Sean Spicer's Twitter account has some hidden gems
President Donald Trump's new White House press secretary has a lot on his mind -- and a lot on his Twitter account.
Sean Spicer held his first press conference in office on Saturday, and it sparked serious controversy and launched a new meme.
The buzz about him moved several Twitter users to dig through Spicer's old social media posts, and they did not disappoint.
For example, Spicer waged a 5-year tirade against the self-proclaimed "ice cream of the future" -- Dippin' Dots:
Dippin' Dots has since responded with a kind invitation:
@seanspicer, let's connect the dots! We hope you and the @WhiteHouse take us up on our ice cream social invite 💓https://t.co/kmg5cNqpFe

His battle against futuristic gimmicks continued when he picked on Daft Punk (which he called "Draft Funk") during their performance at the 2014 Grammys.
Daft Funk -- this is your 10 seconds in the spotlight - u r blowing it #GRAMMYs#Grammys2014

Spicer clearly loves award shows -- he live tweets the Grammys and the Billboard Music Awards.
He's a passionate hater of lip syncing, and loves to call it out.
The White House press secretary also seems to love "Entourage," and he's not afraid to be the oldest person at Jingle Ball.
Go thing I Tivo'd Entourage...now I have something to watch a 9pm

It's clear the man is obsessed with pop culture. He's constantly tweeting about celebrities, and he seems to have had a subscription to Us Weekly at one point.
So distastefule..US Weekly asks if I want to renew my subscription on the very day Kim K and Kris split...what I am supposed to say?

Cover of @usweekly says Lamar kicks Khloe Out - can't say I'm following close but I think Lamar shouldn't be kicking anyone out

His obsession is especially interesting because the president, his new boss, has repeatedly said he does not care about support from celebrities. That's how he justified his inauguration concert, and how he responds to celebrity criticism.
Spicer and Trump clearly have differences on that front, because the press secretary is certainly interested in what celebrities are up to -- he's been tweeting about it for years, even when he was the communications director of the Republican National Committee.
Spicer's Twitter will likely become more serious as he adjusts to his job, but check out some of the highlights:
