Feeling down because your Twitter feed regurgitates the same boring hashtags and school-related complaints? Are memes and trends just not funny enough anymore? After recently joining the Twitter community, I realized this problem instantly after the first 20 followers did not quench my Twitter expectations. If you’re having these troubles, here are some Twitter accounts to make you laugh, intrigued or just keep you interested in what’s really going on the world.
Grumpy Cat: We’ve all been there: the world sucks. And there’s nothing you can do about it…except complain under the facade of a cat. Grumpy Cat (@ExtraGrumpyCat) tells it like it is and hilarity ensues with each tweet.
Highlighted Tweets: “50 Shades of I Hate Everyone” “Nice tan, what’s your race? Carrot?” “Roses are red. You’ve got a phone. Nobody texts you. Forever Alone.”
The Batman: Your Twitter needs a hero it deserves, so Batman (@God_Damn_Batman) created a Twitter account and saves the day one tweet at a time. His Dark Night attitude is what keeps me scrolling through my news feed, because really, who doesn’t love Batman? #TheJoker
Highlighted Tweets: “What you people call “a hostage situation,” I call “my 11 o’clock.” “Being Batman means having a hovering stealth jet and driving your three-ton tank-car on rooftops anyway.” “Resolutions 2013: Punch harder. Permanently dismantle Penguin’s crime empire. Organize Blu-rays.”
Blake Henderson: If you wach Workaholics, or just want a really funny opinion on everything ever, follow Blake Henderson (@WokaholicsBlake)! His tweets range from work related grievances to lady problems, but your news feed will never be empty once you click follow.
Highlighted Tweets: “I wish I had Kim Kardashian’s talent of not having any talent and making money out of it.”
“I hate Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and half of Friday.” “Lebron better than Jordan? Ha! Yeah right. Holla at me when Lebron saves the looney tunes from an alien race.”
New Canaan Kid Problems: Most of us hate it here. And most of us Tweet about it on an hourly basis. But New Canaan Kid Problems (@KidCanaan) takes that hate to the next level in a comical fashion. This Twitter focuses on the sad but true lives of teens in the 06840, and honestly, you will relate to at least some of what it has to say.
Highlighted Tweets: “Couldn’t the NCPD get something better than a dodge charger?” “It may be Friday, but don’t get too excited. You still live in New Canaan.” “Follow me….or face..my father’s lawsuit.”
