Smash Mouth Is Really Mad At Shrek

Shrek was a very solid all-around children's film which managed to bring in a ton of top-name talent, such as Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy, to elevate the story. You'd think that Smash Mouth would be honored to be one of the first things that people associate with Shrek, but if you were to tweet that opinion, the band would find you and yell at you. They've been scouring Twitter for over a year looking for people who don't seem to remember that they had written songs other than "All Star," or that "All Star" originally appeared on the soundtrack for a completely different movie.

Twitter"You ain't the sharpest tool in the shed."

It's like they think Shrek hindered their name recognition or something. Nobody has held this kind of a grudge on something that did them good since ... man, it's hard to think of examples of being mad at something that brought you money and fame.

Twitter"You're looking kind of dumb with your finger and your thumb in the shape of an 'L' on your forehead."

The offending tweeter tried to remedy the situation by apologizing to Harmon publicly multiple times. There's no such thing as a good apology over Twitter, but it's not like the guy is Harmon's next-door neighbor. He can't exactly leave a fruit basket on the guy's doorstep.

Harmon, for his part, didn't give a shit.

TwitterThat one's actually pretty deep.

It's worth noting, however, that this haunting tweet came after hours of belittling the guy and his mother.

TwitterThe yo mama joke you can only get from an Emmy-Award-winning writer.

Harmon finally took four deep breaths and put down the phone after inciting his followers to beg him to stop spiraling deeper into crazytown. Maybe we should all be thankful that Harmon's Community firing didn't happen online.

Blues Traveler Fought A Twitter Bot

Twitter is, unfortunately, rather flush with little bots. These accounts can tweet all sorts of nonsense, and it doesn't take a genius to make one. One of these not-geniuses, a guy named Forrest, has created one of the Twittersphere's least-technical but most influential bots, @assbott.

Originally designed to troll Trump supporters throughout the 2016 presidential primary season (a job it did quite well), @assbott ended up fighting an unlikely target: Blues Traveler.

Twitter"Sorry, I was looking for a different group of angry fedora-wearers."

You'll notice that @assbott's statuses make just enough sense for John Popper to think someone's screwing with him, but not quite enough sense for it to be real. Erring on the side of "It's not like I have anything better to do," Popper began to engage with a Twitter bot -- which, we feel the need to reiterate, is named @assbott.

Eventually, @assbott must have attained sentience and learned to feel bad for the poor guy's confusion, so it tried to out itself to Popper.

TwitterIs ... is he bragging about his mastery of insulting computer programs?

The next morning, Forrest himself tried to explain the situation to Popper, only to realize that trying to communicate with him is almost as bad as trying to get @assbott to pass a Turing test.
