Top 5 Funniest Twitter Personalities

Posted on by scatty

Twitter is where a lot of people go to get news, argue about politics or find out if their fantasy football running back is actually going to be in the starting lineup. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t still plenty of laughs to be had on Twitter, though. Some accounts are fully committed to making people laugh, and we thank them for that. If you want the brighter side of Twitter, here are five hilarious personalities that you should be following today.

5. Darth Vader (@darthvader)

Someone was very quick to pick up the @DarthVader handle on Twitter, and has been using it ever since, making it a parody account that roleplays what would be a real life Darth Vader on social media. On a post from the official Star Wars Twitter account, they wished everyone a happy Father’s Day, showing a picture from “The Mandalorian” and it read “to all the father figures in the galaxy doing the most.” Vader’s response? “Define ‘most.’” For similar fun, follow @lord_voldemort7 for in-character cynicism. 

4. Thoughts of Dog (@dog_feelings)

Started in March of 2017, Thoughts of Dog has become a massively successful, downright adorable and hilarious account with over 3.7 million followers. There are some extremely cute thoughts that we might not have realized would be actual dog thoughts. This includes “sometimes, the human pretends my body is a set of bongos. They don’t have much rhythm, but it makes them very happy” or “If I do a big stretch, but nobody is around to say, ‘ohhh big stretch,’ it was still a big stretch. It counts.”

3. Matthew Inman (@Oatmeal)

A cartoonist by trade, Matthew Inman has become a Twitter staple thanks to his creation, The Oatmeal, that has a Twitter following of nearly 650,000 people. This has even translated into the popular card game Exploding Kittens. Some of Inman’s finer tweets that have gained traction include “I feel like you could measure my stress levels by the number of knives covered in peanut butter that are in the sink.” We feel that one on a personal level.

2. Elizabeth Hackett (@LizHackett)

A screenwriter that has been involved with productions such as “A Perfect Pairing”, “Love, Guaranteed” and “Swept Up by Christmas”, Elizabeth Hackett is probably more well known for her Twitter account that has around 100,000 followers since first starting back in 2009. Hackett typically tweets multiple times per day, most of which are hilarious. “It’s 2:38 AM,” she tweets. “You can’t sleep. Under your bed, there’s a relentless stabbing sound as the clown tries to get a straw into a Capri Sun.”

1. Alec Sulkin (@thesulk)

You may not have heard of Alec Sulkin outside of Twitter, but you know his work. Sulkin got his start on late night television with Craig Kilborn’s show and has since worked for television shows such as “Family Guy”, “The Cleveland Show” and “Dads”. Continuing to work with “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane, Sulkin has also co-written the film “A Million Ways to Die in the West”. You can tell from his Twitter account that his humor translates onto the big screen, small screen and handheld screen thanks to tweets like “Anyone else do a completely psychological work-up on your friends before you use their bathroom hand towel?”

Top 5 Funniest TikTokers

Posted on by scatty

You can’t really go anywhere these days without having someone put a phone up to your face and showing you a TikTok video that you have to see. Because of this, you’ve probably become familiar with some of the people that garner the most views on the platform. But which ones are consistently funny and worth following when you sign up for TikTok? Here are five hilarious must see personalities that will provide plenty of entertainment.

5. Parker Kit Hill

If you’ve ever thought that high fashion was a bit much, then you’ll love profiles like Parker Kit Hill. Showcasing some of the goofiest that fashion has to offer, Hill is one of the most influential TikTokers, and one of the many that got their start on Vine. Now, Hill is working with companies like Target thanks to the massive online presence and has been able to maintain that comedy gold despite the big success.

4.Christina Najjar

It can be hard to break into an already saturated market, but that’s just what Christina Najjar did during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid 2020. Najjar started her TikTok profile under the name Tinx and has developed a massive following of over 1.5 million. She’s a bit older than most of the popular users on TikTok even though she’s in her early 30s, but she has figured out how to play the TikTok game. Her satire and deadpan delivery are top notch and a must follow.

3. Sarah Cooper

Sarah Cooper was already funny long before she became famous on TikTok, as the Jamaican had a stand-up career and even analyzed comedy for a hobby. She first went viral with a video that showcased how to appear smart, leaving Google and going into comedy on a full-time basis. It wasn’t until 2020 that Cooper started to garner a lot of online attention for being funny, and has since turned that into a strong following on TikTok thanks to her lip syncing of former president Donald Trump.

