Pile #1 · Funny

Funny websites to play, send to friends and waste time on

The best funny websites understand timing. You open the page, you get the joke almost immediately, and then you stay far longer than the joke deserves. Slapping a patient man with an eel. Typing gibberish and looking like a film hacker. Listening for a cow that is somewhere on your screen.

They also make good links to send to friends: no sign-up, no download, just a URL and a confused reply. Everything in this pile is safe for a work break, although a couple are loud. Sites with audio carry a warning label so you can mute first.

  1. Homestar Runner

    LEGENDARY

    💾 Old Internetest. 2000

    The legendary cartoon website. Still posting.

    A web cartoon series that defined early internet humour, with Strong Bad emails, strange characters and inside jokes that a generation still quotes. It never really went away.

  2. Nyan Cat

    LEGENDARY

    💾 Old Internetest. 2011

    A pop-tart cat flies through space. A timer counts how long you last.

    The famous rainbow-trailing cat, looping forever with its song, while a counter proudly tracks how many seconds you have spent watching. People have spent hours.

  3. The Password Game

    LEGENDARY

    😂 Funnyest. 2023

    Choose a password. The rules get absurd.

    By Neal Agarwal. Every time you satisfy a password rule, a new, more ridiculous one appears. Include a number, then a sponsor, then something alive. It is a parody of every sign-up form you have hated.

  4. I’m a Ninja

    RARE RELIC

    😂 Funny

    There is text on this page. You cannot see it. Stealth.

    A pitch-black page with a short message written in black text. It is invisible unless you select it. Very on brand.

  5. 😂 Funny

    Prove you are human. Level after absurd level.

    By Neal Agarwal. It begins with the familiar checkbox and turns into a string of increasingly unreasonable human-verification challenges. You may start to doubt yourself.

  6. Infinite Craft

    RARE RELIC

    🌀 Weirdest. 2024

    Start with water, fire, wind and earth. Combine until nonsense.

    By Neal Agarwal. Drag two elements together to create a new one. Four starting items become volcanoes, celebrities, memes and concepts nobody should be able to craft. It genuinely never ends.

  7. Pointer Pointer

    RARE RELIC

    🌀 Weirdest. 2012

    Move your cursor. Somewhere, someone is pointing at it.

    Hold your mouse still and the page digs up a photo of a real person pointing exactly where your cursor is. There is no score and no ending. You just get pointed at, again and again, by strangers.

  8. 😂 Funnyest. 2022

    The famous ethics dilemma, escalating level by level.

    By Neal Agarwal. It starts with the classic choice: pull the lever or do nothing. Each level adds something more ridiculous to the tracks, and at the end you see how your choices compare to everyone else’s.

  9. 💾 Old Internet

    An archive of Flash-era animations, games and oddities.

    One of the long-running homes of internet animations, silly games and music from the Flash era. You can even switch the site theme back to how it looked in 2001.

  10. 💀 WTF

    Real book covers that should not exist, but do.

    A collection of genuinely published books with titles and covers that raise more questions than they answer. Cat gun safety manuals are only the beginning.

  11. 🗑 Pointless

    Competitive checkbox ticking. Go for gold.

    A series of timed events where the only sport is clicking checkboxes as fast and precisely as you can. It gets more intense than it has any right to.

  12. 🗑 Pointless

    Draw a circle. Get a percentage. Try again forever.

    By Neal Agarwal. Draw a circle around a dot and the page scores how perfect it is. You will get close. You will not get a hundred. You will try again.

  13. Eel Slap

    UNCOMMON

    💀 WTF

    Slap a man with an eel by moving your mouse.

    A patient man stands in front of a camera. Drag your mouse and he gets slapped with an eel, in slow motion, at whatever speed you choose. He has presumably made peace with this.

  14. 😂 Funny

    Hunt an invisible cow using only sound.

    Somewhere on the screen there is a cow you cannot see. Move your cursor and a voice gets louder as you get closer. When you find it, it lets you know.

  15. 😂 Funny

    A walrus. A bucket. A tragedy in two panels.

    The classic meme of a walrus proudly holding a bucket, followed by the moment someone takes it away. The whole domain exists to preserve that emotional journey.

  16. InspiroBot

    UNCOMMON

    💀 WTF

    An AI that makes inspirational quotes. They are not inspiring.

    Press a button and an artificial intelligence generates a motivational poster with a scenic photo and a quote. The quotes range from mildly odd to deeply unsettling.

  17. 🗑 Pointless

    Hover over circles until they split into a koala.

    Start with one big circle. Brush it with your cursor and it splits into four. Keep going until the circles resolve into a picture of a koala. Extremely satisfying, extremely pointless.

  18. Paper Toilet

    UNCOMMON

    🗑 Pointlessest. 2006

    A roll of toilet paper you can unroll.

    A single toilet roll on a black background, by Rafaël Rozendaal. Grab the paper and pull. It keeps going for longer than you would expect.

