Bummed out? Check out these Twitter handles which take their humour very seriously

Written by : TNM Staff

Twitter’s known for nastiness in 140 characters. But these people – mostly anonymous – are using their grey matter effortlessly it appears, to squeeze out humour with that character length. Where would we be with anonymous good Samaritans like this? Check them out:

Pakalu Papito (@pakalupapito)

Urban legend has it that people have even tried looking for him, but so far, s/he has remained successfully anonymous. Pakalu Papito and his/her camel have taken Twitter by a storm. Well, he’s the un-cool sidekick that many of us often feel like, and it’s good to know someone is public about it.

History of India (@RealHistoryPic)    

If you are looking for a history lesson on India, this is not the place for you (there are other, real, history handles). This account takes contemporary photos and captions them with a liberal and deeply political imagination designed to bite with its sarcasm. Oh, that the account description should give you enough indication of how seriously this chap takes humour.

Now, this is for people who like dark humour, and no, it isn’t quite the same as liking dark chocolate. This chap has a better sense of humour than the scriptwriters of a certain film who thought making fun of someone’s poverty was cool. Perhaps situational wretchedness could be used to describe this chap’s sense of humour.

Disclaimer: You might get confused with this handle’s idea of sarcasm and irony, because they can make their tweets sound really convincing.
