Funny images

I've posted a bunch of remixes and notable videos earlier, even a more serious post on books. There are about a dozen more golden ones I've left out, but that's for another time. This is the post for themed image sites.

The winner for Most Currently Lost Potential is The Big Caption, which takes photos from The Big Picture and captions them with funny phrases and appropriate typography. Two favorites:





Why Most Lost Potential? Not enough updates. Unlike most themed funny image sites (the Tumblrs below, for example) the gimmick gets old fast. But The Big Picture has a long backlog, and will continue to be fresh, so we should have more than once or twice a month. But I won't rush quantity over quality ^_^

My other complaint is the lack of hi-res images. I really want "Haters Gonna Hate" for a Desktop background.

Tumblr + Blogger are full of gimmick sites that are hilarious for about 10 minutes each. Behold, Nic Cage as Everyone:

Selleck, Waterfall, Sandwich:



Man Babies:



Fun during the holidays: Sketchy Santas:



And my dad thinks he's not missing anything by staying off the Internet. Pah!
