The “internet hall of fame” Twitter account has taken on the delightful task of curating and celebrating these funny and memorable posts. Scroll below to see some of the most hilarious and fascinating posts shared by the group.
Queen’s The Greatest: Live video series continues with Episode 24, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”. Watch below.
Famously conceived by Freddie Mercury in 1979 amidst the bubbles of his bathtub at Munich’s Bayerischer Hof hotel, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” has always been one of the most playful songs in the Queen catalogue. But as we see in this week’s live archive footage from Japan ’82, the song evolved on the stage to include an outro jam that found the band flexing their musical muscles.
As the first song in contention for 1980’s The Game at Munich’s Musicland Studios, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” moved at pace. “It took me five or ten minutes,” Freddie told Melody Maker of writing the Elvis-inspired foundations. “I did that on the guitar, which I can’t play for nuts, and in one way it was quite a good thing, because I was restricted, knowing only a few chords.”
Perhaps wary of the song vanishing into the ether, Freddie coralled the lineup and urged engineer Reinhold Mack to roll the tape. “Freddie wrote it very quickly and rushed in and put it down with the boys,” Brian May told Absolute Radio. “By the time I got there, it was almost done. And I think the sounds that Mack managed to get – these very elemental, very real, ambient sounds in the studio – had a big contribution to make. It does sound very authentic.”
The pièce de résistance was the period-correct ’50s twang of Brian’s guitar solo, reluctantly performed on Roger Taylor’s Telecaster. “I got bludgeoned into playing it,” said the guitarist. “That was Mack’s idea.”
As the band’s first US #1, Mercury admitted it took “sheer guts and bravery” to strap on a twelve-string acoustic and drive the song’s rockabilly rhythm live. But as we see in this week’s footage, when the Japanese leg of 1982’s Hot Space Tour concluded at Tokorozawa’s Seibu Lions Stadium on November 3rd, the song had become the ideal platform for jamming, with Brian and Freddie gathered around piano player Fred Mandel with the joyous intimacy of a pub lock-in.
As an aside, Mandel would also join Brian and Eddie Van Halen in April 1983 at LA’s Record Plant for the near-mythical Star Fleet Project sessions – and four decades later, the thrilling results can be heard on the enhanced 40th Anniversary Edition, released July 14 on CD, vinyl and LP deluxe boxset.

JORGINHO netted a baffling 30-yard own goal as the Arsenal midfielder prepared for Declan Rice’s arrival in the worst way possible.
The Italian pass-master won’t pass muster for much longer if he repeats the blunder he made in the Gunners’ opening pre-season friendly, Thursday’s 1-1 draw against Nurnberg in Germany.

But Arsenal‘s sub keeper Karl Hein was partly to blame.
His casual pass forward from the edge of the area left Jorginho under pressure.
And the Italian matched Hein’s carelessness by prodding a first-time left-footer back past the Estonian and into the net.
That freaky moment in the 62nd minute cancelled out a flashing early opener from Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka.
But Gunners’ fans were at least delighted to see new boy Kai Havertz come on at the interval.
One fan said of Jorginho’s cock-up: “Oh Arsenal, I’ve missed you.”
But another added: “Lol that keeper is mad that pass was never on.”
And a third went further: “Even tho Jorginho was the Arsenal player who last touched the ball I’m giving that own goal to Karl Hein.”

Jorginho’s misfortune comes as the Gunners still wait to tie up Rice‘s £106million signing from West Ham.
Some supporters are getting anxious – because it’s a week after terms for the England anchorman’s move appeared to have been settled.
But apart from Rice, Emirates chief Mikel Arteta is tipped to land another central player.
That shake-up has already led to Granit Xhaka departing Arsenal for Bayer Leverkusen.

And it could see Thomas Partey exiting too.
Jorginho is tipped for an influential bit-part role – albeit not the type he showed on Thursday night vs Bundesliga 2 side Nurnberg.
Sub striker Folarin Balogun wasted a gaping chance in stoppage-time as the Gunners drew.

High School Musical star Bart Johnson has shared a hilarious clip of the moment he saw Marvel superstars Tom Holland and Zendaya enjoying a stroll down an unassuming street in west London.
The actor, 52, was walking around the streets of Richmond on Tuesday, and documented his travels on Instagram.
Whilst walking along Richmond Road, Bart passed the Odeon cinema, initially unaware that the famous couple have just walked past across the road.
The video began with Johnson, most notable for playing Zac Efron‘s dad coach Jack Bolton in the High School Musical film series, setting the scene for his followers.
Bart, who has reprised his role in Disney+’s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, told the camera: ‘Hey, look where I’m at, I’m in Richmond, you know what Richmond has besides this awesome theatre?

‘So guess who was walking on the other side of the street whilst I was making that video right there.’
Johnson then turned the camera around, pointing it towards a zebra crossing on the other side of the road, adding: ‘Zendaya and Tom Holland. Hey guys, hey we’re all in Richmond, isn’t that fun.’
The clip then showed Bart walking down the street whilst being filmed by a pal as he sipped a drink.
The cameraman then turned the camera around to reveal that walking just a little further ahead of them were the A-list couple.
Zendaya, dressed in all black, had her arm around Holland’s shoulders, who was himself clad in a pink t-shirt, dark cargo trousers and a baseball cap.
The co-starring pair seem to be unaware that Johnson and his pal were just behind them, as they wandered nonchalantly down the street.
Cheeky! In a final clip recorded after spotting the pair, Johnson joked: ‘I’ve got to tell Zendaya, hey you dated my son – kind of’
