Smart Stuff
The latest in highbrow humor, from McSweeney's hilarious lists to to The Sound of Young America to online content from "The New York Times'" The Funny Pages and "The New Yorker's" Shouts and Murmurs section to video clips of the stand-up comedy of Steven Wright and Demetri Martin.
A site profile for novelist and screenwriter Dave Eggers' literary humor site. One of the best sites on the web.
"The New Yorker," a mostly serious magazine that's been published since the 1920s, has a strong and rather funny humor section. The comedy found here is, like the rest of the magazine, quite smart.
"Yankee Pot Roast" is a sharp online publication that specializes in smart political humor, satire, humorous lists and the occasional poem. The jokes skew towards literary, though they are always rather funny.
The website for "The Harvard Lampoon," the ages-old and quite famous humor magazine written by students from America's most respected university, doesn't have the magazine's full archives online, but the selected satirical pieces you can find are squarely highbrow and completely hilarious.
Though not regularly updated, "Modern Humorist" is still a must-read. The site, created by "Harvard Lampoon" alums Michael Colton and John Aboud, specialized in biting and smart satire about the web and the media at large.
