We all remember Tom Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch going a little gaga over Dawson and Pacey’s former girlfriend. But imagine if we could remember that scene in a way that didn’t quite roll off the tongue. Something like:
Cruise crashes after crouching on couch creating chaos.
Gives it a little more zing, right? Which is why i thought it was time to take @AFrikkinHashtag to the next level and really engage people in the brain area which is where last week’s creative tag came from:
That’s right – the invitation to pic your favourite [or unfavourite] celeb and raise them up or crash them down in tongue Twister form in the most creative way. All made easier to play if you download the free @HashtagRoundup app and play along.
We trended #3 in the States and had some really great tweets coming through.
@AFrikkinHashtag the 1st mention of #TongueTwistACeleb appears on your TL. Now is Trending Topic in United States! #trndnl

As always it was impossible to pick a winner, but i was able to grab some of the standout tweets, which along with my own starting suggestions combine to make this week’s:

My nemesis slash friend [who will be hosting this week’s INCREDIBLE game in my absence so don’t miss it] Kesha Tedder had one of the most popular tweets [although anything Trump seemed quite popular]:

— Brett FISH Anderson (@BrettFishA) December 9, 2015
Although in terms of Tongue Twister’s, try saying this one quickly:
Can you #TongueTwistACeleb Like Dwight, this one looks simple but is deadly. @rainnwilson @DwightSchrute_ pic.twitter.com/AnoAeulRWs
— Brett FISH Anderson (@BrettFishA) December 9, 2015
And then of course there was all of you, starting with my two stand-in-as-co-host-for-the-day-competition-winners:
‘Is This How I’ who helped RT and Heart up a storm:

— Is this how I (@ahlers58) December 9, 2015
And v.finch who also jumped in and played like a pro:
Benedict benefits because bountiful batches of curiously cold cucumbers bought from burly batch farmers bring bliss. #TongueTwistACeleb
— v. finch (@muchsmol) December 9, 2015
Jenn actually dived in and subverted the tag from the start:

Daniel introduced a trend many followed of adapting traditional tongue twisters with a touch of celeb:

— Daniel Ashley (@DanielAshley13) December 9, 2015
And Dreamweasel cottoned on to the fact that by the time you have Benedict Cumberbatch’s name in any sentence the tongue twister is pretty much already well on the way:
Benedict Cumberbatch bumbleshoot bandersnatch #TongueTwistACeleb
— 8 Weaselly Nights (@Dreamweasel) December 9, 2015
The Orctioneer was back with a very unique desire:

Whereas Paul went a little House with:

— Paul Sullivan (@psully68) December 9, 2015
Which Dreamweasel immediately took a step further and found the artwork to prove it:

Daniel returned with some more traditional fare:

As did Valerie, throwing in some isiXhosa to spice hers up:
Malala says “walala wasala”, making noble Nobel medalist list.#tonguetwistaceleb @AFrikkinHashtag #BOOM
— Valerie Anderson (@val_c_anderson) December 9, 2015
Rob went meta managing to comment on the game while playing the game:

Whereas David may have had something there:

Bradley tongue twisted the pet of a celeb:
#TongueTwistACeleb Winona Ryder’s Seasick Spider Sat in Cider
— Bradley S. Howell (@BradleySHowell) December 9, 2015
And Donald provided probably one of the best in terms of actual tongue twisting – try say this three times quickly:
#tonguetwistaceleb Marshall Mathers makes monotonously metronomic, melancholy music morosely
— Donald MacNeill (@mrdonmacneill) December 9, 2015
And then we had the rest of these:
