It’s Monday, and you know what that means! Here are some of the pieces that kept us ROTFL-ing all week long:

Bombshell Report on One of the Many Ongoing Trump Investigations Mad Libs

Our very own Brett Shollenberger interrupted the front page of McSweeney’s this week with breaking news of a bombshell report — cable news Mad Libs are like regular Mad Libs, but depressing. Also, much higher stakes, but they don’t always seem to know that!

Crossword Clues I Wrote For My Husband Who Really Loves The Crossword, A Lot, Like Maybe More Than…

Elizabeth Simone exemplified the power of format with this delightful piece. Here, Jerry, complete this crossword. Check it out on Slackjaw!

Dog Meets the New Addition

We couldn’t get enough of this Shouts and Murmurs piece by Nguyên Khôi Nguyễn. A gorgeously illustrated funny piece about a dog? That’s practically the definition of our wheelhouse!

Until Things Are More Stable, I'm Freezing My Eggs and Myself

Also from Shouts and Murmurs, Zoe Pearl penned this hilarious piece that had us laughing and definitely not googling whether cryopreservation is real and how far away we are as a society from it. *nervous laughter*

Woman's Cry For Help Distilled Into Commenting 'It Me' on Several Pictures of Raccoons

Head over to Reductress for a headline so relatable we can’t help but feel called out. Written by Katie Waldron!
