The ones Jimmy Fallon does are usually pretty funny but he has a lot to draw from. These were pretty lame although I did like the WVA grandma one...Rex even agreed. I'd bet we could come up with better ones here.

 

 

 

It's Jimmy Kimmel's bit.

[Joe Miner]

I think it's only appropriate they get Whaley in on this.

 

And the medical staff.

 

And Kim.

[boyst]

This was great. Jimmy kimbel really made this something.

yes! And Russ

[Fadingpain]

very funny!

[Chandler#81]

Some were humorous, but most were classless. I realize you can easily spot Twitter twit, but most of these embarrass me as a fan of the team.

Maybe I just need a drink..

[OhDozeBills]

I don't know, not really a fan of this. Of course the players are going to laugh it off on camera. Just didn't think it was that funny and pretty pointless.

[Uncle Monkeyhead]

Wow. Some of you need to relax the f*** out. Jeez.

 

For those who understand the harmless humor, give a listen to Dan Lebatard podcast. Thier "looks like" segment is hilarious:

"Rob Ryan looks like the crazy homeless person who always gets into fights at the soup kitchen"

[Mr. WEO]

They should just read TBD, or really Billszone. That place is vicious.

 

There's Pavlov's dog! Took you to the 5th post to unload that signature take??

[Best Player Available]

HA, these are the ones that are nice enough to mention on the Bills family website.

I'd like to hear the ones that don't make the final cut for various reasons.

Actually, Pavlov or not, one inevitably would reach this conclusion.

 

Many posts here remind me of the "mean tweets" and sports talk callers . . . .

That was terrible. Truly terrible. Awkward at best, but not even remotely funny.

[Estelle Getty]

Meh. Not that big of a fan of this. Players already hear all the negativity, especially being on the Bills. Making it a feature piece just reinforces the nonsense.

Yeh hope this was done a few weeks ago not 5 days before the regular season starts. Not really that funny except for the strangling rex ryan with his lap-band. The bills 20 something marketing team over stepping their bounds.

 

Not a huge deal but now is not the time.

[The Wiz]

Well ej didn't read any tweets.

[dulles]

The Rob Ryan west Virginia grandma was pretty funny.

I thought that was great stuff.

[The Dean]

I'm with you, for the most part. Not really all that funny. But I will give credit for the Bills acknowledging this stuff, and having a bit of fun with it. It just should have been done by someone with a better comedic sense, IMO.

It works on Kimmel because they choose extreme, creative tweets but they are also read by actors. Many of them comedians themselves. So, they know how to deliver a line.

 

When you get normal people to read mean tweets, it has the opposite effect. It is normally used to highlight what a bully and an ahole the tweeter is and to get us to look at ourselves as a society. Instead of laughing with the reader, we feel sympathy.

 

So, tweets that aren't funny mixed with regular readers made an awful bit. Should have never left the video production room.

Agree. Minus one Rob Ryan joke rest were awful.

 

Who rushed this with all the "you suck" ones. Brutal.
