Everybody fancies themselves as some sort of wizard that can conjure up laughter by a few strokes of a keyboard, but only a few tweeters are truly worthy enough to have all of their witticisms transmitted to you, the ever busy comedy fan trying to navigate through an increasingly congested internet. Every Friday we’ll make your life a little bit easier by introducing you to an individual that you might not know about who consistently makes us laugh and momentarily forget that other days of the week exist.
(If you’re reading this from an RSS feed, jump on over to the website where you can actually view the tweets for an optimal level of enjoyment.)

Schultz’s late nights watching forgotten eighties movies have blended together.

They have lead to a lot of moments of wisdom.
Most adulterers in the 80s got caught because the saxophone was too loud.

Contemporary movies just end up making him embarrassed.
I’m embarrassed to admit that I did really think that Jason Bourne was the whole story.

But sometimes they leave him satisfied.
When I saw Pitch Black back in 2000, I remember thinking “That was ok, but I sure could use a few more decades of this Riddick character.â€

From a specific genre of movies, Peter has repeatedly learned a valuable lesson.
If you’re the character in a Hallmark movie who doesn’t believe in magic, prepare to be so wrong.

Schultz sometimes only sees numbers.
Prop 8 overturned! Still looks like an 8, though.

This past presidential election was stressful for Schultz.

But has never been to San Diego.
Wait- I thought the mayor of San Diego was a sea lion in a Billabong tank top?

That doesn’t make him any less patriotic.
