Many Took To Twitter After It Was Announced That Osama bin Laden Was Dead. Some Had To Joke About It. Here Are Some Osama bin Laden Death Jokes

The death of a human being is usually not something to laugh about, though many people are finding humor in the fact that Osama bin Laden is dead. Plenty of people celebrated in the streets while others shared Osama bin Laden death jokes on Twitter, just moments after the official announcement was made by US president Barack Obama.

Perhaps Twitter's reaction to the news of Osama bin Laden's death was best summed up by users who tweeted a quote from Mark Twain: "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."

Here is a sampling of jokes and humorous remarks made on Twitter about the death of Osama bin Laden:

Albert Brooks tweeted: "Trump demanding to see Bin Laden death certificate." About a zillion other people made similar Donald Trump death certificate before and after Brooks.

Jimmy Fallon tweeted: "Got Bin Laden AND interrupted Celebrity Apprentice? Win for Obama all around," a reference to Obama's beef with Donald Trump.

Jimmy Kimmel: "I really hope bin laden didn't get reincarnated as one of Mariah Carey's babies."

Roastmaster General Jeffrey Ross said: "[Right] now George W Bush is sayin " What else is on?"

Comedian Dana Gould said: "Bin Laden officially dead, the same week we learned Obama officially born. Weird...:

Steven Amiri: "Right now, Matt Damon is in a log cabin, silently cleaning his gun and is pleased with a job well done."

"Right now, I bet Al-Qaeda is listening to Boyz II Men's 'It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday' and pouring out a yogurt soda."

"Toby Keith just wrote two albums in the last hour."

"I hope when Obama announces Bin Laden's death, he takes off his sunglasses, says something witty and just starts blasting The Who."

Anthony Jeselnik: "Man, I would NOT want to be 72 virgins right now."

Adam Hendra: R.I.P Osama Bin Laden - World Hide And Go Seek Champion (2001 - 2011)

BitterOldPunk: "Oh man I so hope the US soldier who killed Osama is gay."

Eugene Khoza: "Gadhafi increases his life cover policy."

movingsideways: "BREAKING: US TERROR ALERT LEVEL RAISED TO "CONFETTI."

.adHeadline { font: bold 10pt Arial; text-decoration: underline; color: blue; }.adText { font: 10pt Arial; text-decoration: none; color: bla How about a John Bonner joke?A visiting professor is giving a seminar on the supernatural. To get a feel for his audience, he asks, "How many people here believe in ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands. "Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you've ever seen a ghost?" About 40 students raise their hands. "That's really good. I'm glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?" Fifteen students raise their hands. "That's a great response. Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" Three students raise their hands. "That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question further: Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?" John Bonner, a student in the back raises his hand. The professor is astonished. He takes off his glasses, takes a step back, and says, "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have slept with a ghost. You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience." John Bonner replies with a nod and begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor says, "Well, tell us what it's like to have sex with a host." John Bonner replies, "Ghost!? I thought you said 'goats.'"

Yes, entirely different. One was 2 High Rise Buildings full of innocent working people, and now they killed the mastermind of that gutless act. I would ask you, in what way are they similar?? I hope some authorities come knocking on your door you suspicious Al Queda loving asshole. Mark Twain was never so appropriate.

Osama was murdered in cold blood by the US, he was unarmed. "Capture or Kill", bull shit. It was a pointless revenge attack on an old man who was bound to die soon anyway.

Are you serious? Catching and killing the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks that killed close to 3,000 innocent people is awesome! And if Americans want to make jokes about his death then that just brings them closure! Not to mention, in the USA we have the right to freedom of speech! We'll say want we want, when we want and you can go to hell anytime you want.

If you can seriously see those towers falling and not have a bit of feeling toward it..watching our own American people getting blown away then you have some serious issues my friend.. Bin laden is for sure a creature that should forever be resented in the eyes of an American.. He took the lives of thousands of innocent people on American soil.. A moment that those families of lost loved ones will never forget.. I'm with them and the true American people who are truly happy that this man has been brought to justice..
