6 Funny Fictional Characters You Can Follow Online

Never fear, because now, you can do just that by following your favorite fictional folks on Twitter, Instagram, and other sites! Check out six funny fictional characters you should be following right now.
Who could forget the character of Cher from the 1990s film, "Clueless?"

BuzzFeed staffers Jen Lewis and Leonora Epstein are the funny ladies behind this parody Instagram account. Faux "Cher" uploads pictures of her boyfriend, Josh (Paul Rudd), her house, the painting of her mom, the original "Betty," and other ritzy trappings of her very high society, perpetually teenaged life.More »
Regina George, played by Rachel McAdams, was the quintessential "Queen Bee" in the 2004 movie, "Mean Girls." Now you can get to know the "real" Regina by joining the 463,000 people who follow this character on Twitter.
Regina's Twitter feed is a good mix of quotes from the movie ("Is butter a carb?") and brand new, snottier-than-ever snark provided by the anonymous Twitter user who created and maintains the account. Now you can click "follow" and finally be one of the Plastics. Just don't forget, on Wednesdays we wear pink!More »

The feed currently has 1.3 million followers,, so check out this regularly updated Twitter feed for more of Homer's non-sequiturs and beer-clouded observations.More »
Though the Dark Lord Voldemort, played by a bald, noseless Ralph Fiennes, is the bad guy in the "Harry Potter" books and movies, you'd never know it judging by his over two million Twitter followers. Here you can see the big mean bad guy expostulating over bad pickup lines (Sample tweet: "#worstpickuplines Is that a wand in your pocket or are you happy to see me?"), sharing news about the HP series, commenting on pop culture events ("Someone disapparated Miley Cyrus's clothes!") and generally being sarcastic and cracking bad puns. It's delightful. We never thought we'd like the bad guy so much.
