The Friday Funny: The Onion

The OnionRight, Friday is here again and you can hear the sighs of relief spreading across the UK so we thought we’d let you know about a website that keeps us laughing and may help you get through Friday Afternoon.

The Onion is basically a satirical site that pokes fun at anything or anyone in the media. It’s fairly office safe so no need to worry about getting into trouble (don’t blame us if you do !!)

Take a look at The Onion

Engrish can be funny also

Here is a quick website to add to the Friday fun list that has had us giggling in the office for the past couple of days. As any World traveller will tell you no matter what country you are in you will see signs in English (or what the locals think is English!!).

Engrish is Funny is a great site with pictures and videos of all those mistakes you hear about but can’t believe are actually true. Take a flick through the site there are some great pictures !!!!

We’d love to know of any other websites like this that point out the terrible mistakes English speakers make in other languages.

Friday Fun: Annoy the office

The World Cup is over for another four years but we now hear that South Africa wants to host the Olympics as they did such a great job. That’s why when we stumbled across this site we thought we had to give it a quick website review.

Not really a website this is a quick online game for all those football fans with an evil streak – http://bartbonte.com/vuvuzela/ – give it a go and see how long your office can last – we managed about ten seconds before someone threw something across the office.

We hope you enjoy the What’s Good On The Web Reviews – please let us know if you have any other sites that you want us to tell our readers about.

Friday Fun: At least it’s not my mistake ……

From council officials to advertising executives some people make the most monumental mistakes so we thought readers of WhatsGoodOnTheWeb would get a kick out of this little website.

Mainly featuring articles from the news The Fail Blog helps point out all those stupid mistakes that people seem to keep making. In fact although we may laugh there are plenty of mistakes made over here, just read this BBC Article from 2008.

Friday Fun: The news …. but not as we know it

Let’s be honest with each other the news can be a bit depressing sometimes and we all want to escape the daily boredom. That’s why we thought we’d put together a quick review of The Daily Mash – a satirical news site that puts a glimmer of humour in even the most mundane news items.

The site has been around for a few years now and has quite a following especially when it takes the odd swipe at a celebrity or politician (OK nearly all the time). Very much like Private Eye they make up news just for the pure fun and we really like it although I’m not sure the people featured in the site see it that way !!!

We’ve put this as one of our Top Rated sites for July, it’s very funny to read and really does help pass the time. If you want a Friday laugh visit The Daily Mash.

Are you fed up of doing someone else’s work?

Let Me Google That For You is not exactly a new site. In fact it has been around for quite some time, but here at WhatsGoodOnTheWeb we like to let our readers know about some of the sites they may of missed.

This site is the perfect revenge for anyone who is fed up of those lazy people in the office who always ask a question that they know you will have to search for on Google and they could of just done it for themselves.

The site is very simple to use, simply go to http://lmgtfy.com/ , enter the search term and the site will automatically generate a Tinyurl link for you that you can send to the person who asked the question. When they enter the URL into their web browser it goes through an animated process of searching Google to give them a list of results …. sarcasm at its best.

Here is our link to try it out http://tinyurl.com/2e2velo .

BE WARNED: Some bosses may not find this very funny even if you do.
