This site features an Australian commercial artist David Thorne, who posts emails and correspondence he initiates in his spare time. It may not seem funny, but somehow with his clever writing, and penchant for silly anecdotes, he takes the person on the other side of the keyboard to such a maddening level of frustration, it's so hard not to laugh. His career first began with an overdue account, and him bargaining to pay the outstanding balance of  233.95 with a drawing of a spider.

The irony of this drawing being offered for money is that the original drawing actually sold for $10,000 (aussie dollars) on eBay once his website earned international acclaim. Although the high bidder told David "I have no intention of paying", David quipped back "the internet is a playground, and I wouldn't have it any other way".

This is fraud-o-tron preacher Robert Tilton all throughout the 80's and 90's scammed thousands of people out of their disability checks, and change jars. His preaching style and facial contortions were actually parodied all the way back in 1985 by simply adding a fart track over his sermon. Farts are funny. Seriously. There are a whole series of them on the youtube, and when I first saw it I remembered laughing to the point where I could not breathe.


4.  Trigger Happy TV

What now has become an obscure find, Trigger Happy TV was a hidden camera prank show with tons of visual humor, animal costumes, and pretty amazing music attached to the background of it all. Dom Jolly was the mastermind of this barrage of uncomfortable public insanity, which included a man screaming on the phone which trans-mutated into a catchphrase of a loud "HELLO!" . There are dozens of other skits, and brilliant pranks on the show, but the over-sized cell phone, and the "HELLO!" catchphrase cracks me up everytime.
