Get Anna On Twitter, frequently used in the form of the hashtag #GetAnnaOnTwitter, is a running joke on the QI podcast No Such Thing As A Fish. The joke revolves around presenter Anna Ptaszynski not being on any forms of social media, including Twitter and Facebook. As such, when the other presenters give their Twitter handles at the end of the episode, Ptaszynski always says some variation on.
