Kelly Oxford Sells Script; Is Very Successful Outside of Twitter

In honor of Twittererer/writer Kelly Oxford selling a film script to Warner Bros, I'm going to try to write this entire post in 140 charact DAMN! Well, that was impossible. The film is called Son of a Bitch and as she puts it, is about a “young stoner who tries to maintain her popular party image even after discovering she’s pregnant.” I hope that means she does all these drugs and the film ends with her popping out some mutant baby that has super strength and laser eyes but is like a good guy, you know, and he saves the hospital from being blown up by The Joker, [...]

Twitter: rejuvenating the field of comedy, leveling the playing field for all, sharpening comedians' writing skills. OR IS IT?

Growing up as the annoying kid on the street who wrote plays and tried to force peers to perform them, going to screenwriting seminars, blogging daily (exercise) for 12 years, staying up for days and days to finish scripts was a waste of my goddamn time.

This is your chance to watch Rob "Some Have Termed, King of Twitter" Delaney take one of his 140-character comedy bombs and explain exactly what he was thinking to such detail that the Tweet is hardly funny anymore.

If they ever make a Kings/Queens of Twitter Comedy, Jenny Johnson would be D.L. Hughley.

by | March 8th, 2012

Who is DadBoner? Who indeed! Before we think too hard about it, though, let's take some advice from the great man himself via a recent tweet: "People who need to nose around in your garbage, probably don't have any bold flavors goin' on in their own fridge, you guys."
