it's probably necessary to distinguish between internet spawned humor and humor that just happens to be on the internet.

Videogaiden completely went to hell in the final season. They seemed to just lose their minds.

Nah, the phrase "it's an FPS" still makes me crack up even now.

The only internet comedy that ever honeslty made me lol until I cried was Charlie Brooker's original TVGohome site. And that didn't happen all that often. It should still be on the list though.

Just gross

i've been seeing that everywhere since last night. strange how quickly things become phenomenons. why would someone upload a video like that?

weird that the two big net videos i've been hearing about non-stop for the past 24 hours is this, and the Prop 8 musical on funny or die.

It's more "haha, thank g_d that's not me" laughing than "haha, funny", but then so was 2girls1cup: watching people watch it was the funniest part

Once something like this gets on one of the small number of WTF clearinghouses like 4chan or somethingawful (and it will end up there, guaranteed), internet meme status is only hours away.
