Twitter in Focus: Bob Newhart
on August 29, 2012 at 12:01 amHey Bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus, where media comes to die! Today, another comedy legend, Bob Newhart gets analyzed! He’s got a button down mind, let’s see what his Twitter account is like.
May 20th: “After a 50 year career, people do occasionally recognize me. The men think I’m an old army buddy and the women think I’m their first husband”
Old army buddy? Well, I guess you do sort of look like Hogan from Hogan’s Heroes.
Plug!
May 24th: “TWITTER BY SHAKESPEARE 2B OR NOT 2B, THAT IS THE ?? WHETHER TIS NOBLER IN THE MIND TO SUFFER THE SLINGS & ARROWS OF OUTRAGEOUS 4 TUNE…”
I like Twitter Shakespeare. It’ll mean the play will be over in less than ten seconds.
May 25th: “Peter Sellers was probably the best film comedian ever. He was a complicated man haunted by powerful demons but an absolute comic genius.”
May 27th: “Hallmark Channel BNS Marathon — http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2012/05/the-bob-newhart-show-memorial-day-weekend-marathon-the-show-holds-up-says-star.html …”
A comedy classic.
June 12th: “Stand-up comedy is not for the faint of heart or small of ego”
Understand Michael Richards? This is why you failed at it. Well, that and what you said.
June 15th: “Special thanks to @JuddApatow and @826LA – it was a great night for a great cause!!”
C’mon, Judd, put Bob in one of your movies. Anyone has to be better than Katherine Heigl.
June 19th: “Photos from the @826LA Benefit at the Broad Theater in Santa Monica http://twitpic.com/9y338d”
Lookin’ good, Bob. I always thought your show about the comic book creator was way underrated.
June 19th: “On stage at the Broad http://twitpic.com/9y36hz”
I’d totally go see Bob in concert.
July 9th: “Performing standup is a narcotic that I need-even if I do it a few times a year. Traveling is inconvenient but worth it to make people laugh”
You should do your next show on the Internet, Bob. Then you never have to travel!
August 17th: “Upcoming BN Performance 9/15/12 Carmel, CA Sunset Center”
When does Bob come to the East Coast? We need to see him in Atlantic City!
August 23rd: “When people tell me jokes, they tell the dirtiest joke imaginable. They’ll preface it by saying they’ll have to clean it up for me – Mr. PG”
So wait. Does that mean it’s cleaned up for you, but still sounds dirty? Or they completely edit the joke?
Okay, let’s rate Bob’s tweets. He’s got a good mix of behind-the-scenes and plugs. Needs to have more updates though. I give him a 5 for Mustness, a 7 for Insanity and a 10 for Style. That’s an overall score of 7.3. Follow the legend. Follow Bob.
