What do you think the funniest humor site on the web is?  
My vote goes to Something Awful. It’s the only site that consistantly makes me laugh out loud. It might if give the SDMB a run for my favorite site overall. Though if it wasn’t for the SDMB I never would have discovered Something Awful…

So anyway, what interweb screen sites tickle your funny bone\>

Something Awful produces a gem article occassionally, the Hentai reviews and Truthmedias are always good, and Awful Links of the day produce great finds, too - but for that religious can’t-wait-for-it-to-update quality, I’m still [stickin’ with the Onion.](http://www.theonion.com) Sure, it might be a bit formulaic, but it’s a good formula and they’re adept at using it, dagnabbit.

The Onion sucks. It reminds me of a high school newspaper on April Fools day. Take a lame ass topic and push it to the limit. Might as well read the Enquirer or one of those other rags.

I would have said the onion a year or two ago, but IMHO it’s quality has fallen off since then. My favorites at SA are Cliff Yablonski, the ICQ pranks, and Photoshop Phriday. I’ve read the “space robots” prank at least 30 times and it still cracks me up.

Being a musician, I find [www.amiright.com](http://www.amiright.com) absolutely insanely funny. If you want a good chuckle, look up the misheard lyrics on manfred mann’s, ‘Blinded by the Light’. Better yet, get to it from here: [www.amiright.com/misheard/artist/manfredmannsearthband.shtml](http://www.amiright.com/misheard/artist/manfredmannsearthband.shtml) :smack:

I used to love the Brunching Shuttlecocks. But they have not been very prolific lately.
