this week's guffaws

Don't call this a cop-out, but this guffaws round will simply give a shout-out to three sites that regularly provide online laughter fodder. I may have mentioned them before, but they are always good for a revisit, since the funnies just keep coming!

Let's start with a no-brainer: The FAIL Blog
A constant source for refrains of, "Oh no they didn't!" Apparently, yes they did. The FAIL blog is my favorite go-to site for photos of the ridiculous that abounds in our world. Take a look at a few recent ones:

Really?? No copy editor noticed this one??


Oh, if you don't know the language, you should not be in charge of making children's clothing with that language on there. Simple as that.


Wow. THAT'S strict. My kids complain about the no-food-on-the-couch rule.


A cousin of the Fail Blog is up next. There, I Fixed It is a newer site that showcases all the DIY messes that shouldn't ever have been done in the first place. Hubby likes this particular site... I'm pretty sure that he's hoping nothing he's done-it-himself ever ends up on there.

I wonder how LONG that took to put together... long enough to justify not reaching for a different remote when necessary??


No messing with this soccer mom.


No view for you!


Finally, there's a site that makes me laugh and cringe and cry and gasp every single time I look at it. That's right, people, I'm plugging Awkward Family Photos! If you haven't seen this one yet, you need to email all your friends and ask why they haven't sent you the forwards! There are millions that I'd love to highlight from this one, but here are some from just the most recent postings. Oh my, oh my. (Oh, and I'm stealing their quotes below the photos, because there's no way I can beat the humor factor there!)

Saturday Night Special: The Prize:
Clearly, a win-win.



Faceoff:
We’re betting on the mullet.



Soulmates:
Somebody in this photo isn’t so sure.


Holy crow, that last one slays me. I'm sitting on my couch laughing that recovering-from-a-cold-but-sounds-like-a-lifelong-smoker kind of laugh, and I simply cannot stop. Must. Look. Away.

Check out the sites for more daily laughs-- good for some quick pick-me-ups that are (mostly) safe to view at work.


Sending you on your merry way to the humor jewels of the Internets,

  1. Funny stuff. I love ThereIFixedIt. Thanks for that. Although it isn't that funny to look at, and it wasn't funny to deal with, I did recently deal with a plumbing leak in my house that a previous owner had "repaired" with epoxy.

  2. Thanks again!

    When living in Japan, a very good friend taught me to go to the local department store and look through the t-shirts for a pick me up. She and I would be rolling in the isle. (It's the graphics they're after apparently, not the actual message.). She always had her camera ready to capture an inappropriate (hilarious) shirt on some unsuspecting citizen. I found I could no longer go to the department store with her, because it was too much fun and too embarrassing. :D !! (thanks for the memory.)
