Chrissy Teigen I thought about, but yes. Absolutely fits.

Al Roker is so hilariously petty and obsessed with his haters.

i can’t think of any that are good, unexpectedly or not

ice t seems good when you see the funniest shit getting RTd into your feed, but then you follow him and those are like 1/1000

flopson, Friday, 11 January 2019 05:02 (five years ago) link

Ice is terrible at twitter, which is very occasionally amusing

he’s probably the best 61-year-old video game obsessive on twitter though

Luther Campbell is grammatically hopeless but can be funny in an original way. Too bad he tweets predominately about sports.

Josefa, Friday, 11 January 2019 12:50 (five years ago) link

I judge Cher to be no more or less solid at twitter than icet

xyzzzz__, Friday, 11 January 2019 13:00 (five years ago) link

I also just wanted to type that post and check straight after that I typed it

Ruth Buzzi is quite good. Lots of old-school quips, but well-executed ones. We tend not to expect octogenarians to be witty but really there's no reason they can't be.

Neville Southall

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 11 January 2019 13:15 (five years ago) link

Robert Earnshaw

He's no Neville Southall.

Never Turn Your Back On Virginia Woolf (Tom D.), Friday, 11 January 2019 13:17 (five years ago) link

oops!

Never Turn Your Back On Virginia Woolf (Tom D.), Friday, 11 January 2019 13:17 (five years ago) link

Is Craig Bellamy any good?

Never Turn Your Back On Virginia Woolf (Tom D.), Friday, 11 January 2019 13:18 (five years ago) link

I heard he has some cracking bantz about beating up children!

seeing as celebz are bad and twitter is bad - there won't any real winners in this thread.

calzino, Friday, 11 January 2019 13:21 (five years ago) link

Hey, he's just picking on someone his own size.

Never Turn Your Back On Virginia Woolf (Tom D.), Friday, 11 January 2019 13:24 (five years ago) link

lol!

calzino, Friday, 11 January 2019 13:25 (five years ago) link

John Tesh almost exclusively posts tips about health and saving money and such. Definitely worse uses of Twitter out there.

Chris L, Friday, 11 January 2019 14:55 (five years ago) link

Chrissy Teigen is the only one that is consistently funny/witty for a non-comedic celebrity.

Yerac, Friday, 11 January 2019 14:59 (five years ago) link

I subtract points for all the Huffpost pieces her tweets have birthed

We were never Breeting Borting (President Keyes), Friday, 11 January 2019 15:22 (five years ago) link

I had know idea who she was until people I follow retweeted her. She is great.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 11 January 2019 15:24 (five years ago) link

I just looked at Huffpo because I was wondering why I never, ever look at it. The layout is still terrible.

Yerac, Friday, 11 January 2019 15:36 (five years ago) link

jason isbell is good at twitter

harvey wall/barrier (voodoo chili), Friday, 11 January 2019 16:07 (five years ago) link

yep. pretty sure he's the most famous non-politics person I follow

I remember Val Kilmer being great but it’s mostky promotional stuff now.

JoeStork, Friday, 11 January 2019 17:10 (five years ago) link

Once 50 Cent gave me a red muscle car because I loved my 69 GTO. Inside th trunk said #GUNIT and was FILLED w/amps and subwoofers. I wept.

JoeStork, Friday, 11 January 2019 17:13 (five years ago) link

val kilmer used to use the hashtag #VALIBU a lot which was cool

( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Friday, 11 January 2019 17:19 (five years ago) link

Val Kilmer fits, I don't remember him being insane in the 90s/early 00s

Tony Hawk would fit but his TL is mostly run of the mill, this is awesome though:

TSA agent (checking my ID): "Hawk, like that skateboarder Tony Hawk!"
Me: exactly
Her: "Cool, I wonder what he's up to these days"
Me: this

(Not Twitter, but) Kate Beckinsale is good at Instagram

Kate Beckinsale’s Instagram is extremely underrated pic.twitter.com/wLIHBjTypD

jaymc, Friday, 11 January 2019 17:33 (five years ago) link

that's a good one. Martin Scorsese has an instagram just for his dog.

flappy bird, Friday, 11 January 2019 17:35 (five years ago) link

I have a vague connection to Liam and he's... not a great person. Don't encourage him!

Cher is the best tho, I <3 this dad joke

🚽Says "his administration is running like a fine tuned machine".
Yes....a Garbage Disposal

yoko ono

flopson, Friday, 11 January 2019 17:46 (five years ago) link

not unexpected

flappy bird, Friday, 11 January 2019 17:48 (five years ago) link

Okay wait, is 'Liam Gallagher is not a great person' news? He's Liam Gallagher!

Andrew Farrell, Friday, 11 January 2019 17:55 (five years ago) link

He's sort of transitioned from "unlikeable twat" to "lovable rogue" lately, at least in some press coverage.

I once asked the person who knows him if he had any redeemable qualities, and he said "That Liam's not in the room with us right now, but that's it"

Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 11 January 2019 19:22 (five years ago) link

you probably think Dennis Haskins is too old and lame to know how to wish his followers a Happy Thanksgiving

well guess what? if you thought that, you'd be WRONG

Celebrities who are insufferable on twitter:

Dan Rather

flappy bird, Friday, 11 January 2019 19:48 (five years ago) link

He's every lefty's concerned gramps over on FB too.

Infidels, Like Dylan In The Eighties (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 11 January 2019 20:12 (five years ago) link

TAN MOM

kurt schwitterz, Friday, 11 January 2019 20:18 (five years ago) link

TRUE
tbf I expect any wack packer to be good at twitter. Eric's was the best

flappy bird, Friday, 11 January 2019 22:01 (five years ago) link

Ryley Walker

Evan, Friday, 11 January 2019 22:04 (five years ago) link

Oh wait, I'm not sure how to gauge whether it's "unexpected" unless they're really old or something

Evan, Friday, 11 January 2019 22:05 (five years ago) link

Ryley Walker works, I didn't know he was a musician until like a week ago, thought he was just a poster. so yes, we got one

flappy bird, Friday, 11 January 2019 22:06 (five years ago) link

Reminded me of people being confused about John D's twitter, I remember him reposting or retweeting a lot of stuff along the lines of "wait... mountain goats makes music?"

flappy bird, Friday, 11 January 2019 22:07 (five years ago) link

five months pass...

not a celebrity but the government's official account for consumer product safety is uh....really weird

Nice. Someone w/ limited skills really likes photoshop.

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 15:45 (four years ago) link
