Twitter in Focus: Rob Riggle
on August 3, 2011 at 12:01 amHey Bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus, where media comes to die! Today’s contestant is Rob Riggle, star of the Daily Show, the Hangover and on and on. He’s a hilarious ex-marine. Let’s see if his tweets match up.
July 7th: “Gettin’ ready to do some long-form improv at the UCB LA! Facebook Show! Green room shot! http://say.ly/alhtxG”
Aw, cool. Paul Scheer. That must’ve been cool. Rob, you should totally do an appearance on The League.
July 8th: “Just a half-yard! http://say.ly/ShetWz”
Holy shit. Nice!
July 11th: “Jake Johnson is on twitter now! He’s a great guy, very funny, super-talented actor… friend. @markjakejohnson”
Anyone that appeared in Drunk History, is okay by me.
July 13th: “I am hunkering down for “Carmageddon” here in LA this weekend. 405 closed…101 to the 10… OUCH! Movies and poker this weekend!”
You are livin’ a bro’s life, Rob.
July 16th: “Just won my first poker tournament! http://say.ly/fsyvcz”
Damn, everything’s coming up Rob.
July 16th: “Gotta thank @Sammlevine 4 his poker tutelage!”
Of course. A geek from Freaks and Geeks has to know something about math.
July 21st: “The new NTSF: SD: SUV Trailer! Check it out on Adult Swim! http://www.adultswim.com/presents/ntsfsdsuv/index.html”
Good advice in that PSA.
July 23rd: “R.I.P. Amy Winehouse. Also, thoughts and prayers going out to people of Norway…”
A rough week for Europe all around.
July 26th: “Went to Train and Maroon 5 last night at Hollywood Bowl! Truly, truly amazing show! Well done & Congrats to @adamlevine!”
God dammit. I want Rob’s life.
July 26th: “Gonna be at @LargoLosAngeles tonight with @nickkroll, @rustyrockets (Russell Brand), @jondaly, @natashaleggero. Show starts at 9 p.m.”
Dude, you are living the Hollywood life. Hope it never ends. Or if it does, I hope you own Sony by the time its over.
July 28th: “Okay @PeteCarroll, I’m ready for another shot with the team! This is the year! http://say.ly/GRxxmT”
And at 7 and 9, you CAN help.
July 28th: “Gotz 2 do what I gotz 2 do…RT @PeteCarroll: schmoozing w/ the GM isn’t going to get it done this year… it’s all about talent!”
Well, NFC West talent anyways.
20 hours ago: “Hey… we’ll see what happens…. I’m very excited though…. http://dlvr.it/dSh56”
Finally! Dude, congrats. This is good for two reasons: 1) Rob will have a show which will probably be awesome and 2) websites are finally getting TV deals. It’s a win-win post for me.
Okay, let’s rate Rob‘s tweets. I like the kind of slice-of-life stuff. I think some comics try to write jokes. He just seems like he’s having fun. A good mix of that and plugs. I give Rob a 7 for Insanity, 8 for Mustness and a 9 for Style. That’s an overall score of 8. Good luck with the new show, Rob!
