A lot of people probably now about this gem already, but seeing as I only found it myself a few days ago I thought I'd spread the word anyway. It's a fake TV listings magazine on the web which is downright hillarious. Here's a couple of programme examples...
10:30 New Series Up The Ante
Hidden camera gameshow in which members of the public volunteer to make already awkward personal situations infinitely more awkward through the introduction of an unusual hindrance which must be concealed for cash. This week, Damien Sanderson from Abingdon meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time - an ordeal he must endure without them noticing he is wearing a false right arm made entirely from meat.
8:30 New Series Do You Think I Give a Fuck? No Really - Look Me in the Eye and Ask Yourself If You Genuninely Think I Give a Fuck. You Can Take Your Pointless Trinkets and Shove Them Up Your Spluttering Shit-Caked Arse For All I Care. Now Get Out of My Field of Vision, You Grasping Little Pisscrane, Because Everything About You Makes Me Want to Puke Fucking Blood. Explicitly confrontational version of Antiques Roadshow
9:45 Trepanny Peck
Andre Agassi stars as the hard-bitten New York detective whose attempts at crime-solving are perpetually hindered by a woodpecker nipping at his brain through a gaping hole in his forehead. The Killer Wore Fish Canoes. On the trail of a professional hitman, Peck finds himself struggling to make sense of the most basic clues as the woodpeker drills through his memory banks and powers of reason.
The rest of the site goes on in much the same surreal vein, but there are some wonderfully realised re-occuring characters too such as Nathan Barley (soon to become a real TV show!) and Indiana Jones and the doomed Office Romance.
If you haven't seen this before it's unmissable...

I didn't find any of that funny. Dunno why. However those looking for another very funny site go here: http://maddox.xmission.com
His articles are hillarious (in particular his older ones were he didn't have to cover his back as much)
Again only in, IMO

Really, nothing at all? I guess humour is a very personal thing. I find most intentionally funny things funny, apart from American Pie which I thoroughly hated.

I'm really looking forward to the Nathan Barley spin-off, it's about time Chris Morris made a comeback.
