Here's a nice sampling of what you can uncover on the Web, humorwise, if you spend 6-8 hours clicking and spelunking for laughs. The good stuff from my average day:
- 30 Funny Twitter Comics -- A long, solid page of cartoons, courtesy of Webdesigner Depot, tickling the Twitter experience.
- Seen on Twitter: @the_gman, @McBud, and @emailcopywriter passed around: "Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise."
- Cat Wants Aquarium Fish -- Ha! A quickie clip I had to add to The Funny Video of the Day.
- About.com Weird News Nude News: "Japanese law professor moons court, threatens judge, now faces four months for contempt." Welcome to the Gland of the Rising Moon.
- SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One -- Golly, sounds ominous, but this cartoon does feature The Johnny Depp. Yep. Hep! [via Dave & Thomas and YouTube]
- April Fool's Day Primer -- Guide David Emery examines the traditions at his Urban Legends site. Not a laugh riot, but interesting and will make your pranks convulsively hilarious in comparison! You go girl / guy / phantasm!
- Anytime with Bob Kushell Featuring Bryan Cranston -- The wacky Crackle video series presents its latest five-minute talk show with the star of Breaking Bad. Gotta love the band.
- Chad's Letters: Ludicrous Complaints -- Chad Bradley told me, "I've written a load of ridiculous complaint letters to companies - like telling IKEA I found a portal to Paris in their sofa, or claiming I found a shark in my mineral water. The companies replied, and quite a few are up on the Web..." at RollZero.
I always love a good letter and his correspondence to Whiskas is extra tasty.
- 'Man Foils Bank Robbery After Assuming It Was an April Fool' -- A Telegraph.co.uk news report:
"When [robber] Davidson said to him 'I've got a gun I will shoot you,' [customer] Andrew replied 'go on then shoot me' and grabbed the bag from his hands."
- 'Nature > Octomom' - From Atom's Children of the Blog, she's got nothing on natural supermoms The Octopus, Sea Louse, and Surinam Toads. (I dated a few of the latter during my radio days. Groupies.)
Author Ian Cheesman on Octomom:
"...She's become something of a circus (which is fitting since her uterus was essentially a clown car)."
-
'Who's on First?' 2009 Reboot -- Punchline Magazine pops this one over to you:
"On a recent visit to the nationally-syndicated Bob and Tom Show, comedian Paul Mecurio — a show regular — premiered his updated version of legendary comedy team Abbott and Costello’s famous baseball-themed sketch, 'Who’s on First.' To give it that 2009 feel, Mecurio shaped the humor around what baseball is really all about these days."


The Funny Site of the Week -- For several months, I've been following Your Daily Cute's alerts in my Twitter neighborhood because we share a "love of all things cuddly, furry, squishy, and edible." I think they may also be smitten with my dimples.
Following the Emmy Awards for broadcast and cable television excellence, the International Academy of Web Television (IAWTV) clicked over their first batch of trophies Saturday night in Los Angeles at
We're getting excited with the big April Fool's Day hysteria not far away. I've been rehearsing all of my favorite pranks. That dribble glass kills me. Ha, that is so funny! Anyone know how I can get grape juice stains out of my sweatshirt?
