The funniest tweets of the #Blackout Bowl

The wisecrackers of Twitter were in full voice during Sunday's Super Bowl
Many tweets poked fun at the 35-minute power outage that interrupted the game
Jokesters also took aim at Beyonce, the Harbaugh brothers and the commercials




(CNN) -- Between the bad commercials, Beyonce's halftime gig, the Harbaugh brothers and the action on the field, the jokesters of Twitter had plenty to snicker about during Sunday's Super Bowl.
But then the lights went out in the Superdome, and Twitter really heat up.
The year's most-watched sporting event, interrupted by a 35-minute delay in the third quarter, may forever be known as the #Blackout Bowl. The bizarre interlude seemed to energize the San Francisco 49ers and the Twitterverse, which until then had been complaining about the one-sided game.
Twitter said its volume of chatter spiked during the blackout, reaching 231,500 tweets per minute. In total, there were 24.1 million tweets posted about the game and its halftime show, said Twitter in a blog post. By the beginning of the second half, Twitter said its volume of tweets had already surpassed last year's total for the whole game.

Is it wrong that I'm not watching the Super Bowl but still eating like I'm watching? #SuperBowl47— Bad Joan (@badjoan) February 4, 2013