2. Khaby Lame

If you want to be the most followed person on TikTok, you have to bring something to the table. For Khaby lame, that would be comedy, and he took Charli D’Amelio’s top spot on TikTok in June 2022. The Senegal-born Lame has become known for his videos where he questions (without saying anything) life hack videos that seem nonsensical. Lame has been able to parlay his comedy into a major brand, forming partnerships with companies like Hugo Boss along the way. In terms of the most popular TikTok videos of all-time, a good chunk of those belong to Lame.

1. Brittany Broski

Even if you didn’t know her name before, there’s almost a guarantee that you know Brittany Tomlinson, a.k.a Brittany Broski thanks to her viral meme where she tried kombucha for the first time and made a facial expression that left an impression. Brittany had already been known for her improv comedy and took off on TikTok just a couple of months after making her account. Since then, she has been all over social media and even made it into a Super Bowl ad back in February 2020.

Top 5 Funniest YouTubers

Posted on by scatty

Some of us go to YouTube on a daily basis to get our news in a shorter form, listen to music or simply to laugh and be entertained. If you fall into the latter category then you probably know about some of the funniest YouTube channels. There are plenty to pick from and there’s really no way you can go wrong. However, there are a few channels that really stand out as being funny on such a consistent basis that they have us turning on the notification setting whenever they upload. Here are those YouTubers we can’t stop laughing with.

5. JonTron

While there may have been some controversy outside of his YouTube channel in recent years, the fact remains that JonTron has some of the funniest videos on the website. The former Game Grumps co-host Jon Jafari’s videos are longer in form and focus a lot on video games and movies. The production value is quite high, as well, which is why he isn’t pumping out videos left and right like many other YouTubers. The wait is worth it, though, as almost all of his videos are pure gold and the perfect amount of time to eat while watching.

4. Smosh

Founded all the way back in 2002, Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox founded Smosh and it has grown into an online media empire since then, and is now part of Mythical Entertainment. Smosh was one of the first big YouTube channels in its early days and is still churning out amazing content with Hecox still on board as one of the main members. Add in Courtney Miller, Shayne Topp and Damien Haas and you have a great dream team of comedy.

3. Kitboga

Though he’s known by most of his fans primarily as a Twitch streamer, Kitboga’s presence on YouTube is just as massive and a good way to digest his content that can run for hours with a lot of downtime while live. Kitboga baits scammers through using his digital prowess so that he’s not actually losing any money and driving these internet scammers crazy. If you aren’t laughing at the creative ways that Kitboga gets scammers to lose their minds, you might be one of those scammers.

2. Bad Lip Reading

Sports, music, political speeches, you name it, Bad Lip Reading finds a way to make it hilarious. The channel that was started back in 2011 has taken videos, silenced them and put their own audio in to make them seem like people are speaking complete gibberish most of the time. The channel has even partnered with the otherwise copyright strike happy NFL so that we get a new Super Bowl video every year.

1. videogamedunkey

If you’re a fan of dry humor and video game reviews that aren’t catering to the publishers, then videogamedunkey is the channel for you. Real name Jason Gastrow has been doing his videos for over 20 years now, dating back to his childhood, and has only gotten better with age. Gastrow does these videos all on his own and has inspired a lot of internet memes and catchphrases, especially regarding the games “Knack” and “Super Mario Bros. 2”.

Top 5 Funniest Instagrammers

Posted on by scatty

There was once a time where Instagram was really just for posting pictures from your phone and using filters to make them look more professional. Now, Instagram is a full-on social media platform where you can share memes, videos, and other forms of making people laugh to your heart’s content. Because of that, there have been many accounts that have amassed huge followings for their comedic content. Some are already famous people while others are almost completely anonymous. Here are five of the funniest Instagrammers that you should be following today.

5. GirlWithNoJob

For those that have ever been without a job, you tend to have a lot of free time. What better way to spend that free time than posting on Instagram and hoping that you end up making enough people laugh to become famous. That’s what Claudia Oshry did, and she ended up becoming a sensation that has more than 3 million followers. Oshry has used her fame to go on tour and write books, as well.

4. John Cena

Most people know John Cena already, as he’s one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all-time, as well as an A-list actor in Hollywood known for his roles in “The Suicide Squad” and “Bumblebee”. What may come as a surprise to many is that he also runs a hilariously cryptic and vague Instagram account. Now with around 18 million followers, Cena will post almost daily with people trying to figure out meaning. “These images will be posted without explanation,” Cena explains in his bio. “For your interpretation. Enjoy.”

