Anything on the net is fair game, whether they be intentionally funny or not, whether it’s a big fancy website or a personal site, whether it’s content or just message board posts, etc. And don’t forget the Straight Dope (and SDMB) either! I’ll start: [The Onion](http://theonion.com) is the classic fake newspaper, and a lot of the stories are oddly captivating even if not always funny. [Acts of Gord](http://www.actsofgord.com) is a site recounting the (supposedly) true stories of compelling idiocy that a Canadian video game store owner faces in his work. When I first encountered the site, I couldn’t stop, and I spent 3-4 hours reading through his entire archived content… [Real Ultimate Power](http://www.realultimatepower.net) is a site done by a kid devoted to “real ninjas” and the path that they walk (such as flipping out and killing everyone, wailing on guitars, and getting boners the size of Nantuckett). I’m not sure if it’s a parody (the hate mail and lawsuit stuff kinda makes me think no), but it’s hilarious either way. [Dave Barry](http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/columnists/dave_barry/) is a nationally syndicated humor writer and I’m sure most of y’all know him. Hit or miss, but occasionally he comes up with some gems (the Ford Expedition SUV article was genious). [The Telemarketer Speaks. I respond.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=51270&highlight=telemarketer+speaks) was the funniest post I have ever seen in my life in any message board and it conveniently happened here in the SDMB courtesy of **Cervaise**. It’s a BBQ pitting and thus not strictly comedy per se, but the tone, rhythm, and word choices struck comic gold. And now, it’s your turn. Don’t make me sic Cervaise on ya 🙂 ---

[Lileks](http://www.lileks.com/) , especially the [Institute of Official Cheer](http://www.lileks.com/institute/index.html) . Brilliant stuff. The Washington Post’s [Style Invitational](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/style/columns/styleinvitational/) . A weekly contest, somewhat hit and miss, but when it hits it’s unbelievably funny. ---

**rexnervous** already beat me to the fabulous James Lileks. Some might find [engrish](http://engrish.com/) a bit offensive, but it has made me laugh myself into a state of hiccups. ---

Stick Figure Death Theatre. When you just want to sit back and watch stick figures come to horrific fates. I recommend Stairjump. Maddox, definitely. Brunching Shuttlecocks is no longer updated, but its genius lives on. Originators of the Geek Hierarchy, among other things. Tales of Plush Cthulhu is hysterical for all Lovecraft fans out there. Emotion Eric is rather amusing. For tech types, The Bastard Operator from Hell and Computer Stupidities (from Rinkworks, which was already mentioned) are both funny. ---
