Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon show how stupid ridiculous hashtags are

How many times have you used a hashtag today? Probably a lot. Hashtags have penetrated almost every social network, even Facebook has them and they have fast become one of the easiest ways to track a conversation online. People even use hastags in emails and text messages now. When will the madness end?

Truth be told though they can get quite out of hand and some hashtags are just plane ridiculous (#havingthebesttimeonasofabedrightnow) and pointless. When you think about how many hashtags are used in a day, do you ever wonder what you would sound like if you had a conversation using hashtags?

You don’t have to. TV funny man Jimmy Fallon and music industry mogul Justin Timberlake had the same thought.

In this hilarious video Timberlake and Fallon recreated a perfectly ordinary conversation with ridiculous hashtags tacked to every single statement. The video will have you stitches and maybe encourage you to use less crazy hashtags.
