7 times James Blunt was the funniest man on Twitter
Updated | By Sophie Baker
James Blunt might seem like the kinda guy who’s a bit quiet, and maybe doesn’t have the biggest personality in the room. We get it….but it turns out he is not only a hardcore ex-military tank driver, he is also a master of sarcasm and witty comebacks.

When a gym-goer was unhappy about the music choicesYeah, I bought those 20 million albums myself. RT @TroyJosephDavis: no one really likes James Blunt right?

When he threw shade at Noel Gallagher (who, admittedly, is not the most chilled guy in the music business)I’m not playing. This is a serious workout. RT @chappell_lewis: James Blunt is playing in the gym. This is unacceptable.

And when he threw shade at Noel Gallagher AGAIN…and the world laughed.For once, I agree with him. RT @NME: Noel Gallagher says songs about his own life would be 'more boring than James Blunt'

Sometimes people just have to be brought down to earth:Time to legalise assisted dying. RT @IndyMusic: Noel Gallagher says he cannot live in a world where Ed Sheeran sells out Wembley Stadium

And finally, when he acknowledged that even though he’s hilarious…a lot of people still just cannot deal with ‘Ýou’re Beautiful’ playing.I doubt either of them will answer. RT @EchoArena: Are you a massive @JamesBlunt fan? We want to hear your favourite track!
