The Funniest Celebrities on Twitter

Twitter is a micro-blogging, social-networking website that is popular with an ever expanding base of users. In addition to regular Joe and Jane, there are many celebrities on Twitter, from controversial politicians like Sarah Palin to actors like Ashton Kutcher. Some celebrities on Twitter will tell you about stuff they're working on and their lives. And the celebrities on twitter on THIS list bring the funny:

 David Wain

Film-director and comedy writer David Wain has been attached to several hilarious comedy projects like the TV shows The State and Stella, the movies Wet Hot American Summer and Role Models and his web series Wainy Days. In between news about film projects and links to his video work online, Wain's Twitter account is filled with very funny, rather off kilter comedy along the lines of his film, TV and web work.

Sample Tweet: "I'm at a health spa where they infuse massage treatments with the aromas of bongwater, beer, ammonia and male ejaculate. Then mint tea."



Rainn Wilson

Rainn Wilson is an actor, writer and comedian who plays the character Dwight Schrute on NBC's hit comedy The Office. His very regularly updated Twitter account is a surefire destination for a laugh. He even has a really creative and funny regular feature called "Rainn in Therapy" where he asks his fans on Twitter to suggest what he should discuss in therapy.

Sample Tweet: "Has anyone heard this whole scary thing about Soy Milk being bad for you? Estrogen producing? Is that why I have a vagina on the tip of my penis?"




Jim Gaffigan

Jim Gaffigan is one the funniest working stand-up comedians right now. His 2006 comedy album Beyond the Pale (and the Comedy Central TV special of the same name) is one of the funniest comedy albums of recent memory and it served as a showcase for his brand of wickedly self-effacing comedy. So its no surprise Gaffigan's Twitter account is populated with similarly self-deprecating humor.

Sample Tweet: "What do you think kid rock and chris rock talk about at family reunions?"



Whitney Cummings

Whitney Cummings is an uproariously funny, relatively young stand-up comedian who specializes in a fairly dirty, adult brand of comedy. Cummings, much like Sarah Silverman before her, uses the dichotomy of her good looks and her dirty humor to her advantage.
