10 Hilarious Tweets From James Blunt

Quick Links

James Blunt is a very popular and gifted British singer, who is best known for hits such as "You're Beautiful," "Goodbye My Lover," and "1973." He has released five studio albums since his debut in 2005 and has remained a hit ever since. However, despite the fact he has sold over 20 million records, won Brit Awards, and been nominated for a Grammy, he is actually best known for his Twitter account. Blunt even served in the British Army, yet his hilarious Twitter account is still what people will talk about.

Despite his songs often being very soft and loving, Blunt is brutal on social media. Never one to hold back from responding to people, Blunt has some witty comebacks and has become a true King of Twitter, as this list will highlight.

Relevance

One of the first hilarious tweets James Blunt did that really caught a lot of attention was in regards to his own relevance. Proving that he wouldn't just take abuse from people on social media, this was a great moment of him proving he is more than confident in his own abilities.

After someone had claimed he stopped being relevant in 2009, Blunt fired back, ripping himself by stating it was "2006, actually."

It a genius moment, being a nod to the year after his first major record was released, which still remains his most popular. Proving he has a true sense of humor about his career.

The Christmas Race

James Blunt recently took to Twitter to mock Mariah Carey, proving that his Twitter humor truly has no boundaries. Carey is currently trying to get to #1 for Christmas, but the bookies have shown James Blunt's new charity single is the favorite. To highlight the joke, the British singer shared an image of the current odds, claiming that Mariah is going to be pissed.

Obviously, he is joking about the entire situation and likely doesn't even expect himself to be so high up in the odds. But seeing James Blunt firing a tweet Mariah's way is absolutely hilarious.

Dad Jokes

It isn't just witty comebacks that James Blunt has in his locker though, as he is more than capable of busting out a Dad joke as well. The sort of joke that is so lame and pathetic that it actually ends up being funny.

After someone tweeted that they couldn't stand James, the singer quickly took the opportunity to bury them with his own Dad joke.

Telling them, "Have a seat. I have that effect on people." It's one that should not be funny in the slightest, yet for some reason, it is utterly hilarious at the same time.

Rude Jokes

So, James Blunt has witty comebacks, Dad jokes, and rude jokes. Perhaps he missed a calling as a comedian at some stage in his career? Blunt often puts fairly rude jokes as a method of responding to people who mock him.

This is a perfect example of that, with the original tweet pointing out that Blunt is small in height. However, he decided to take that in a dirty way and turned it into something else. While this would have flown over the heads of some of his younger followers. For any adults that follow him, it was hilarious and it is innocent enough to not offend young viewers in the process.

Trump Responder

Firing back at Donald Trump is something that many people have done for laughs since he became President, and James Blunt is no exception to that rule.

Blunt quote tweeted him after Trump stated "Something very big has just happened!" With the singer pretending that he was referring to the fact his music had just gone to number one. It's a tongue in cheek bit of comedy that certainly worked. It's funny and got a lot of people talking.

Jesus' Followers

Another hilarious tweet that James Blunt put out was back in 2013 when he fired back at someone who mocked him for only having 200,000 followers. While the account was clearly trying to be funny that Blunt didn't have as many followers as other singers, he had a sharp comeback.

Bringing religion into the equation, he simply stated that, "Jesus only needed twelve." It was a fantastic comeback and a hilarious tweet, with Blunt proving just how funny he can be.

Supermodels

Even though some people like to mock James Blunt for his music, he clearly is a well-known celebrity, and that has allowed him to live a life that many people wouldn't have expected. That was clear when he fired back at someone for claiming he hasn't done anything other than one song in his entire career.

Blunt didn't disagree about his own musical accomplishments, however, he did add that he has also done a few supermodels. Clearly giving a wink to his love life and mocking the person who tweeted him with a humble brag in the process.

His Crazy Party

James Blunt is always looking for the next opportunity to crack a joke and make people laugh, and at his album launch party, he struck on a golden moment.

Wearing an inflatable plane, drinking a beer, not talking to anybody, Blunt mocked his own party. Everyone has an image of Blunt being a boring person because of his music, and the fact he plays into that idea is hilarious. Obviously knowing that it will feed into people to create more of a conversation, Blunt is incredibly smart in what he does and this hilarious tweet is just one example of that.

Self Mockery

As you can tell by this list, James Blunt has absolutely no issues with ripping into the general public. While most celebrities would steer way clear of offending someone who could potentially buy their product, Blunt just lets them know exactly how he feels.

However, that doesn't mean he is against making a joke out of himself as well. His Twitter account isn't just for making fun of others, as he quite often points out that a large number of people don't like his music. Towards the end of 2016, that's exactly what he did to get people talking about his upcoming album. Stating: "If you thought 2016 was bad-I'm releasing an album in 2017."

Too Big For Ed

James Blunt's Twitter account has truly become a thing of legend. While it started out with just his fans appreciating what he was doing, Blunt's actions quickly caught on and gained a much bigger audience. Major names started mentioning him and getting in on the action, including Ed Sheeran, arguably the biggest pop star in the world.

This led to a hilarious interaction between him and Blunt. After Ed responded to a tweet of his asking to marry him, Blunt acted as if he was too big for him, stating that those types of requests must go through his management.
