Percentile Rank: 29Some quotes from our reviewers:
I was annoyed by the constant references to Splotchy - who is that? Some posts were very amusing, I like this guy's attitude - but some posts made little or no sense.
Most of the posts made me laugh out loud. Others, like the Wednesday 15 didn't do much for me, but overall I liked the blog and would definitely go back.
There is some quality stuff on here. Too many of the posts weren't meant to be funny (Top songs, etc.) to really qualify as a highly ranked humor-blog, but the funny posts were pretty amusing. I LOVE the official blog seal on the left sidebar. To many "F" words for me to be able to read it regularly at work.
No need to change anything, it's really funny!
I'll be keeping an eye on this blog for a while. Although not every post is a gem; there's good stuff in thar blog posts!
There were "moments" of funny here, but not enough to bring me back. The best posts were those in which I was "hearing" his voice, instead of his imitation of a few other posts by *other* bloggers I've read in recent months.
It is always a bad sign when you arrive at a blog with the most-overused template ever and a picture of a child with demon-like snot running down from their nose. As promised, I found nothing original or really funny. This is also the first time I have ever reviewed two blogs that had the same viral video in a post.
The brand of humor here is calling a movie 'gay' and calling Carl Rove an 'ass-bag'. It was .... erm... hardly creative. I mean Carl Rove has given us a plethora of opportunities for humor. So, no, the content was just dumb, not funny. The layout was a standard blogger theme that 2890380942 other people have. I didn't like it at all... the commentary sounded like it was written by Beavis and Butthead.
Not a bad score, but this blog could be improved a lot by sprucing up the template a bit, trying to be a little more original, and possibly toning down the profanity. And if the blogger really wants this to be known as a "humor blog," he should focus more on producing humorous posts rather than lists, videos and other filler.
