Rob Delaney has positioned himself as the Internet’s comedian, thanks in part due to lively Twitter presence.

He’s been called the “Funniest Person on Twitter,” receives countless retweets and faves from his loyal followers, and is slowly creeping into mainstream popularity. His 600,000 followers think he’s really funny. For some reason that right now is an absolutely mystery to me.

The parody has become the master. Here are some of the account’s funniest tweets:
