Now That's What I Call Funny: Vol. 8
Funny internet stuff, on-demand.
Welcome to our monthly internet humor roundup! Yeehaw! Here’s a bunch of stuff that made me chortle™️.
I’ve made no secret of my love for
, or the fact that it is a direct inspiration for Chortle.One of the reasons I enjoy it is that they publish so many different writers, which means it’s very easy to discover new favorites. For example, I subscribed to
’s newsletter in November after McSweeney’s ran his post-election piece, “I’m Putting Together a Team. The Worst Fucking Team of All Time”—which gets more accurate every day.More recently, he perfectly summarized our new, de-Constitutionalized Treasury system.
At long last, the right people are in charge of all our money: a person. Finally, we can rest assured that our money isn’t going anywhere it’s not supposed to go. In fact, our money won’t be going anywhere at all—not even back to us. Instead of many different people working together to decide how to spend our money, just one guy is doing that now. A perfect, streamlined system. Our money truly is safe because it’s staying where it belongs: in the hands of a guy who hoards money.
Anyway, things are going great in America.
Fixing this will be part of my presidential platform.
I really can’t tell how horny these are supposed to be.
Fame is fickle, and no one knows this better than millennials. Once, they were everywhere—in television laugh tracks for “The Big Bang Theory,” in breathless think pieces about social-media narcissism, and acting the fool in 360p YouTube comedy videos. Then—poof! Gone like yesterday’s avocado toast.
Here at BuzzCrunch, we once published more than seventy-five millennial-related listicles per hour. Now no one cares about millennials or thinks about them at all. Crazy, right? But what happened to these millennials who once lived large in our hearts and in our online conversations? We’ve hunted them down for old times’ sake.
This one hit me right in the feels.
