Every once in a while I'm going to link and review a webcomic, comedy blog or comedy webcast. I will be sure to include an "audience rating" recommendation if the material is over-the-top or includes "adult themes." Stay tuned!

Ask A Ninja (Webcast)This show is free to watch and doesn't require any special paid membership to see any special material. If you like, you can buy the DVDs and get extras and behind-the-scenes documentaries and so on. The show is about a ninja who comes out of hiding to answer questions about ninjas, partly to help clear up misconceptions about his kind and partly to let the world know that ninjas are still around and still to be feared. There are many violent themes and frequent references to murder. My rating: PG-13. In the beginning, the creators were working very low-tech but had a lot of ideas. It wasn't long before they started pulling in the dough, however. The show has won awards on YouTube and a Webby, in addition to several interviews and stories in the national media. The ninja maintains appearances with Doog of Doogtoons and the resulting "interviews" are usually made into regular episodes of the show. There have been crossovers with other podcasts, including the French Maids and an interview with that chick who got famous with her fake video blogs (what's her name? I don't remember nor do I care). As I recall, there are currently something like 70 episodes, each between 2 and 10 minutes long. I've seen all of them atleast once, most of them two or three times, and they never fail to crack me up. The ninja's musings about fantastic monsters and the epic but bizarre ninja culture are well-written and well-presented. The show's theme song is available on iTunes. The band's MySpace includes the song on an embedded media player. I've mentioned this show frequently and I've written about it here on the forum in the past, and I think it's worth mentioning again. And it makes a great first contribution to my showcase. The ninja looks forward to killing you soon!

Real Life Comics (Webcomic)Real Life has been around for a very, very long time. The artist, Greg Dean, has been a big fan of UO for just as long. Stratics even highlighted Greg Dean's comics about playing UO. Some time ago, EA invited people from around the world to go to small focus group sessions about the new expansions to UO. Many of these people were gaming celebrities or experts (ie. Greg Dean, celebrity). The focus groups spent the day chilling with EA executives and top Origin staff, experimenting with the new gaming material and giving input on ways to move Ultima Online forward. UO relations aside, Greg Dean is a hilarious guy. He hails from Rancho Cordova, CA (I used to live literally 2 minutes from him), and has spent the past few years going up and down the west coast (from Seattle to San Francisco and various locations in and around Sacramento). Recently, he and his wife (who is very involved in the webcomic) decided to move to a small town near Austin, TX, and to begin webmastering the comic full-time. Greg graduated a prestigious chef school in San Francisco and has worked as a webmaster for the famous food entrepreneur, Dave, who invented and continues to market iconic Insanity Sauce around the world. Since deciding to run the webcomic full-time, Greg has returned to publishing a new strip every weekday. The content of the webcomic is largely from Greg's life and the various funny things that he and his wife experience throughout their day. Although the webcomic could be called a comedic representation of his real experiences, the comic has visited the realms of high fantasy and science fiction in the past. Tony, a real-life friend of Greg, is a supervillain akin to Dr. Evil who has an orbital station armed with various world-ending devices and incomprehensible hacking ability. These strayings into sci-fi have earned Real Life a place in the Alterverse War, an inter-webcomic initiative which places all of the various sci-fi webcomic factions against each other on a massive scale. Despite the frequent nerdiness of Greg (he is a gadget-head and he has a lot of experience in the ways of armorsmithing, on top of being an admitted gamer), the webcomic's plot meaningfully reaches a very wide audience, especially because it doesn't present any vulgar or adult material beyond Greg's much-censored rants about ignorant people and arrogant little kids who kill his characters on MMORPGs. It costs nothing to view and enjoy the webcomic, but if you buy the books, prints of the strips, or donate to Real Life, Greg will often send you his autograph and other goodies. The books include behind-the-scenes information and commentary. Occasionally Greg auctions one of his gadgets or a piece of armor that he personally made (with his own two hands) - these items also come with bonus material (autographed memorobilia and so on). If you see Greg at a convention of any kind, chances are that he'll be hosting a panel about making your own webcomic. Though Greg, as a full-time webcomic artist, naturally seeks to maximize his own profit and has to compete with a huge array of competition, it is his intention to nurture the new generations of internet humorists. Seeking to reach a larger audience, Greg has attempted on several occasions to translate his comics into different languages. Currently, his efforts are focussed on the German audience (the largest group of readers from outside North America), though in the past he has attempted to translate the comic into "Canadian." Through his forum, you can offer to help in his endeavors, such as for translating the comic. Yes, it was very likely Greg Dean who originated the fabled Shirt Ninjas. Some speculate that Penny Arcade's Cardboard-Tube Samurai was originally spoof.

