Tease Your Tongue With Hilarious Tongue Twisters

Tongue twisters are short phrases, sentences or short little poems that are super hard to say quickly. Recently, I was watching an old episode of "America's Funniest Videos." One video in particular took me on a tour of terrific tongue twisters. That was it, I was hooked. I read about tongue twisters. I watched YouTube videos about them. I laughed till I cried trying to say them right. I knew right away that I had to share these hilarious bits of prose with you.

If you make it through this page without laughing uncontrollably, you're a stronger person than me.

Come let me take you on a tongue-tangling tour. Hold on to your chair!

Tongue Twisters Do Have A Purpose

Tongue twisters are often used to help with pronunciation, especially for those learning English or with speech difficulties, such as a lisp. They're good exercise, so to speak.

Tongue twisters are rumored to cure hiccups too. Maybe because you're laughing so hard?

Betty Botter had some butter,
"But, "she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter--
that would make my batter better."
Betty better butter Brad's bread.

So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

For Your Tongue Twisted Pleasure

  • Said the two to their tutor:
    "Is it harder to toot,
    Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"
  • She is a thistle sifter
    and she has a sieve of sifted thistles,
    and a sieve of unsifted thistles,
    and the sieve of unsifted thistles
    she sieves into the sieve of sifted thistles,
    because she is a thistle sifter.
