How could the General not be on a top 3 list yet? Yikes!

Fafblog ruined me for any other comic blogs.

1. Tbogg
2. Wolcott
3. Jesus' General

Newcomer Jon Swift is pretty damn funny. Otherwise, Sadly, No! and The Editors.

Tbogg, Wolcott and Roger Ailes are the go-to sites for snark. The General is a man apart, the master of satire.

Another vote for Sadly, No! and, slightly less so, Poor Man.

There's also a diving blog I hang out on that's a damn hoot, but y'all wouldn't be interested in that.

John Rogers' Kung Fu Monkey is some of the best smart funny out there. Sadly, No and Tbogg round out the count, with the Poorman being a close (very very close) contender.

"Bats Left Throws Right" is all I can add to the list if we have to limit ourselves to traditional blogs. Very well written.

1) fafblog is funnier even when dead than anything else alive
2) the poorman however is really fucking funny. both andrew and sifu
3) sadly no ties with lawyers guns and money.

The Big Feminist(TM) Blogs are a crackup for the train wrecks. Women are so peaceful and will do so much better when the men are in chains. But then they beat each other up for blow-jobs, puppies, shaving, anal sex, veganism, careers, mommys, attitudes toward sex, attitudes towards transgendered, ....

What a h00t!

1. TBogg
2. The Poorman
3. Jon Swift

Fafblog was the all-time best.

Tbogg is great.

Atlas Shrugged is also extremely funny, but she doesn't mean to be (except when she's joking, in which case it falls flat).

Jesus' General is reliably zany, surreal, and entirely too close to actual Republican policies in its parodies to be comfortable reading.

If this is a survey, then I have to add my own votes for Sadly, No and Wolcott. Jesus' General has been doing more "out-of-voice", non-satirical posts lately. Though reading his "letters" is still a real treat.

Just a thought...

Are we judging by the bloggers or the commenters? Because I've had more than a few good laughs right here at Political Animal.

kevin drum is as funny as richard cohen.

that aside,

sadly, no!
fred clark's epic 7000 page takedown of "Left Behind" at slacktivist, possibly the war and peace of snark.

Hey, thanks for the memory jog about Fafblog. I wasn't a regular reader, but that fabulous rant he did about Obama at the Dem convention has been on my mind and I couldn't remember where I'd read it.

Whatever happened to Fafblog anyway? Anybody know? The site is still up.

Sadly, No! kicks ass, but not so much because the blog itself is funny, but because the commenters are bloody hilarious.

bonus track: Rudepundit or Jon Swift

yea i know its not original

Whiskey Fire, but watch the language. Best known as the "d*** in a blender" guy for a great Iraq war analogy. Often not appropriate for work, but definitely a good political writer who always brings a laugh with phrasing.

Also, for a political webcomic, I always like Get Your War On Again, nowhere near language appropriate. And updates sporadically.

Adam Felber's Fanatical Apathy.

Alicublog.

I can't really believe that noone here has mentioned anything other than a political (or at least politically-oriented) blog, other than the idiotic (but at least mildly amusing) icanhazcheezburger.

The funniest blog out there, by a long, long shot is Every Day Should Be Saturday (edsbs.com). It combines informed college football commentary with humor in a real, ingenious, lightning-in-a-bottle-type fashion. Kevin: you say you're a fan of college football (at least your Trojans)...if that's true, you need to check this blog out. So do all the rest of you that care even a little bit about NCAA FB. For those of you that are more generalized sports fans, check out Deadspin (deadspin.com) - that's just as funny and includes all kinds of soccer news, etc.

Third on my list is MGoBlog, but that's just because he's the best/funniest Big Ten FB blogger out there. If you're a Buckeye fan (like me), or just the kind of fan who roots against Michigan AND Notre Dame, last week's "emo week" and this week's "emu week" (ND TRUE freshman QB Jimmy Clausen looks like an emu and gets his 1st collegiate start this Saturday in front of 110,000 mostly silent fans in Ann Arbor in what's been called "The Cripple Fight"), the capitulation there's been oh-so-sweet.

So that's my top three. I love Sadly, No!, but it's been done here. I'll say it again: if you're a sports fan, or a college FB fan more specifically, check out these three.

One vote for driftglass, although the humor is more bitter than laugh-out-loud funny. Maybe that's why I relate to it.

Of the sites already mentioned, I'm a big fan of tbogg.

for the occasional laff-out-louds, i love

1. TBogg
2. Alicublog
3. The Poorman

willing to try some of the others mentioned in this thread, however...

The Poor Man, Language Log, and Making Light.

Am I the only one who generally finds political humor unfunny? Even when I agree with the point of view of the author, it often makes me squirm. Plus, it seems like it's sometimes a cheap way to make a point. Of course, there have been glorious exceptions, but on a day-in day-out basis I prefer non-political humor.

So I'll go with the Dilbert blog as the funniest blog.

http:whateveritisimagainstit.blogspot.com

Sadly, No
Rude Pundit
Wolcott

Jesus General was funny once, now not so much.Tbog can be funny but he lifts other peoples stuff and acts like its his own. That's not so funny.

Another vote for "Whatever It Is I'm Against It."

I'm always surprised that it isn't more widely read...

The Dilbert Blog has some bits that would qualify as high-quality standup.

Also: The Comics Curmudgeon

Or, umm, maybe not (comments 57-74). Don't get cancer, Fafnir!

Dependable Renegade should have a lot more votes.

Busy Busy Busy too, but hasn't been posting much.

James Lilek is a conservative and his jokes have the emotive range of an ice machine, but I enjoy his wit and his blog. They recall the early days of the National Lampoon when Chris Miller and Doug Kinney wrote there.

Linkmeister, I still laugh out loud every time I think about those Making Light threads where they were doing the classics in LOLCats style.

Fafblog rules from beyond. The world is just not as funny a place without it. Read the archives.

AnnotatedRant is not quite a blog, but makes up for whatever it lacks in blogginess with excessive humor

GirlsArePretty - no politics at all, but funny in a bizarro-twisted-dreamworld sort of way.

As a one-off piece of satirical brilliance, David Rees's takedown of Michael Ignatieff on HuffPo.

i will second noumenon's vote for comics curmudgeon. josh fruehlinger's (sp?) critiques of the newspaper comics strips are quite funny, and the commenters there can be hysterical.

But nearly all of the blogs I read get funny from time to time--yourself included. (And Josh Marshall isn't funny often, but when he is he can be hilarious.) As high-minded and serious as we are at IIRTZ, even we have been known to let loose the snark on occasion.

Oh, and what the others said about Fafblog. Back in the day, nobody else even came close.

I'll put in a shout-out for Lower Manhattanite's posts at The Group News Blog (the successors to Steve Gilliard at The News Blog, God rest his cranky ass). That mofo can lay down the smack, not to mention some really funny shit when he's of a mind.

I nominate PoliticalFunnies.com as the funniest

More props for Lawyers, Guns, and Money.

The top three blogs that make me laugh:

Atrios
TBogg
PoorMan

Jesus' General bubbling under

Interesting that very few people mention the blogs Kevin listed. I never really thought of Alicublog and Unfogged as humor blogs although they can be hilarious when they want to.

I'm with the majority, if I'm looking for (mainly political) yuks I head to Sadly No! and/or PoorMan. And every great once-in-a-while I head over to Fafblog to see if they're back.

Most of the humor at Unfogged goes on in the comments, rather than the main posts.

Tom Burka only posts once in a blue moon over at Opinions You Should Have, but he's very funny.
