Top 10 Tweeting Power Couples
10. Martha Stewart and her stupid dogs
Martha Stewart is good at two things: being domestic and obsessing over her Chow Chows. Admittedly, if we were ever to own dogs so fluffy and with such handsome smooshed-in faces, we might tweet about them and only them, too.
Martha seems to think that nothing is more important than talking about her prize dogs, specifically the one named Ghenghis Khan (really, Martha?), and that if people are actually going to follow her, they might as well jump on board with that, too. The thing is, we hate it, but we also secretly love it. Those damn animals are so cute we’d read a whole Twitter feed of only pictures of them.

9. St. Vincent and Drake
Okay, so this one may be pushing it because Drake hasn’t actually responded to any of St. Vincent’s several tweets about him, but we thought that if we threw this pair onto the list that maybe something would get stirred up.
St. Vincent, in all her virtuosic loveliness, has a small . . . no, big crush on Drake and is constantly sharing with the world her desire to collaborate with him. Can you imagine how precious, stylish, and presumably perfect this would be? It is making all of our dreams come true just to simply think about.

All of the Kardashians seem to have a loose connection with reality despite being reality stars. As we all know, Kim was married for less time than it takes a grown adult to tie his shoes and the shoes are slip-ons. The other two, K-something and K-something else, seem to have their share of weird, fake-celebrity issues as well. And aren’t there, like, nine more of them?
Two under-13 models who are besties with Avril Lavigne or something? The point is, all of them, every single K, share too much on Twitter. It makes you wonder if they actually talk to anyone else but their Twitter feeds. Do we care if you’re having an “ugly day”? No. That’s every day for us, you guys.

If you're a Stella fan, which you should be, seeing these two comedians interact on Twitter can only bring the warmest of feelings. They're like brothers who joke with each other, piss each other off, and in the end, make some of the most entertaining Twitter banter on the internet.
If you’ve ever seen the “Pizza sketch” where they get “real Brooklyn pizza” then you know that this humor is super special. And by special, we mean . . . unique. And by unique, we mean . . . so weird. So weird and good. When it happens on Twitter, it makes it all the better.

Coco’s one and possibly only contribution to this world (though let’s not short-change her, maybe she’s a great scuba diver) is her ridiculously disproportionate body. What would Twitter be without the Twitpics of a woman who’s body parts are as absurd as the clothes that she puts on them.
The term “clothes” is used lightly here. Every Thursday, for those who aren’t avid and dedicated followers, Coco posts a photo of herself in a shamelessly provocative position wearing little else but a thong, or what looks like the ribbon I might use to wrap my grandmother’s Labor Day present. It’s absurd. If you add in her tweet banter with her dog Spartacus, you’ve got yourself the full package of a half-naked and totally loony woman.

This is a wild card to say the least, but the point we’re trying to make with this one is that Gwyneth Paltrow, major celebrity and fan of juice cleanses and wicker baskets, did the completely unlikely one afternoon and tweeted her love—nay, her obsession—with Azealia Banks, twenty-year-old budding rapper from New York.
Despite the fact that we were all already obsessed with her ourselves, and we didn’t need the Gwynny stamp of approval to enjoy, it was a reigning moment for our girl. Since that infamously unlikely tweet, Azealia Banks has gotten the attention of everyone from Missy Elliott to Anna Wintour and is making waves as the newest and illest out there.
We don’t want to give the blonde one too much credit, but she does have star power and all. One tweet could put a girl over the edge, so thanks, Gwyneth.

When Danny DeVito does something, he does it with rigor and dedication. Did we think he’d only last one season on It’s Always Sunny? Yes. Is he still, seven seasons later, making it work with his Buddy Holly glasses and completely insane portrayal of everyone’s favorite wine-out-of-a-can drinker, Frank? Of course he is.
The same goes for his Twitter relationship with the infamous Troll Foot. As we all know, tiny little DeVito has little gnarled feet that look like they’d belong to a hobbit. The best part is, even if you didn’t know that, all you’d have to do is take a look at his Twitter and you’d find out. His Twitter is a series of pictures of his Troll Foot gallivanting in Vegas or with a half-full teacup or near a plate of fresh ravioli.
Can we believe this is still going on? Not really. But thus is the nature of Danny DeVito—keep bringing the weird, dude.

You guessed it right, folks. We have finally gotten to the generation of kids whose parents have Twitter when the kids also have Twitter. Do you remember when your mom and dad got Facebook and they kept asking you if the “wall” was like your fridge door with all the magnets and notes and stuff? No, parents, it’s not.
This pair—comedy director Judd Apatow and his adolescent and squee-adorable daughter Maude—take part in banter on Twitter that has to be some of the cutest, “Oh, dadddd”-est variety we’ve ever seen. Judd will tweet a gross thing and Maude will respond, embarrassed or ashamed. It’s got to be a thousand times more embarrassing when your dad is famous, funny, and has lots of cool friends that you want to impress.

What we love so much about watching the Twitter banter between these two costars is that it reminds us of our own relationships with our siblings. Novak razzes Kaling and Kaling whines at Novak and in the end, you know they love each other more deeply than even the closest of family members.
What makes the whole thing even more special is that they’re both writers and they talk about writing, The Office, and all kinds of nerdy dorky stuff and it makes us feel like we’re a little bit a part of the gang. It feels nice to be on the inside, doesn’t it? It only makes you wonder, though, if Kelly and Ryan could actually work—Kaling and Novak seem to have so much to share!

Rob Delaney does a lot of funny things on Twitter, such as simply just existing and being brilliant, but his best jokes by far are those which he fabricates for the good ole prez of the the United States, Barack Obama.
Delaney takes the president’s official Twitter handle and presents tweets that he’s never actually written (though it’d be so great if he had), and answers questions like “If I hold a piece of bread in each hand, am I technically a sandwich?” and “Is ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ about Bette Middler farting through a maxi-pad?” Delaney always has the answers for our befuddled POTUS and delivers the laughs at the same time.
