The 50 funniest tweets of 2011.
TWITTER


50.

Having sifted through our Twitter feed every weekday to gather our daily Tweet Picks, we've assembled a pretty comprehensive document of the year 2011. According to the people we follow, the biggest historical milestones of 2011 were Kim Kardashian's divorce, Steve Jobs's death, Facebook's redesign and all that crap Netflix tried to pull. We've gathered here the 50 standouts from our Tweet Picks to create a nice, succinctly worded snapshot of the year that was.

    "No officer, I'm not slurring my words... I just speak in cursive." Check out my twitter for the next list @danieldickey

    Are we really going to deny r/wingers the ability to poke fun at the leaders we chose, just because we believe something different? I can't believe I'm saying this, but the l/wingers on this site are being disgustingly biased.
    Humour is humour. Get over yourselves.

    Politically BIASED. C'mon, people of all political stripes love twitter humor, we don't want to see what is obviously a list compiled by a guy who can't put aside his personal politics in the name of finding what's funny.

    THis is great. Also saw this funny graphic on twitter http://bit.ly/xXTgi8

  • FT NZ | 01/12/2012 flag  |

    The fact that r/wing idiots are complaining about this just makes it funnier and in fact reinforces it. If you insist on voting for such a bunch of clowns and are unable to see past your own blind tribalism to the damage they're doing to your country, I guess it's too much to expect you'd have any kind of sense of humour. Wow.

  • Chris | 01/12/2012 flag  |

    The irony of complaining about bias while simultaneously calling liberals "retards"... but I will admit a couple of those political tweets were reaching.

  • AlanABQ | 01/09/2012 flag  |

    #20-
    Sounds good to me!

  • Alys | 01/07/2012 flag  |

    Um, yeah, most of these are bashing Republicans. What have Republicans done in the past year that DOESN'T deserve bashing?

    ...Though, to be fair, there had to be a couple of really good Obama-bashes that didn't get through. For shame. I can think of a good three off the top of my head.

  • Florida Girl | 01/06/2012 flag  |

    For real? I will chuckle at one Republican-bashing joke. Maybe a little snort at two. But when the only political jokes are bashing Republicans... Well, let's just say this list is about as well-balanced as a midget with one normal-sized leg. Way to go. Do you write for Family Guy, too? Because they also know how to lose the funny in trying to make an obnoxious point.

  • Oh Plz | 01/04/2012 flag  |

    Clearly the person who thought these were funny was some left-wing lib-tard. Newsflash: They're not. Gawd.

  • Dinishte | 01/01/2012 flag  |

    Didn't realize this was a liberal rag of top 50. Pathetic.

  • janedoe | 12/30/2011 flag  |

    How is No.1 funny? the Kardashians might be the stupidest people, but even they dont deserve to hear this about their late father!!

  • @ofnosurnamefame | 12/29/2011 flag  |

    At least 7-8 are copied tweets. Trying to find the sources.

  • @ofnosurnamefame | 12/29/2011 flag  |

    Have found at least one tweet which is a copy. @Starrlet17 has tweeted a very very old joke. Check out http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=113418161&page=1 for at least one reference from 2009!

  • GeorgeW | 12/26/2011 flag  |

    Fantastic. We have some really humorous tweeters out there.

  • Nordy | 12/25/2011 flag  |

    How do you post Tweets as pictures like this?

  • David P | 12/23/2011 flag  |

    Shakespeare wrote all of these tweets.

  • Nick | 12/22/2011 flag  |

    If you like funny "original"(I think) tweets then check out @gradstudentx

  • Hamid | 12/19/2011 flag  |

    Fantastic and funny list of tweets.

  • Michael O'Connor Clarke | 12/19/2011 flag  |

    That would be "fewer", Ingy. Not "less' followers; fewer.

  • Ingy | 12/19/2011 flag  |

    Wow, who cares who posted it first on Twitter? If your success story in life or your "claim to fame" is that you made this list, you deserve to be plagiarized. I'm going to look for funny quotes on Twitter by people with less followers than me and post them as my own to get credit as a protest to the people who are complaining about plagiarism in these comments. See you (and my name) on here next year!

  • duhhhhh | 12/19/2011 flag  |

    Actually.. 11/11/11 happens every 100 years, so it is possible it can happen twice in a lifetime...

  • rit4dz | 12/15/2011 flag  |

    interesting!!

  • Michael O'Connor Clarke | 12/14/2011 flag  |

    So, for what it's worth, a couple of friendly 'Net sleuths have pointed out to me in email that at least seven and possibly as many as 15 of these tweets are incorrectly attributed or just flat-out plagiarism.

    Of course, this is the Internet, where everything is bogus and people just ain't no good (as Nick Cave reminds us). But still. Nice job, Happy Place. Hope someone buys you a Google for Christmas.

  • Stewie7 | 12/14/2011 flag  |

    I thought these were supposed to be funny....

  • Emmerson | 12/14/2011 flag  |

    #7 was originally written by me

    http://favstar.fm/users/Momfia/status/23299208282902528

  • Lilianne | 12/14/2011 flag  |

    #21 isn't original. It's from a stand up act and it's a popular online quote. You might go so far as to say it's plagiarized.

  • Michael O'Connor Clarke | 12/14/2011 flag  |

    I think I'd find #13 a whole lot funnier if I hadn't originally posted it three hours earlier than the dude credited here (source: http://twitter.com/#!/michaelocc/status/112148312420909056). Just sayin'

  • Eddy | 12/13/2011 flag  |

    any 50 tweets from the @AshishpalSingh account are better than at least 30 of these.

  • taylor | 12/13/2011 flag  |

    #21 is plagiarized.

  • Picus | 12/13/2011 flag  |

    I can't believe I didn't like a list made by a liberal cockhole who apparently dislikes the Red Sox.

  • Dave | 12/13/2011 flag  |

    Number four should have won. Braden was overrated this year, IMO

  • phil m | 12/13/2011 flag  |

    Great list, but what's the deal with number 9? It's not even a joke...
