If brevity is the soul of wit, Twitter is the focal point of humor and wisdom on the Internet. And while it's often filled with badly spelled tirades against all manner of issues, Twitter has a habit of providing loyal followers with some genuine pearls of wisdom (or at least a good laugh). Here are the best Tweets of 2015

TechnicallyRon
 

This writer's Twitter feed is a goldmine of jokes and wit, but perhaps his greatest contribution to Twitter is the list of reasons his wife has cried. Wait, are we not supposed to cry at dog videos?

Ristolable
 

If you're looking for offbeat music-related humor, look no farther. This account covers the gamut, from the hypothetical friendship of Kendrick Lamar and Drake to an on-the-nose Tweet analysis of the Beatles.

Mara Wilson
 

You may know her as the child star of Miracle on 34th Street or Mrs. Doubtfire (or as a voice on the podcast 'Welcome to Night Vale'), but Mara Wilson is more than just an actor: she's one of the funniest, smartest voices on Twitter. Wilson touches on political issues and fandom arguments, food and cats, always with a wry tone and an eloquent turn of phrase. Plus she posts a solid selection of cat photos.

Jaden Smith
 

 Oh Jaden, what did we do to deserve you? I have so many questions. Are you being sarcastic or sincere? Why do you capitalize every word of your Tweets, making them look like Fall Out Boy titles? What do you have in store for us in 2016? If you're not following Jaden Smith on Twitter, you're missing out on a whole wide, weird world. This is what celebrity Twitter accounts -- indeed, all Twitter accounts -- should aspire to be.

Anna Kendrick
 

Razor-sharp wit and a willingness to say the things the rest of us are only thinking make the Twitter account of Anna Kendrick a total joy to follow. The fact that she has no problem admitting to monster crushes on her attractive co-stars (and fangirling over her heroes) only serves to make her more fun. Plus she live-tweets television shows; what's not to love?

Bette Midler
 

She may be old Hollywood royalty, but Bette Midler has gotten the art of social networking down pat. Unlike some of her contemporaries, Midler is clearly the one behind the keyboard of her 140-character missives -- and we're all the better for it. Here's one of her sensational home recipes, perfect for when the holiday season just refuses to end.

Liv
 


In one Tweet, Liv manages to perfectly capture the eternal struggle all children face when their parents send them friend requests. On one hand, they're your parents. On the other... they post things like this. A lot.

Cameron's Pig
 

When rumors began circulating that during his university years British Prime Minister David Cameron had placed 'a private part of his anatomy' into the mouth of a dead pig as part of an initiation, the media had a field day. And who could blame them? The unsubstantiated story known across the world as Piggate gave birth to the hashtag #snoutrage and an endless stream of pig-related sex jokes. But we think the finest comment on the whole situation came from this succinct Tweet. That'll do, pig. That'll do.