3. Miserable_Men

We’ve all seen those guys at the mall that are sitting on benches or next to dressing rooms waiting for their significant others. Thankfully, there’s an entire Instagram page dedicated to these men that look extremely out of place and waiting to get home as soon as possible. Miserable_Men on Instagram has featured countless men staring off into space, looking at their phones or magazines, or simply just dozing off in public. It’s an entire photo book dedicated to a male’s rite of passage.

2. Baddiewinkle

When we get old, we tend to think that we’re still going to be cool and hip, but that’s just not in the cards for a lot of us. For Helen Elam, though, she’s the coolest grandma on the planet. Going under the pseudonym baddie Winkle, Elam has been at the forefront for elderly self expression and has developed a following of more than 3.3 million people. From dressing in bikinis to even hobnobbing with celebrities like Rihanna, Elam has done it all.

1. The Fat Jewish

Getting over 10 million followers on Instagram is no easy task unless you’re already a mainstream celebrity or athlete, but Josh Ostrovsky (aka The Fat Jewish) has done just that. A plus sized model from New York City, Ostrovsky started his account back in 2011 and a couple of years later went viral thanks to his hilarious videos. We’ve seen him branch out since then and he’s had cameo appearances in movies such as “Uncut Gems” and “Zoolander 2” while still posting frequently on Instagram where he first found stardom. Needless to say, he’s one of those “OG” Instagrammers that made it big.

Top 5 Funniest Facebook Personalities

Posted on by scatty

There was once a time on Facebook where we focused more on sharing memes and other hilarious posts rather than go shopping for random peoples’ items or getting into arguments over various topics. No worries, though, as there are still those pages that are designed to make us laugh on a daily basis. Some of them are names you recognize from those early days of Facebook while others are new kids on the block. For your dose of Facebook laughs, check out these five personalities on the platform.

5. Just Here To Ruin Your Day


If you like crude Photoshop works of some rather iconic or at least easily identifiable images, then Just Here to Ruin Your Day is here…to ruin your day. From gifs being rendered to make them look like they’re coming out of your computer screen to shots of Iron Man replacing his gear with henna tattoos, there’s plenty of comedy to pick from here. There’s about 320,000 followers now, and this page has been growing fast.

4. Classical Art Memes


We bet that hundreds if not thousands of years ago, people that were featured in paintings would ever think that they’d be featured in internet memes that were spread across the world. Then again, they didn’t know what memes or the internet were. Classical Art Memes on Facebook takes some art from long ago and makes it into relatable and modern memes. This includes an exasperated looking group with the caption “When a band that was huge in the early 2000s reunites and goes on tour but then they play new songs and none of the old stuff.”

3. Aunty Acid

There are some personalities on Facebook that have gotten so much attention on the platform that they were able to diverge off into other ventures. That includes Aunty Acid, who has been able to publish books with some of the musings found from the Facebook page. This pink haired character shares positive stories and jokes on a daily basis. “I’ve told everybody at my new job that I have a twin,” one post reads. “So when I bump into them in public I can just ignore them.”

2. Sarcasm Society

What do we know about the people that run the Sarcasm Society Facebook page? Well, not much, other than they make us laugh on a daily basis. There are over 3.6 million people that are following Sarcasm Society, which makes it one of the more followed comedy pages and is managed by Red Blue Media Inc. Content is frequently going viral thanks to Sarcasm Society, whether it be celebrity news or memes. Either way, you won’t be bored while browsing as new content comes in about every 15 minutes.

1. 9GAG

Though they aren’t often posting their own content, 9GAG is one of the original Facebook pages where we found curated memes that we could share. Because of this, 9GAG is the source of a lot of viral content on Facebook, and over 41.2 million people are following the page. There are a lot of different pages that fall under the 9GAG umbrella too, which includes fun facts, animals and positive messages just to name a few. In short, 9GAG is an institution on the internet at this point.

5 Tips For Instagram Supremacy

Posted on by scatty

Instagram boasts more than two billion monthly users all over the world. This means that there are billions of potential followers for individuals and brands. If you’ve been struggling to boost your presence on this popular social media platform, you may not be going about it the right way.

Read on for a roundup of 5 tips for getting more followers, boosting engagement, and reigning supreme on Instagram.

1. Be consistent

If you’re using Instagram to share photos with friends and family at whim, garnering more followers may not be your primary agenda. However, if you’re looking to build an audience, conquering Instagram is about much more than merely posting a photo when you feel inspired.

In order to gain people’s interest, trust, and loyalty—not to mention their likes and follows—consistency is key. Setting (and sticking to) a posting schedule lets people know exactly what to expect from you. 

