Tweet Fakery 101: Learn How to Create Hilarious Fake Tweets to Prank Your Friends

Social networks have become our window to the outside world. Any thought, photograph or news spreads like wildfire on the wings of Twitter‘s famous blue bird. However, not everything we see on social networks is real and we are sure that on more than one occasion you have come across some fake news. As Terry Pratchett once said, “A lie can go around the world before the truth has time to get its boots on”. That is why it is the favorite way to play pranks as in the classic April’s Fools.

If you’ve ever wanted to surprise and make your colleagues laugh through social networks, you’ve come to the right place. In today’s article we are going to show you how to create fake tweets to prank your friends. How? Very simple, thanks to our selection of free tools to create funny posts on Twitter. Here we go!

TweetGen

We start our selection with Tweetgen, a free online tool with which in a matter of seconds you can create a fake tweet to surprise your friends. Its operation could not be simpler. Simply choose the type of image you want to create (you can choose between a tweet, a chain of replies, an account blocking image or an account suspension image) and start writing your great joke.

As we have already told you, one of the strong points of Tweetgen is that it is a very easy to use tool. First choose whether you want your tweet to emulate the light or dark mode of the social network, as well as the font for the publication. Once selected, upload the image of the Twitter account you want to imitate, its name, Twitter address, message and type the date of the post. After that click on “Generate image” and you will have your fake tweet created, now all that’s left is to send the image to your friends!

As an example, we have created a tweet in which we dreamed that Shakira clearly regrets not having read our article earlier. We haven’t used her name or real account address as it’s simply a funny example to demonstrate the results of the application (we don’t want to get in trouble). Isn’t it convincing?

Prank Me Not

As with the previous platform, Prank Me Not allows us to perform the same function, but with a special feature: we can also create fake private messages on Twitter, as well as Facebook chats and statuses on profile walls.

As soon as you enter the web page you will have seen that four categories appear: the first two for Facebook and the last two for Twitter. Choose the one you want and you will enter the editing menu. This is very similar to Tweetgen, although somewhat simpler. From it you can choose the image, name and address of the account to emulate as well as the message. Once you have selected the date of your post-broma, you will be able to see a preview image at the bottom of the screen and download it.

As you can see, the results are not as good as Tweetgen. The profile image appears square instead of round and, overall, it’s easier to tell that it’s a fake tweet. It’s still a great option for pranking your friends, especially if you’re also a Facebook user.
