One of the best segments on Jimmy Kimmel Live! is "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets" (previously here and here). Pretty self-explanatory title. What's incredible, however, is the thick skin the participants display. No matter how barbarically they've been insulted, they always seem to have the last laugh. Taking a shot at Jon Hamm's body? Questioning the smell of Jake Gyllenhaal's genitals? Good luck with that. The best thing you can achieve is a public shaming which will make you crawl back into your sad little cave.

Jeff Goldblum is one awesome human being. Could never get tired of his quirkiness.
Met him in a random airport a few months ago super nice guy

If this is the meanest thing anyone has to say about her then she is doing fantastic.
Interestingly, young people are not only most likely to observe name-calling and efforts to embarrass someone, their experiences really stand out when considering more severe types of online harassment. They observe physical threats, sexual harassment, stalking, and harassment over a sustained period of time at almost double the rate of the general internet-using population.
Well the Kardashians/Jenners are like the ear worms of the news industry.
Not really worth #3. Her response shows she has a HUGE ego & takes herself too seriously...
I'm trying to live green. Watching plastic doesn't fit with my lifestyle.
However, according to Nigel Barber Ph.D., the future does seem a little brighter. "Online communities are becoming more concerned about the destructive consequences of tolerating the flamers, trolls, and vandals in their midst and are instituting mechanisms for group punishment in which those who violate codes of decency are identified and excluded," he wrote for Psychology Today.
"Such mechanisms are already ingrained in applications such as Uber and Airbnb. Soon social media will also be regulated—and it's about time."
I hate people. He's fine. He was a teenager when he filmed the movie and he's aged. That proves he's human. Idiots
Mark Hamill (not "Hamil") has been my hero since I was 8 years old. I can't believe he responds to my tweets! (yes, plural).
So... age = Yoda. Personally, I would not find this to necessarily be a bad thing... Seriously. The options: Look like old, wrinkly human... or... look like awesome green goblin Jedi-Master, only if you get the full meal deal though - green skin, pointy ears, light-saber skills etc.
He's actually very talented, but the screaming stupid movies are faster and cheaper to make
I saw the video, and he actually read that twit screaming his lungs out. It was hilarious!
Me too tbh... I read this and thought, "How the hell would they know that?"

Load More Replies...she was from Spiderman homecoming and far from home
Load More Replies...I feel like a lot of guys are watching that on repeat too much now
He's a great comedian and probably has had more then he cares to admit!
If Woody Alan can with a face that looks like a used condom, he can too
She's most known for being in the new movie Glass and the show American Horror Story
Load More Replies...WHO?! do you watch American Horror Story bc you definitely should
Load More Replies...It's even sadder to be a kid of any kind and grow up to be an Internet vandal, insulting people you don't even know for no reason other than to draw attention to yourself.
Or to just be a kid of any kind. How dare they?!
Load More Replies...At least he wasn't the type of famous kid who grew up and ruined his career.
Honestly I feel like going for Fred Savage is odd. There are other kids who were in TV and/or movies that were cute but now look a bit... odd. I don't really think he looks creepy.
To be honest, he does look freakishly Young. It's not creepy just weird
He is overrated. All of his jokes are about how black people are different from white people.
Not really. He may aim for the black audience but if you've ever heard his stand-up he's actually preaching a lot of good stuff for the community while being hilarious. Like his bit about bullets should cost 5000 dollars etc. Try listening to an entire show and you'll understand why you're wrong on this.
Load More Replies...Yeah, her "big mouth" is her whole shtick, Captain obvious. That would be like saying, "Gee, Fran Drescher sure has a nasal-sounding voice" or "Jeff Dunham sure uses alot of puppets in his act!". That is the basis of their brands. If she "shut the f**k up", she would have no career...her being the "ratchet big mouth" is what she is popular for....and I love her for it.
Personally I don't think she's funny but I don't hate her or anything like that✌🏾
The anonymity of twitter is the best thing that ever happened to petty, jealous people.
The anonymity of all social media has opened ways for frustrated, angry people with s****y lives to insult succesful people. Good thing is that succesful people aren't bothered with what an overweight lonely miserable loser in a one room apartment has to say about them.
Load More Replies...Some of these are not even funny, just plain rude :/ some people haven't mastered the art of being amusingly savage 🙅
To some point those kind emissions cultivate the bullying to the people. Even some people are famous don't mean they can handle this kind of comments deep inside. Look little Maisie, I think the comment make her sad.
I find it indeed troubling, disturbing, appalling, horrifying as well as sad, pathetic, pitiful and a definite shift downward in the cosmic arc of justice that some people have such empty lives they have to anonymously insult celebrities.
Some of those tweeters might actually feel encouraged now... Look, my nasty tweet is famous!
I would love it if they made it legal to go to these a******s' houses and do what they are asking these celebs (and others) to do while they sit smugly behind the comfort of a computer screen. David Harbour's tweeter would be a great example. OMG we can make it into a reality TV show too!!!! I gotta make some calls now haha
"nearly three quarters of internet users—73%—have witnessed online harassment. Offensive name-calling and purposeful embarrassment were the most common types of these attacks." 73% . Only 73% of internet users have looked at a comment section.
The other 27% live behind the internet equivalent of the moon.
