PHOTO Steve Martin has fun with Gwyneth Paltrow via Twitter

Many times it feels like the new social media has passed the old comedic guard by. Now I’m not trying to hate on my elders because I was raised better but you just don’t see comedy vets hitting up Twitter and the like to drop classic jokes. However, Mr. Steve Martin stepped up recently to represent, and he laid down a hilarious Twitter bomb across the bow of Gwyneth Paltrow.

Those of us who follow this pop stuff know that Paltrow is a frequent snark target because of her often, shall I say, odd reflections on life etc… It looks like Martin was down with this knowledge and the following sweet-tweet had me LROFL!

Gwyneth originally posted the following during the Academy Awards in which she appeared with Mr. Martin and Martin Short:

And what did Steve do? Check it out!

Well played Martin. Well played indeed! The tweet was in good, check that great humor, but it should not be considered a dig at the actress. How can I say that? Because I don’t want Martin thinking starcasm is officially humorless!

In the end it’s obvious that Martin can own Twitter humor along with the best of the rest.
