It's the week before Thanksgiving, and these hilarious tweeters are definitely on our list of things for which we are thankful.
Activist and author DeRay Mckesson is never seen without his bright blue vest. He wears it everywhere, no matter how formal the occasion. That is why when a picture of the activist without it began making the rounds this week, everyone lost their minds:
“Fuck it, vest off” – @deray

Our mamas, aunties and everyone in between must have told us "Jesus paid it all!" a million times. This got one Twitter user wondering if Jesus paid it all, where is he at the cash register?

Last, but certainly not least: remember that incredibly expensive Idris Elba doll folks were dragging for looking nothing like the actor? Well, Idris saw it, too and won the internet with his simple response. We stan a Black star who has a sense of humor.
