For those of you on Twitter...
...you're well aware of @dadboner, among the funniest accounts on the site. If you don't know, it's the real effort to take the medium of Twitter as an artform, giving us the day-to-day of a fictional character named Karl Welzein, a middle-aged middle-American "Can't wait for the weekend!"-type and his day-to-day. Along with being hilarious, the story archs and developments are incredibly rich.
He tweeted yesterday that "he'll" be at Raw tonight, so in the event that the character will be live-tweeting what's going on, I'd suggest you don't miss it!

Dadboner's jumped the shark ever since he's been exposed.

Not one thing in that article made me think this whole thing is funny in any way possible. Comedic genius gets thrown around too loosely. |

Imagine walking up to your actual dad and telling him you're "DadBoner, from the Internet"

Dadboner's jumped the shark ever since he's been exposed. Exposed? Did anyone at any point ever think it was real? It's a well written literary endeavor into the twitter medium, which I find infinitely more interesting than if it were a real person. |

The live-tweeting recapping of his events as they happen is what makes it entertaining. The article doesn't offer a proper platform for the jokes to work. While humor is subjective, I do think creating a fictional character and giving him such a developed routine and life on twitter is legit incredible. The fact that the author pulls if off without any loophole missteps is impressive in its own right. |

DadBoner is probably my favorite Twitter account. I agree that whoever runs it is dedicated as hell. The story has been consistent for a long time and is usually pretty hilarious. I'd like to see it made into a show with the same writer (s?)
Interesting that they found out who it was. I got obsessed a few months ago and spent hours trying to find out online.

Haven't been reading him lately, but this should be interesting. I don't find the account as amusing as I used to, but there are still some gems from time to time. The Iron Sheik twitter account, however, has completely jumped the shark.

The Iron Sheik twitter account, however, has completely jumped the shark. I find the best thing to do with Sheik's is to just follow Andy Richter (who is regularly funny in his own right) as he retweets the best that Shieky Baby('s handler) has to offer. While we're on the subject, here's who I think the 10 best accounts on Twitter are: popularopinions.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/2011tweet/Also, I'm on Twitter chazraps . TWITTER PARTY! |

I think I'm looking forward to the DadBoner tweets more than I am the show itself.

Haven't seen any tweets from Captain Karl about what shenanigans he got into at the show. Really steamed, you guys. Sick of this.
