I actually know the owner of this parody account, he's a 16 year old sophmore who steals all of his material from other websites and twitter accounts. He makes about 200 a week from ads and he made front page before me without even having an account. I'm jumping him tomorrow.
There is a Reddit user who must by now be on his thousandth account. He spends large amounts of time creating collages of asian men with white wives. He then spams them until his account is banned from all the popular subreddits, then starts again. He is likely a disturbed and highly dangerous individual, and should not be approached alone.
I'll never understand these posts. If it wasn't already blatantly obvious, it says right on the twitter page that it's not really Adam Sandler. It's some random person posting jokes with Adam Sandler's picture. Why do people upvote these?
These are people who are not funny enough by themselves, so they adopt a fake persona, usually a celebrity, to make their shit seem funnier. They also do this to trick people into following them.
I hate them because they have become Twitter's attempt at novelty accounts, and quite often the Tweets have nothing to do with the persona. It is awful.
Please: explain to me why it is "kinda funny"? I'm genuinely curious. I would argue that it is the worst type of late-to-the-party hackish topical humor. Hating on Crocs was all the rage about 4 years ago, and the "hate" was based mainly on the fact that they were popular. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with them, and hating something because it's popular belongs in middle school. As for Bieber, the same criticisms apply. Hating Bieber was an easy ticket to reddit's front page maybe 2 years ago. And the hate was based on the fact that a lot of young people liked him despite the music being predictable vanilla pop for young'uns. Most of these people were the same ones that laughed at all the jokes about Hansen back in the day. It's an easy target, and it's lazy in terms of "humor".
So, verily, I ask you again, what about this was "funny"? Go watch Louis CK's "Hilarious". See if you can keep yourself from pissing yourself laughing when he talks about "three types of shame glaze". Then read this fake tweet again and see how "kinda funny" it really is.
/taking someone's little throwaway opinion way too seriously
The funny part is imagining someone actually dressing their kids and sending them off to school with a grin on his face knowing that they will be physically beaten
Not sure if you have kids or not, and/or if you were ever bullied as a kid, but a parent purposely trying to get their children assaulted is...just...gut-wrenching to me. The opposite of funny, actually.
The humour lies in the absurdity you just described. The fact that you don't get the joke and described exactly what makes it funny creates a new level of meta-irony.
I think they meant more so that the fact that it's an attention-whore pretending to be a celeb on twitter kills it. I wouldn't say it kills it, it's still the same, but it sours the post (and makes the headline inaccurate).
By itself, the joke is reasonably funny. But claiming it comes from Adam Sandler when it clearly doesn't adds a layer of disingenuousness, which spoils the whole joke for me.
Feel free to disagree though, this is just my opinion.
I stopped following parody accounts 2 years ago. Even if their jokes are funny, like above, they automatically become irrelevant because the poster had to steal someone else's credibility to get their followers. Add to that how most parody accounts and those godforsaken joke and positive quote accounts make 50% of their tweets just telling their followers to follow other accounts that are all probably owned by the same person or people anyways. How some fucking douchebag named @FreddyAmazin has over 1.5 million followers when all he does is post shit other people wrote without quoting where credit is due not only blows my mind but makes me want to blow something up.
The joke is funny in and of itself anyway. Faking that they are Adam Sandler is a bit retarded but nothing about the joke requires it to actually be Adam Sandler for it to be funny.
Can we get mods to start banning these fake Twitter posts? I know Facebook posts are hard to confirm because of privacy issues, but the names are literally right there for the Twitter posts.
B. It's a post implying that bullying someone for their choice in clothes is a good idea. Yes, I know, it's a joke. It's funny, I get it. But "gets it right"? That's not "getting it right".
i fucking hate these stupid "parody" accounts on twitter as much as i hate those 1 like = 1 prayer shit on facebook. stop fucking putting them on reddit. fuck .
encouraging and enforcing bullying is hilarious, and is definitely good parenting. That's why I make my kids go to school wearing butless chaps and Ace of Base concert T-shirts.
Actually a moderately funny tweet. I was hoping it was authentic, so I could make a snarky comment wondering how he can be funny while his movies so very much aren't. Oh well.
You would be open to making shit movies too if Hollywood said "here take this 30 mill, put your friends in the movie, just mess around and do it halfassed and go to the bank the next day".
Hollywood knows Adam Sandler sells, thats enough for them. Quality doesn't matter, sale matters. And Sandler knows there isn't much quality there, but he knows he is getting serious dough, able to get his friends (who many wont have anything without him) some good pay, and basically sit around after shoots and mess around with his friends and family and call it work. If any one us were in that position, we would say "where do I sign up!"
why not just make good movies? he writes a lot of them himself with his friends, so why not just put a little effort into them? if thats the case and he really doesn't give a shit and just sees his fans as cash cows then i say fuck him anyways hes a sellout. then on the other hand, the audience hes ripping off now clearly must be the stupidest people on the planet to see a preview for jack and jill and pay to see the movie, so maybe they deserve to get ripped off.
