What was the parody Twitter account? Now that as a planet we've had eight years to crack jokes on Twitter, tweetable humor has evolved into a veritable creative medium of its own. Take @SeinfeldToday, which broadcasts imagined modern-day interactions between Jerry and co. to its 785,000 followers, or the absurdist craft-themed stutters of @PinterestFake. Modern parody Twitter accounts are also using humor to serve up running social commentary, such as @NoToFeminism, which hilariously satirizes the Women Against Feminism movement.
But before Twitter accounts like Listen Up, Lady! and @BoredElonMusk proved that tweeted jokes could collectively provide for nuance, there was 2010 to 2013, also known as the Golden Era of One-Joke Twitter Parody Accounts. Back then, Twitter qua popular "second screen" medium was still fresh; every award show faux-pas and cringeworthy Mitt Romney moment sent people racing to their laptops to be the first to register @FiredBigBird. Often, it was worth it: a clever parody account could garner its own article on HuffPost, the Daily Beast or yes, BuzzFeed, or even net the author a book deal or an A-list media job. But just as often, the joke, and the author's dedication, succumbed to the brutal fate of time.
Below, 15 of the most famous topical parody accounts, and some info about where they are now.
