The best side-effect of a national event like a General Election? All the Twitter LOLZ.
An unexpectedly dramatic night brought out the very best in a lot of Tweeters, whose jokes, memes and dry observations powered many of us through a long night of vote-counting.
Here are some of the funniest election tweets:

The most disappointing thing about the UK election is there wasn't even a hint of Russian interference. It's like we don't matter at all.
