10 Best Fake Twitter Accounts
Fake Twitter accounts started rolling out almost as soon the company began to pick up steam in 2007. Some are meant to be taken as broad jokes, like those from a fictional character, while others are designed to be more satirical, such as the ones tweeting as major corporations or public figures. However they’re played, they make for some of the funniest and most entertaining reading on the site. Here are ten of the best:
1. Drunk Hulk
Because why not? With the Caps Lock key jammed down and a penchant for pop culture commentary, Drunk Hulk mixes the clipped shouts of the Incredible Hulk with often absurd but frequently hilarious opinions.
WAKE IN MORNING! STEP OUTSIDE! DRUNK HULK TAKE DEEP BREATH! GET REAL HIGH! DRUNK HULK SCREAM FROM TOP OF LUNG! WHAT GO ON!

2. Fake AP Stylebook
Poking a hole in the stodgy ramblings of the real AP Stylebook, this fake version offers joke advice for journalists and writers.
The four seasons are Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall. For California publications, change to Mudslide, Hillfire, Flood and Earthquake.

3. Nick_Nolte
Like the best fake celebrity Twitter accounts (including the others on this list), the fake Nick Nolte gets its laughs by creating an insane persona based on Nolte’s film work and personal troubles. Imagine him reciting them in the voice of his character in Tropic Thunder for maximum Nolte-ness.
Aw hell. Typical Monday, wakin’ up with a message carved into your forehead.

4. Fake Michael Bay
The phony version of Michael Bay is a hilariously puffed-up nutjob with a penchant for special effects and expensive toys. (Which, well, seems like it could be accurate.) Get a load for yourself:
The oil spill is making me cancel my bi-monthly Louisiana alligator wrestling trip. BP must be held accountable.

5. Abe Vigoda
The gag here is that every tweet ends with a stubborn declaration that Vigoda is, indeed, alive.
Like Transformers, I am more than meets the eye. And I’m alive.

6. Dr. Tobias Funke
The short-lived “Arrested Development” may be gone, but thanks to Twitter, Tobias Funke’s neuroses live on. Long live the never-nudes.
wondering if I can wear my new jean shorts over my jean shorts.

7. Darth Vader
Because even a dark lord of the Sith needs to blow off some steam online.
I’m in such a good mood I may only kill 6 Sand People instead of my customary dozen. #HappyMothersDay

8. Fake Paramount
A spoof of Paramount Films, this account mercilessly lampoons Hollywood culture and bloated gimmicks.
I wish people would spend less time thinking about that tiny oil spill & spend more time paying money to go see Iron Man 2 & Shrek 3-D.

9. Fake Rahm Emanuel
Playing off the legendary harsh language of the president’s chief of staff, Fake Rahm is a fantastic mix of shock humor and general jerkiness. It’s awesome.
I think it’s great that Tiger is taking time off from golf to concentrate fully on contracting STDs.

10. AC180
Making a joke out of “Anderson Cooper 360,” this fake Twitter account tracks the inner thoughts of the CNN anchor.
Paid Blitzer’s maid $100 to stitch someone else’s name into the back of all his underwear. That should confuse him for a while.
