Tensions sparked across the internet last night as Alex Salmond and Alistair Darling battled it out for the second time in a live televised debate.
But amidst the seriousness of talk on oil wealth, the NHS and the much discussed currency issues, there were a few light hearted views shared on Twitter.
Bake-off star James Morton asked if everyone “could just cuddle” while another user said the décor of the live studio had helped solve his interior design problems, bringing a few chuckles to Twitter’s version of debate.
If the debate had your blood boiling, take a backseat from the action, brew a tea and amuse yourself with the best and the worst Independence jokes doing the rounds in last night’s debate.
Anyone seen Glen Campbell tonight? His cardboard cutout is on the tele. #awful

Each man is so jealous of who the other man is in bed with. The sexual tension is palpable. #bbcindyref

I assume that man at the end is suppose to be controlling this debate or is he just waiting for a bus? #useless #bbcindyref

Well, the #bbcindyref has helped me make up my mind. That purple background is definitely the colour I want for my lavvy.

Love how Alex Salmond keeps stepping in front of his lectern, like he's a market trader selling severely out-of-date fruit #bbcindyref

I hope an iScotland can play football like Argentina. If it defaults on its debt, it'll have a credit rating like Argentina too. #bbcindyref
