Twitter in Focus: Jim Norton
on March 30, 2011 at 12:01 amHey bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die. Today we take a look at the tweets of Jim Norton, one of the funnest guys in the comedy biz. Let’s see if his tweets are just as twisted.
March 28th: “IRVINE Improv this Thurs-Sat. And only 44 open tickets for Antisocial Network on April 30 at Foxwoods.”
Antisocial Network. That’s a good name for a tour with Norton. Funny. It probably would be an awesome website that no one would go to.
March 28th: “Doing podcast w @robertkelly on MMAfighting.com with @arielhelwani right NOW!”
MMA fighting? No offense, but I gotta bet against you, Jim.
March 28th: “212 254-0193 to talk to Bob and I on MMAfighting.com podcast”
Ah, effective use of social media.
March 28th: “DICE Just did interview for Ent.Tonight with @chrisjacobs70 , gonna air @ 7pm tonite and tomorrownite WATCH IT ;) xoxo”
Dice needs a movie role. I remember that episode of MASH he was on. He was good.
March 28th: “@jackdoff69 We don’t bill ourselves as ‘fighters’ you blithering idiot. Stick to jacking off to photos of other men.”
Ow! Now there’s a smackdown!
March 28th: “@arielhelwani had a great time on your podcast. You’re much better looking than I expected.”
And follow through with the backhanded compliment.
21 hours ago: “My show is on the Boneyard right NOW!”
Cool. Need a link though. Or is that on TV?
20 hours ago: ““@HeymanHustle: 1 of @ArielHelwani‘s best shows EVER! Guests @JimNorton and @RobertKelly … and their passion for MMA! http://t.co/tG8pJsW””
Ah, there it is.
12 hours ago: ““@iSultan: I was in a comedy show @NYCcomedycellar with @ChrisRock @AzizAnsari @JimNorton @ARDIEFUQUA @Tompapa Hilarious night!””
Damn, that’s a line up! You should get on Aziz’s show, Parks and Recreation. I could see you doing a guest spot. Maybe a crazy woodsman.
11 hours: ”@JimNorton may I have a birthday retweet sir?”
It’s like Howard Stern’s one question and one question only. Howard?
9 hours ago: ““@JonathanAmes: Cool, I’m about to reach 15,000 followers! See the rest of my stats at Twitter Counter: http://t.co/7jKeKYR””
Yeah, I miss his show, Bored to Death. The cable company found out I had free HBO.
5 hours ago: “Just a couple of gangstas in the hizz-ouuse http://t.co/5v7NWQp”
I see buddy movie!
4 hours ago: “Snoop and that hot new rapper, Down S. Indrome. http://t.co/ep5MX7m”
Nice!
4 hours ago: ““@Captnhappy: @JimNorton bad ass pic man, whats your favorite pic you have?” SABBATH http://t.co/PQ4ZAXx”
That looks like Curly meeting his four grandpas.
3 hours ago: ““@OandAfanInAZ: what picture don’t you have, that you really want to get?” Me being blown by Scarlett Johansson while high-fiving DeNiro.”
Ha! Funny. Plus I get to post a picture of Scarlett.
Okay, let’s rate Jim’s Tweets. I thought he had a solid balance of plugs, responses and new material. I give his Style a 7, for Mustness, definitely a 10 and Insanity, 9. That’s a solid 8.6 overall. Totally worth following. Plus, there’s always a chance he’ll rip you a new one in front of thousands of twitter followers. And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus email here.
