GOP Debate: Best Twitter Reactions from Comedians – Bill Maher, Patton Oswalt, And More

This past Thursday, the Republican debates were in full swing. Candidates including Donald Trump and Chris Christie voiced their opinions, as you normally would expect them to at an event such as this. Everything from immigration, abortion and even Rosie O'Donnell were brought up. Naturally, comedians were ready and waiting for such a political event and these are the funniest tweets from the event. Radio hosts and comics alike tore it apart.

First up is Jim Norton of the Opie & Jim Norton Show. Jim has a lot to say on Chris Christie and how the debates correlate to his sexual habits. Naturally Norton, a master of radio and stand-up, is also a master and burning down something like a political debate. It's vintage Norton.

Chris Christie's father worked in the Breyer's Ice Cream plant. That explains a lot. — Jim Norton (@JimNorton) August 7, 2015

I thought the debates were good. Then again, I like to be urinated on. — Jim Norton (@JimNorton) August 7, 2015

Here's Norton's former co-host Anthony Cumia. It wasn't surprising that he found joy out of Trump's Rosie comment. (The Internet is split on whether it's disgusting or hilarious – which is the case with most things online.) He also refers to an old member of the Republican party and offers up a prediction about Trump's future.

Poor Ronald Reagan is stuck in this debate like a bad group text. #GOPDebate — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) August 7, 2015

When does @realjeffreyross come to the podium? #GOPDebate — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) August 7, 2015

Hahaha!!!! Donald. Rosie #GOPDebate — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) August 7, 2015

Trump was really exposed as the goof candidate he is tonight. I think we'll see him start to fade. #GOPDebate — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) August 7, 2015

Naturally, Bill Maher chimed in as well. If it has to do with anything Republican, or just things he dislikes in general, his Twitter feed will light up. This night was no different than any of his other eviscerations.

Great pitch, Jeb: "Elect me, and I'll make America like Florida" Really?? — Bill Maher (@billmaher) August 7, 2015

I knew Education would come up. And I guessed right on the audience reaction: BOOOOO!! — Bill Maher (@billmaher) August 7, 2015

Some are saying Patton Oswalt won the debates. Oswalt gave a minute by minute hilarious dissection of the Republican debate. He claims Trump gets his information on the Latino community from movies and even mentions Gwar because they can make any situation – even one with a set of blowhards like these debates – better.

Donald Trump's views on immigration are based solely on the first 8 minutes of SCARFACE. #GOPDebate — Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) August 7, 2015

Can't believe they're not showing Gwar's opening set. #GOPDebate — Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) August 7, 2015

Artie Lange would have tweeted something but he was too busy hanging out with Snoop Dogg. In the end, he my not have won the debates but he won life. Snoop is infinitely more important than anything going on.
