Teemo counters almost every solo-top in the current meta: Olaf, Lee Sin, Irelia, Fiora, Garen, Trynd, Sion, Darius, WW, Wukong, Shen, Cho... They can't farm, they can't hit you, they can't run, they just get zoned and die; and at level 6 you become ungankable. He can also hold his own against people like Panth and Vlad quite well if he gets some resist/HP.

Teemo mid's effectiveness depends on who you are facing but it's strong enough to be a "legit" trollpick. Anything that is unusually weak to harass or who is very skillshot reliant is usually fucked (including Gragas who can't really farm). However, any point-blank, zoning or tanky char like Swain, Zyra or Oriana tends to poop on him.

Teemo Support is also suprisingly legit. He has in-built damage steroids with his poison, and since it's a DoT you only need to land an AA every so often. You are also VERY strong in 2v2 fights thanks to your blind that makes the enemy AD carry's damage disappear. You positively rape things like Kog'maw-Nunu or Ashe-Janna or pretty much anything that's not a "I stun your face and instagib you" comp. Taric-sivir and Leona-Trist are probably harder to do well against, but since you poop on tristana at level 5+, if you play safe and don't get underleveled you'll be fine. I'm not going to go into how you don't need wards and how good you are at roaming because i'll run out of space.

Teemo jungle isn't legit though. It's probably doable but it's like Cassio jungle: you can kill the creeps but you can't gank and you can't counterjungle properly.
