Documentary maker Louis Theroux certainly loves the weird, and we're fans of his because of it.

That signature appreciation for odd, yet intriguing subjects perhaps errs on the predictable side by now, which is why a so-called Twitter bot, the Louis Theroux Bot, is so damn accurate.

Written in the manner Theroux introduces people in his documentaries, the tweets nail how wild these subjects often can be — from neo-Nazis, to cult members, paedophiles, and well, basically all the people he manages to build a rapport with, somehow.
