Stupid Fun
by Richard McVey
Filed under: 100 twitter accounts, twitter, tweets
Tweets should do one of two things—make us laugh and/or tell us something we care about. Unfortunately, the Twitter universe is brimming with Tweets about cute cats, self-promoting BS and pointless meandering thoughts. ("Taking a brisk walk.") To cut through the crap, we scoured thousands of Twitter accounts to bring you 100 that may make you think, "Hey, this Twitter thing isn't so crappy after all."
100. Conan O'Brien—Remember that redheaded guy who hosted that show? Well, he's still making us laugh. 

98. Justin (shitmydadsays) —From our former contributor Justin Halpern; it's just shit his dad says. And it's hilarious.

97. Kung Pow Chicken—The bio says it all: "I think I will ride my mechanical bull to work today."
96. Tim Siedell (Bad Banana)—A barrage of funny.

95. The Onion—The finest fake news Tweets around.

94. Funny or Die—A direct link to updates from the comedy video website co-founded by Will Ferrell.
93. ToplessRobot—Nerd news, humor and self-loathing.

92. Jason Sweeney—Yet another bio that says it all: "Limited edition, macaroni and glitter on construction paper." And his Tweets are brilliant.
91. CollegeHumor—Fans of the humor site can get Tweets on new content and staff ramblings.
90. Patton Oswalt—Smart-ass observationist.

89. Ethan Suplee—Best known as Randy on "My Name Is Earl," Suplee offers up commentary on life and his wife and kids.

88. Doug Benson—This funnyman is a fountain of sarcasm.

87. Michael McKean—The sometimes Spinal Tap member, sometimes actor dishes out his wry wit and commentary.

86. Kevin Nealon—Enter the mind of the former SNLer and current "Weeds" actor.

85. Rob Corddry—His clown icon is a tip-off that you're in store for some odd and bizarre Tweets. And you'd be right.

84. Rainn Wilson—You know him is Dwight on "The Office." However, 1.9 million followers know him for his funny, often twisted Tweets.

83. Jon Friedman—Enter the mind of comedian, editor of "Rejected" and blogger for "Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon."
![]()
82. Michael Ian Black—He's that guy from "The State" and "Ed" who pops up on VH1 all the time, and plays a mean round of celebrity poker.
81. Joel McHale—In between self-promoting Tweets about his NBC show "Community" and his regular gig on "The Soup," he'll often open a window into his bizarre thoughts.

80. Steve Agee—It's that dude from "The Sarah Silverman Program."

79. David Spade—When he's not promoting his own stuff, the "Rules of Engagement" star is a master of self-deprecating humor.
![]()
78. Paul Feig—Paul is a guy who wears suits and tries not to screw things up. He also created "Freaks and Geeks."

77. Danny DeVito—A drunk Lemoncello Tweet is coming. We just know it. If you doubt it, just check out his picture.
76. Hugh Hefner—If only to remind you that we all (including Mr. Playboy himself) have to do the same stupid shit to get into a girl's pants.

Don't forget @JustinBaney, his tweets are hillarious and you have a whole bunch listed that aren't really worth mentioning.

Guys don't twitter, period. If you twitter you are a little bitch. Why the fuck would I care what someone else has to say, every five minutes, all day long? No one is that damn important.
