Reality on a Stick

I haven’t introduced any new sites recently, because I hadn’t found anything funny enough to follow up passiveaggressivenotes.com.

Well the wait is over. Here are two gems that deserve the time it will take you to click on over there and start laughing your ass off:

The first site is Stuff White People Like was introduced to me by my boy Nico. Remember folks: this is satire. If you are the type to respond with comments like, “This is just perpetuating negative stereotypes. Wah wah wah!” then I urge you not to visit this site and instead to loosen up that sphincter of yours, or alternatively you might try finger painting with mercury or playing on the freeway or something.

Here’s a sample post to whet your appetite:

#77 Musical comedy

One of the more interesting things about White people is that they love singing comedians.

This style of humor involves a person or group singing a song but rather than singing about something serious, it has funny lyrics. It’s not any more complicated than that, but white people can’t get enough of it. Weird Al Yankovich, Tenacious D, Sarah Silverman (sometimes), Flight of the Conchords, Dennis Leary, and Adam Sandler are all excellent examples of the genre.

It’s a pretty good idea because when you have jokes that aren’t that great and music that isn’t that great, you can mix them together and create something that will entertain white people.

So how you can use this knowledge to your advantage?

If you find yourself at a corporate retreat where you have to put on a skit for the other employees in your office, it’s always a good idea to suggest doing a funny song. The rest of your group will get very excited and start work immediately on some clever lyrics. Do not worry about the music part, if you have more than two white males on your team, it is certain that one of them can play the guitar.

The second site I’d like to introduce is comprised completely of whacky photos tagged with one of my favorite ’80s phrases: Word to your ______.

Here are a couple of samples:

Enjoy.
