I love snark. I love it. It’s way better than irony and sarcasm and sardonic…ness combined. Or maybe it IS all those things combined. Anyway. The kinds of sites I like are [twistending.blogspot.com](http://twistending.blogspot.com) or [claudiasroom.blogspot.com](http://claudiasroom.blogspot.com) (blogs that snark on children’s books of yore). I’m also a huge Television Without Pity fan (obviously for the sucky shows…not as much fun for the ones that are actually…you know, good). Anything else I’m missing out on that I should know about? ---

How about The Comics Curmudgeon? [http://joshreads.com/](http://joshreads.com/) Especially snarky now that Liz & Anthony (_For Better Or For Worse_) have finally almost, sorta gotten engaged. **Do** read the comments! ---

The video review site for people with bile-proof computers - [Zero Puncutation](http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation) . Every Wendesday Yahtzee Crowshaw puts up a video review of a game that he has proceeded to savage to shit and then set on fire. Hilarious. ---

I don’t get what’s supposed to be Durdenesque about WWTDD. It seems to me that no Palahniuk character, least of all Mr. Durden, would be up to date on celebrity gossip. ---

Although snarky reviews of movies are a dime a dozen thanks to _Mystery Science Theater 3000_, there are some great sites out there that review bad movies, [The Agony Booth](http://www.agonybooth.com) being one of my favorites. [Tough Pigs](http://www.toughpigs.com) is one of my favorite fan sites devoted to the Muppets and related Henson creations, taking a very flippant look at Kermit and company. The main blog is very entertaining and often contains the sort of thing you’re looking for, but the side links- especially “My Week,” “Journal,” “Anthology,” and “Soapbox”- contain the site’s archives before it was a blog, which feature a lot of snarky looks at various Muppet memorabilia and such. The Ugly Toy Contests are definitely worth a look. [X-Entertainment](http://www.x-entertainment.com) is a site devoted to covering bizarre bits of pop culture, usually from the 1980s, such as food, obscure TV shows, board games, giant ape juice, and action figures. And, of course, you can’t go wrong with [James Lileks](http://www.lileks.com), who for over 10 years has been saving and making fun of unusual ephemera from the past. ---

If I may be so bold as to pimp my own [blog](http://entertainmentweeklypeople.blogspot.com/): all it basically is is me (snarkily) answering the letters people write to _Entertainment Weekly_ and _People_.

Well, my own progressive essays are not as snarky as I had intended, but in my first chapter I juxtapose the evolution vs creation debate with the OJ Simpson trial. That’s kinda snarky. > **[Squeaky Wheels](http://www.squeakywheelsblog.com)** > > patrick douglas mccauley edina ---

[Bannable Offenses](http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/). It’s a blog from a GM on the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI. Most of it is clearly fictional, but the snarkery is awesome. It helps if you’re familiar with the game or at least MMORPGs in general, but he takes time to explain game-specific lingo. ---