College University (Flash series/Podcast/Webcast)This is a cartoon that some fellas have been doing online for many years. I find it hilarious. In summary, it's about two guys who go to college and live a new adventure every day. I might have to warn you that the college admits monkeys (due to a primate equality law, a result of affirmative action) and that the dean is a drunken party animal (but not a monkey) Frequent visits to 80s nostalgia make a lot of cameos even more interesting for those of us who enjoy things like... the Transformers. Some 80s and 90s stars have even come to the show, including Randy Savage. Other cameos include Of a Revolution, a pretty sweet band, and fictional former kung-fu movie star Kung Fu Karl. If you think monkeys and robots and drunken college professors ranting about their jobs are funny, I'd totally recommend this. But I'd recommend it anyway. The CU producers run a regular podcast in a addition to episodes of the show, which are longer and require more time to create (especially because of scheduling issues with celebrities and other voice actors, as well as regular production time). The link above will take you to the episode guide of the regular series (of the longer episodes). He's a freaking monkey, man!

Will It Blend? (Webcast)This is probably one of the more famous serieses online with the older internet-using audience. "Will it blend? That is the question." Tom, the gracious host, whips out his trusty Total Home Blendtec blender to do such crazy things as destroy all of his family's credit cards (in an episode in which he and his wife declare that they're finally out of debt), make nutritious smoothie drinks (crazy, indeed!), turn a handful of toy glo-sticks into something that looks like active uranium, totally destroy Apple electronics, wreck that d**ned Guitar Hero controller, and more. All of the episodes are divided into two categories. "Try this at home" and "Don't try this at home." Though a lot of the "don't try this" episodes look safe, there have been accidents. Some episodes show the blender bursting into flame and other such hilarities - these are very dangerous demonstrations and the producers work hard to keep Tom and the set safe. If you buy the DVDs, they come with outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage. Yes, a Blendtec blender can literally blend anything... except Chuck Norris. A Chuck Norris action figure went through an entire cycle in the blender and wasn't scratched (some attribute this to cunning use of magnets but there are those among us who believe it was nothing short of a Norris-granted miracle). Note that all of the bad guy action figures got turned to dust and smoke. Note that the blender used in the show is a Home blender - this model is only the beginning. Almost every other Blendtec blender available has a much greater ability to blend things (and then there's the commercial and industrial blenders - let's not even go there). Yes, it blends!

Looking For Group (Webcomic)Okay, so not a lot of us are into World of Warcraft. Heck, even I hate it. The comic's about a group of horde characters whom all share the common trait of being antiheroes (but not evil, except for one of them). The tauren is thoughtful and wise, the orc is grudgingly the reliable one who often saves everyone else but really just wants to get the job done, the blood elf hunter seems to think that he's a heroic paladin, and the warlock is... well, an evil powermonger who frequently has his identity challenged. Recently, the warlock was beset by an infernal curse that reduced him to being extremely short and extremely un-powerful. In order to restore himself, he had to perform an act of selflessness (he didn't know this). During the siege of a town, he and a small boy were the targets of a large weapon. In an act of depression (more suicidal than anything else), the warlock sought to expend what was left of his life (haha, he's undead to begin with) in order to protect the boy. And so returned the mass-murdering warlock, eager to punish the imp who cursed him. LFG's parent, Blind Ferret Entertainment, has stated an intention to make a series of animations based on the comic. They already made a popular animation called Slaughter the World, in which Richard the undead warlock explains his need to kill every living thing through song (a parody of a certain Little Mermaid ditty). Look it up on YouTube or just click play - it's on the LFG homepage. While it is intended for a young audience, it's not intended for children. There is some cartoonish gore and a lot of disturbing scenes, especially in the animation, but teenagers have seen worse. A dwarf bard was recently added to the cast - she's warped but we're not sure if she's evil yet. A bit violent, perhaps...

