With the results of the US election still too close to call, millions worldwide are watching the results come in – and they’re not holding back on Twitter.

But alongside the expert political analysis and second-by-second updates, thousands of people are also looking for some comic relief, as the US nervously waits for a clearer picture of who could be their next president.

Millions of votes are yet to be counted and some may not be counted for days – leaving the fate of the “battleground” states hanging in the balance.

While we wait, here are some of the best tweets of election night so far:

Obama wasn't perfect but staying up on election night felt like it was out of some hope for the future. Tonight it feels more like staying up to check that your drunk friend doesn't shit himself.

there will be people today who tell you it’s healthy to go on a walk. get some fresh air. step away from your phone. these people are liars. every second you spend online increases the odds your candidate will win.

It's almost like this election process was designed from people who were born in the 1700's.

I understand that the cable TV channels are going to pull out all the stops tonight but they needn't bother. Nothing — NOTHING — will top the BBC's coverage of the 1979 general election. pic.twitter.com/GY6kgWHbhe
