Perhaps one of the most challenging parts of making an impact on social media is coming up with something profound to say, especially in a 280 character Tweet. Crafting one often leaves us staring blankly at that little blinking cursor, hoping for a way to rephrase the Tweet to let up some characters for an image, a link, or that ever-essential hashtag.

Unsurprisingly, a Twitter bio is equally challenging. You mean to tell me that I only have 160 characters to explain to the Twittersphere who I am and what I do?

It might not seem like a big deal, but keep this in mind: Your bio is one of the main things people use to decide whether or not to follow you on Twitter — so what you write needs to count. Here are a few quick steps to help:

As we’ve mentioned, leaning on humor can be a quick way to show off your personality and make you seem relatable to audiences. To give you some inspiration, we’re taking a moment to highlight 31 high-quality, and sometimes amusing, Twitter bios that get the job done.

31 of the Funniest Twitter Bios We Could Find

1. @Twitter

Why this works:

You can’t have a list of great Twitter bios without including Twitter’s Twitter bio. It reads, “what’s happening?!” which is a clever play on the words displayed in the draft box before you type a Tweet. It’s humorous because Twitter is a busy and active platform, so it’s not uncommon to long on to the app, see a storm of tweets about something you don’t yet understand, and internally say, “What’s happening?!?”

2. @TheMikeTrainor

Why this works:

Comedian and writer Mike Trainor makes my inner seven-year-old want to ask him to pull my finger. Also, imagining Mr. Trainor saying, “He who smelt it,” while looking as dapper as he does in his profile picture is a little slice of added amusement. Plus, we can’t help but love this bio’s self-deprecation, in its allusion to the fact that one of his shows is “still airing somehow.”

3. @topicals

Why this works:

Skincare can sometimes be intimidating as there are a wide variety of products to choose from.

Topicals’ main goal is to remove that potential anxiety by creating products that are fun and exciting to use, and their Twitter bio tells us exactly that: “Skincare for funner flare-ups.”

4. @UberFacts

Why this works:

UberFacts fills our brains with seemingly unnecessary information all day, every day. Though with the rise of popularity in bar-hosted trivia nights and games like Trivia Crack, I wouldn’t say we’ll never need to know things like this:
