But the social media world can prove tough to navigate (especially when bleary-eyed in bed) so we scoured the internet for funny tweets worthy of sharing in your WhatsApp group.

From jokes that will only see a millennial gasp “That’s so me!” to pop culture references that could well be used as an opening line on Tinder, here’s a handful of funny Twitter accounts you should be following.

Megan Amram

Megan Amram is the mastermind behind some of the funniest lines to have made the SNL, The Good Place and The Simpsons scripts. If you’re already a firm fan, then you’ll need to hit follow immediately on the social media star’s Twitter page.

Her trademark move? Every day since May 2017, the comedian has posted: “Today was the day Donald Trump finally became President”. 

Though she doesn’t rely on an automated bot, as she told The Cut: “I do it by hand whenever it seems the most relevant to me. It’s soothing to be able to do this every day, and I’m going to keep on doing it until he’s no longer President.”

From poking fun at singletons to teasing the reality of horrifying adulthood (we thought it was just us who have a newfound fondness for online menus), these are some of our favourites. 

Tabloid Art History

It’s the social media age and we’re just living in it with every pop culture moment, red carpet look and A-list headline boasting a 24-hour life. All it takes is a new day, a couple hundred clicks and a swipe (or three) and it’s #OldNews.

But Tabloid Art History is here to cement some of the biggest moments to grace the internet in the history books by comparing them to art through the ages.

From Kim Kardashian’s earring in the ocean meltdown back in 2011 compared to 1896 ‘Truth Coming Out of Her Wel’ by Jean-Léon Gérôme to Britney Spears at a Del Taco drivethru in 2007 compared to 1607 ‘David with the head of Goliath’ by Caravaggio, these are our favourites.

Elizabeth Windsor

As per tradition, the Queen remains stern-faced on most public engagements. But every so often, a photographer will catch Her Majesty stifling a giggle or cheering on her horse behind the sidelines.

Playing on the mystery behind the crown, a Twitter account has taken on the role of the Queen and spills her ‘thoughts’ on the internet with royal results.

From her thoughts on Brexit and Love Island to the Duke of Edinburgh’s famous driving incident of 2019, this is sure to prove a guilty pleasure for Windsor fans far and wide.

Bored Elon Musk

One of the greatest parody accounts to ever grace our feed, Bored Elon Musk pokes fun at the US entrepreneur’s well-documented ideas – which are often ridiculed online.

If you thought the SpaceX CEO has some pretty impressive ideas then you’re sure to enjoy his alter-ego, as the Twitter account posts a number of incredible ideas of admittedly pretty genius inventions.

From an app which immediately runs a Google search when an unknown number calls you to Shazam that identifies that strange noise in the middle of the night, these are some of our favourites.

Netflix US

Although not a dedicated parody account, Netflix is a must-follow for serial bingers far and wide.

From jokes on the shows of the moment to embarrassingly relatable content (they mostly call out our episode-after-episode watching habits), once you start scrolling it’s hard to stop.

To be totally honest, we hit follow just to watch (and retweet) Cheer‘s Jerry mat talk people to work.

Whether you’re in need of a chuckle on the morning commute or a post-work pick-me-up, happiness is at your fingertips with Twitter never failing to draw a smile from even the grumpiest of faces.
