If you're on Twitter, you're probably familiar with #FollowFriday, a weekly tradition in which Twitter users recommend other Tweeters who you should be following. There are lots of reasons to suggest someone for Follow Friday: they may offer great insights, useful information, or general entertainment value.

For instance: some people on Twitter have mastered the art of condensed comedy. Here are a few of the funniest people we've found on Twitter, along with a selection of their hilarious 140-character communication. Think of it as a masterclass in how brevity really is the soul of wit. Think you know someone funnier? Send us their handle and maybe we'll include them in a future #FunnyFollowFriday.

Hey guys. If you plan on proposing to your girlfriend tomorrow, don't use your dead grandma's engagement ring, it's ugly.
