MIC DROP: Here Are Hands Down The Funniest Tweets And Responses In The Region In 2018
It’s been a rollercoaster year.
2018 was the year VAT was introduced, Paris Hilton tweeted at Dubai leaders, the Ellie Holman case grabbed worldwide attention, THAT pool incident, Fazza revealed love lakes and rescued a baby deer – so highs and lows all round.
But through it all residents have the last laugh. When taking to the internet to share happiness, angst or thoughts is more normal than calling a friend for a chat, here are the funniest tweets the year from the region:
1. ‘How Arab are you?’ was trending and the answers were the best
