Following the best comedians on Twitter beats reading multi-level marketing spam. These are 10 funny celebrities worth following.
Michael Ian Black: He's got over 1.5 million followers. He rarely tweets more than 3 times a day and they're almost all funny like saying he needs to get better at doing things that people want to pay money for. That's actually good career advice.
Stephen Colbert: This comedian just hit over 2 million Twitter followers but just wishes there was some way to let you know he also has a TV show. He limits the tweets to a few a day and keeps them comical.
Sarah Silverman: This SNL graduate has over one million followers thanks to several tweets a day and virtually no promotion I could find. Love the observation that mass insanity is harder to spot.
Steve Martin: I love even the dumbest Steve Martin movies, and he takes a serious interest in art unlike celebrities who seem to treat it as a commodity. He's got a little over half a million followers. His tweets sometimes run over 10 a day, but they're usually hilarious or at least interesting.
John Cleese: Too much promotion but there's occasional gems like the anniversary tweet suggesting the show was nearly called Monkey Piston's Frying Circle. Over 800,000 people are following. You can also sign up for John Cleese's newsletter.
Sarah Thyre: This Los Angeles actress has under 3,000 followers but she's worth following if you think "Rape-ublican" is a funny word.
Sarah Palin: Sure, her bio doesn't mention being a comedian, but laugh at her not with her. Actually, I think following her sends the wrong message so just look discreetly.
Justin: This guy claims he's 29 years old and just writes down stuff his 74 years old dad says. With almost 2 million followers, he's sprucing up the image of adult men who still live with their parents, and he only tweets about once a month.
Louis C.K: If you like the TV show, you may want to join his 300,000 followers.
Tweet The Joke: Here you can follow lots of famous comedians who act as the day's host by writing an opening line. Then, you tweet the punch line with the hashtag "#tweetthejoke." They've only got 1,117 followers now, you don't get anything for winning, and the volume of tweets could get annoying. But, you may find more humorous people you want to follow.
Have fun following these funny comedians on Twitter.
