Web Animation

Be warned that these sites require a fast connection to be enjoyable.

• APOCAMON: THE FINAL JUDGEMENT - What can I say: Revelations meet anime.  What's not to like?
• iWon - Mondo Mini Shows - Gallery Page - I like "This Modern Workd" best, but there are other gems, like "Where's Osama Bin Hidin'."
• Othervision - several of the episodes offered look like pilots for series that might take off - or not.
• Trailervision - Trailers for movies that don't exist and spoof movie trailers.
• Pulp Phantom - Pulp Fiction meets the Star Wars saga...
• synj industries, inc. Ridiculously good stuff. - games and animations
• Newgrounds.com - The Problems of the Future, Today! - home of the Assassin game.  Not for anyone who insists on good taste.
• Cartoon Network: Toonami | Alliance - animations are found under the "Reactor" section.  Mostly playbacks of TV-based anime series.
• Broken Saints - a 24-part series, 14 episodes of which are available at the time of this writing..Not a funny, but I didn't have any other area to stuff the link in.

Weirdo Links

(links last updated and checked April 4, 2002)

• Toys from Archie McPhee Online - Hey, tired of looking for that perfect gift?  You're sure to find something here!
• Spoof Ads from AdBusters.  It's not just funny, it's social activism!  Who says you can't mix business with pleasure? %}
• HyperDiscordia, Confusion for a New Generation .  WARNING: This one is really strange.  I recommend small doses at a time.
• RoadKill Cafe's Best of the Web - Largely a (very well done) clearinghouse or junction for access to an incredible variety of Web sites.  Most of them are excellent, but the combination of "Redneck Etiquette", "Cajun Recipe Page", and UFO links has a distinctly dada feel.
• The Dialectizer - Translate any page into Redneck, Hacker, Jive, or one of several other dialects.
• BBC Online: h2g2 - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Interactive!  Founded by the recently departed, bitterly lamented Douglas Adams.
• SatireWire | dot.com.edy - Absolutely, positively hilarious
• The Onion | America's Finest News Source - Therapeutic as well!
