All the Video Games, Most of the Jokes, Less Inside Baseball

The legendary and mind-bogglingly successful Penny Arcade has long been a stable of the hardcore gamer's entertainment diet. But speaking as someone who does play games, sometimes the strip's subject matter can get extremely specific and inscrutable for all but the hardestcore. If you want a more populist gaming comic with a very (suspiciously?) similar art style and two male leads, check out our profile of Virtual Shackles. It's not as consistently funny as Penny Arcade, but has many more jokes that you can understand without attending a half dozen major trade conferences a year.

What if the Internet Was Invented 100 Years Ago?

We young'uns are all under the impression that, aside from the occasional fashion choice and their hilarious racism, people from the distant past were pretty straight-laced. This is only because of lies our grandparents and Tom Brokaw told us! Turns out that people from the last turn of the century were just as weird as people from this one. The Olds aren't going to get away with lying to us anymore, thanks to Black and WTF, the site that collects bizarre pictures from old times and puts them on your futuristic internet. Some of the pictures are forgeries, sure, but picking them out is half the fun! Read our profile of Black and WTF and tell that snooty jerk Brokaw to shove it.

Dumbest Quotes from the GOP Candidates (So Far)

Dumb Republican Quotes A roundup of the most ridiculous things said so far by the 2012 Republican presidential candidates:

"The president, he put us in Libya. He is now putting us in Africa." —Michele Bachmann, unaware that Libya is in Africa (GOP presidential debate, Oct. 18, 2011)

"Yes. Yes I feel that strongly about it. If we can get the necessary support and it comes to my desk I'll sign it. That's all I can do. I will sign it." —Herman Cain, speaking about a constitutional amendment banning abortion. Presidents, however, do not sign constitutional amendments — they're passed by congress and must be ratified by the states, and the president plays no role in the process. (Oct. 22, 2011)

"It's a good issue to keep alive. It's fun to poke at him." —Rick Perry, suggesting that President Obama's birth certificate is a fake (Oct. 26, 2011)

"Corporations are people, my friend... of course they are. Everything corporations earn ultimately goes to the people. Where do you think it goes? Whose pockets? Whose pockets? People's pockets. Human beings, my friend." —Mitt Romney to a heckler at the Iowa State Fair who suggested that taxes should be raised on corporations as part of balancing the budget (Aug. 11, 2011)

20bestmemes

Somehow this weird unemployed lady, Christine O'Donnell, got to run for US Senate. Bill Maher, host of HBO's Real Time, took the opportunity to dig out dusty twelve year-old clips of O'Donnell's appearances on his former show, ABC's Politically Incorrect. One of these clips showed O'Donnell discussing her teenage dabblings in witchcraft. The fundamentalist Christian candidate wildly overreacted, airing an ad in which she abruptly clarified that she is not a witch, and then even more abruptly declared that she is us.

O'Donnell earned herself an auto-tuned song, the very first sketch of Saturday Night Live's 36th season, and a lot of other mocking videos. She did not earn herself a Senate seat. Obviously.

Black and WTF Profile

Website: http://http://blackandwtf.tumblr.com/
Description: Just your average site with silly photos… but did I mention they're old timey?
Similar Websites: I Can Has Cheezburger, Babies with Laser Eyes, Nicolas Cage as Everyone

What is "Black and WTF"?:

We've all seen plenty of bizarre, awkward photos. This is the internet, after all. Judging from what you've seen, you would probably guess that people being weird in front of the camera started sometime in the 1970s, maybe when the first picture was taken of those obese motor scooter twins. But you would be very wrong. Black and WTF is a tumblog featuring exclusively black and white WTF pictures. While some appear to be relatively modern forgeries, many are legitimately artifacts going back to the ragtime era. A lot of them are of freaks, 'cause back then most people were racist against freaks. Wait, are freaks a race?

Doctors' Names & More Aptonyms

One morning, my radio partner, Bob Middleton a k a Bob Walker, was reminiscing about his proctologist.

Out of the blue, just because I liked to watch him fidget, I adlibbed, "And what was his name?"

Without missing a beat, Bob said, "Dr. Gloves Moonman."

After a full minute and much laughable effort later, I composed myself and we were able to continue.

What's an Aptonym?:

It turns out the perfect mating of a person's name and his occupation is termed an "aptonym" or "aptronym." The Canadian Aptonym Centre adds "'aptonym' is a compound word which consists of the adjective 'apt' (from Latin via Middle English) meaning 'exactly suitable, or appropriate.' The second part of this word comes from the Greek 'onuma' ('name')."

Prescription for Puns:

We've located two mammoth lists of real people and their jobs. Among them, there's Dr. Charles Butts, a spokesman for an anti-smoking lobby, and a circumcision expert, Offa Peanis.

Don't miss The Doctors' Names List for more real name fun. There's veterinarian Dr. Render, urologist Dr. Manzone, podiatrist Dr. Smellsey, and many more too naughty to repeat. Right, Dr. Beavers?

25 onion articles

For almost as long as there's been an internet, there's been The Onion. The website, an offshoot of a once-obscure local publication, uses a news format to satirize American culture and American media alike. But of course, you probably already knew that - because before there was College Humor, Funny or Die, or even Fark, there was The Onion. We diced the internet's most venerable humor site to bring you 25 best bits from its long history.

All images courtesy The Onion.

1. Black Guy Asks Nation for Change

According to witnesses, a loud black man approached a crowd of some 4,000 strangers in downtown Chicago Tuesday and made repeated demands for change.

