2. using a serious source to ask a rhetorical question

3. retweeting people in a facetious manner. Could be regular people complaining, could be Justin Bieber. The interesting thing about this tactic is that this joke doesn't involve any material of your own, but rather the appropriation of others. You're funny because you've recognized ____is funny. Like the twitter, written word, version of a Warhol painting.
People retweeting Justin Bieber saying Hi
People retweeting Amanda Bynes' crazy antics
4. The one word punchline.
