Another account @BidenSmirk tweeted: "Face hurts...stuck in permanent #BidenSmirk for over an hour..." At one point in the night, according to Signal at Yahoo, about 6 percent of tweets mentioned Biden's laughing, which typically came during Ryan's answers. Mentions of Biden's laughter garnered the most tweets for a single term - more than 115,000 tweets. Though Republicans sought to portray the attention on Biden's laughter as negative, social media analysis shows that the commentary - at least online - was split roughly evenly between positive and negative comments. Despite the focus on Biden's laughter, no single moment in this vice presidential debate rivaled the Twitter hysteria that was sparked by Big Bird during last week's presidential debate. But when Biden quipped, "Now you're Jack Kennedy?" Twitter activity spiked to its highest level of the night.
