Were you around and thinking and noticing things in 1994? You know, a person? Remember how 1994 seemed so sharp and up-to-date and everything of the previous two and a half decades just seemed cheesy, schmaltzy or crummy? Well, how's 1994 look now, smart guy? Go watch an episode of Conan from 1994 and just look the dumb sets, the stupid suits, the bizarre haircuts. All of that seemed normal. This phenomenon is ably exploited by Everything is Terrible, which mines the lower-quality artifacts of the VHS era to create side-splitting video collages. You will probably look this stupid to future generations.

The Oatmeal Tells Everything to Shove It
Are you constantly annoyed by little nagging things you can't do a damn thing about? Some people, like that wimp?Jesus, might tell you to just accept these things as part of life and move on. Nuts to that. Admitting you can't solve anything isn't going to solve anything! Instead, why not read?our profile of The Oatmeal, the web comic series that engages itself in a nonstop game of whack-a-peeve? Sure, it might not lower your blood pressure or bring inner contentment like other methods of dealing with annoyances, but at the end of the day, you'll feel superior to all kinds of people. And isn't that what's important?

Everything That Makes America Awful, In One Place!
Bill Keane's "Family Circus" has been making our Sunday funnies experience uncomfortable for decades, with its barely-concealed fundamentalist Christianity, inappropriately hot mom, and general lack of jokes. And MTV's Jersey Shore is now in its fourth season of making us uncomfortable, with its... wait, do I really have to explain this to you? Anyway, skip the hassle of being creeped out separately and get it all out of the way at once. "Jersey Circus" combines Keane's wholesome art with the Jersey Shore's whoresome dialogue. Read our profile and get skeeved faster than the Jersey boys drop their alleged standards and hook up with grenades.

Learn a Little Bit of Everything with The Book of Biff
If there's a knock on webcomics these days, it's that they're not educational enough or relatable enough. All that ends with The Book of Biff, Chris Hallbeck's look into the life of a squinty-eyed, heavily eyebrowed man who faces a new challenge every weekday and overcomes a challenge every week or so. Provided you live in a crazy, psychedelic dreamworld like I do, you should be able to learn a lot from The Book of Biff. If not, don't sweat it; I hear it can also be quite funny. Read our profile, better yourself, and improve your life. Or just laugh.