Stuff White People Like (Blog)I'd call this PG. In the debut of the Showcase's comedy blog expansion, I yield unto you the Stuff White People Like blog. As you can probably guess, it's about stuff that caucasians enjoy. Events, foods, beverages, lifestyles, hobbies, items, pets, etc. The author makes certain to describe in each entry how the day's subject can be used by non-caucasians to improve relations with white people. For instance, the "Recycling" entry indicates that participating in a recycling program can make white people like you more. While it isn't exactly racist, it is obviously a tongue-in-cheek effort to appear racist yet benevolent. Most of the entries are very "metro" (as we white folk would say) and I would advise that no one use the tips in the blog in a serious way. While it is true that many white Americans threaten to move to Canada periodically, assuming that all white Americans want to move to Canada would be very incorrect. As a white person, I laugh out loud while reading this. I'm sure that if you all want to befriend more white people (as a way to get ahead in life, of course), you'll do the same.

International Earth-Destruction Advisory Board (Miscellaneous)While this isn't a webcomic, a podcast, or a blog, it is very blog-like. And it's very humorous and definitely worth a short doublepost in the showcase. From the site, "The International Earth Destruction Advisory Board (IEDAB) is an independent scientific institution which monitors the current status of the Earth and the number of times it has been destroyed. In the event of the Earth being destroyed it will be the IEDAB's job to relay this information to people who need to know and provide advice on how to proceed." "A 'Green' Earth-Destruction Alert Level (EDA Level) indicates that the Earth has not been destroyed. This is the default EDA Level in peacetime. In the event of the Earth being destroyed, the EDA Level will change to 'Red'." It's very humorous and even if it is scientific (in case aliens get a red reading?), it's still worth laughing at. This is the active EDA reading, updated realtime (glory to PNG files). Be sure to check out the site's other geocide information and articles, and, if it interests you, a documentary/instructional video entitled How to Destroy the Earth (which is noted as being a pilot for a possible series, this video only describes one method).

Erfworld (Webcomic)I'd call this a PG, but it does have some very deep and mature story matter. For those who enjoy tactical wargaming, Gencon, strategy games, or just gaming in general... this comic may be a puzzle. It's a cartoony approach to very deep topics regarding a turn-based strategy game world. The characters are mostly chibi (kawaaaaaiii!!) and even the monsters have cuddly names, while some are even cuddlier... taking the form of popular candy and treats. The fearsome beasts of the land are twolls and dwagons. Yes, dwagons. The major plot items are a series of kingdoms ruled my chibi morons who wield powerful artifacts that just so happen to resemble children's toys. The protagonist is a deep issue to himself. He's an overweight wargamer who had a dead-end job and serious depression. One day, he sits down to game with his buddies and opens up that he's unhappy with his life - that he'd rather live in a turn-based strategy game. As it happens, a monarch of Erfworld is looking for a new warlord. He needs a leader who can outthink the best military commanders, who can arrange an entire world to suit his needs. The spell is cast and suddenly... Lord Hamster, the only human-sized human, appears in Erfworld. Without knowing how to swing a sword, or what the difference between croakamancy and dirtomancy is, or why people bow down to a short guy waving a toy hammer who claims to tame dwagons, our protagonist is forced into the campaign world. It does have a lot of comedy but there's obviously a lot of very rich storytelling. And goofy battle scenes featuring creatures made of marshmellow eating gobwins. And a wizard whose specialty is chamber pots and latrines. If you're a Gencon patron, chances are that Erfworld will appeal to you.

