I do like comedy, but mostly not the comedy you get on TV. And, being fond of Triond, I also like non-Triond comedians. Here are, in no particular order, seven of my favorites.

My Favorite WebComs, Cartoons and Riddles
No, I’m not that modest to forget myself here. This is my Squidoo Site… and the title says exactly what you get.
Woody Marx
My favorite WebComedian, publishing on the HubPages. He has a satirical and dry kind of humor, presenting himself on his Profile Page as “presently writing an autobiography about someone else”. Some of his best “Hubs” (as they call the articles and stories on the HubPages) you could describe as being a “mockumentary”, inspired by ghost and mystery stories, Victorian literature, mythology (both the “classic” and the “modern” one that is playing in the Urban Legend League, featuring ufo’s and aliens). Some of my favorite pieces: “Letters To Santa”, “Fairies As Pets”, “How To Be a Conspiracy Theorist”, “What to Do If Aliens Crash in Your Backyard”, “The Future of Mankind”…
Two Hot Girls in the Shower
Okay, maybe they are not that hot… But really, I think they are girls… And they are definitely in the shower, discussing trendy girly topics and answering all your burning questions! For instance, should you go all the way on Prom Night? YouTube StandUp Comedy about a boyfriend’s sexual appetites that may not meet a mother’s approval or some aspects of sudoku. If you want to ask these girls a question of your own, go ahead. They have email and you win a toaster if they don’t answer!
The Dead Guy Interviews
Writer and performer Michael Stusser always wanted to ask Van Gogh what that was all about with his ear, and Beethoven what he thought about this whole American Idol business. Michael not only got his interviews in a book (”The Dead Guy Interviews: Conversations with 45 of the Most Accomplished, Notorious, and Deceased Personalities in History”) but he also “audio dramatized” them on his MySpace page and produced some YouTube Vids, starring Sigmund Freud or Genghis Khan. (No StandUps here, but SitDowns!)
The International Organization for Investigative Cryptomystology
Your host Simon Boyd investigates mysteries and curiosities that have kept mankind spellbound and enchanted for centuries… For instance, how would Little Red Riding Hood look in bikini, now she has grown up? have looked if she had grown up? Simon has also some revelations for you about a group of people calling themselves “The Illuminati Society”, that is found all over the world and goes for a New World Order. Great YouTube StandUp Comedy.
Hunting Unicorns
Mystee is a renowned psychic, with credentials in Transgender Manifestation, Orbs of Love, Channeling Ghostly Activity into Financial Success, etcetera. She believes that you have to show some love to the spirits to find them (and making fine photographs of them). On her MySpace Blog she also organizes Mass Unicorn Hunts on the Gettysburg Battlefield. That can be dangerous though, because the Irish Brigade once fought there and there might be Leprechauns present. If you want to participate in a Mass Unicorn Hunt, you must also sign a list of safety rules, which include not go playing leapfrog with unicorns.
The Great Spam Recycler
I just love Spam! One of the great things that you can do with it, is recycle it into really dumb cartoons about the products that will help you regain control of your virility and length, male enhancement recommended by true herbal love doctors, outwitting Mother Nature with the new Karma (sic) Sutra Pills (”No One Will Laugh With This Giant Anymore!”) etcetera. Yep, it’s all about sex here, with these Great Pills of Fire. And of course, also about Britney Spears and that Hilton in Paris.

Fun stuff Patrick and great use of links. I’m guessing that the “Lost Dutchman” is possibly “Ned” Flanders.
