Twitter has become a hotbed for quickly sharing news or updates, and has also become a great place for a quick laugh. While 140 characters is not a lot to work with, many manage, and manage very well.
The social network has been pretty open from the beginning, allowing parody accounts as long as users make it clear the account is a parody.
From Betty White to the NSA, there many great examples. Here are just some of our favorites:
Jesus Christ
Look you can’t keep calling me every time you stub your toe.
— Jesus Christ (@jesus) April 8, 2013
Actually, I kinda like 9 inch nails
— Jesus Christ (@jesus) August 11, 2013
Jesus is a pretty busy guy, and he somehow finds time to use Twitter. Although he has a pretty big following, you should not expect him to follow you back anytime soon.
The Tweet Of God
Of the billions of problems in the world the worst ones, by far, are yours.
— God (@TheTweetOfGod) August 2, 2013
I’ve put in six honest days’ work in My whole career.
— God (@TheTweetOfGod) August 15, 2013
Not to be confused with Jesus, God tweets when he is not busy working on the universe. Showing his support for great music, God only follows Justin Bieber.
Betty F*ckin’ White
I’m just going to wait for “Jobs 2.” You know they’re going to release that in 9 months.
— Betty F*ckin’ White (@BettyFckinWhite) August 21, 2013
I hope every teen that loved the Twilight movies now has to deal with her mom loving 50 Shades of Grey movies.
— Betty F*ckin’ White (@BettyFckinWhite) September 3, 2013
From The Golden Girls to her quick wit, Betty White is a national treasure. What makes this parody account great is that you could actually hear her saying most of the things that are posted.
The Batman
That dose of Scarecrow toxin must have hit me harder than I thought. I had a terrible nightmare Ben Affleck was cast as Batman.
— The Batman (@TheBatman) August 23, 2013
Being Batman means you never have to worry about wearing white after Labor Day.
— The Batman (@TheBatman) September 2, 2013
The caped crusader himself, Batman is not always fighting crime or figuring out a way to spend his billions.
Not Mark Zuckerberg
You’re probably wondering how I came up with the awesome idea for Facebook’s new “hashtags.” All I’ll say is that a little birdy told me.
— Not Mark Zuckerberg (@notzuckerberg) June 19, 2013
So proud that Facebook shares have skyrocketed to 11% below our IPO price.
— Not Mark Zuckerberg (@notzuckerberg) July 25, 2013
Not as popular as the real guy on Faceboook, Not Mark Zuckerberg cracks a good joke every once in a while.
Modern Seinfeld
Elaine is uncomfortable about how excited her adult co-workers are for NSync at the VMAs. George’s gf dumps him for liking Miley’s twerking.
— Modern Seinfeld (@SeinfeldToday) August 26, 2013
George uses Craigslist to apartment hunt, ends up on a date w/ a man. J:”Did it say man for man?” G:”I thought he wanted a roommate, Jerry!”
— Modern Seinfeld (@SeinfeldToday) March 13, 2013
What would happen if Seinfeld was still on air? The Modern Seinfeld Twitter account explores that idea, and you can just picture scenes playing out in your head.
PRISM US Gov
You might not be America’s Most Wanted, but you’re at the top of our Watch List! #NSAPickUpLines
— PRISM US Gov (@PRISM_NSA) August 25, 2013
Just relax while we unzip your files. #NSAPickUpLines
— PRISM US Gov (@PRISM_NSA) August 25, 2013
The NSA has been the butt of many jokes ever since PRISM leaked, and this recently helped spur the trending hashtag #NSAPickUpLines.
THE Gary Busey
Pond jumpers are in the air at least half of the time.
— Gary Busey (@THEGaryBusey) August 31, 2013
Have you ever had a popcorn reverse burp?
— Gary Busey (@THEGaryBusey) July 3, 2013
Gary Busey is known to be a little out there, and this account is no exception. Get your dose of random wisdom, and, wait a second…this is Gary Busey’s actual Twitter profile.
What are your favorite parody Twitter accounts?
