Whenever one of us here at Mashable finds a new joke, meme or parody account, it quickly makes its way around the office.
We really get a kick out of hilarious Tumblrs, fake Twitter accounts and memes. They're a type of humor that brings digital geeks like us together for a laugh whether we're Apple fans or Windows users, Android owners or iPhone addicts. Internet humor bridges these gaps and unites all of us for a smirk, giggle or full-on laugh.
In the past year, we've seen so many great jokes pop up online. They're often a response to something happening in the news, like the Pepper Spraying Cop, or in pop culture, like the Ryan Gosling Hey Girl meme. They can also be a way for the digitally-savvy among us to have fun at the expense of others less familiar with technology, like @oldmansearch. Sometimes they're completely out of the blue, like the Sexy Sax Man.
We thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite web funnies we've come across this year. Here's to a great 2012 in web humor!
