After spending a good chunk of this year gathering Facebook posts entertaining enough for public consumption and/or ridicule, it felt less like we were putting together a humor website and more like we were preparing our PhD dissertation in sociology. These 50 posts were selected out of the hundreds we've shared with you throughout the year. They reflect all of the wit, self-absorption, shamelessness, and astounding unfamiliarity with basic grammar that makes Facebook such a wonderland of human frailty and woefully regrettable over-sharing. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did, and we thank you for being quick-fingered enough to screenshot your friends' more embarrassing status updates before they could click delete. Consider this list a year-end toast to everyone who makes Facebook the wonderful nightmare that it is...
Here's to the drama queens...


Here's to the people who think there's no such thing as a bad time for a status update...



Here's to commenters who know how to make the most of a Facebook photo...



Here's to the folks who really stay on top of their current events...

The last one reminds me of an old joke where someone says that the most important invention of all time was the wheel. When asked why, he answered "If u didn't have no wheel, how you gonna steer yo cadillac?

The best part is the symbol for person that the guy used in his post, 유, is actually a character pronounced "you". So I read it as, find the gay person: you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you. Cute, though. Never thought of using 유 to depict a person.

You don't want to see swearing/get offended by swearing, but you are swearing......??? See the irony? I agree - lots of swearing on Facebook, but don't complain about something AS you're doing it. Just a thought.

The first one and third one are not funny--what if that young woman and young man actually committed suicide? Calling these people "drama queens" is harmful since it places a stigma on depression and prevents people from seeking help for their illness. If anyone is contemplating suicide or having suicidal thoughts, please contact a helpline or go to an emergency room--it really does help to talk to someone (like a professional or another trained individual) and with help you can survive this period in your life and go on to a full, happy life. Trust me, I have first hand experience.

Carlos, facebook is NOT a public domain, it's to talk to ur friends (that are invited to join ur page) and for people to have a rant at whatever they want. If they want to swear on their own facebook it's their problem. My problem right now is that u just said "fuck" out of nothing and that offended me (NOT). Stop being an hypocrite, u don't like it fuck off and go to church

Sorry to be a stickler for whoever messed this up in photoshop, but the dates and time for "Confession To Make" are impossible. The response is time stamped before the original message. Better get your interns to fix this ASAP!

So what does "dome" actually mean? Dominatrix? Because that's usually shortened as "domme" (and not posted about on Facebook).
Also pretty sure the "my son is not a gangsta" was not posted by his dad (or he was intentionally trying to embarrass his son). -

the one thing i like to see in 2012 is no more swear words. why facebook and youtube allow such things to be published, it is a public domain, you would not see it in a news paper, just i don't feel that people have to express themselves in such ways as swearing over everything, one can swear but with an intelligence sort of way. not as if with attitude like they don't give a fuck who is reading it or if is offending

Dear Lynne. You pretty much signed your confidentiality away by joining facebook, bit late to be complaining about it now.
Secondly, this isn't fucking facebook you wheelchair assisted braintard. Check the address bar sometime. -
