In the early days, Fark seemed pretty funny, even if you never read the actual articles. Nowadays, not even the headlines seem especially funny. Everything is an in-joke, it seems. Anyone have a suggestion for a similar site that isn’t such a clique?

I find [Cracked.com](http://Cracked.com) to be a pretty good time-waster.

Failblog is good for quick laughs.

I’ve followed Cracked since David Wong of the former Pointless Waste of Time took over an editorial position, been very, very good ever since (and has content every day instead of a day every few months now).
