Funny Infographics - Comic Originals & Parodies Well Done with a Side of Satire

These are all part of the geeky fun on MakeUseOf.com - an excellent site with really useful resources, How-Tos, Cheat Sheets and other tools freely available. I'm bouncing around the small section (only in comparison to the other parts of MakeUseOf) devoted to fun for geeks. From the obnoxiousness of Happy Bunny to smoother and sometimes subtle dorky humor, well that's just me and don't be surprised when I land somewhere in left field looking for a laugh later. 


Stupid politics got me all fired up and I was tapping away on a blog and lost all track of time. So in the midst of too many projects at once and  hoping the laptop doesn't crap out on me before I save that HTML code I just so painstakingly put in before I click save, I ended up back here in the sandbox looking for funny stuff to share with who exactly? Just going to go with it, seems this sandbox is becoming my new Zen Garden which could get pretty interesting.


So with no further further ado, here are the funnies I found worth sharing . . . 


The Hierarchy of Internet Needs mirrors Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs just closely enough to be a tad scary but it's all in good fun. I concur with all but the need for pictures and videos of cats. Actually I'll concede the cat point, particularly when a Roomba is involved - it's so ridiculous that "Roomba Cat" is one the top search term suggestions by Google when you start typing Roomba into its search box. But I really  don't get it. Chinchilla's, penguins and so many other animal are so much cuter and amusing.  


The Addiction Chart covers Porn, Coffee, Cigarettes, Alcohol, the Internet, Fast Food, Gambling and Apple Products. Humorously laying out when/how each addiction got started, when it became a problem, the time it was at its worst, its support group and finally when you know it's been kicked. Originally appeared on the Just for Enjoyment Blog


And saved the best for last or more aptly stopping for the moment on a really good one. It got more than a smirk, a definite smile and some laughter on the inside. It may have been unfairly denied an actual out loud laugh b/c my dad is awake and his office chair keeps squeaking and I don't like him being up during 'my time' b/c it means I'll end up staying up way too late to reclaim 'my time', you know that totally irrational need for alone time which in fact I now have as he's not bothering me and probably isn't even aware I'm up (even though my chair is squeaky too). And we're not even on the same floor in the house, so definitely quite silly and this little graphic deserved at the least a good snicker. 


So hopefully someone actually reads this someday and enjoys the If Websites Were Pets Poster as much as I should have. :)