The Gods of Arr'Kelaan (Webcomic)I'd call this a PG, due to alcoholism and cartoon violence. In the not-too-distant future, space tourism becomes a very big business. On the first interstellar cruise, all of the planet's richest people leave Earth for a vacation and a preview of what kind of future humanity is building. During the trip, the captain flips out and abandons his post. Alien pirates attempt to commandeer the vessel. As luck would have it, the massive cruise ship comes apart and crashes on an uncharted planet - Arr'Kelaan. Due to some kind of warp caused by the ship's engine, all of the passengers are encased in crystal and scattered around the planet. Each emerges from their prison at a random time. Among the first to emerge was Ronson, one of Earth's richest men and owner of a brewery empire. His wife died shortly before the cruise but his wife's dying wish was that he would go anyway. Upon waking, he has visions of her... then he meets some of the other passengers and pirates who were onboard the ship. He soon comes to find that he has magic powers, and that the inhabitants of Arr'Kelaan are very primitive - mostly medieval-to-renaissance, in fact. Unfortunately, the new powers come with a price - he is forced to listen to the prayers of the locals and has an insatiable urge to satisfy them. As a depressed widower who just wants to go home to his beer, this is insufferable. It isn't long before he discovers that all of the other passengers have incredible powers as well. Some have carved out reputations as heroes, villains, leaders or moguls. One by one, Ronson either befriends them or topples them in his quest to find the wreckage of the ship so he can go home to his breweries. It isn't long before the new Gods of Arr'Kelaan screw up the native cosmology, meet former gods from Earth who were banished to Arr'Kelaan when the Judeo-Christian "powers" showed up, and build their own City of the Gods (where mortals are allowed to stroll and even establish a living, at their own risk). The comic comes in issues, which are published online in pages. Some issues are not published online but are available for purchase (on the mega-cheap, too!). While the story has a very sci-fi sound, it was intended to explain the origins of Arr-Kelaan's pantheon of bizarre deities, and afterwards becomes more of a philosophical, medieval fantasy. Arr'Kelaan was written as a setting for a role-playing game, and its deities were made to fill some humorous and thoughtful roles. You wouldn't think it would turn out so literary but the end result has been extremely satisfying, not just for gamers but for people who enjoy a good story. Ronson quests for his lost wife (he is a god, after all) and he's, by far, the most popular character. Surprisingly, he originated as a generic god of apathy and alcohol so that Chuck's priest character wouldn't have to constantly placate and pray to get his divine powers and gifts (the rest of the available gods were much more demanding); from Ronson, the other gods and their story sprung forth, and Chuck Rowles established himself as a more-than-capable writer and a very deep guy. Ronson's story fills the most issues but you don't need to have read past issues to understand most of the individual ones. This comic is also unique in that each comic has a unique feel. The first comic was very much a rough-and-tumble adventure while the current issue (Consequences, at the time of this writing) is very emotional, controversial, and full of riddles. So if you like adventures, medieval society and/or combat (oh yes, there's a lot of medieval combat), romance, physics, mysteries or just a good story, you might want to check out Arr'Kelaan. And its gods - just so there's no confusion.

The Misadventures of Hello Cthulhu (Webcomic)I'd call it PG, though an older audience will appreciate references to Lovecraftian literature. Combining two opposing genres in a single work can be difficult, but the author of Hello Cthulhu takes it to the next level by making the result into a webcomic. In short, Cthulhu wakens from his slumber to find himself in the world of Sanyo, where Hello Kitty and her friends live in eternal happiness. The very air of the world is colorful and happy, and subjects like violence and hatred are impossible for the natives to comprehend, much less be subject to (repeated attempts to kill the natives have proven fruitless - even eaten characters never die, remaining in Cthulhu's belly, undigested and happily dancing). Challenged by the impotency of his powers in this world and the fact that his former allies and masters, the Old Ones, have also been subject to Hello Kitty's nightmarish world and its strange laws of physics, Cthulhu seeks to find a way out before he inevitably falls prey to the perpetual happiness of the realm. As Colour pretends to be intoxicated (intoxication is impossible in the world of Sanyo) and Father Dagon runs a fish market, Cthulhu's minions turn against him. But, worst of all, Cthulhu has fallen in love with Hello Kitty. It's on haitus, but it remains standing as one of the most interesting combinations of oriental kawaii styles and pulp horror.

