Sites that Make you Smile (and Guffaw)

From over-the-top embarrassing family photos to clever "fake" news these spots on the web will break up with your day with a good does of comic relief.

It’s a well-known fact that a good belly laugh is the silver bullet to a dreary afternoon.  On those days that you need to take a mental vacation and need a giggle visit these sites and enjoy the funny.

Awkward Family Photos – 99% of us identify with these cringe-worthy photographic portraits of families. The themed photos are laugh-out-loud funny.  If you dare, send in your own embarrassing family shot and they’ll list it on the site.

Garfield Minus Garfield – The cranky and opinionated cat Garfield is still a fave after more than 30 years but what if he went missing from his own comic? The results are hilarious.

JibJab – This site gained fans due to its political cartoons but folks keep coming back for the interactive features. Upload favorite shots and make crazy, animated movies;  e-cards and pictures starring yourself and friends. Imagine yourself as Han Solo from Star Wars or your group portrayed as The Beatles. You can make that happen here.

The Onion – I remember when the Onion was first gaining popularity in the mid-90’s. It was a fabulously irreverent and smart “fake new outlet” that always had sharp commentary on current trends. Not much as changed (except maybe it’s budget) and it still rarely disappoints.
