might have run its course, but that was to reckon without Donald Trump. And we reckon this – posted by @fan_fintwit over on Twitter – might be the funniest one we’ve seen yet (and yes, we know that’s saying something). It will come […] The post You’ve not seen a Downfall parody as funny as this one about Donald Trump’s war on Iran because it’s just brilliant appeared first on The Poke.
