Okay so you already have a hint that the tweet I believe could be the worst tweet in Twitter history involves a photo of Lisa Lampanelli and Lena Dunham — “2 trifling ass white bitches” — kickin’ it together, probably chasing “the blacks” around a bar somewhere in Brooklyn or something, right? You probably think that there’s no way it can get any worse than this. Well you’re wrong.
Are you ready for this?
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my nomination for the worst tweet of all-time…
There is so much wrong with this. Where to even begin?
First of all, obviously no white person — even one who claims to have dated “the blacks” back when she was fat — should refer to anyone as “my nigga.” Secondly, the last person on earth who should be referred to as such is Lena Dunham, the most awkwardly, painfully white girl ever. Finally, anyone who uses the term “beyotch” regularly as Lampanelli does should be sterilized for the sake of humanity’s future.
Congrats, Lisa Lampanelli. You have taken Twitter to a new level of terrible. Alec Baldwin approves.

sigh…–waits for the “oh its only jokes LOL, lighten up” defense– Lampanelli always seemed to not-so carefully stroll along that funny/kinda racist line cuz she “fucks the blacks” and comedy…but this is just bad taste all around. what is it with black and white folk not knowing how to act on twitter?
Meh, it ain’t that bad. If she had included jokes about aborted fetus’ and shoehorned in a holocaust joke then tweeted a picture of her vag, then it would be the worst tweet ever.
I dunno, I think that might push it around to the “so bad, it’s good” territory.
i agree with carl…fetus AND vaginas? gold
Isn’t that her stand up routine?
Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke.
I thought jokes were supposed to be funny.
Im more concerned with rising gas prices than what some triflin’ ho says on twitter.
Ride a bike and get a smart phone.
You’ve obviously come to the wrong place then.
1. I live in a rural area in which riding a bike is impossible, unless I dont mind taking 3 hours to get to work.
2. I cant argue with that.
These bitches are to scared to bring that hard R.
THESE SCARED MOTHERFUCKERS SHOULD GO TO CHURCH.
PREACH BROTHA
Yeah, this is awful. I hate Lena Dunham.
Maybe in the running for worst Tweet by a celebrity, maybe. But probably nowhere near worst Tweet by anyone. Give people a voice, especially over the internet, and they will say some stupid shit.
How did Lampanelli get skinny…??
Will they put her on Dancing With The Stars…???
1. Surgery
2. Hopefully never.
(as reported by a white person who has guilt laughed through her specials…)
She has a story on themoth.org that’s kind of cool; she talks about her issues with weight. I normally don’t care for her but I enjoyed it.
It is disturbing that she now looks vaguely like Courtney love.
It’s more extremely lame, in the old white suburban lady trying to be cool way, than really offensive.
Word’s meaning evolve, and what is/was considered offensive/racist in a certain context/period can lose that meaning with time and in the proper context/cultural group.
That doesn’t make racism or segregation ok, but reappropriation of slurs have happenned before (queer in the LGBT community for example).
I recall a pretty great South Park episode about that where the kids were calling annoying bikers “fags” without understanding why some people were offended, as the word just meant “a bunch of sticks” at first in old english. It also poked fun at SoA which must have angered Kurt Sutter, which is always great.
Yeah, I winced out of pure awkwardness at how hard she tries and badly she fails to be funny and offensive more than actually finding her words offensive. They’re offensive to people with a sense of humor and self-awareness, not to black people.
Reappropriation of slurs happens in the communities of those affected. Women can reclaim bitch, queer people can reclaim queer. A white person doesn’t get to reclaim the word white people invented to degrade black people. And that South Park episode is nothing more than an excellent example of straight male privilege in action.
Also it’s so easy to say “words evolve” when yours is not the marginalized group it’s affecting. Just think on that.
@Ari seconded. White people have absolutely no business, in any possible context using that word. And, seriously, it’s not the greatest injustice in the world that you are not allowed to say that word. Get over it.
The topic #liberaltips2avoidrape was trending last night, so I’m pretty sure the worst tweet of all time lays within there, also with any hope of the GOP ever getting the women vote again.
I really wish I wouldn’t have looked that up.
Ruined my whole fkin morning.
Oh wow. Seriously, everyone else, don’t look through those. Just don’t.
Worst tweet of all time? Come on…you act like you haven’t even seen a #TeamBreezy tweet.
Or every tweet from every feud Lil B or Azealia Banks ever had.
Guys, come on, that’s only mild racism.
this
Who is Lampanelli and why should we care
Lampanellis are an order of jawless fish-like vertebrates, whose adults are characterized by a toothed, funnel-like sucking mouth. The name is derived from lampetra, which translated from Latin means “stone licker.”
Oh, wait, my bad, that’s actually the definition of a “lamprey.” But you can see how I got confused.
If there was a like function, you would have mine Zack.
Leave Zane Lamprey out of this one!
