I have a friend who has only been on the internet for 6 months, what should I show..?

Title ran too long. What should I show him?

Most of you will think this is lame but the first thing I thought of was All Your Base.

He won’t be interested in stuff like The Straight Dope or Snopes. I’m guessing he already knows about Wikipedia but I’ll mention it to him.

FTR He’s 32, average joe type, stay at home dad/online student.

Nobody gets away with missing this:

Even if he isn’t interested in Snopes he needs to know about it, and how to use it. Otherwise you will soon find yourself with one more friend you hate seeing in your inbox.

Teach him how to use google. The advanced options, how to limit searches to a domain, how to use the - to remove terms from a search, etc. Especially being a student having strong google skills is a must.

Uncyclopedia
xkcd and other quality webcomics (if that’s to his taste)
Facebook
Newgrounds

If he’s into entertainment:
Television Without Pity
TV Tropes

I think Google Earth might be the best free thing ever. If he has any hobbies, eBay is a must. Can you imgaine collecting coins or anything like that in the olden days?

Heh, I did. In some ways it sucked but in a lot of ways it was a lot more fun and exciting.

All the ‘obvious ones’ have been said already, except one:
