There are simply too many interesting properties out there offering truly funny content. In addition to Jason's suggestion, I would put a plug in for the Break.com and Fark. I also like Funny or Die. As a mom, it's hard not to laugh at the Pearl videos. I am sorry to hear she's retiring... but we all know what happens to child stars.

So does <a href="http://superdeluxe.com" rel="nofollow">SuperDeluxe</a>, although the bar may be a tiny bit lower. I also really like <a href="http://dotcomedy.com" rel="nofollow">DotComedy</a>. Against all odds, I've come across some amazing stuff there. Yeah, Funny Or Die has some pretty great content. So does SuperDeluxe, although the bar may be a tiny bit lower.

I also really like DotComedy. Against all odds, I’ve come across some amazing stuff there.

I never even heard of thisjustin.com , if they would of gotten one comedian to do one funny sketch .... it might of been a diff. story.

A successful property requires its own culture and essentially a "soul". I fear that veryfunnyads.com could be next...
