Twitter Jokes Of The Week: Week 8 (Of 52)

The Huffington Post UK   Andrea Mann   First Posted: 24/02/2012 14:40   Updated: 24/02/2012 15:06

Wow, what a week. David Haye changed his entrance song to An Eye For An Eye Of The Tiger, Eric Joyce MP was charged with a Commons assault, and the comedy world mourned the passing of Frank Carson... and Gregg Jevin. Sort of.

Oh, and we had Pancake Day. And some warm weather.

Naturally, the world of Twitter was making jokes about all of the above, and we've rounded up just some of the bestest, funniest tweets from the past seven days below (note: not all of them are topical, and many of them involve puns).

Remember to vote for your favourites using our handy star rating system (below right), and tell us here on Twitter who we should be adding to our follow list for more funnies. We'll be back next Friday with more of the same. Have a great weekend - and remember: don't look directly at the Sun on Sunday!

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.

Faisal J. Abbas: The Price of Tweeting

It may very well be "micro-blogging", but the recent global row over what were considered to be blasphemous tweets by a Saudi columnist have proven, yet again, how "macro" the impact of just 140 characters can be.

Poor Eric Joyce - they should cut him some slack. He must have had hell at school in Scotland with a second name like that.
Anyway, I bet some Tory called Jimmy looked at him funny & started it.

I think my joke is goodL
A man is driving down a country road, when he spots a farmer standing in the middle of a huge field of grass. He pulls the car over to the side of the road and notices that the farmer is just standing there, doing nothing, looking at nothing.
The man gets out of the car, walks all the way out to the farmer and asks him, "Ah excuse me mister, but what are you doing?"
The farmer replies, "I'm trying to win a Nobel Prize."
"How?" asks the man, puzzled.
"Well, I heard they give the Nobel Prize ... to people who are out standing in their field."
