(CNN) - In the social media age, you don't need to be at a party to enjoy clever or catty comments about the Super Bowl.
Twitter was ablaze Sunday evening with running commentary about every conceivable aspect of Super Bowl XLVI, from Patriots' tight end Rob Gronkowski's balky ankle to Madonna's acrobatic halftime show to all those commercials. (Yes, Clint Eastwood's gravelly voice is bringing Detroit back. And was that really Motley Crue shilling for Kia?)
These weren't the most informative tweets about Sunday's big game, but they were among the funniest. Here, in chronological order, are some of our favorites:
@FauxJohnMadden -- Tough break for Papa Johns.. If the coin toss is heads, they will give free pizzas to America. If it's tails, they have to feed Khloe Kardashian.
