Twitter in Focus: Neal Brennan
on June 15, 2011 at 12:01 amHey Bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die. Today’s contestant co-created one of the funniest shows on Comedy Central, The Dave Chapelle Show. No, it’s not Dave Chapelle, but the man behind the scenes, Neal Brennan. Let’s see if his tweet match up to his legendary show.
June 12th: “My brother is the wrong, violent type.”
Was that this guy?
June 12th: “When someone on Facebook says, “Thanks for the add,” I immediately regret having added them.”
Fine! Then I’m rescinding my Mafia Wars invite. Happy?!
June 12th: “If you want to avoid a sexting scandal, do what I do and send pics of other guys dicks w/ the caption, “Mine in similar.””
Yeah, but if you’re already lying about your dick size and doing that, it could really complicate things.
June 12th: “”Green Lantern” looks like a crappy dream Ryan Reynolds wouldn’t be that excited to have had.”
Yeah, do they ever ask any ugly people to save the world?
June 12th: “Facebook has severely devalued the Happy Birthday wish.”
Just as Twitter has devalued the “I want a divorce” discussion.
June 12th: “LeBron to take his talents to Shut Your Mouth Beach.”
Ha!
June 13th: “Postal Rates: $11 for overnight delivery plus $55 parking ticket cuz of how long it takes to navigate the mailing process.”
Probably cheaper to drive your package to Jersey and mail it there then.
23 hours ago: “Chicago People: We hang this Friday? http://fb.me/CUmMIAdh http://say.ly/grupC4”
C’mon, Chicago bros, check out his show!
23 hours: “CNN: Astrologists find two gaping black holes in nearby galaxy. Name them Kim and Khloe. #bang”
Okay, I’ll say it, Chapelle was a dumbass.
22 hours ago: “A guy standing in front of his crying girlfriend is exactly as powerless as a girl standing in front of her smoking car.”
And both are usually responsible for the condition of the other.
22 hours ago: “A young girl dying from disease tweeted me. Her last wish is to get #whitepeoplefeetsmelllike trending. Help her.”
Well, she’s dying. The law says we have to do it.
20 hours ago: “CHICAGO people. Are you a little light on cash? Thursday do anything for you? http://ow.ly/5gXUy http://say.ly/rxopDV”
Chicago is normally so big on improv. I wonder if that hurts the stand up shows.
16 hours ago: “Reeeeaaaallly interesting article. http://tinyurl.com/3cdemka http://say.ly/EDipF6”
Pimp it, Neal. Pimp it. Speaking of pimps.
16 hours ago: “The overuse of the term, “shit-show” has turned into a real shit-show.”
Although the Google Images search for that term, pretty interesting.
7 hours ago: “My Irishness tells me to seek vengeance. My Catholicism tells me that vengeance belongs only to the lord. So I stew.”
And that’s how the Irish invented drinking.
Okay, let’s rate Neal’s tweets. Good balance of plugs and jokes. Not too pushy, but enough info to follow what he’s doing. I give him a 7 for Insanity, an 8 for Mustness and a 9 for Style. That’s an overall score of 8. He’s got me thinking that the funny on the Dave Chapelle Show might’ve been more Neal than Dave. Who knows?
