50 Funny People of Twitter

I wanted to bring your attention to some people on Twitter who crack me up on a daily basis. I mentioned in my huge ass iPhone App wrap-up that I follow the Favstar site to read funny people. So - here they are. Well, these people, and everyone else on my humor list. In alphabetical order, showing a funny tweet from each, and the tweet linked to their Twitter page.

Have at it.






































































































And there you have it. 50 hilarious people on Twitter. Who are some of your faves?

Disclaimer: This post is in no way a veiled attempt to get more stars for myself.
~ Ha ha! JK! Star away, you punks!

P.P.S. Consider this like *ALL* my #followfridays for all of January and February AT LEAST! Maybe even March.

I think I was in that pharmacy mentioned in #50 on Saturday night.

Ha ha! This makes me want to start on Twitter to follow them.

That was great!

I think I'm witty and insightful in 140 characters or less...but I'm afraid I'm sometimes the only one laughing.

(BTW, blog looks awesome. I subscribe, so I don't usually click over.)

I think I'm going to officially delete my entire twitter list and just follow who you're following.

But I would have to add @paulscheer, @robheubel and @michaelianblack who consistenly make me feel very, very unfunny.

I'll never forget the night we thought we had a direct IRL line to Sween. We were swoony. Then we realized it wasn't going to be. That was a fun 25 minutes of us pretending to be 15 year olds and Sween becoming the Jonas Brothers of Twitter. Just for us though. No one else. I mean it ladies. Back off.

Crap. I even have @robheubel coming to my fracking phone. I KNEW I would forget people!

Thanks for the list. I find myself reading twitter updates now in lieu of Time Magazine. Who cares what's happening across the world, it is far more important to know that "ugly christmas sweaters" now have twitter accounts.

Blogger jon deal said...

I'm honored to be on that list, thanks!

And really, I did ask the pharmacy tech and she said that the number of 'scrips for Xanax type meds do seem go up slightly around the holidays.

Not that I would know anything about that, of course. I love my family deeply and am always delighted to hang out with them.

In defense of the damn lists, there isn't another mom blogger more A) unknown and B) fringey than me, and I'm on one. Of course, I had to threaten them with, "DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I USED TO LIVE RIGHT NEXT DOOR TOO?" to get on it.

That said, this may be the greatest list of anything, anywhere.

And you really need to meet my most recent ex-neighbor, @lukeinvan. You're welcome. :)

Blogger Aimee Greeblemonkey said...

Mr. Lady - I had a post all planned with YOU as Ponyboy cause you look more like him, but then you WENT AND GOT ON THE EFFING LIST and RUINED IT ALL. I even emailed Babble and told them about our former neighborliness but they said they didn't care, so I know YOU didn't use that excuse, SO THERE. Just kidding. They told me we could share the title since we used to live 5 feet from each other.

Holy crap. That is potentially the best list I've ever seen.

Even my husband, who is anti-everything on the internet that's not written by video game companies is laughing. That's a fucking seal of approval right there.

I was only on Liz's list because I wanted to tweet her and gratuitously brag about my ability to make the perfect grilled cheese.

And also to laugh about how people do things like give me car seat door prizes and mail me formula vouchers even though, hey, no kids. But if I'm going to be willing to be part of some community that will have me as a member, it'll be the parent blog people. This way I have nice friends who drink wine with me but also always make sure I have extra napkins and I'm wearing a warm coat. Score.

All up in myTwitter:

@knitterplease
second Liz w/ @michaelianblack

@freshalina live-tweets Bravo shows like the Real Housewives and makes me laugh so hard it's embarrassing.

@sarahbellum

@effingboring

And finally, @FakeAPStylebook is so awesome, I want to retweet everything they tweet, so follow them and I'll feel less annoying. :)
