This past week, adland’s know-it-alls watched as Hillary Clinton broke the glass ceiling at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, and couldn’t stay quiet. They energized the conversation on Twitter with witty remarks about Bill Clinton, photos of Bernie onesies, memes of eagles and burritos and gifs of the first woman to receive the nomination for President.
Here are our favorite funny tweets of the DNC convention. (We were surprised to see just as many one-liners from industry peers as last week’s RNC version).
