Humor: The Best The Internet Has to Offer
When the Internet first made its public launch in the ‘90s, few websites were available. Giants like America Online and Nickelodeon made splashes early on, but few websites featured entertainment sources where audiences could read for a good laugh. Fast forward to today, the list of funny website stretches for pages of search engine results. If you are unsure how to find these great sites, you should check out this list below, or find computer classes - cause obviously you have lived under a rock for the past ten years and could use some help.
From websites featuring funny pranks to ones with community-based images, some websites will have you crying from laughter. From examples, such as those listed below, you’ll be grabbing pictures and sending them to your friends, enjoying laughs with coworkers and turning a sad day into a funny one:
- 9GAG – A community-based website where users upload images of using Internet memes to poke fun of political events, sex and television shows. Individuals can find an assortment of different topics laid out in a forum-style fashion. One minute you might be laughing at the behavior displayed by children from the ‘90s and the next laughing at a funny picture about Darth Vader walking his miniature pet AT-AT (all terrain armored transport).
The memes found on 9GAG tend to appear elsewhere on the Internet, but they all originate here. Since the community votes on pictures, you’re sure to see only the best pictures make it to the “Hot” page while not so funny ones stay on the bottom of the “Vote” page. Any college student who is into photography may want to submit his own funny photo to 9GAG. - The Oatmeal – A series of comics, quizzes and random stories blend together to form a satirical website poking fun at politics, Justin Bieber, people with poor grammar, and cultural fads. One minute you’ll be taking a quiz titled “How Many Justin Biebers Could You Take in a Fight?” and the next reading comics about “Flesh out an Idea vs. Flush out an Idea.” The Oatmeal aims to humor audiences but sometimes you might learn a thing or two – such as about germs on a cell phone to grammar.
The Oatmeal also includes a series of comics composed by the authors. Comic strips make fun of Twitter, Netflix, video games and even social trends. For example, the comic entitled “At the Gym” discusses the different wants and attitudes of men and women at the gym. - Funny or Die – Words, pictures and videos all aim to humor visitors. From videos depicting the return of Ron Burgundy, the fictional character played by Will Ferrell in “Anchorman,” to the random pictures of funny images users find. Funny or Die mixes together a hodgepodge of funny ideas and mixes them together to humor visitors. As with 9GAG, individuals can make and submit photos and videos using their computers.
