As a person who hates funny people—they always seem like they're trying so hard!—I avoid "funny" Twitter accounts. There's a few that are always satisfactorily hilarious: Michael McKean, and Kevin Fanning and the nuttiness that is Josh Allen. And then there's Kate Riley. I have no idea who she is! Probably a comedian or something. Anyway her whole Twitter thing is about self-hatred and sad-girl things to the nth degree. It's like a parody of a parody but so extremely hateful that it crosses over into actually being funny.

I guess this means you love yourself? ;)
Speaking of Twitter comedians that try too hard, this girl.
I'll mostly pass but thanks for "gigantic rainstick"!
The strange place we're in now, where comedians are criticized for trying.
Me, I enjoy Eddie Pepitone.
Hey, I have no problem with comedians who put effort into their work, but if Choire is gonna bemoan comedian types for not making it look effortless, then Kate Riley wasn't the best example.
She's like Kelly Oxford, but somehow even worse.
Oh, I get you. I was actually more surprised by Choire's framing of "funny people" as those who try too hard. Certainly, they exist, but it's one of those incredibly nebulous ways to dismiss someone–you're trying too hard! Thanks, Internet.
Is it possible to look effortless on Twitter? Me wan see example.
Her "not trying too hard" schtick is undermined by her refusal to adhere to punctuation.
Kate makes me laugh on the reg. Her tumblr is also hilarious: http://bubblebathosbands.tumblr.com/
I'm actually enjoying this quite a bit. Weird how that works.
The problem with following good Twitter accounts is it makes you a retweet monster.
