Parody Twitter Accounts (thinly-veiled 'I just made one' thread)

beautiful_balloon [Edit] [Delete] 29 replies 15:42 February 12th, 2012

I was thinking of starting up a parody Mark Lawrenson account to channel some withering rainy-day observations, but turns out there's quite a few already

Instead I've opted for @tweetsfrom97 - topical commentary from a guy trapped in the mid-late nineties - it aint all that

Which ones do you like?

@dimi_berbatov is the funniest one i've seen

I used to think Szczesny's twitter account was a parody.

Turns out it wasn't.

The winner because Brett Ratner and William Friedkin, among others, think it's the real thing.

So then, more than 12,000 followers later,

several mentions in magazines and newspapers, and now a contributor to Buzzfeed.

TNG_S8 is always incredible

So is SeinfeldToday.

The others sort of ran their course a bit. Even if I did enjoy the slightly racist Moira Stewart one briefly.
