These days just about everyone thinks they’re a comedian. From the bookworm in your econ class to the gym fanatic that you always spot freshly off the treadmill, it seems like every person on campus thinks they have what it takes to make your abs cry in pain from laughing so hard. And, of course, just where do they let the jokes fly? In 140-character one-liners on Twitter, obviously.
But with over 500 million users roaming the Twitterverse, it can be hard to find the genuinely hysterical people who turn comedy into a true art form—seriously, there are far too many copycats with disturbingly unfunny jokes out there. We get it, YOLO is the carpe diem for stupid people, and we hate to break it to you, but we know you didn’t come up with that one on your own.
So collegiettes, to help you let loose and crack up at your computer screen we’ve narrowed it down to what we think are the 10 most laugh-out-loud funny Twitter accounts. These comics and celebrities will definitely have you LOL’ing and desperate for more—they’re too funny to resist and completely #hilarious.
