Robot Chicken Star Wars Special

Since Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, and Klay World (by Knox), I have been a fan of stop-motion animation. This fanhood now feasts upon the delicious hilarity of the stop-motion animation comedy show entitled Robot Chicken, a show consisting of a series of short parodies of movies, television shows, games, pop culture, and simply ironic and humorous events. Recently, Robot Chicken ran a double-length episode (since most are around 10 minutes), and I found such on YouTube, split into three parts, embedded below from first to last.





UPDATE: As the above videos have been removed from Youtube, you can instead watch the full Robot Chicken Star Wars Special for free (with optional commentary videos by its creators) here.

Hardest Mario

A good friend of mine recently drew my attention to this hilarious video in which a gamer attempts to play a very difficult fan-made Mario game (commentary included). I have not laughed as hard as I have laughed at this in a long, long time. Parts one and two are embedded below, respectively. It makes me want to fish out my old SNES. WARNING: Contains explicit language.

Stumbled: Don't Eat It

I never saw it coming. I figured that, perhaps, I would StumbleUpon some kind of game, art, or article, but I was pleasantly surprised to find this hilarious blog called The Sneeze. In particular, I found the section entitled "Steve, Don't Eat It!" to be a stupendous comedic compilation. Though it contains very severe language, I could not help but burst into laughter at frequent intervals. I would highly recommend this website to anyone who likes slightly disturbing humor.

Stumbled: Comics

Through my time of stumbling, I have come across many wonderful comics, my favorites of which I will now mention.

Goblins: A weekly comic that shows the life of a Dungeons and Dragons goblin, from their perspective. Funny at times, this comic excels in storyplot, boasting wonderful artwork (more info).


DrowTales: This is a gorgeous comic with much history and a stupendous story, set in a fantasy setting inhabited by Drow, a Dungeons and Dragons sub-race, though the comic itself is not directly Dungeons and Dragons-oriented, and there is much originality in the interpretation. The story, and particularly are, are simply fantastic, and I highly recommend this comic to any who enjoy true quality of art; both written, and drawn (more info).


Earthsong: Simply beautiful. From the eyes, to the faces, to the poses, the art in this comic could not be better. The balance between detail and practicality is sweet, and the storyline is intriguing and clever. Updates grace the homepage every Wednesday. There are some silly (read: amusing) occurances, but they are not at the expense of the characters, and rather a situation made of the characters (more info).


The Order of the Stick: Thrice-weekly comic following a party of stick figures through their adventures. As another Dungeons and Dragons based comic, it, like many others, frequently makes joking references to the actual workings of the game. The comic itself focuses primarily on story (and a great one at that), though comedy is common, often in sardonic quips by the characters, and there is surprising detail in the art form, despite its simplicity (more info).


Cyanide and Happiness: Daily comics of amusing encounters. Humor has precedence over graphic realism, but I don't think that hurts this particular comic (more info).


Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: Despite its name, this comic is a daily dose of delicious comedy, its themes often cynical or ironic situations of relationships, dire circumstances, or common clichés (more info).
