Michael Ian Black is a popular comedian who currently stars in a show on Comedy Central called Michael and Michael Have Issues. I follow him because his tweets are hilarious. For example, today he tweeted this…”Sometimes when I floss I pretend the floss is a thong and my teeth are all tiny butt cracks.” I also follow Michael Ian Black because he uses a verified account and I know it’s actually him. I love that he tweets numerous times a day and each tweet is witty and interesting, even if they are sometimes ridiculous. Whenever I am stressed out or having a rough day, reading his tweets never fails to brighten my mood even the slightest bit.
Michael Ian Black follows many other comedians and actors such as Demetri Martin, Daniel Tosh and Sarah Silverman who all also have shows on Comedy Central. This says that he uses his twitter account to keep in touch with colleagues/friends (maybe to also make them laugh and brighten their day) and for his professional career as a comedian (to promote his show Michael and Michael Have Issues). It obviously says that he is interested in comedy and acting. I also think that he may be interested in communication through technology because he tweets many times throughout the day/on a daily basis. He also follows The Onion, which is a website that makes fun of politics, news stories and popular/controversial issues. This says that he may be interested in news and politics…or interested in using them as the subject of jokes in his stand-up comedy act.
The layout of Michael Ian Black’s twitter page is a sort of collage picture of the following…a dragon, Princess Leia, a unicorn, a taco, a pretty blonde girl in pink , a ping-pong paddle and him shooting a rainbow beam out of his hand. I find this very amusing and it gives me a little insight into some of his interests…maybe Star Wars, ping-pong, Mexican food, mythical creatures, and pretty blonde girls. Who knows? But it’s still funny.
I leave you with some of my favorite tweets that I have found on Michael Ian Black’s twitter page…Enjoy =)

If animals could read maps we wouldn’t be so impressed when they find their way home. We’d be like “So what? You can read maps.”

Gravity is like nature giving you a hug. And never letting go. Like a crazy person
