It's awards season and what would the season mean without The Shorty Awards? Twitter's answer to people we care even less about than TV and movie stars.
Here's the humor category:
Gisele Bündchen - Who doesn't laugh when she hits the catwalk?
José Sarney de Araúj - Who is funnier than a Brazilian Senator from South America who speaks no English?
Chelsea Handler - Okay, fine.
Lisa Cuddy - Dean of Medicine @ Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Some people need to get a life and by some people I mean the delusional person who nominated someone who doesn't exist.
Kevin Sorbo - When you think funny you think Sorbo? Maybe dressed as Hercules, yes.
Suze Orman - Who doesn't laugh when Suze goes over your financial situation with you?
Carlos Mencia - Comic who steals from other comics. This is a non-ironic quote from the person who nominated him: "... watching him perform is like seeing several shows all at once."
Why yes it is.
Stephen Colbert - Okay, yes.
jerry_seinfeld - Still a yes only he doesn't tweet because there aren't enough hours in the day to spend all his money much less stop to tell you what he bought.
In 1st place there are 2152 votes for marlon wayans.
HOWEVER if people knew how to spell his name right then he would have had these votes as well:
501 votes for:
marlonwayans - What a difference a space makes.
And then his fans cost him these votes because they can't spell:
marlonwayens
marlonwayne
marlonlwaysans
marlnonlwayans
marlowayans
marlonlways
marlonswayans
lonlwayans
marlonlwayanssent
marlonwayanss
marloncwayans
marlonwayayns
marlonlwayayns
marionwayans
marlonlwayynes
marlonwayons
In 4th Place is Paula Poundstone with 846 votes.
If her fans had known how to spell her name she'd have more votes too.
paulappundstone
paulapundstone
paulapoundstine
paulapounstone
paulapountstone

This doesn't make me regret not twittering.
ReplyDeletethe day I learn something by reading your blog is the day I stop reading it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm still resisting Twitter too. I have to say, it doesn't sound like I'm missing much!
ReplyDeleteI heart Paula Poundstone, any way she spells it.
ReplyDeleteI did not come here to learn, for God's sake, I came here to, um, well....what were we talking about?
ReplyDeleteIt tells me that we should learn how to spell Suzi Sorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt really pisses me off when someone doesn't even bother to get your name right.
ReplyDeleteI hate Chelsea Handler! She's not even remotely funny.
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh. You only have seven more followers than me. Six if I unfollow you again.
ReplyDeleteI just read some supportive words you wrote on someone else's blog.
Which proves.
We are both still reading blogs.
What. The. Hell.
