Celebrities Eating Dot Com

Funny Site of the Day -- Sure, many celebrities bite. That's a given, but many consume, too, so what we've got here is a photographic gallery of the empty and famous, stuffing their pie holes. Snarky commentary fills out the meal.

The Recurring Prop Newspaper


Funny Site of the Day -- Something fascinating, found at /Film:

If you watch enough television shows and movies, then you might even start to notice that a bunch of the same props are used over and over again. ... Someone on Reddit recently put together a compilation of photos from various television shows, commercials and movies, showing how one newspaper prop gets around and is reused, and reused again.

Notice the photos included here to illustrate the collection. Actor Ed O'Neill reads the same news on "Married ... With Children" and many years later on "Modern Family."

Speculation is the recycled newsprint has become an insiders' joke and will be as timely tomorrow and next year and the following decade. I'd just like to read the comics section.

'Chuckle Bros.'


Funny Site of the Day -- In lieu of creating a new destination called "Chuckle Site of the Day," why not introduce this promising series of cartoons here?

Comics.com shares what to expect from the team of Brian and Ron Boychuk in their comic strip, posted with an archive of previous entries. (Hmm, "Boychuk" must be, apparently, a synonym for "chuckle."):

"In a world that’s often all too serious, we welcome you to see it through the eyes of "Chuckle Bros.," a laugh-a-day every day.

"Humor can be found in just about every nook and cranny out there -- down dark alleys, deep in space, far out to sea and hidden under grates. These are just a few of the myriad settings, which serve as a backdrop for the zany world of 'Chuckle Bros.'"

Pencil vs. Camera

Funny Site of the Day -- An interesting photostream is underway over at Flickr. Ben Heine selects snapshots and then adds chunks of his sketches to either replace or introduce elements to the visual presentations. Seeing is amusing in this funny pictures gallery, which may contain a bit of material inappropriate for all viewers.
