7 Genuinely Funny Real People on Twitter
When Rackspace got hacked a couple of weeks ago, bad things happened to this blog. Draft posts vanished. Widgets disappeared. We got totally fed up. So, we moved to a new server and are rising from the wreckage and rebuilding.
We’re running a bit low on snark, so, instead of ranting endlessly about out of date server software, bad customer service, inadequate communication, general finger pointing during a crisis, and all that jazz, we give you seven people we follow who are genuinely funny.
@tremendousnews – For Dee, low self-esteem is an art form – tremendousnews.com
@thebloggess – Weird, neurotic, and wonderful – thebloggess.com
@sherigilmour – A woman with a serious attitude problem sherigilmour.com
@JuliaChildCIA – She doesn’t have a blog, but her most faved tweets list is a must read – favstar.fm
@HungryLikeKevin – Clever, with a heapin helping of snark sogoddamn.tumblr.com
And, a shout out to two Honorary Fail Bird Handlers, who are funny enough to write guest posts on this blog:
@stinginthetail – The Queen of Darkness, possibly the AntiChrist stinginthetail.wordpress.com
Guest post: Guy Kawasaki Did Not Invent That Motorbike
@jackassletters – One of the funniest people we know. Jackassletters.com
One of his guest posts: The Secret to Fewer Followers
You won’t find them in our FF list, because we don’t do that.
What funny people do you follow? We’d love to add them to our funny list.

These are great, I have a few of them on my webmix. I love funny tweeps so much that I aggregated them all on my [company website I own or work for], I made it public so anyone can see my Top 50 Funny Tweeps just by clicking “add this page” : [link to a page that doesn't have any of the people mentioned in this post]- Whenever I need a good laugh I just go to my webmix and start clicking on different tiles to see what each person is saying on Twitter. Soooo funny! Also I can share this with my friends who don’t have Twitter!

I’ll give you some credit, because you have at least one funny person on this list, but the fact that you don’t have @27bslash6 on this list means that you probably smell of cheap tobacco and genital warts. Though he may not have the funniest Twitter feed around, and he probably isn’t packed full of caramel and nougat, his tweets are a gateway to some of the most hilarious emails/stories and harassment techniques the Earth has to offer. Your list is labeled as funny people on Twitter, not the funnest Twitter feeds, so let’s not get hung up on technicalities… I’m not the one that left him off of the list to fulfill some childhood need to rebel. But, I’m willing to let it slide, because I think we’re close enough for that now. -That’s pretty much my favorite thing about us; we can move past these kinds of mistakes. Quit it, you’re gonna get me all misty-eyed and I’ll do something stupid like say the L word, give you a key to my apartment or fight for your honor in a cheesy 80′s movie.
