Funny Facebook status

There are a wide range of Facebook statuses that people leave in their message feed. For the sake of this post, I’m going to ignore the boring type of Facebook status that consists of someone telling someone else that they are eating pizza while watching Die Hard 2 on television again – the ‘types’ I’m talking about are intelligent Facebook statuses.

1 – The funny Facebook status
The most difficult to perfect, the funny Facebook status is one which contains some sort of joke or pun, but is not obvious straight away – you don’t want to be too ‘direct’ with your joke, but you do want to make people think for a moment and then laugh out loud. That’ll keep them coming back for more!

2 – The factual Facebook status
Usually people who put ‘facts’ in their update message just copy them from wikipedia, but still we should give them a fair voice because at least they have the brains to go there and find things. Generally, people will put facts in their status if they have nothing going on in their own life (and so they just need to live vicariously through some famous people or groups).

So there you have it – the two different types of Facebook status. I’m much more in favour of the funny Facebook status, as I think that if you can make some smile for a moment while they’re going about their daily business, then it’s much more fun than trying to suprise them with how smart you are (because invariably, it’s not you being smart but some other person in history). Anyway…I’ll be back later with another funny Facebook status, so stay tuned!