JAPANESE BUG FIGHTS!! (Webcast)Ready - FIGHT! This is quite violent but due to the nature of the material, children are likely to see worse on PBS or reading the National Geographic. Or just watching or reading almost anything else you can find on TV or in magazine form. Short story long, there's a Mortal Kombat-style tournament and all of the contenders are various rare, exotic, vicious and/or "killer" chitinous creatures, from tarantulas to crawdads. Many of the spineless fighters are recognizable - the millipede, the killer bee, the desert scorpion, the praying mantis, but many are rare to the point that even I don't know what they are. I refer to some of them with general descriptions or made-up names (eg. Spider-Pede, Armored Mantis) as a result. Kids might enjoy this venture into entomology, seeing the various abilities of armored crawlers in action, as well as seeing how their weird anatomy functions (and bleeds out). There's 30 episodes. The owner is pitching the concept to TV networks in hopes of a syndicated series. The story goes that the owner, Kyle Benzle, captured a locust in Japan and thought to see it in combat. So he brought it home to Ohio, called up some of his homies in Nippon to produce and edit it, and now we get to see beetles grapple each other until one of them runs out of calories to burn. I won't say who the champion is, probably because the episodes seem to be in an order that is unrelated to the tournament sequence, but you'll find out and you'll be surprised. Looking for surprises? These insects are stupid. Wildly so. The killer bee never even bothers stinging his opponents. The only time things get tactical is when the beetle immediately goes for the scorpion's stinger. But it's great fun anyway, there's special matches, such as a King of the Hill match between two massive beetles of different species, and the waterborne matches with the prawn and the blue shrimp, and each match is very unpredictable. Seeking to capitalize on the excitement? Bring friends to watch the episodes with you and take bets on which insect wins each fight. Replay the intro to get a good look at the contenders, then call for cash. My money says that the bee never stings anything. If you're excited by this kind of savagery, you can film your own bug fight, put it on your webvideo service of choice, send a link in to Kyle Benzle, and he'll post your movie on the website. GHOST SPIDER WINS!![/i]

The Noob Comic (Webcomic)I'd call it G, maybe PG because of some (humorous) emotional moments. Note that the comic is put together by a chick, so even though the main character is a dude, there are many gender-involved jokes. The story begins with a dude buying Clichequest*: Valley of the Grind*, a new MMO put together by Lord Saxon* and his elite* programmers and designers, who are all actually maniacs and lazy morons*. Probably one of the longest lasting jokes is that when building his first character (a human warrior*), the player can't think of a name... and when he shouts "OH FOR F'SAKE!", the game makes that his name (which he has a hard time explaining to people, so he just goes by "Ohforf")*. Of course, it wouldn't be a story about a noob until he meets a veteran with a maxxed character, Sir Bob, who complains that he's being forced to retire and his account is being deactivated... Ohforf asks tentatively, "Can I have your stuff?"* Later, Sir Bob returns, because a new expansion came out and more levels are available*. Of course, he only agrees to play part-time (16 hours a day), because he's busy with college*. I won't explain the whole story, but I will say that Ohforf's best buddy is a chick (in-game and IRL) with a nice rack (that Ohforf keeps staring at), and there's a lot of trouble between roleplayer guilds and PK guilds. Oh, and hackers rule the gameworld. And the GMs are dressed like the KKK. And most of the humor is based on UO (with added herbs and spices, ex. WOW, AC, EO, LOTRO, DAOC, D2, MUDs...). Recently the webcomic's producer mentioned that some of her avid readers are UO staff, and they can't help but comment to her about how true her jokes are about staff screwups and game problems. And drunk bosses who crash the servers. I think the humor is golden and I think that a lot of the generalities are very true (like PKs holding grudges for entire decades against other PKs, even into other games*). The WoW humor is probably going to burn a few of you who like WoW but since I hate WoW with a burning passion... which leaks upward like dungeons that all root at my Molten Core*... I just laugh harder. Even if you're unfamiliar with the humor that relates to other games, there's a lot that's UO-specific, as I said before. There are even UO screenshots occasionally, especially during the game staff story arcs. *: Signifies a joke. You'd probably understand this joke better if you were a true gamer, or if you read the comic.