I don’t get her style of comedy. Everything about it screams “Lazy Shtick”, and I like most comics. Dane Cook makes me laugh, Whitney Cummings makes me laugh, I’ve even laughed at Carrot Top. But her jokes aren’t good, even if they are racist. Her jokes are the caliber of the ones sent in to the Laugh Floor at Disney. If she had to work clean her act would be: Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide. Which was funny the first time my daughter told it when she was three.
Louis C.K.’s racist jokes (and his poop jokes and jerk off jokes) are hilarious because he’s making a larger point. She’s just giggling at saying naughty words.
Seriously, every joke she’s ever told is “I FUCK BLACK GUYS AND HANG OUT WITH THE GAYS, ISN’T THAT HILARIOUS” and yes, the shouting is how she tells it.
An excerpt from one of her standup routines came up on my Slacker radio three years ago. The joke:
“I wanna have more black D in me than a Harlem urinal!”
Sure, I had to clean some projectile vomit from the inside of my windshield, but whatever. Not ha-ha funny; more like “I hate humanity so much at this particular moment that an exasperated half-sigh is the only thing keeping me from turning my soccer mom SUV into a 2-ton ball of pure destruction” funny.
However Kungjitsu given that you have laughed at Whitney Cummings I suppose you may react less violently to her humor.
Wait, wait, wait… Dane Cook makes you laugh? If you’re over 15 that’s not something I would be telling other people. That being said, I saw Carrot Top in Vegas and I did laugh. That’s probably something I shouldn’t be telling other people.
Whitney Cummings is Giada de Laurentiis. She’s not very good but I respect the honest effort, and I’m sure she speaks to the Lena Dunham demographic a lot more than Lamanelli (I’m in the Damon Wayans, Sr., Martin Lawrence demographic). Lampanelli is Guy Fieri. OK, buzzwords; I get it. However, I don’t get people paying money for it
@Irishame
Dane Cook’s funny. He’s not insightful or groundbreaking, but he’s funny.
She’s a shock comic who was funny/famous for about 15 minutes. Then the shock wore off and there was no substance at all behind it, so she fell off the map.
That’s a pretty solid breakdown, Kungjitsu. I can’t fault your logic. So much of her humor seems to be based on: “LOOK AT THESE OUTRAGEOUS THINGS I AM SAYING, OH HO HO, I LOVE BLACK DUDES.” All sizzle, no steak
Maybe Samuel L Jackson was the one who took the picture. It’s okay to drop an n-bomb if he’s in the room, that’s the new rule, right?
Aside from the fact that someone gave Lisa Lampanelli a twitter account, I have no problem with this tweet.
Sorry, but I can see that she was angling for white-folk politically incorrect “aren’t we funny because aren’t we the exact opposite of what we’re saying” humor. It fails, but not in the angry outraged way, just in a meek internet-fart kind of way.
more like I think I’m hip but I’m painfully ugly and unfunny tweet.
2 idiotic Cs neither which is funny or talented.
forgot to add kill them both with fire.
have a nice day. ” finger quotes “
There are going to be a lot of “thoughtful” essays about this I’m not going to want to read.
She could have used any other term, like one of my personal favorites: Cunt, and it would no one would even look twice at this, just two white girls being two white girls. But she DELIBERATELY chose to use the N-word to get a rise out of people. Well, it worked on me. I’ve never found her funny, just really loud and vulgar and this is just one more reason for me to dislike her. I don’t care how much black dick she’s fucked and sucked, it does not give her carte blanche to be using that term.
“I don’t care how much black dick she’s fucked and sucked, it does not give her carte blanche to be using that term.”
Slow English major clap.
The best part about Lampanelli is that Patrice O’Neal really seemed to dislike her so much that his usual comic-on-comic douchebaggery was genuine.
u have any audio on that. i would love to hear patrice wax poetic on his hatred for lampanelli.
patrice will always be top 5 in my book
I don’t think there’s any audio of Patrice actually saying anything, but I’ve heard audio of other comics talking about how brutal he was to her backstage. She even talked about it if you search on youtube “Lisa Lampanelli’s Patrice O’Neal story”.
No it’s not. Not even close.
I’m more offended by Lisa Lampinelli’s “comedy” than her language. But then again, I’m white.
“Secondly, the last person on earth who should be referred to as such is Lena Dunham, the most awkwardly, painfully white girl ever.” That’s… the joke, is it not? Not that it’s a good one, but I’m pretty sure that’s the joke. Lisa Lampanelli is awful, but to call this “the worst tweet of all time”? When #LiberalTips2AvoidRape has been trending for the last 12 hours? This is the worst Uproxx write-up of all time, durr hurr hurr.
That’s a little heavy, coming from a guy with the worst name I’ve ever heard.
Hah! You dirty beyotch! I’d be more proud of myself if it was the worst name of all time, though. “Worst name Zack has ever heard” doesn’t really have much cachet.
