A pine tree planted in 2004 in memory of former Beatle George Harrison in a Los Angeles park has died after being infested by beetles.

This video has North Korea's Kim Jong Un piping mad. It has recently gone viral in China, and the dictator is not laughing about it. He has, in fact, demanded that it be taken down. Just one problem: once a video sees this kind of virility, it is just about near impossible for it to be removed from the world.

The rocket launch (2:27) is the best part.

"IF" only people in North Korea...or the so-called "People's Democratic Republic" (GAG me with a spoon!!!) had access to the Internet.....

eta...this "might" be where "OMG!" originated....though, I cannot attribute it to this specific song or time-frame......(I.E.....the 1980s).....

eta (part deux)....funny stuff, all of it....but Maybey (and THAT is intentional, AND some might get the reference(???) ). Crossing "streams" here....trying to be clever.

Failing. Mixed metaphors, I think.

Ref #1 was "Arrested Development" (One of my ALL-time faves)

Ref #2 was ...of course....do I have to say? "GhostBusters"

Not sure if this originally came from conspiracycards.com, but it's slightly amusing.

Dave, if you think back to our phone conversation you will know why I LOL'd at this comment.

A bit of unintentional humour, but I had to share.

Someone calling themselves "The Weather Watcher" on Twitter posted this flight path as proof that the "chemplanes" are circling in our skies:

Umm... Let's have a look at that nasty sprayer...

But notice how they have blurred a big area right next to the exhaust pipe!!! What are they hiding?!? (Just in case, this is supposed to be said in a highly sarcastic voice)

The blog is about the shill argument but I found this comment hilarious.

To truly believe that I benefit financially from expressing my opinions is akin to asserting that a dermatologist encouraging sunscreen to protect kids from melanoma is a Banana Boat shill.

10/10 for the scientific content

Let's be careful not to "knock" or "taunt" true believers too much. I don't believe that is our intent here.

Note to "true believers".....this is a place in the forum where we are just having fun, and perhaps let-go of some light-heated ironies.....and is part of the nature of comedy.

Humor is dependent upon the perceiver having a way to "objectify the situation." In other words, we often laugh at things that we have experienced or been guilty of, but we laugh when we gain a bit of distance from the behavior. We disassociate ourselves for a moment and step back to see the behavior for what it is--incongruous, funny.

If you understand the various graphs of radiative forcing components, you might find this amusing:

I love ANY sentence that begins with "If you understand the various graphs of radiative forcing components..."

Some funny lines from Christopher Hitchens.

 

[Soulfly]

This guy breaks down video games into odd and often twisted theories.
Here he uses Zelda to humorously debunk some myths about colloidal silver, wheat grass and power wrist bands.

 

[Svartbjørn]

LOL... yes its a satire site (from what I can tell) but the fact that its SOOOO hard to tell makes it both scary and hilarious at the same time.

 

[WeedWhacker]

I'm a "militant atheist" and I will sue!!! SUE!, I tells ya!!! SUE! SUE!! SUE!!!

Oh wait.....what were we talking about? <SQUIRREL!!!>!! I see a squirrel!! (Rushes off-screen....).........

OK.....Now, Three guys walk into a bar and....(oh, you've heard this one already? OK....)

A limerick, then? Allright:

There once was man from Hodge
who had seatbelts installed in his Dodge.

He strapped his date in and committed a sin
without ever leaving the garage.

(this is the "humor"...or "humour" section....right?)

(ETA): The limerick, above, is not mine. It comes from a film....which depicted a dystopian "future". Hence, it is relevant as a "de-bunk" because....that dystopian "future" has not happened....(YET!).

The movie was written by Harlan Ellison, and is titled "A Boy and His Dog". To me, an overlooked possible "Cult Classic" that deserves some notice and attention.

This glass contains the very essence of comedy diluted into it: http://www.stl.unitedway.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/glass-of-water.jpg (possibly many times and succussed along the way)

If you look very closely at the glass, you will SEE that it contains aqueous humour.

Is that a homeopathic cure for the giggles?
