Twitter in Focus: Paul F. Tompkins
on April 2, 2014 at 12:28 amHey Bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die. Today’s contestant is comedian, Paul F. Tompkins. He’s funny on stage, let’s see what he’s tweeting.
March 20th: “I make my triumphant return to @NeverNotFunny today. You’re all WELCOME. http://ear.wf/1iFyEbX”
You are podcasting the shit out of the Internet.
March 21st: “You should already be subscribed to Getting On With @JamesUrbaniak, but Ep. 17 features @janiehaddad, a wife of mine! http://bit.ly/1ganX0K”
Oh, wow! I hope it’s the funny wife! So much of your harem is just, well, normal.
March 28th: “”Please. Tiny Lister was my father. You can call me Tiny Lister, Jr.” – Tiny Lister, Jr.”
That’s Mr. Tiny Lister to you!
March 30th: “Thanks to all who came out to @LargoLosAngeles for #Varietopia last night. It is good to be back at you, peoples!”
Grammatically incorrect, but he’s a comedian, not an English teacher.
March 30th: “(1/2) Last night’s #Varietopia last night, featured a theremin-rock version of the Doctor Who theme, @michaelsheen in a sketch…”
Wow, you really crushed the nerd demo.
March 30th: “2/2) …magic by @standupmagician, & me, @Mike_Eagle & @michaelsheen singing a Shirley Bassey/Jay-Z/Tenacious D mashup. And: JW Stillwater.”
Hey! It’s a 140 characters for a REASON. Probably not a good one, but still…
March 30th: “If you’ll be in Los Angeles on April 26th, you should probably come to #Varietopia. Here go some tickets! http://bit.ly/Varietopia”
Sounds vaguely improv-y, but I would be there if I was in L.A.
March 31st: “MANHATTAN! See The Doyles in their home borough! @ThrillingAdv at @TownHallNYC! Sat May 10! http://bit.ly/1faUQq3 pic.twitter.com/ZePDrbnUul”
Double plug. Although, he may not be in this group. Not sure.
11 hours ago: “Shooting #SpeakeasyWithPFT this Saturday. Got questions for my guest Brandon T. Jackson? Ask ’em & follow @MadeMan for answers! #AskBrandonT”
Yes, who is Brandon T. Jackson? (*google-google*) Oh, that Tropic Thunder dude. He’s cool. Ask him, will Tropic Thunder II be the Thunderest one, yet?
3 hours ago: “LOS ANGELES: Come see @DeadAuthorPod this Friday, w/me as HG Wells & @JohnRossBowie as Rod Serling! Tix: http://bit.ly/DAPSerling”
Generous with the plugs.
Okay, let’s rate Paul’s tweets. A bit heavy on the plugs, but generous too. Hey, he’s a busy comedian. I give him a 7 for Insanity, an 8 for Style and an 8 for Mustness. That’s an overall score of 7.6. Follow Paul!
