Funny Tweeters To Follow In 2012 (And None Of Them Are Famous)

If you're not on Twitter, you're not only missing out on breaking news, rumoured deaths and the latest cat videos, but also, most importantly: having a guaranteed laugh - or at least: chuckle, or at the very least: smile - every day.

Because Twitter is full of very, very funny people. And many of these very, very funny people are not very, very famous. At all.

So may we be so bold as to suggest that you get your ass on Twitter, and then follow the tweeters below? And if you are on Twitter, then we suggest you simply do the latter.

Some of the following work as comedy writers, some of them work in offices, some of them do neither of those things - quite what they do, we have no idea. All we know is that they are what Liz Hurley would call 'civilians'. And they're just some of the many providers of jokes, puns, amusing observations, whimsical nonsense, giggles and sheer, utter delight that make Twitter such a joyful place to hang out.

If we missed out any of your favourite funny follows, let us know in the comments below. Oh, and we're @HuffPostUKCom. But, y'know: no pressure.

Marc Paterson: Twitter: 140 Characters But a Pitch Ain't One - Why I Quit

You may notice there's a Twitter feed on my profile page. You'll also notice that it's empty. That's because I took the momentous decision to close my account. I've left the party, I'm Indiana Jones, machete in hand, cutting the ropes and severing the bridge. Why? Am I insane?

Craig Kanalley: How I Lived For 2 Weeks Without Facebook And Twitter

The addiction is very real for me. Many told me I could never do it. I decided to try this anyway: Two weeks without publicly posting anything on Facebook or Twitter.

Ben Wakeling: Twitter: Bridging the Gap Between Celebs and Mere Mortals

There was a time when, in order to have a conversation with a celebrity, you had to stand outside the stage exit of a London theatre or club in the freezing cold for three hours; and, even then, there was no guarantee that you would get the dialogue you so longed for. If you were lucky, they'd brush past you, and you might catch a whiff of their sweat.

Andrea Mann: If You Like It Then You Should Have Put RT On It

The Beckhams' decision to go against the habit of a lifetime and give their child a daft name naturally prompted many jokes on the webosphere, one of which was this: "Harper Seven is how I'd imagine Beckham would announce what time she was born." Nice gag, eh? And the Daily Telegraph> agreed with me, going so far as to include it in this piece on the online reaction to Baby Beckham's name - with a lovely credit to me (for I am @jazzchantoozie on Twitter). My delight at seeing my Twitter handle in the Daily Telegraph was, unfortunately, only surpassed by the mortification I felt when I was alerted to it. Because there was just one small hitch. It wasn't my joke.

In recent times nothing on twitter (or elsewhere) has made me laugh as much as @thatsoph consistently, deliberately, naturally, incessantly hilarious (and deadly serious).

And in a rare moment of self promotion..
a few weeks ago i tweeted..
"My best, fastest, hardest working diamond miner has a cavity. #onepercentproblems"
