Holy mother of cheese. This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.

Those who frequent [Something Awful](http://www.somethingawful.com) may have seen this. It’s called [FashionSWAT](http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=2916) - a couple guys who work on the site take old fashion ads and review them. I could not stop laughing at these. The link goes to their review of some obscure comic book characters, which is one of the best articles so far. 😃

If you need a good laugh today, check it out. That section of the site is safe for work.

Not work safe – too darn funny, and your coworkers will wonder what the hell you’re doing making those noises over there in your cubicle by yourself. Most embarrassing.

Let me rephrase that. Work safe, IF you won’t get in trouble for laughing your arse off. 😉

It probably gets caught on the “pornography” net because of segments like “Horrors of Porn” and “Cranky Steve’s Haunted Whorehouse,” which is now defunct. Oh, and the hentai game reviews.

The “_It will be the most delicious mortal sin since I f_ck#d my neighbor with a Toblerone\*” alone was worth the price of admission. The Vulture dialogue is priceless

Old people are incontinent and unpredictable and you can’t manhandle them without breaking their hips and looking like an asshole. And you can never tell if they’re knowingly committing a crime or just too senile to realize what they’re doing. So the police just sort of stand near them with their arms crossed and stare at them looking stern but helpless while the old guy yells about god-knows-what.

Another site that has a very funny Superhero (and villain) page is [www.Seanbaby.com](http://www.Seanbaby.com). I doubt if anyone’s at-work firewalls will allow this to come through, as even the banner ads would be decidedly non-work friendly. That being said, his reviews of the Superfriends are absolutely hysterical (YMMV).

The review of Dr. Bong practically had me rolling on the floor with lines like:

_"First of all, Dr. Bong is totally the name of your college roommate who ate all your Bugles. And then you’d come home and find him having sex with a really ugly hippie girl on your bed, and you’d say “what the fuck, Dr. Bong,” and he’d go “dude, there was a tie on the door!” and you’d say “what the fuck is a tie on the door supposed to mean,” and he’d say “dude!”_

And the Clock King:

\*"Marital Status: Single. What?! How?! THIS GUY IS A CATCH! “Oh Betty, I hear you’re dating the clock guy.” “NO! We went out once! ONCE!” \*

Do check out the other reviews they do. Some of the retro fashion ads are hilarious.

I thought the comic character ones were funny…and then I read the International Male ones.

Then I realised there are men in America who actually buy those clothes from International Male…and then I couldn’t stop laughing.

I think hentai is still kinda under the radar for firewalls. I’ve been known to visit hentai neko just fine through firewalls, without any effort.
