14 DAY TRIAL // Jimmy Kimmel occasionally rounds up all kinds of celebrities and has them read random mean tweets in front of a camera. Rumor has it that those hateful, funny and sometimes just gross messages aren’t real, but that doesn’t make the skit, not at all subtly called Celebrities Read Mean Tweets, less funny.
For the second Music Edition, Kimmel rounded up only singers, including some of the biggest names in pop and what passes for rap these days, and viral star Psy, who ruled the Internet in 2012 with his “Gangnam Style” music video.
Also included are Australian rapper Iggy Azalea and Canadian rapper Drake, but also Wiz Khalifa, who found it highly amusing that he was being compared to a homeless woman. Lady Gaga and Sia stayed true to their public personas and were in full costume, showcasing more than a healthy dose of humor.
Josh Groban, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and 5 Seconds of Summer were amused but not excessively so, while Ariana Grande could hardly finish reading the tweet because of how hard she laughed.
However, Kimmel saved the best for last with the video, having Psy read a tweet from someone who wanted to shove a stick up his you-know-what to prevent him from doing the annoying “Gangnam Style” dance ever again. Hilariously, Psy is convinced he can still pull off the routine even if this happens.
Check it out.
