All the funny in 140 characters
Twitter is often crowded with teenagers whining about their confiscated iPhones or celebrity meltdowns, but these funny ladies know how to use the microblogging platform the right way — to be funny! These tweets had us cracking up and wishing we could be nearly as quippy.

It wasn’t long ago that the Twittersphere was abuzz with who would replace David Letterman on The Late Show. Now we know that honor went to Stephen Colbert, but Amy Schumer wanted to drop her hat into the mix for The Colbert Report.
Everyone's asking when I'm replacing Colbert. And by "everyone" I mean my mom. And by "Colbert" I mean her vase I broke last time I was home

The Lannisters send their regards to Mindy Kaling. Before the premiere of Game of Throne’s fourth season, Kaling sent out tongue-in-cheek tweet meant to stir the realm.
No one ever touches upon my most controversial belief which is that I'm pro-Lannister

Aidy Bryant might be young, but she’s already proven herself to be a breath of fresh air on Saturday Night Live. Now she just wants something equally refreshing for herself.

High school is hellish, so no one would blame you if you want to rub your success in the faces of the brats who made fun of you. In Lena Dunham’s case, her absurdly successful show Girls plays second fiddle to one monumental achievement.
Just RSVPd to my 10 year high school reunion and feel anxious about my ability to manage my emotions and not scream "a boy likes me now!"
