Friday evening saw the latest and final debate of this general election as Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn went head-to-head on BBC One.
The two opposing leaders tackled a variety of subjects during their hour-long grilling by veteran political correspondent Nick Robinson.
The usual subjects such as Brexit, the NHS, anti-semitism, racism and just who is fit to run the country all came up but let's be honest, we're only here for the jokes and Twitter did not disappoint.

Most people just wanted to know when Andrew Neil was going to show up.

Seriously, at this point, Mordor sounds like a more attractive option.
It remains to be seen how influential this, or any of the debates, will be on the outcome of the election but if YouGov is anything to go by Boris Johnson will still be prime minister on December 13.
Oh...and YouGov awarded Johnson the win in the debate by 52 per cent to 48 per cent, the same result as the EU referendum. You honestly couldn't make this stuff up.
