Twaggies3

People tweet the darndest things. A group called Twaggies has been scouring Twitter feeds in the quest to find the funniest, craziest, and weirdest updates from people. They then give these tweets a visual representation that are even more hilarious than the original statuses that they were based on.

Twaggies has been around since 2009 and they’re on their merry way to publishing illustration number 1000 (they’re currently at 978!) As we countdown this impressive milestone, we’ve parsed through their archives to bring you the best of Twaggies…so far. More hilarity after the break!

Tomato Hair

There’s nothing wrong with being a veg head–unless you take things too seriously and turn yourself into one literally. That’s what some people in Japan are doing after visiting an Osaka salon called Trick Store. Located at the city’s so-called hipster district in Amemura, a hairstylist named ‘Hiro’ has created one of the most unusual hairstyles we’ve ever seen so far: the ‘Ripe Tomato.’

The hairstyle is basically features a layered cut and a colorful dye job to turn people’s heads into giant man-tomatoes. Oh, the crazy things Japanese hairstylists come up with sometimes.

‘My Knitted Boyfriend’ Bodysuit Turns Any Guy Into Your Knitted Boyfriend

By Hazel Chua on 04/25/13 • Leave a comment!

My Knitted Boyfriend2

I’ve seen my fair share of kooky bodysuits, but this one is just ridiculous. Ridiculously funny, that is. It’s called ‘My Knitted Boyfriend’ and it was created lovingly by Noortje de Keijzer. It’s not the only one of its kind, as Noortje has said that she has already knitted two of these ‘so far’. You can probably expect more knitty men to come your way when she finds the time to knit them.

It’s only proper that they get names, since they’re knitted boyfriends and all. Knitted on September 14th, 2011, Arthur has white skin, dark brown hair, and black knickers. Knitted two weeks later was Steve, who has dark brown skin, black hair, and beige knickers.

Better Than I Imagined: If Disney Made ‘Game of Thrones’…

By Hazel Chua on 04/17/13 • Leave a comment!

A lot of people were up in arms when news broke that Disney had acquired LucasFilm and was planning to make another Star Wars movie. I guess the decision made sense since the series was made to be relatively child-friendly. But can you imagine what would happen if HBO gave the reigns of Game of Thrones to Disney?

Some people did more than just imagine, and the result is this video–and it’s surprisingly good. But maybe that’s because I grew up with Disney and princesses always have a soft spot in my heart. Watch the clip and judge for yourself.

It’s the only sweater you’ll find that packs on loads of body hair along with some choice bling to give you the hair-rific body that you’ve always dreamed of having (or not having.)

LMAO: Dude Buys Toy Poodles, Gets Ferrets on Steroids Instead

By Hazel Chua on 04/11/13 • 2 Comments

Dog Ferrets

How can someone mistake a ferret for a toy poodle? When the latter has had its hair fluffed up with hair products and its system pumped with steroids, that’s what. It sounds ridiculous, but apparently, it’s actually happening in Brazil. A man was recently duped when he bought what he thought were two toy poodles for $150. A toy poodle normally costs $1000, so he probably thought he was getting a bargain…until he dropped by his vet and was told that his dogs were actually poodles instead.

Because since more traditional toy poodles (of the canine variety) can go for upwards of $1,000, one merchant at Argentina’s largest bazaar got the brilliant, nightmare-inducing idea to pump a few of what Argentinians refer to as “Brazilian rats” (otherwise known as ferrets) full of ‘roids and hair product, pass them off as warped, perhaps inbred poodles, and turn a handsome profit in the process.

When it’s too good to be true, it usually is. But I’m sure you already knew that.

P.S. Instead of buying pure-bred or toy dogs from a breeder or pet store, why not adopt an equally lovable pooch from your local shelter instead?

There’s Nothing Sly About Sly Fox’s Topless Beer Cans

By Hazel Chua on 04/09/13 • Leave a comment!

Topless Beer Can

Isn’t it a pain to drink beer or soda from a can and chug it down quickly so you can get to your next sip? You could use a glass, but then that would take some of the fizz out of your drink. The solution? Cans with tops that come off completely so you can sip your drink from the can as if it were a glass.

Not many companies are doing this, but the Sly Fox Brewing Company is and we think it’s a great idea. Head brewer Brian O’Reilly explains that the modification “allows the full flavor and aroma of the beer to hit the drinker’s senses.” The special lid can only be found on the company’s Helles Golden Lager, which is available across their Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey distribution area.

This Is What Barbie Looks Like Without Makeup

By Hazel Chua on 04/09/13 • 2 Comments

Barbie No MakeUp

For years, people have frowned upon the all-too-perfect looks and body shape of Barbie because it encourages kids to be superficial and overly-conscious about their looks, which makes them lose sight of the bigger picture. The big picture being that it doesn’t matter what a person looks like, as long as he or she has got a good heart and a compassionate spirit.

Every Barbie doll that leaves the manufacturing line looks perfectly made-up with bright lipstick and dark eyeliner accentuating her pretty doll features. Artist Eddi Aguirre, however, had different ideas. He stripped Barbie off her makeup and came up with the image that you see above. You can check out a close-up of Barbie sans the heavy makeup after the break.
