I'm looking for funny sites, ones that can cheer me up every day or week with regularly-updated new material.

I've got:

http://dribbleglass.com/Jokes/bumperstickers.htm (updated intermittently)
http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html (mondays)
http://www.theonion.com/ (wednesdays)
The "links of the day" section at www.bluesnews.com (daily)

For cartoon strips, I've got:

http://www.userfriendly.org/static/
http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3
http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/archive

What else is good out there? By the way, I'm not looking for a single static page that's funny to read once. I'm looking for humor sites that are updated regularly.

I'm told http://www.somethingpositive.net/ is good. I don't have time for it.

As opposed to www.somethingawful.com ? It is updated every day. The main writer, Lowtax, is very funny, but a lot of his guest writers are just horrible.

On rare occassions, www.bbspot.com has something funny there. Also, if you aren't familiar with it, www.satirewire.com (no longer updated but thousands of articles) is hillarious.

www.fark.com

not all the posts are funny, but plenty of them are and are labeled accordingly. The "photoshop this" threads are almost always good stuff.

Cool, lots of good suggestions, thanks everyone, keep 'em coming!

I didn't realize Lowtax wrote SomethingAwful. Met the guy... at a couple of the Beatdown LAN parties that Gamespy threw. Cool.

Depends on your definition of humor, but I'm guessing from your other selections you'll like it.

  • www.boners.com - Funny pics updated pretty often
  • maddox.xmission.com - I agree with almost everything this guy says. If you don't you may get offended, but it's pretty funny if you ask me
  • www.airlinemeals.net - I check this site before booking a flight on a new airline. I laughed out loud at work today when I saw this meal:

Damn, there's a lot of funny stuff out there!

All this discussion sparked a memory... I just remembered a comic that I hadn't bookmarked and wanted to get back to reading regularly:

http://www.redmeat.com/

Cool...

Good online comic, very well done:

Humor site full of satire and sarcasm:
http://www.brunching.com/

If Gary Larson was mentally troubled, he'd write this:

Updated daily, a fully searchable database indexed on every word, and you can submit your own entries. A bit of a shameless plug, but it cheers me up every day.

Dave's Web of Lies

Another web comic - I love this guy's eye for line and nuance. Very nice stuff, updated daily.

PVP Online

Have fun,

Paul
