Let’s be real—sometimes we all need a break from the serious stuff. Enter: humor blogs. Whether you’re into witty observations, absurd satire, pop culture roasts, or painfully relatable life stories, there’s a humor blog out there that’ll hit just right.
In this post, we’re diving into the world of funny blogs—what makes them great, what kinds of content you’ll find, and how to find your next go-to source for a good laugh.
What Makes a Humor Blog, Well… Funny?
At its core, a humor blog is a digital space where someone (or sometimes a whole team of writers) shares content designed to make you laugh. That can be in the form of stories, rants, fake news, memes, comics, or even personal diary-style posts where the writer turns everyday struggles into comedy gold.
Great humor blogs have a strong voice—think of someone with good timing, self-awareness, and maybe just a little bit of chaos energy. The best part? They often feel like you’re reading something a hilarious friend sent you at 2 am. Everyone has unique tastes, and this thread shows the diverse range of senses of humor that people have.

Types of Humor Content You’ll Find
Humor blogs aren’t one-size-fits-all. Here’s a quick breakdown of the kinds of funny content you might find:
- Observational Humor – Pointing out the weird, ridiculous, or oddly specific parts of everyday life (think: Seinfeld in blog form).
- Satire and Parody – Fake news or exaggerated commentary on real-life events, politics, or pop culture (sites like The Onion are the gold standard here).
- Personal Stories – Bloggers who turn awkward moments, parenting fails, or dating disasters into comedic gold.
- Lists and Rants – “10 Things That Happen Every Time You Go to Target” or “An Open Letter to My Lost Sock”—pure relatable fun.
- Niche Humor – Super specific blogs that are hilarious to a particular crowd (like awkward work emails, grammar fails, or oddly passionate food critiques).
- Comics and Visual Humor – Some blogs pair clever captions with illustrations or memes for a visual punchline.

How to Find the Best Humor Blogs (Without Falling Into a Meme Hole)

Here are a few ways to start your search:

Check Reddit threads – Subs like r/funny, r/Blogsnark, or even r/writing have blog recs floating around.

Ask around – Seriously. A “What’s the funniest blog you’ve ever read?” question on social media can lead to some gems.
Start with classics – Some long-time legends include McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Hyperbole and a Half, and The Onion.
Follow comedy writers on Twitter/X or Threads – Many of them run their own blogs or newsletters. Take this page for instance, it only retweets the posts by the best comedians.
The Last Laugh
Humor blogs are more than just entertainment—they’re a reminder that there’s always something to laugh about, even when the world feels upside down. Whether you’re reading one or thinking of starting your own, the key is the same: be yourself, find your funny, and share it.
And if you are starting one… can you please write about that time you accidentally replied-all to your boss’s email? We’re all dying to hear it.