2. Don’t buy followers

On the surface, purchasing followers looks like a quick and easy way to boost your profile. However, this tactic is likely to do more harm than good. 

Market research tells us over and over again that today’s consumers value authenticity over all else. Illegitimate followers hurt your account’s credibility by misrepresenting your audience. They also don’t generate ROI or buzz. 

Look at it this way. If you have 100,000 fake followers but you don’t have the comments, likes, and shares that would be generated by real followers, this lack of engagement will make your account look dead. (Or worse, fake.)

3. Promote, promote, promote

If you want people to find and follow your Instagram account, you have to get the word out. Make sure to include your account across all of your social networks as well as on your website and blog entries.

However, one of the best ways to promote your Instagram is by interacting with other people’s content. When you do so, they’re likely to interact with your content in return. 

Speaking of other people interacting with your content, be sure to respond to all comments on your posts. This is one of the easiest and more effective ways to nurture engagement. 

4. Post the right content (at the right time)

Anyone with any social media experience knows that some posts generate tons of engagement, while others hardly make a splash. While post performance may seem random, there’s usually some rhyme or reason to it. 

From filters and emojis in captions to post times and content types, seemingly small details can make a huge difference when it comes to post performance. Investing in Instagram analytics tools can help you drill down to understand what’s working and what’s not. 

This does take some degree of trial and error. The more content strategies you experiment with, the better data you’ll have to work with and learn from. 

Not sure where to begin when it comes to new content strategies? Keep up with the latest Instagram trends for ideas and inspiration.

5. Use hashtags wisely

Hashtags can be an excellent tool for finding followers. However, not all hashtags are created equally. Using the right ones can make or break a post. 

For starters, seek out hashtags that aren’t overpopulated to avoid your post getting lost in a sea of posts with the #love hashtag. Instead, utilize hashtags that relate to you, the post, your brand, and your target audience. The more relevant the connection, the more likely a user is to like and follow. 

While mastering hashtag use can seem overwhelming, there are many hashtag resources out there offering everything from best practices to tracking tools. 

 

5 Tips To Raise Your Profile On Twitter

Posted on by scatty

So your Twitter account isn’t growing as quickly as you’d like it. That’s okay—chances are, you’re missing out on some simple yet significant ways to boost your visibility, increase engagement, and attract more followers.

Wondering where to start?

We’ve got you covered with this roundup of tried and tested tips for raising your profile on Twitter.

1. Tweet often

Twitter is a seriously fast-moving platform. While inundating followers with posts carries a risk of alienating your followers on other platforms like Facebook and Instagram, this isn’t a concern on Twitter.

In fact, according to CoSchedule data, the optimal number of tweets for a business is 15 per day! 

While this may be on the more excessive side for a personal account, you get the point: More is better when it comes to building your profile on Twitter.

2. Tweet at the right times

It’s not just about how much you post, but also when you post. Research suggests that the best time to tweet is weekday mornings when people are first waking up and scrolling through the feeds.

On the other hand, Saturday is typically regarded as the worst day for posting.

This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t tweet on a weekend; however, you might consider reserving your best and most important tweets for plum time spots.

3. Retweet relevant content

Retweeting other users’ content is a useful strategy for several reasons. For starters, it helps you maintain your presence on Twitter even when you aren’t creating your own content.

Not only that, but if you are diligent about only retweeting relevant content, you’re also adding value demonstrating your authority—which helps build trust and loyalty. Time is a precious commodity. Mindfully curated retweets demonstrate your commitment to not wasting it.

Finally, retweeting relevant content is also an excellent way to enhance your visibility for the simple reason that when you retweet someone’s content, they’re likely to retweet yours, too.

4. Make it interactive

Boosting your presence on Twitter isn’t just about the content you tweet and retweet. It’s also about generating audience engagement.

Interactive content is one of the most powerful ways to engage followers. Games, contents, challenges, posts, questions, and polls are all proven strategies for motivating people to engage with your tweets.

One easy yet effective prompt?  “Retweet, like, or follow to enter.”

5. Make it visual

We often think of Twitter in terms of words—or character count, more specifically. However, if you’re not integrating images and videos into your Twitter strategy, you’re missing out on some major engagement potential.

In fact, Twitter has determined that tweets with photos and videos are 35 percent more successful than solely text-based posts. In addition to your own photos and videos, attention-grabbing visual content options include motivational quote posters, amusing memes, and useful infographics.

One last thing to keep in mind? The key to making the most of these and other Twitter strategies is to track, measure, and correct. The right metrics make it easy to understand which efforts are getting the best results so you can replicate them moving forward.
