Happy new year!


To end 2008, a brilliant video about Prop 8. Perhaps it sounds weighty, but we're talking a 3-minute video starring John C. Reilly, Neil Patrick Harris, Jack Black, Alison Janney, Margaret Cho, and so many others I can't even list them all. So worth watching. Things really are better put to music.

And in the words of Jack Black, as Jesus Christ, "See ya later, sinners!" Best wishes for a happy new year!

Anything public is fair game

Catty humor for comics

Do you enjoy the cattiness of Go Fug Yourself? Do you also love comics? How about a blog posting that rightfully rips apart the work of an overpaid hack - a roasting as funny as it is true? Well, look no further. For those of you who would like to sue Rob Liefeld for the impending aneurism his work undoubtedly provides, please click the link below and be ready to stifle some serious laughs. Thanks to Dan for the link!

From the maker of MAKING FIENDS

Here is another adorable, humorous animated webseries from Amy Winfrey, the creator of the webseries and television show "Making Fiends" that is now being produced by Nickelodeon. In this fun nugget, people are best by an enormous rabbit. Not surprisingly, it is called "Big Bunny."

Soon to be a Major Motion TV show!

This animated webseries is so adorable, it's been bought by Nickelodeon to be made into a television series. Who wouldn't love a cartoon about an evil little girl who makes her own best "fiends" - monsters from her kitchen that do her bidding.

So much changes in only a generation

This is a collection of comic book panels that have become unfortunate in today's world. They used slang like "boner", "rod", "butt-stroke" and "wank" in very different ways only a few decades ago. Not to mention the flagrant racism. My all time favorite unintentionally funny panels all make an appearance - especially Batman worrying that his "touch" has doomed Robin.

Just because they serve you...


This is my new favorite blog. It's a collection of written-in accounts of stupid customer moments. The funniest are when thieves and shoplifters call or come in to complain about the item they have stolen. If you've ever worked behind a cash register, you will get a lot of laughs out of this.

Color coded fun with balls!

Zuma is the fave game of a friend of mine. As soon as she sets up at a new computer somewhere she HAS to download it and start from the beginning. I should warn you that it is very consuming. If you're looking for time to fly by, give it a try. If you need to hide your procrastination tools at work, then you may not want to risk it!

Why is anger so very funny?

Especially when it's directed at adorable, sassy animals? This blog is the 'anti LOL cat' blog. It posts adorable pictures of animals, and then berates them for their calculated cuteness and egomania. This is definitely one where I had to cover my mouth at work while reading because I was laughing so hard.

Webseries with famous funny people

Check out the webisodes of "Children's Hospital" that the WB is putting out. They're written and directed by Rob Corddry and they are hilarious. Just so you know, there is graphic language involved, so it may not be appropriate for work. But, then again, it's so funny - who cares?

Fake Playboy Retractions

This is a very amusing article from McSweeney's. If you don't know McSweeney's, they're a wonderful publication and website that posts short fiction writing. They often have great short stories and fake articles. You can follow favorite authors as well. Very handy.

This particular piece is a fake retraction from an editor of an adult magazine.

Who doesn't need helium at their side?

This is a bizarre collection of animated web shorts featuring August Strindberg and his imaginary wingman, a helium balloon. Strindberg's morose ramblings are amusing, but it's the random support of Helium in the background that makes this really funny. Special thanks to Kemper for this find.
