If you were my boyfriend...I'd burn those "Hammer pants."

With Tracy Morgan hosting the Billboard Music Awards this year, we were all anticipating a few shenanigans to go down courtesy of his sharp comedic tongue. Truth be told, we think he played it rather safe. Broadcasting "live" (yet somehow the East Coast once again saw it before us on the West which is total BS) from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and with tons of appearances by favorites like Madonna, Macklemore, David Guetta, Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj and the "Purple One" Prince, it was obvious that Twitter was about to come alive with squeals from tweens and more importantly, rib-jabbing comments from the cynics. And of course over here at the Weekly, we were just chomping at the bit to see what would be flying around the Twittersphere when the show was going down. Following the hashtag of choice for the show "#BBMA and #BBMAs," we captured a few gems that had us in stitches while this year's Billboard Music Awards kept us both entertained and totally annoyed.

Lucky for us we had a team from the OC and LA Weekly updating us on the latest news. With our air conditioners, clean-smelling bathrooms and plenty of action in the Tweetosphere, we were able to sit at home and be entertained in relaxed comfort while the rest of you sweated it out in the desert. For those of us not taking part in the three day festivities (Hey, there is always next year, right?), here are a few Twitter gems that had us feeling like we made the right choice all while pretending not to be bitter. And for all of you who were at Coachella and who might still be in recovery (good luck making it through the work day on Monday, suckas), here is what you missed out on. Jealous much?

Whoever said, "It's better to be a leader than a follower" clearly never knew how amazing that Twitter would become. Really people, where else can you get news, jokes, classic one-liners, endless links to OC Weekly articles, fake deaths, and animal GIFs all in one place? And you don't even have to reminisce about high school, pretend to remember people's birthdays, and ohhh and ahhh over baby pics? Yep! Twitter is pretty awesome.

OK, simmer down all you "diehard Facebookers" who lovvve to hate on Twitter. Our guess is that all of the misguided hate comes because you, A) Don't want to take the time to find out what Twitter is about (it takes all of 5 seconds), B) You're just to chatty to keep it to 140 characters, C) You think people are just DYING to see yet another picture of your kid or what you ate today, D) You just can't think of anything witty to say, or E) You take life too serious and when someone makes a joke you take it to heart. If A-E is the case, then yeah, stick to Facebook.

While there are some obvious greats when it comes bringing the comedy in "real life" on the stage, in writing, and on the big screen, some other people happen to be just as funny while partaking in the Twitter. Here are five of the funniest Tweet-o-holics we'd follow to the ends of the Internet.

Scrolling through Twitter, we clicked on "Trending" to get a sense of what the kids like today. The second most popular topic trending in the United States, sandwiched between "Hood Cereal Names" and Jessica Simpson's new baby's name? The fun-for-all game "Replace Band Names With Rape."
