Having A Bad Day? 8 Silly and Absurd Internet Blogs That Just Might Turn That Frown Upside Down

Sometimes sadness and crankiness can only be solved with absurdity. When all else fails, forego the happiness tool-kit and reach into the fun box of banal, random and silly absurdity that can only come from the internet. Here are 8 absurd and absurdly hilarious blogs that just might cheer you up on your next bummer day.

1. garfield minus garfield. Just as the title suggests, what would happen if Garfield daily strips were viewed with the title protagonist completely missing from the storyline? The resulting comics, many of them which involve his human owner Jon Arbuckle talking to himself in an empty room, are disturbing, thought-provoking and actually a whole lot funnier than the original.

 

2. AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com. The most cringe-worthy family portraits you will ever see, all conveniently located in one blog.

3. Scanwiches. Someone came up with the idea of dedicating a blog to photos of sandwiches cut in half and then scanned directly against the scanner glass so the sandwich contents can be seen in extremely clear detail. It just might distract you long enough from your problems to make your own tasty sandwich.

4. FAIL Blog: Epic Fail Pictures and Videos of Owned, Pwned and FAIL Moments. The subtitle speaks for itself.

5. TANKS A LOT. A blog dedicated to punny and pun-tastic store names. Laugh, groan and marvel at the cleverness of some of these store-owners. My personal favorites: "Avant Garden Landscaping" and a dog-grooming store called "Murphy’s Paw."

6. hipster puppies. Is your puppy stealing your black-framed glasses and fedora hats? Find out at hipsterpuppies.tumblr.com

7. xkcd: a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math and language. Nerdy stick people comics that will make you smile. Warning: can get extremely addicting.

8. Awkward Boners. Yes, I saved the best for last. And I am willing to admit what an immature 12-year-old I really am because this blog made me laugh the most.

    I think I must still be 12 years old too – I love awkward boners! :) And to add to your list, here are my three faves: Engrish.com (hilariously misspelled but well-intentioned signs/t-shirts, etc. from Asia), icanhascheezburger.com (silly kitty pictures), and failblog.org (lots of ridiculous pictures of people doing really silly things).
