I wish you all could see me right now, typing all this up while wearing my well pressed tuxedo. Oh boy, this is a big event! We are unveiling the funniest posts of 2006 from across the entire world wide web!
What you’re about to see are submissions from bloggers worldwide of what they considered their funniest post of last year. You’ll be surprised at what some people consider funny. But I’m not here to judge, I’m just here to host. . .
Welcome to The Bestest Blog Carnival 1.3 which is concept thought up by the P.T. Barnum of the blogging world, Mr. Bobby Griffin of “The Bestest Blog of All-Time” where content comes before correct English.
And speaking of correct English, I’d like to begin by calling out a post that wasn’t submitted by the blogger but that I’ve chosen nominate myself. “Janna”, who was kind enough to design the brilliant looking logo atop this post, writes about Australian slang on her blog “One More Raindrop In A Bloggy Ocean” Excuse me as I go chunder in the dunny.
Now, onto our show. I will begin by playing favorites. The first group of the Funniest Posts of 2006 are from “Friends of Blogstein.” These are just some of the personalities (read: wackjobs) that stop by here at Dr. Blogstein and frequently contribute their two cents.
- Finally, and this happens to be one of my favorites of the entire carnival, we all know him as “The Bizarre Jokester” of India’s funniest blog, “The Jokes Blog” and the dude (I think it’s a dude) even manages to make math funny in “The MATHS Joke!“
Let’s move on to what we’ll call Best in Show. These happen to be my personal favorites out of all the carnival submissions. Not being included here does not necessarily mean that your post isn’t funny, though it might.
- If you know anything about me, you know I get a kick out of those Spam Scam emails so when I saw this goof on a “Nigerian Blogging Scam” I damn near plagiarized the whole thing! Don’t worry, Justin, if I steal your ideas I’ll be sure to give full credit to your blog, “More Cowbell .”
- Admittedly, I had never heard of the blog “Antichrist & Minotaur Man” before I started doing this Carnival but now that I’ve discovered it, I’ll have to return some more. This guy is funny. Check out his wacky, insomnia induced story called “Units in the Ocean.” Die you devilish creature of the sea!
Well, it looks like it time for our first musical performance of the evening. Ladies and gentleman, put your hands together for this touching tribute to The Children of Myspace:
Wow! Inspiring! Thank you! Next category is The Faux-Interview. This was a comedic device used with tremendous success by two of our contributors.
Holy crap this is a lot of work! For the record, this is the most thought I’ve ever had to put into one of my posts! Speaking of crap. . .tell me, who in their right mind doen’t like bathroom humor? Seriously! Well, if you’re as sophisticated as I am, you are in luck. Whether you’re a fan of “#1″ or “#2″ do I have a couple of posts for you!
Moving on. . .Let’s face it, if you’re reading Dr. Blogstein, you’re a nerd or at least a part nerd. Its nothing to be ashamed of, in fact, it means that you should enjoy the next grouping of Nerdtastic Humor featuring topics such as blogging, video games and The Simpsons.
- Last though possibly the most nerdy of the Nerdtastic Humor grouping is Idea Book’s Ask Hawkins B.A.: Wee Pirate vs. Leprachaun. But don’t anyone try to pretend that you never spent nights wondering who would win in a fair fight between a wee pirate or a leprachaun?
And now, a word from our sponsors:
And we’re back to what is easily becoming the longest post in Dr. Blogstein history! Our next category is the Alzheimer’s Humor. That’s right, we have two submissions that poke fun at or laugh at the disease because I guess if you can’t laugh at dementia , then what can you laugh at?
- Karma Karma of JewBu Quest is a Jew who practices forms of Buddhist meditation & spirituality. She also makes the best of a tragic situation in “My Mom is Cute” a touching and very human post. Keep laughing!
How about we move onto a little Holiday Hilarity? We have some X-Mas lights and Halloween hijinx.
- Let’s start with Christmas while its still fresh in our memories. “They’re Everywhere!!!” could have been called “When Christmas Lights Attack” and is your chance to see Kara of “A Bit of Me” use the phrase “I almost wet my pants.”
Let’s check some of the funniest Public Service posts of 2006.
Now onto the Mothers of All Posts: Funny posts by moms, about moms, and for moms. Mommy blogs are great. I will never, ever, ever say anything bad about a mommy blog again. I love them all so dearly.
By the way, my apologies to CaptainDramaticsMom for not posting her link. For some reason I couldn’t open it up without it closing all my browsers. Nothing against you, I swear.
Now, let’s sit back and enjoy our second musical act of the evening, then we’ll return to conclude the BESTEST BLOG CARNIVAL. This song is in honor of all the pansies getting ready to root for the New England Patriots this weekend in the NFL Playoffs.
Wonderful! Wonderful! Thank you for that spirited performance. Is this post dragging on long enough for you guys? Well, stay with me, we have five more of the funniest posts of 2006 to go.
Did you know that in the first season of Gilligan’s Island, the theme song did not include Mary Ann or The Professor? They were important characters but were lumped into the lyrics as “all the rest.” Well, all of that to say that I’m lumping the final five posts into All The Rest because not of them fit any of my categories.
- Kevin of Humble Tidbits of Vacuity will leave you cracking up with this post. Let’s just say, his friend Stevie loses his “virginity” at ten-years-old. . .to Wilbur the dog.
- And finally, look no further than “The Missal” for Juan Wartina Garcia’s hilarious look at New York City’s ban on “Trans-Fat.” I, much like Garcia, am stunned that fat people can not use the transit system. But you know what? They could use the exercise.
Well, that finally closes the book on 2006. If you had half as much fun reading this as I had putting it together then I will have doubled your fun.
Thank you all for stopping by. Please come again. Stay tuned for your late, local news except for those of you on the west coast.
Good night everyone!
