Finding the Funny on Associated Content

Looking for a laugh? AC has lots of hilarious folks posting videos, poems and humorous essays. Below are just a few of the people who stand out in the humor section of AC.

Nutuba writes clever wordplay lessons that will make sure you never misuse "hopefully" or "nauseous" again. He also writes A Christmas Story-esque nostalgia pieces about childhood mishaps and sweetly humorous fatherhood moments. If you like your humor smart without sarcasm, visit his profile often.


Greenhill writes poetry about an obsessive relationship with AC, "I used to go outside with the dog and play, Now I sit at the computer all day." There's also the scandalously-titled "My Husband Beats Me up Every Morning."


TheBarefoot needs no introduction. He's a well-known figure on AC.com and is very funny in long form as well as in his frequent, shorter Forum posts. Check out "911 Calls from McDonald's Prove Darwin was Wrong About Natural Selection" and his guide for college students choosing a major.


KValentine, who has been mentioned on the AC blog before, publishes a charming, giddy series of videos between dolls Cosette and Eponine. The two of them discuss everything from Final Fantasy video games to the Dollectable convention.


Loose Cannon is a relatively recent signup already making waves at AC with his edgy, sarcastic humor. Pay attention to him now, because he's planning on going places. Want to scam Starbucks for free coffee or hear his strong feelings on the financial bailout? Don't miss out on his blog, either. You can find a link to it from his profile.

Friday's Featured Content: McCain Has a Goldfish

Looks like the debate is on for tonight! As an appetizer, I thought you might enjoy this funny bit from wbva3fan (aka Gustevson Gornadi), resident of Harrisburg, PA, called "McCain Has a Goldfish."

In a style similar to George Saunders's humor for the New Yorker, wbva3fan writes facts about Senator McCain that you probably already know, like how he is "part of the government" and "wears a suit."But he adds details that you may not be so well acquainted with, such as how McCain has three pet goldfish that he sings to but has not named. Head to wbva3fan's CP page for other articles including "Hillary Clinton is Nice" and "Bush and Cheney are Nice."

It wouldn't be fair to laugh at only one presidential candidate so check out Angela Coleman's roundup of "Best Video Political Parodies of Barack Obama."
