10 Hilarious Meme Accounts That You Can Find On Twitter
Not only is Twitter that amazing and huge microblogging service that will let you know when your friends have woke up in the morning and what they had for dinner, but it’s great for streaming clever and informative quotes. None so may be more popular than Twitter’s ongoing culture of parody accounts.
A parody account is a user playing the role of (usually) some celebrity or well-known figure, or even some ridiculous inanimate object, and tweeting from a usually-sarcastic point of view.
We’ve once before done an article covering some of these funniest parody accounts. Today, meme accounts are on a huge uptick. If you’re living under a rock and don’t know exactly know what a meme is, here is a good excerpt from Wikipedia:
Internet memes usually are formed from some social interaction (such as rage comic or reaction faces), pop culture reference (such as Pardon the Interruption’s Tony Kornheiser in WHY.jpg, Xzibit in “Yo Dawg”) or situations people often find themselves in (such as “That feeling when,” Socially Awkward Penguin, and Futurama Fry). Sometimes these categories cross over, as with Futurama Fry, and costanza.jpg, a popular reaction face of George Costanza from Seinfeld. Many memes also come from video games (such as the “arrow to the knee” from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or “do a barrel roll” from Starfox 64).
The idea is that some random meme master around the world takes up the responsibility of carrying out the personality of one of these meme characters through a Twitter feed. These accounts are hugely popular and new ones appear every day. Let’s look at some of the best.
Oh, you’re insecure about how you look? Those bikini shots must have been hard to upload.
