My vote goes for [theonion.com](http://theonion.com)? Its without a doubt the funniest **intentionally** funny site I’ve seen. Its consistently witty and hilarious.

What do you think is the funniest website around?

In a “can’t believe someone THOUGHT of this” type funny, I vote for [http://www.emotioneric.com/](http://www.emotioneric.com/) … simple, yet makes me laugh. [Seanbaby.com](http://Seanbaby.com) comes close, though. Especially his section about Flash.

    - I loved “AOL Geek of the Week” when it was around. After it died you could still find mirrors of it, but the last time I looked a couple months back I looked and couldn’t find any. I don’t got no AOL anymore to see if it’s still on there. Anybody know where/if it’s back up again?

- [Fugly.net](http://Fugly.net) I kinda like too. ~~~ [Fugly.com](http://Fugly.com) is a newer site, of the extremely imaginative porn-and-dead-people sort -plus they recently became a paysite. E-mail them and ask where all the free pictures of funny-looking people went.
- [Losers.org](http://Losers.org) (convenient indexing)
- [Portalofevil.com](http://Portalofevil.com) (site links and reviews, some X-rated)
- Many of the rest often contain X-rated material as well as being very funny, and so I will refrain from listing them here. - MC

Hands down, the funniest thing I have _ever_ found on the Internet was that work of sheer genius: [The Dysfunctional Family Circus](http://www.zompist.com/dfcindex.html). FC cartoons with captions written by the masses…and a good deal less polite than the originals. For those who like to see something good come from something so evil.

If you’re into any kind of gaming, [SomethingAwful](http://www.somethingawful.com) is an awesome site to check out…it’s seriously made me laugh out loud so many times at work that I can’t go there any more, for fear of being found out.

More like the skankiest man alive. So much hate on that page, and so many homophobic slurs pepper that site. I truly wonder why so much sophomoric ‘humor’ has to base itself on slurring others.

This [Bob Barr](http://www.jeffberry.com/Barr/) site never fails to bring tears to my eyes, no matter how many times I’ve read it.

Obviously, if you’re a conservative you probably won’t find it so funny 😃

Oh, get over yourself **Hastur.** Not everyone is after the gay man. Remove the pirate hook from your ass and readjust your butt donut.

I’d say that my two favorite websites of all time are:

1. [bad-candy.com](http://bad-candy.com)
2. [thespark.com](http://thespark.com)

I nearly pee my pants when I read the stuff on bad-candy.

These sites may not be intentionally funny, but are a hoot nethertheless…  
well actually they are disturbing.

I know this has been cited before here but is worth repeating  
“Asian Prince”

"A psychological study of President William Jefferson Clinton "

Wow, that wasn’t appropriate for the BBQ Pit at all.

Get over your own self.

Calling people “fags” and “homos” as he does on his website is homophobic.
