Twitter in Focus: Brett Gelman
on June 15, 2016 at 12:01 amHey Bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die! Today’s contestant is Brett Gelman, funny guy on Adult Swim, amongst other places. Let’s see what he’s tweeting.
June 12th: “America today is like Nazi Germany knocked up The McCarthy Era in the back alley of a KFC.”
And yet, the pretzels and beer haven’t gotten any better.
June 12th: “One thing the Minneapolis airport needs more of are white guys that dress like they’re hunting and golfing at the same time.”
Oh, like you want to be caught on the eighth hole without a gun when a 9-pointer runs by or one of your friends makes fun of your swing?!
June 12th: “By 2018 walking will be completely replaced by heavy stomping.”
I’m sensing a theme. An angry theme.
June 12th: “Twitter is the new Klan rally.”
Wow, then Facebook must be like racism times a million. And Reddit? Forget it.
June 12th: “Just told the guy next to me to be careful of my computer while putting his bag in the overhead compartment & he asked me if it was plastic”
He’s on a plane, no wonder there’s so many tweets.
June 12th: “My thoughts go out to all of the victims and their families in Orlando. What a horrible tragedy.”
Speaking of angry.
June 12th: “Our possible future president is using this attack as a justification for racism. This is how Hitler came to power people.”
Okay, now he’s angry.
June 12th: “Funny that Trump does not at all mention homophobia or bigotry. Oh wait it’s not funny. It’s not even interesting. It’s just ignorant.”
June 13th: “You hate! I block! Not interested in discussion. I’m interested in getting the people who agree with me to get off their asses.”
To do what exactly?
June 13th: “DINNER IN AMERICA JULY 1st on @adultswim https://www.instagram.com/p/BGnfbwfSXBS/”
Hmm, more comedy weirdness no doubt.
8 hours ago: “Suits are the only thing suits have to offer. That being said…. I like suits some times.”
Wait, the suits are giving away suits? Nice. Usually they somehow charge for that.
7 hours ago: “Narcissism meets Desperation. Gimme attention. Like me please. Make me famous. https://www.instagram.com/p/BGphPkgSXA6/”
Ah, yes. Instagram.
2 hours ago: “Just finished @ClassicShowbiz book: The Comedians. It is so fucking amazing. You have to buy it. You must read it.”
Hmm. I’ll have to check it out.
2 hours ago: “I just realized that I should run for president. Am I too late?”
As long as you’re willing to give out a TON of handjobs at the Green Party rally, no.
Okay, let’s rate Brett’s tweets. Kind of angry/funny, but I always sorta got that vibe from him. Genuine though. I give him a 9 for Insanity, an 8 for Style and a 10 for Mustness. That’s an overall score of 9. Follow Brett and watch his show.
