It's difficult to explain the community -- or rather, the disorganized group of strangeness -- that has been dubbed "Weird Twitter." Put simply, it's a growing collection of Twitter profiles that use the social network to promote their absurd breed of comedy. But simple explanations don't really cut it here.
The difficulty in labeling these accounts stems in part from the nature of the club itself: a group of tweeters, all irreverently, cripplingly hilarious, but all entirely against being labeled in the first place. Some, such as Jose Canseco, likely aren't even aware of their participation in the group at all. They are, in short, the opposite of normal.

With some accounts nearing 100,000 followers, "Weird Twitter" can hardly be described as a fringe group, either. It's a thriving online comedy subculture.
Browse through who we consider the most dedicated, er, weirdos, and see what you think.
