The 16 Funniest People to Follow on Twitter
Laughter really is the best medicine and, thanks to Twitter, a good chuckle only needs 140 characters. We’ve compiled a list of the funniest folks on the social media site so the next time you need to laugh, follow these handles and let hilarity ensue. And while you’re on a following spree, (#shamelessplug) make sure to follow @BritandCo!
1. Mindy Kaling, @mindykaling: We’ve already declared 10 reasons why we love Mindy. Her Twitter account is one of ’em.
2. Every Tweet Ever, @EveryTweet_Ever: What’s trending? Every Twitter cliché sent out by this handle.
3. Conan O’Brien, @ConanOBrien: The late-night host has 11.2 million followers, so it’s safe to say we’re not the only ones addicted to this Ginger. #sorrynotsorry
4. The Dark Lord, @Lord_Voldemort7: Wizards and Muzzles alike will laugh like they’re drunk off Butterbeer at the tweets typed by “he who must not be named.”
5. Condescending Wonka, @OhWonka: This Twitter handle came to life in March 2012 after a surge of insulting Willy Wonka memes took over the Internet.
6. Ken Jennings, @kenjennings: Answer: This 74-time Jeopardy champ is a witty beast on Twitter. Question: Who is Ken Jennings?
7. Ronan Farrow, @RonanFarrow: The son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen is no stranger to Twitter controversy. The Twittersphere went bananas on Father’s Day when he tweeted, “Happy father’s day-or as they call it in my family, happy brother-in-law’s day.”
8. Lena Dunham, @lenadunham: Lena’s made a career out of having no filter and a wicked sense of humor. If her new book, Not That Kind of Girl (out 10/7), is anything like tweets, we’ll be the first in line.
9. GS Elevator Gossip, @GSElevator: You know what they say: What happens in the Goldman Sachs elevators, stays in the Goldman Sachs elevators. Not.
10. Anna Kendrick, @AnnaKendrick47: We’ve already declared our love for the dry-humored Pitch Perfect star once, but we have no problem doing it again… and again… and again. Basically, she’s our girl crush for life.
11. Betty F*ckin’ White, @BettyFckinWhite: Betty White is the biggest 92-year-old badass we know. This parody account takes her out of control sense of humor to a new level.
12. Billy Eichner, @BillyEichner: Billy on the Street is even funnier on Twitter.
14. Megan Amram, @meganamram: In a sea full of bad Twitter puns, this Parks + Recreation writer rises above them all with her sharp and often ridiculous sentiments.
15. Chris Kelly, @imchriskelly: You don’t need to tune into Saturday Night Live each week to get your dose of funny. This SNL writer brings the laughs throughout the day.
16. Kelly Oxford, @kellyoxford: She made Time magazine’s top 140 Twitter feeds list twice… and she’s Canadian, eh!
