LeBron’s role in besting one of the greatest NBA teams ever assembled to win his third NBA title has converted me into a full-blown LeBron admirer. His greatness when it mattered most has allowed me to overcome his tendency to hang his head and defer the blame when things don’t go his way. I’ve found it quite liberating to refuse to get hung up on LeBron’s petty imperfections and just succumb to the fact that the NBA has never seen anything quite like him. (I suggest anyone who still sums up Tom Brady’s four Super Bowl titles to ‘cheating’ to release that hate from their heart and find the truth.)
Now that I’m Team LBJ, he can do no wrong. If King James wants to chill on a yacht and Snapchat corny ass shit, I’m going to pick the corn out of that shit, and eat it up.
With that said, let’s rank LeBron’s Top 5 Funniest Jokes of This Snap Story, accompanied with a short explanation of each joke for those who don’t have LeBron’s high-brow humor:
5.) “That’s my woe.”
Explanation: In Drake’s song “Know Yourself” he refers to his woes (crew). In this joke, LeBron points out a main member of his woe, Maverick Carter, and times the gag PERFECTLY with the chorus of Drake’s song. Good jokes are all about timing. Perfect execution, LBJ.
4.) “That’s my woe (repeated)”
Explanation: By LeBron’s logic, if a joke doesn’t get laughs the first time, say it again. They probably just didn’t hear you. #Reps.
3.) *Chewing with his mouth open*
Explanation: Like most of us, our moms taught us to chew with our mouths closed. In a hilarious act of defiance and *goofiness*, LeBron momentarily goes against everything he was taught, but apologizes in the caption to let his mom know he’s just playing around and he’s still got love for her. Classic slapstick comedy here. Hey LeBron, looks like you’ve carried over some of those acting chops from incessantly trying to get calls at the rim LOL! CLASSIC!
2.) “If you’re wondering why it’s damn near gone, it’s because I was homgreyyyyy.”
Explanation: I really can’t explain what the word homgrey means. But that’s the thing about great comics, they sometimes take everyday words and just change them to keep their audience guessing. Can’t wait to use that term around the office!
1.) Get to the plank, mate! Argggghhh!!!!”
Explanation: Wait, is that LeBron or a treasure-hungry pirate? I honestly can’t tell. Frank Caliendo, fuck off bro, you’re fired. There’s a new comedy sheriff in town. Or should I say….wait for it…..comedy…*pirate!
Blake Griffin, LeBron’s coming for your comedy throne!