"The time for change is now," said the black guy, yelling at everyone within earshot for 20 straight minutes, practically begging America for change.

2. F*** Everything, We're Doing Five Blades

This parody of the Schick/Gilette razor wars is noteworthy for predating Gilette's actual introduction of a five-blade razor in 2006.

What part of this don't you understand? If two blades is good, and three blades is better, obviously five blades would make us the best f***ing razor that ever existed. Comprende? We didn't claw our way to the top of the razor game by clinging to the two-blade industry standard. We got here by taking chances.

3. Hijackers Surprised to Find Selves in Hell

Printed in The Onion's first post-9/11 edition, this article managed to find humor in a very unfunny situation.

"I was promised I would spend eternity in Paradise, being fed honeyed cakes by 67 virgins in a tree-lined garden, if only I would fly the airplane into one of the Twin Towers... But instead, I am fed the boiling feces of traitors by malicious, laughing Ifrit. Is this to be my reward for destroying the enemies of my faith?"

4. Don't Tell Me You've Never Wondered What Yoda's Penis Looks Like

So I guess I'm expected to believe that, while watching The Empire Strikes Back, the second act of which is practically all Yoda, not once did you wonder what he looked like naked. And when he died in Return Of The Jedi, his robe remaining on his bed as his body disappeared, you never imagined that robe disappearing with Yoda still lying there on his back, his nude form exposed for all the world to see. Yeah, I am so sure.

5. Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New 'Intelligent Falling' Theory

Put this one in the "almost plausible" category.

As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in this embattled Midwestern state. Scientists from the Evangelical Center For Faith-Based Reasoning are now asserting that the long-held "theory of gravity" is flawed, and they have responded to it with a new theory of Intelligent Falling.

6. Why Do All These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My C***?

Take last Sunday, for instance, when I casually struck up a conversation with this guy in the health-club locker room. Nothing fruity, just a couple of fellas talking about their workout routines while enjoying a nice hot shower. The guy looked like a real man's man, too–big biceps, meaty thighs, thick neck. He didn't seem the least bit gay. At least not until he started sucking my c***, that is.

7. Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over'

I don't even think the writers expected this farcical recap of Bush's inauguration to be so accurate.

"You better believe we're going to mix it up with somebody at some point during my administration," said Bush, who plans a 250 percent boost in military spending. "Unlike my predecessor, I am fully committed to putting soldiers in battle situations. Otherwise, what is the point of even having a military?"

8. Fun Toy Banned Because Of Three Stupid Dead Kids

Shortly before dying, Weiller told emergency medical personnel at St. Luke's Medical Center that he had shot the missile into his nose in the belief that it would travel through his body and out his belly button.

"I've heard some pretty stupid s*** in my time, but that has to take the cake," said Dr. Anderson Hunt, the attending physician. "Why would any kid think he could fire plastic missiles up his nose and expect them to come out his belly button? There's no point in feeling bad about this child's demise, because the deck was obviously stacked against him from the start."

9. Ho, Ho, Ho! I Saw You Masturbating!

Kind of a horrifyingly perfect metaphor for the end of childhood.

Season's greetings from your old friend Santa! My, oh, my, only 12 nights left until Christmas Eve! Things are getting so close now, we can hardly contain ourselves here at the North Pole. And from the looks of it, my young friend, we're not the only ones set to burst! Why, Jolly Old Saint Nick hasn't seen a Yule log this lit in ages!

Now, don't be shy. You know what Santa's talking about. You just couldn't wait to open your present this year, could you? Ho, ho, ho! Dear child, I saw you masturbating!

10. Why Can't I Sell Any Of These F***ing Bibles?

I didn't waste any time moving in for the sale. I asked the woman how much she'd expect to pay for a handsome Bible with a 32-page full-color insert, a genuine, hand-f***ing-crafted leather cover, and a reinforced spine that could take just about any beating she could dish out.

She didn't answer, so I went ahead and answered for her: A f***ing hell of a lot more than $14.99, that's for sure!

Hilarious Needles in a Funny Haystack

There are college graduates that were born after satirical newspaper The Onion was founded. "Seinfeld" premiered the same year. Ronald Reagan was the President, Back to the Future was only one movie, and Eddie Murphy was one of the biggest box-office draws in America. It's frickin' old, is what I'm saying. So when you're picking the best articles ever out of its voluminous archives, you've got a tough task. Fortunately, top scientists contracted by your guide, Lukas Kaiser, created a mathematical formula that measures pure hilarity in units called "Gigagaffigans" (a word which, in and of itself, registers at about twelve Gigagaffigans). The result? Our infallible list of The 25 Best Onion Articles Ever. You're welcome.

Working Daze

The cartoon strip by John Zakour and Kyle Miller, says Comics.com, "is a slightly skewed look at life in a modern, high-tech office. The comic centers around the staff of MacroMicroWare, a computer company that makes a bunch of products though nobody is really certain what their main market focus is. Still, the CEO is mega-rich, so the staff assumes that somebody somewhere must be doing something right."

See today's strip and an archive.

Can Goats Be Heroes?

When comic artists get tired of their creations, most will end the strip and move on to something new, some will simply retire, and at least one will outsource the creation of their strip to a soulless army of eager young cartoonists. Few take the path taken by Jonathan Rosenberg, who after five years of making straightforward jokey strips about two losers sitting in a bar, decided to destroy the earth and have his protagonists go about having space adventures and traveling through dimensions in 30+ installment story arcs. If that's confusing, our profile of Goats may help, but you'll probably still be lost until you jump into its decade plus of archives. And after that, also.
