Admit it, Twitter is a means to stalk (without the threat of getting arrested) your celebrity crushes.

When we think of funny girls, our minds don't usually think of models. However, Twitter has changed that. Through her tweets, the gorgeous Chrissy Teigen has shown that chicks who pose for a living can be funny, too. She live-tweets dramatic, possibly horrifying, Delta flights, and crosses the line between beautiful and ugly-funny with her Twitter pics. Plus, she hilariously eviscerates John Legend fans who dub her as a groupie despite the fact the two have been engaged for a year.

Kendrick plays uptight really well (see her work in Up in the Air and in her pre-Twilight film Rocket Science) but the actress, who wowed us with her singing voice in Pitch Perfect, is more like us than we'll probably ever know. Based on her tweets, she'd rather watch a movie at home, browse Reddit, and scarf up Taco Bell's Doritos tacos all day, every day. So, yeah, Kendrick could be your best bro if she wasn't too busy being successful.

There was a time when we'd have to wait for Silverman's outrageous stand-up to be aired on Comedy Central, only for it to be censored beyond recognition. That time is over. Twitter won't censor her, and the hilarious celebrity badass won't censor the following words from her vocabulary: penis, shit, Hitler.

Rashida Jones is still new to the Twitter game, but we suspect her Parks and Recreation costar, Aubrey Plaza, has been showing her the ropes. Otherwise, she's a natural. She's already live-tweeted the Miss America contest and called out the Oscars, publicly, about the snubs this year.

Schaal's fame is exploding right now, so you should jump on her Twitter train quick because it is filled with gold. She's currently voicing Mabel in Gravity Falls and Louise in Bob's Burgers, so it's easy to hear Schaal's voice while scrolling through her tweets.
To put a face to the name—a crazy face to the name—Schaal also played Hazel, Kenneth's insane girlfriend, on 30 Rock. If you want more of Schaal's literary work, pick up her book, The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex.

The Newsroom actress' Twitter is filled with Munn-real puns, which she'll gladly retweet. But it's nice to know that, while she's pretty a big deal now and no. 2 on Maxim's Hot 100 in 2012 list, she got her humble beginning dressing up in cosplay for Attack of the Show.

Bell's Twitter feed has given us one of the greatest moments of Internet history: her extremely emotional response to a sloth showing up to her birthday party. The actress earned our respect when the video of the incident was revealed, and it proved to only make her more adorable.

We sincerly believe 2 Broke Girls would be a lot more enjoyable if Kat Dennings' lines were from her Twitter instead of the jokes writers feed her about how big her boobs are. In fact, we'd probably be cool with just watching a half-hour block of Dennings making comments about shows she's watching or discussing what she'd call herself if she was a rapper.

The controversial comedienne has a highly rated late night talk show, Chelsea Lately, where even A-listers, like Sandra Bullock, play along with her ballsy sketches. And her twitter is a lot like that, too. She'll talk about booze and upload pictures of people you wish you could hang out with.

Modeling's next big thing describes herself in her profile as a "professional human being," which is always good to know. We'd be really embarrassed if we were super attracted to a robot. And, after following her Twitter, we actually shouldn't be as attracted to her as we are. Her favorite hobby is posting unflattering pictures of herself making faces and wearing onesies. It just makes us love her more.

If you've ever watched The Talk, then you've noticed the ladies are actually always playing on their cellphones while the cameras are on them. Aisha Tyler, of the animated FX series Archer, likes to read stuff that people have tweeted at her, but what she tweets out tends to be a lot more entertaining.

The cool thing about the famed Juno writer's Twitter is that she doesn't lace it with the made-up slang you'd expect from her. Obviously, her writing has grown, as seen in Young Adult. But she's a genuine fan of comedy, which shines through her tweets. She's supportive of the people in the industry, and can tweet some of the funniest one-liners we've seen in a long time.

Ellen's Twitter is great because it offers all the same clean jokes and YouTube videos that are features on her talk show. What makes her timeline better is that there's no awkward dancing with audience members.

The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actress doesn't just spew comedic gold on camera, she tweets it as well. Of course, that's in between sending out rational advice, like encouraging support for the arts in school and telling people not to drink and drive, which are a departure from her crazy claim-to-fame character.

The actress walks a fine line between being hilarious and acting like that girl in your high school social studies class who tried way too hard to be funny. "Cats can't taste sweet? No wonder they're so cranky." -Actual Ellen Page quote. However, she does lean more toward the former.

Ellen Barkin, The New Normal actress, has become infamous for her tweets. She has a bad habit of going on hilarious f-bomb laced rants, though they're mostly against conservatives. It's not like she cares what people think though. The 57-year-old actress, who has a 26-year-old boyfriend (the son of the director of one of her earliest movies, Diner), continues to push the boundaries of appropriateness.

St. Vincent is well known for her polysemic lyrics and her unusual musical style but, thanks to Twitter, we also know her as a secret observational comedienne.

If you're a fan of Sykes' stand up, then following her on Twitter is a must. The funny woman brings comedy and politics, but not in an annoying way, to the table when she tweets. She even live-tweeted the Inauguration.

Are you meaning to tell us that you are not following the woman who invented mermaid dancing? Well, you better hop on the bandwagon now because Wilson is currently racking up followers as the funniest new comedienne in Hollywood.
We don't mean this in a negative way, but thank God she got malaria when she was stationed in Africa as the Rotary International Youth Ambassador for Australia. Yeah, awful, we know. But we wouldn't have known Wilson existed, wouldn't have had Fat Amy from Pitch Perfect or the awful roommate from Bridesmaids, if she didn't have hallucinations of winning an Oscar, which she says started her acting career.

Aside from being the subject of some of the sexiest GIFs on the Internet, the Communityand Mad Men actress tweets about things that matter. She reminds us of her upcoming shows with her cover band, The Girls, she tells us when her shows are coming back with new episodes, and she posts updates on the Community porn parody coming out.

If a Sunday night viewing of Girls doesn't fulfill you enough, then scroll through Dunham's tweets. Simply put, the writers of the show could pluck the funniest ones and have the dialogue or B-story line for the HBO comedy's next episode.

When we found out our former cover girl was engaged to SNL's Jason Sudeikis, our reaction was an overall "Huh? Whaa?" But then we checked out her Twitter. She can definitely hold her own in a battle of jokes.

Rae, of YouTube fame, constantly pumps out retweetable quips. But if 140 characters of hilarity doesn't satiate you, check out her Awkward Black Girl videos, through which she'll make you feel torn between shriveling up with secondhand embarrassment and laughing your face off.

Plaza keeps it simple. Her Twitter info says that she's a "hag" from "hell swamp" —what more do you need to know? Her tweets, as expected from the Parks and Rec actress, are a bit on the dark side. Sometimes she uses the site to promote her new flicks or who will be on her sitcom, but a lot of the time she talks about how Hell corpses will rise. Wait, what if she isn't joking, guys?

Kaling got her foot in the comedy door by writing a two-woman show where she and her best friend played other Hollywood biffles, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Top that with The Office cred, a best-selling book, and a hilarious sitcom, The Mindy Project, you'd think she wouldn't have anything funny left to say. Wrong. Kaling tweets out more rom-com quality quips a day than most people could write in a lifetime.
