WTFis got a solid review from our reviewers. Some folks weren't terribly keen on the author's liberal use of profanity, but it doesn't seem to have hurt his too badly. The consensus seemed to be that the writer (I can't seem to figure out what his name is) comes across more like a standup comic than a humor writer. Whether this is good or bad, I'm not sure.

Percentile Rank: 72 Some quotes from the reviewers:
How do you make choosing kitty treats so damn funny? I loved it!
Well written. Could do without the swearing, as it adds nothing to the humor of his pieces, but a worthwhile stop in the blogosphere for some darker humor.
There's some serious "funny" here, and i actually laughed out loud on more than one occasion. That said, as long as the template is black and the content is in that freaking shade of brilliant white, I won't be reading it on a regular basis, because, really... do I NEED new reading glasses? I do not.
If you like being annoyed visually and mentally this is for you.
Comments, not so much entries or posts, so it's a better description are 'shock humour'
Made me laugh, which most can't. A little scatological, but these days, with everyone fearing being censored, it's a nice change of pace.
Some of the stories could be funny if a multitude of swears weren't used as a means of being funny. Swearing doesn't usually equal funny. There's potential but I think a reformatting of the way the stories are told is in order for it to be really funny. A couple of the quick little blurbs were quite funny, especially the one about pregnancy. The one about Sudafed could have been really funny if words other than swears were used in an attempt to make it funny. It almost seems that the writer does stand-up, or wants to but considering you can't use body language in writing, the formats need to be changed to tailor to that. I liked the layout of the site; very aesthetically pleasing.
The make-up sex post was fantastic but the rest of it was just gross. If you are going to talk about your masturbation habits you better have a really great post to back it up. He didn't. I enjoyed his link list though - some good sites there.
While I do enjoy a well placed f-bomb, there seems to be a lot of unnecessary cursing and vulgarity going on in this blog. Frankly, blogs with black templates and white text that feature people ranting and cursing about trips to Duane Reade and Debbie Gibson went out of style years ago. There's a lot of anger & sexual frustration going on here and frankly, none of it is particularly funny. Unless you're a huge Dennis Miller fan, avoid this blog like the plague.
This blog is taken up by mostly very short posts interspersed occasionally with much larger ones. A lot of interesting humour, mostly complaining about everyday events and such.
The writing definitely is made up of a unique and likable style. Humour is a little weak, but the delivery is great.
I have a bit of a bias against humor writers who use a lot of profanity myself, because it seems like a crutch to me. But hey, sometimes there's no substitute for a well placed f-bomb. I'm actually surprised more reviewers didn't complain about the template; maybe black is back in again? Or maybe people are just sick of saying the same thing every time. But of course, those are just quibbles anyway; the important thing is that WTFis delivers the goods.
Nice work, Mr. WTFis.
