It was a night to remember. Or a night to forget. Depends on your perspective. Either way, the 2021 Emmys got everyone talking on Twitter. From celebrating the winners and gaping at the snubbed shows to criticizing the fashion and applauding celebrities’ reactions, the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards gave the social media platform plenty of grist for the mill.
Even if you didn’t tune in for the ceremony, you can still LOL along with Twitter’s most clever minds. This kind of comedy doesn’t need context. Here are the funniest tweets from the 2021 Emmys.
