Celebrities reading mean tweets about themselves only gets funnier each time, like in a new video of Bill Nye doing the deed. As part of a promotion for a fan-made documentary about the famous science TV personality, Bill reads different tweets about himself, many of them from climate-change deniers or evolution conspirators. He laughs them off and doesn't take it too personally, except when one user gets upset at Bill for not using a more clever book title.

The video, which went up on July 31, has over two million views and is getting the documentary's creators closer to their dream of making this film about Bill. Their Kickstarter campaign received a huge boost from the video, though with 10 days to go, they are still a little bit away from reaching their $650,000 goal. Currently, there are all sorts of different rewards for backers, like a Bill emoji set, getting to stream the film first, and even GIFs and interviews of Bill. Is it even possible for anyone to ever get tired of Bill? We don't think so.