Kate Beaton (Webcomic)PG for the rare mention of experiences that specifically occur when inebriated, or the pokings at history's greats all being lunatics and obsessed with orgies. Probably the best webcomic producer out of Canada (mind you, the guys behind Blind Ferret Entertainment are a duo, so the collective talent is like... cut in half)... Kate Beaton is of Scottish blood (see: her impression of her ancestors), has a useless (but funny) education in history, and a odd way of writing dialogue that nags at dialect humor. In her mind, Pope John Paul is apparently a pimp, Napoleon had no self esteem, her childhood self is a seperate consciousness that acts as a counter-conscience, and Canada actually has a reason to have patriotic pride (BURN!). Even if you don't understand the history jokes, it's still humorous. Just the picture of Napoleon being caught eating Kate's cookies made me laugh forever. The recent strips are all on the main page or in her livejournal. As they get too old to be on the main page of the site, she moves them into pages organized by topic. If you enjoy history, like I do, the webpages with the history comics will probably reduce you to tearful gutbusted echoes of laughter (for you will utterly die laughing). Though you might enjoy her work, please do not stalk her. She's had quite enough of that! Note that this is a special double-post in the showcase, for two webcomics both made by chicks and both very funny.

Partly because of Fathers' Day and partly because of affirmative action (equality for males! rah rah rah), here's another double-showcase in the triple-W for bachelors, married dudes, and males all around. Bigger Than Cheeses (Webcomic)PG, with some PG-13 on occasion in addition to vague adult jokes. Straight outta Oz, from the mouth of some kind of Australiasian guy, is the story of Thanatos. Thanatos debates Batman's abilities, has the girlfriend that lives in most bachelors' dreams, and has some zany friends. They include a testosterone junkie who can crush beer kegs with his head, a guy with no mouth yet talks much more intelligently than Thanatos (except to his overbearing wife), and a robot. There's actually a lot more zany friends, some of which are satires on popular movies and animes, but Goon made a webpage defining all of them so I don't have to. One of the more admirable qualities about BTC is that the creator is so amiable to other webcomics. He often goes to other artists for permission to satire their work, or to do crossovers. If you read a lot of webcomics, especially if you live in Oz, you'll probably recognize a lot of them immediately. If you don't care for the humorous antics or the satire or the fact that Goon successfully satirizes nearly everything on the internet, from new fads to unusual websites to irc humor to superheroes to movies to videogames to Oz-US relations to popular web-art, then you should appreciate the story. The truth is that Thanatos was born in a barn and raised by his scot father who taught him that women (or "wombles") are essentially Predators and this hardcoded childhood has made Thanatos' life a mess of misunderstandings and often looked-over wisdom (see: the time Thanatos taught Duke that he could be invisible to his wife when he puts mud all over himself). Yes, yes, quite highbrow, this story is. Whenever Goonigoogoo (the artist) posts a strip, or a dozen, he also has an update of his irc humor column, which can be read along with the comic in the archives, and his news posts (updated with each strip) have links to odd things he finds on the internet (the last one was the Talking Jesus Doll, a real product, toy, and sin of idolatry all in one).
