I warned in an earlier column recently that this was going to be the most fearful fortnight, and in many ways it has been, with Project Fear revisited.
There has been harsh language, such as Boris Johnson comparing Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP to "voracious weevils".
But this has also been one of the funniest elections I can remember, and not just because of satirical programmes like Ballotmonkeys and the cat jokes of STV political blogger, Stephen Daisley. There's been a rich vein of humour running through social media.
It all began during the referendum when Twitter storms erupted as if from nowhere parodying the excesses of the Better Together campaign predicting great depressions and suchlike disasters if Scotland voted Yes.
It continued into this election after the UK media became alarmed at the SNP surge in the Lord Ashcroft polls. "#Scotriots" reported waves of ironic social unrest across Scotland. "It's Armageddon in Cambusnethan ... Barricades in Inversnaid". This was soon trending as number one on UK Twitter site.
But peak sarcasm was reached on Sunday when #dollgate broke. That morning the Sun had excelled itself in absurdist character assassination when it reported that, as a child, Nicola Sturgeon had once "devilishly" hacked the hair off her sister Gillian's beloved Barbie doll.
"It was an early sign", the paper claimed, "of the ruthlessness of the woman who would split up the UK." This beside a then-and-now picture montage of Ms Sturgeon under the banner "Scotweiler".
Now, the so-called cybernats used to see red whenever their heroine was traduced. Many still do. But on Sunday most just had a laugh at the Sun's expense.
Twitter became a grisly showcase for appalling scenes of doll mutilation as people posted pictorial reconstructions of the terrible offence.
@LindaSemple tweeted in mock dismay: "How could you Nicola. Not angry, just disappointed."
To which the @NicolaSturgeon (for it was she) responded: "I'm not proud of it Linda. But I've changed. My niece's dolls have never come to any harm."
The First Minister went on to insist that it was a Sindy doll, not a Barbie as claimed.
The journalist Mandy Rhodes posted a picture of a dungaree wearing Patch doll (Barbie's non-sexist sister) that she confessed she had buried because it wasn't a proper Barbie.
#dollgate also went to number one on the UK Twitter trending charts, ahead of sporting events, celebrities and reality TV. Politics was turning into entertainment.
And when the Tory Home Secretary, Teresa May, said later that a Labour SNP pact would be "the worst crisis since the abdication" it all kicked off again. This was soon trending number one as the twitterati posted their suggestions for the #WorstCrisisSinceTheAbdication.
The journalist Ian Fraser suggested: "When there's no hot dinner and you have to tell Clarkson"; "Unexpected item in bagging area" said another. "Bought Ronseal and it didn't do what it said on the tin ... Shake N Vac didn't put the freshness back."
But then it became truly surreal when the former Labour Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, tweeted: "I had to eat fish and chips without vinegar tonight."
Ok, it's maybe a little childish. But it's all good clean fun. And there was a serious point being made. Ridicule is more effective than rage.
The previous week, the SNP candidate for Edinburgh South Neil Hay, had been excoriated in the press for once having anonymously accused opponents of being "Quislings", or Nazi collaborators.
In fact, all he'd done was post a reference to the "Quisling of the Month" which appears on a satirical Nationalist site called "Scotlandshire". But Ms Sturgeon was evidently not pleased, though she stopped short of sacking him.
The message to the SNP's legions of internet fans is that they must watch their language. Anything that could be construed in a negative light will be picked out of the mass of random communications and placed on the front page of Unionist newspapers.
So the act has been cleaned up. The cybernats have become a bit like the Scottish football supporters, the Tartan Army, who did a similar job of transforming their image from football hooligans to the most fun-loving fans in the world.
The one difference, of course, is that Scotland's football team were perennial losers. If yesterday's TNS opinion poll is correct, the SNP are about to win up to 57 of Scotland's 59 Westminster seats.
Now there's a laugh.
