Internet Sensations - Jay Marshall

Feeling down or just need a bit of cheering up? Well, ever since the glorious world of the internet was created, many websites have been created specifically for making us laugh and giving us all a bit of a pick-me-up. These internet sensations, whether you’ve heard of them or not, are probably the most amazing and unique websites you’ll ever see. What’s even better is that I guarantee that they will make you laugh. You can’t get a better deal than that from a guy who has a lot of expectations when it comes to comedy. I’ll provide the links below and a description of what you can expect, just make sure you visit them some time in the very near future, or you’ll be missing out.

I Can Has Cheezburger
http://www.icanhascheezburger.com/
An amazing website where users place captions on pictures of cats. However, these aren’t just ordinary cats. They’re Lolcats, a comedic breed of cats that combines the internet colloquialism “LOL” (Which stands for Laugh Out Loud) with the already natural comedic genius of the domestic cat. Hell, these Lolcats even have their own language, Lolspeak, complete with many grammatical errors capturing the stupidity and complexity of the English language in a tasteful way. The captions are funny, the pictures are funny, and it’s not just slapstick or silly humour. The majority of the time you’ll be wondering what genius came up with such a witty caption all while laughing your head off. I highly recommend this website as it is absolutely fantastic, just make sure you have tissues handy when you laugh so hard you cry.

Fail Blog
http://www.failblog.org/
Yet another great website that is similar in design to I Can Has Cheezburger with the picture and caption layout, but it introduces a brand-new and unique concept: Fails. Every picture has the caption “Fail” and depicts extremely funny events taking place in which the people, animals, funny signs and more are failing at what they do. It’s very hard to explain, but really worth checking out. This website certainly shall have a long life due to its hilarious concept and the never-ending amount of Fails that we go through every day.

F My Life

Oh, boy. Human misery is certainly a pick-me-up for those who are down. This website is a place where anybody can whinge about the events that made their life hell that day. All in all, it’s a great concept with great, humorous results. Not only do you crack up at almost every post you see, but sometimes you’ll even be able to relate to what these people have gone through which makes it so much more real. It’s the perfect blend of humour and sympathy that makes this website a must-see for almost everyone. Just a warning though: as the name of the site suggests, it can contain profanity.

Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster
http://www.venganza.org/
Originally created as a joke to parody Christianity and other religious groups that demanded Creationism to be taught in schools, this website has now gained a cult following and will blow your mind. Not only is it absolutely hilarious, but if you think about it, the possibility of a Flying Spaghetti Monster deity is completely plausible based on the evidence on the website. It even has quotes from REAL top scientists and professors that support the Church of the FSM. What tops it off, however, are the photos from believers all around the world with evidence that the Flying Spaghetti Monster truly exists. He turns up in cloud formations, dinner plates, flower vases and much more. Check out this site, but keep an open mind if you’re highly religious.

Albino Black Sheep
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/
Welcome to the wondrous world of flash animation. Albino Black Sheep is the place to be if you’re looking for some animated goodness, complete with hilarious home-made music videos to series of full-length cartoons. Hilarity is sure to be experienced while on this website that has hundreds of amazingly funny and creative flash movies. And if that’s not enough for you, it even provides you with tools to create your own sources of fun, such as Soundboards (Which are great for prank calls. I recommend the Arnold Schwarzenegger one), interactive games and even prank movies for your friends to watch that will scare their pants off when a scary face and loud scream pops up out of nowhere. Albino Black Sheep, as the name suggests, is just plain weird but completely awesome.
