The day Monkboy became a Monkman.
Tonight’s University Challenge fight was gripping. All eyes were on Monkman, as expected, but unfortunately he couldn’t quite secure the win against those pesky Oxford boys that all looked as though they were literally Bombay Bicycle Club.
Intelligence aside, the most important thing to emerge from the University Challenge final was the high standard of tweets we all pooled together to produce. It was fun, exciting and as always, dominated by #Monkman.
Here’s 12Â of the funniest tweets you might’ve missed and yes, we included our own because we are massive narcissists. Soz.
