Celebrities who are unexpectedly great at Twitter

Ice-T
Jose Canseco
Cher
Liam Gallagher

Cher is the only one imo that is unexpected

i've heard about Canseco over the years and never bothered to look but I just did and omg it's amazing

I TROLLED JOSE CANSECO

Sometimes I believe I was a lycanthrope in a future life

Van Dyke Parks

In a world with no Dennis Rodman there would be no piece in Korea .think about it #nobleprizefortheworm

The Croz

Van Dyke Parks, not unexpected. This is going to be one of those threads with like 10 max solid examples.

Crosby? Come on. He was made for Twitter.

Woke Canseco vs Woke Axl Rose

Crosby? Come on. He was made for Twitter.

It's not his personality that makes his greatness at Twitter so unexpected, it's his age. People in their late 70s are not generally known for their facility with social media.

Robert Earnshaw

Since we sent robots to Mars before sending humans,isn’t it possible that the first extraterrestrials that we encounter on earth could not be the aliens themselves, but might be their technology instead?

this was pretty good.

that doesn't make him unexpectedly great at twitter. all he has to figure out is how to send a tweet. plenty of 70+ rockstars on twitter that know how to use it but are just boring. his candor on there isn't different than at any other point in his career. again, Cher is the only solid example itt.

yeah I think with Ice and LG the only unexpectedness is how much time they're prepared to fritter away on it. their content is relentlessly on brand

what about "robert earnshaw" tho xp

his machine gun goal celebration was legendary.

Chrissy Teigen
Susan Powter

Chrissy Teigen I thought about, but yes. Absolutely fits.

Al Roker is so hilariously petty and obsessed with his haters.

i can’t think of any that are good, unexpectedly or not

ice t seems good when you see the funniest shit getting RTd into your feed, but then you follow him and those are like 1/1000

Ice is terrible at twitter, which is very occasionally amusing

he’s probably the best 61-year-old video game obsessive on twitter though

James Blunt

Robyn Hitchcock

Luther Campbell is grammatically hopeless but can be funny in an original way. Too bad he tweets predominately about sports.

I judge Cher to be no more or less solid at twitter than icet

I also just wanted to type that post and check straight after that I typed it

Ruth Buzzi is quite good. Lots of old-school quips, but well-executed ones. We tend not to expect octogenarians to be witty but really there's no reason they can't be.

Neville Southall

Robert Earnshaw

He's no Neville Southall.

oops!

Is Craig Bellamy any good?

I heard he has some cracking bantz about beating up children!

seeing as celebz are bad and twitter is bad - there won't any real winners in this thread.

Hey, he's just picking on someone his own size.

lol!

John Tesh almost exclusively posts tips about health and saving money and such. Definitely worse uses of Twitter out there.

Chrissy Teigen is the only one that is consistently funny/witty for a non-comedic celebrity.

I subtract points for all the Huffpost pieces her tweets have birthed

I had know idea who she was until people I follow retweeted her. She is great.

I just looked at Huffpo because I was wondering why I never, ever look at it. The layout is still terrible.

jason isbell is good at twitter

yep. pretty sure he's the most famous non-politics person I follow

I remember Val Kilmer being great but it’s mostky promotional stuff now.

Once 50 Cent gave me a red muscle car because I loved my 69 GTO. Inside th trunk said #GUNIT and was FILLED w/amps and subwoofers. I wept.

— Val Kilmer (@valkilmer) January 29, 2017

val kilmer used to use the hashtag #VALIBU a lot which was cool

Val Kilmer fits, I don't remember him being insane in the 90s/early 00s

Tony Hawk would fit but his TL is mostly run of the mill, this is awesome though:

TSA agent (checking my ID): "Hawk, like that skateboarder Tony Hawk!"
Me: exactly
Her: "Cool, I wonder what he's up to these days"
Me: this

(Not Twitter, but) Kate Beckinsale is good at Instagram

Kate Beckinsale’s Instagram is extremely underrated pic.twitter.com/wLIHBjTypD

— jon (@prasejeebus) December 28, 2018

that's a good one. Martin Scorsese has an instagram just for his dog.

I have a vague connection to Liam and he's... not a great person. Don't encourage him!

Cher is the best tho, I <3 this dad joke

🚽Says "his administration is running like a fine tuned machine".
Yes....a Garbage Disposal

— Cher (@cher) February 17, 2017

yoko ono

not unexpected

Okay wait, is 'Liam Gallagher is not a great person' news? He's Liam Gallagher!

He's sort of transitioned from "unlikeable twat" to "lovable rogue" lately, at least in some press coverage.

I once asked the person who knows him if he had any redeemable qualities, and he said "That Liam's not in the room with us right now, but that's it"

you probably think Dennis Haskins is too old and lame to know how to wish his followers a Happy Thanksgiving

well guess what? if you thought that, you'd be WRONG

Celebrities who are insufferable on twitter:

Dan Rather

He's every lefty's concerned gramps over on FB too.

TAN MOM

TRUE
tbf I expect any wack packer to be good at twitter. Eric's was the best

Ryley Walker

Oh wait, I'm not sure how to gauge whether it's "unexpected" unless they're really old or something

Ryley Walker works, I didn't know he was a musician until like a week ago, thought he was just a poster. so yes, we got one

Reminded me of people being confused about John D's twitter, I remember him reposting or retweeting a lot of stuff along the lines of "wait... mountain goats makes music?"

not a celebrity but the government's official account for consumer product safety is uh....really weird

https://twitter.com/uscpsc/

Nice. Someone w/ limited skills really likes photoshop.

ha ha this is like when the Hollywood Handbook boys read the train safety ads