You disappoint me.
Fuck, I really blew it there. I’m so sorry.
*attaches stone of shame*
Talk about “a little heavy.”
(Actually, I kind of hate and regret the “Shabz” part of my name, to the extent that I always expect someone to say something about it, so that’s why I took your comment un-ironically instead of as the very funny reference that it was. Kudos, Zack.)
Hey, I’m always happy to make a Simpsons reference. If I ever get myself banned around here I’d come back with the username “Johnny Deformed”.
That’ll get the boys’ attention.
Now kiss.
Much like the Redskins mascot controversy, this has all the features of something that offends only white liberals.
I’m an African-American male and I’m…repulsed, not offended.
its a disgusting tweet cuz she’s trying to be edgy to stay relevant and this is usually a last resort for ppl to say nigga before they fall completely off.
also skinny lisa is disgusting, i cant even look at her.
i’m just as disgusted with lena dunham always, and always always being naked. i now understand what stern meant. i will give her whatever she wants if she just puts her god damn clothes back on please for the sake of humanity.
As a black man i found the perfect gif for my reaction
This
Im Native American…I have the same feeling when people get their panties in a bunch over the Redskins name. Dont give a flying damn.
I’ve been reading this post trying to find something that makes me wanna give a fuck bout Lisa Lampanelli, but I can’t. I mean what type of female brags about all the black guys she bangs? That shit ain’t funny. And WHO are these black guys that actually thought to themselves Lisa Lampanelli is worth it? They probably the same black man that brags about fucking white girls, but when you see the girl, you do a double take to make sure he’s lying–for his own good.
“They probably the same black man that brags about fucking white girls”
Black dudes fucking white chicks is a given. No one brags about that lol
Even though they are both ugly broads; I’m not turned off by the Dunham cleavage.
please ignore me

Speaking of the N-word, Danger will you please do some research and find out who Guttah is from “What’s Beef?”
u talking bout the infamous “C-Gutta” known all around the world for kidnapping kids, fucking them in the ass and throwing them over various bridges across the east coast.
he’s some dude from bed-stuy. i once heard lil cease mention his name in a story he was telling about the formation of junior mafia. good stuff. i have a friend i call c-gutta now ever since i first heard what’s beef. he reluctantly accepts it
Guttah was a drug dealer buddy of Biggie’s who has been to prison. While there, Guttah would fuck prison mates in the ass, not out of a sexual pleasure, but to show dominance over his victims. At some point, Guttah got off on the dominance, and would take it regular less of the victim’s defenselessness or age. Biggie took note and would go to Guttah when he had a disagreement with a fellow thug who had children, or nephews, etc. Biggie was more willing to harm children after the actions at the end of Somebody’s Gotta Die, and Guttah seemed to be the best conduit at his disposal.
Or take the word of that Brooklyn native who seems much more knowledgeable on the subject.
Well, that got dark quickly. [throws on Ellie Goulding to cheer up]
White girls be white. What else is their to say?
Read Jose Conseco’s twitter theories on gravity then come back here and publish a retraction.
Stop the presses; an ugly, fat, stupid white woman can only find groids to bang her because real humans are disgusted by her
Nothing ever translates to the written word well. More so when referring to your white selves as ‘niggas’…..oh no, is this the worst unprocessed comment ever cuz I’m a cracker?? But I’m a liberal, so it’s aiiight
Oh please-Lampanelli has seen more black dick than a Harlem urologist. Ever see her perform? The blacks in her crowds give her a pass-that’s enough for me.
SHOUT OUT TO MY N—A DON ‘NO-SOUL’ SIMMONS
This my first time seeing Lena Dunham. She looks like a plus sized Gaga. I will call her BBWG from now on.
Weird comments in this post. Glad I don’t wander out of With Leather much.
I wouldn’t say this is the worst tweet ever (Azealia Banks’ continual alienation of her gay fanbase is climbing up there), but Lisa’s style is pretty one-note. Anyone who relies that much on being offensive to get laughs probably isn’t very funny to begin with.
which is which
Oh grow up and everyone lighten the hell up. You can’t say a thing in this country anymore without the word police tearing it apart. Don’t be a fascist have some fun.
It is racist… and at the same time, it isn’t. Let me explain.
I am Black and I personally believe that nobody should use that word in any context, ever, because of its origins. I constantly get browbeaten by Blacks and Whites who talk about the context of the word should be taken into consideration. What really pisses me off is Blacks who claim the word is OK when used amongst Blacks but when Whites use it, it’s offensive, no matter the context. Well, here’s an example of a White woman using the word in a positive context. No ill-will behind it. Any Black person who uses the word to refer to another Black person claiming it’s in the guise of a positive context and dares to get offended by Lampanelli’s tweet should shut up. You CANNOT have your cake and eat it too.
