Weird Twitter is a loose genre of Internet humour dedicated to publication of humorous material on the social network Twitter that is disorganised and hard to explain.[1][2][3]

Related to anti-humour and created primarily by Twitter users who are not professional humourists, Weird Twitter-style jokes may be presented as disorganised thoughts, rather than in a conventional joke format or punctuated sentence structure.[4][5][6][7] The genre is based around the restriction of Twitter's 140-character message length, requiring jokes to be quite short.[8] The genre may also include repurposing of overlooked material on the internet, such as parodying posts made by spambots or deliberately amateurish images created in Paint.[9][10] The New York Times has described the genre as "inane" and intended "to subtly mock the site’s corporate and mainstream users."[11][12]
