Twitter in Focus: Garry Shandling
on May 11, 2011 at 12:01 amHey Bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die. Today’s contestant is Garry Shandling. The Garry Shandling show was genius, as well as the Larry Sanders Show. Let’s see if his tweets match up.
May 8th: “Once and for all: I’ve had no work done to the front of my face.”
Of course not, when they do a face lift, they pin all the skin in the back.
May 8th: “Truth is, I had eye laser surgery, but my eyes are so bad, the doctor said he’d have to go in thru the back.”
My doctor said the same thing about testing a hernia. I won’t fall for that again.
May 8th: “Sometimes when I stand-up for myself too fast, I get dizzy. Is that a symptom of low…. blood pressure or esteem?”
Depends. While you’re on the floor, do you sob in a fetal position for an hour?
May 8th: “Hold on, I have to take a leak.”
Garry, don’t work blue, you’re better than that.
May 8th: “Sorry, can’t hear you. Be right back!!!”
No, Garry, Twitter is a visual.
May 8th: “Everybody: Hold whatever you got!! I’m going to watch the historical loss the Lakers are currently suffering. Dallas shuts them out 4 – 0.”
Where’s your courtside celebrity fans now, Lakers? Huh? Where are they now?!
May 8th: “Every time I watch a bb game, I think that I should put in more wood floors. Really opens it up! Back later tonight. I salute you!!!”
And bleacher seating can really add to the value of your home.
May 8th: “I’m fighting Mosley next, and my sunday game guys playing Lakers next Sunday.”
No idea what you’re tweeting. But, here’s a clip from the Larry Sanders show.
22 hours ago: “Until I watched the Bin Laden videos, I didn’t realize it was silly to sit in a robe and watch yourself on TV!”
Why do you think Bin Laden got rid of his Internet?
21 hours ago: “I was at the doctor for a physical, standing in front of him, and he said, “Raise one hand.” I said, “Which one?” He said, “Surprise me.””
Thank you! He’ll be here all week folks!
Okay, let’s rate Garry’s tweets. I give him a 6 for Style, 7 for Mustness and 8 for Insanity. That’s an overall score of 7. Not bad. Worth checking out. And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email us here.