  19. r33b.net

    UNCOMMON

    🌀 Weird

    All glory to a very hypnotic toad.

    A tribute page to a famous cartoon toad with spinning eyes. Stare at it and you will understand. Or you will not. Either way, all glory.

  20. 😂 Funny

    Blow a billionaire’s fortune on burgers, yachts and sports teams.

    You get an absurd budget and a shopping list that goes from a Big Mac to a cruise ship. Spending it all turns out to be weirdly difficult. The receipt at the end is its own punchline.

  21. 💀 WTF

    Click for stimulation. Buy upgrades. Lose your mind.

    By Neal Agarwal. A clicker game where every click earns stimulation, and every upgrade adds another screen full of noise, notifications and videos until the page is overwhelming.

  22. 🌀 Weird

    The official homepage of a salmon. Thanks for visiting.

    A very formal homepage for a fish, complete with a polite thank-you and a contact address for serious inquiries. We are not sure what a serious inquiry would be.

  23. 🌀 Weird

    Random real products that should not exist, but you can buy them.

    Every visit pulls up a strange product from a real online store. Novelty tools, questionable gadgets, objects without a clear reason to live. Someone manufactured every one of them.

  24. ❓ ??????Made in the junkyard

    Confident. Fast. Wrong.

    Type a sum. Receive an answer delivered with total confidence and zero accuracy. The same question always gets the same wrong answer, so at least it is consistent.

  25. Bongo Cat

    COMMON JUNK

    😂 Funny

    A meme cat plays instruments when you press keys.

    The famous drumming cat meme, turned into an instrument. Keys play bongos, cymbals, cowbell, piano and more, with the cat slapping along every time.

  26. Build Shruggie

    COMMON JUNK

    🗑 Pointless

    Assemble the shrug emoticon from loose parts.

    The pieces of the famous text shrug are scattered across the page. Drag them into place. When everything lines up, you have built a shrug. Congratulations, or whatever.

  27. 😂 Funny

    Click to make money rain. That is the whole thing.

    Every click showers the screen with cash while music plays. No goals, no scoreboard, no actual money. Pure, loud, fake wealth.

  28. 😂 Funny

    Content-free. Share-maximised.

    The page has almost nothing on it except its own insistence that it must be shared. It is a satire of virality that has outlived the platform it was mocking.

  29. Cat Bounce

    COMMON JUNK

    😂 Funny

    Cats. Bouncing. You are allowed to throw them.

    Cartoon cats ricochet around your browser window and you can grab and fling them. There is also a button that makes it rain cats. That is the entire feature list.

  30. Checkbox Race

    COMMON JUNK

    🗑 Pointless

    Tick 100 checkboxes as fast as you can.

    A stopwatch and one hundred checkboxes. Check the first one and the race begins. It is the most competitive form of form-filling ever invented.

  31. Corgi Orgy

    COMMON JUNK

    💀 WTF

    A wall of bouncing corgis with a soundtrack.

    Rows and rows of identical corgis bounce in unison across the screen while music plays. The name is louder than the content, which is just a lot of happy dogs.

  32. Cornify

    COMMON JUNK

    😂 Funny

    Unicorns and rainbows, on demand.

    A self-described number one unicorn and rainbow service. Add sparkly unicorns to your screen, your photos or other people’s websites. It is aggressively cheerful.

  33. 😂 Funny

    A random excuse for why the code is broken.

    Refresh for a fresh excuse to give your manager. Each one sounds like something a real programmer has said, and none of them are the programmer’s fault.

  34. Draw a Fish

    COMMON JUNK

    😂 Funny

    Draw a fish. It swims in a tank with everyone else’s.

    Sketch a fish, however badly, and release it into a shared online tank full of other people’s drawings. Vote on the best ones. Judge the worst ones silently.

  35. Every Day I’m

    COMMON JUNK

    😂 Funny

    Finishes one very famous lyric. Every day.

    The page starts a line everyone knows and completes it for you, with total commitment. It is a motivational poster for people who shuffle.

  36. FakeUpdate

    COMMON JUNK

    😂 Funny

    Full-screen fake system update screens. For pranks.

    Pick an operating system, go full screen and walk away. Anyone who sits down will think the computer is installing an update that never ends.

  37. GeekTyper

    COMMON JUNK

    😂 Funny

    Hacker movie screens with themes. Press any key.

    Mash your keyboard and convincing code pours out, surrounded by fake alerts, maps and progress bars. It has dozens of themes, so you can look busy in several fictional universes.

  38. Hacker Typer

    COMMON JUNK

    😂 Funnyest. 2011

    Mash your keyboard. Look like a movie hacker.

    Any key you press prints real-looking source code onto a black screen at hacker-movie speed. Useful for impressing people who cannot read code and nobody else.

  39. 😂 Funny

    A very long question. A very short answer.

    The domain asks whether a giant particle accelerator has ended the world. The page answers in one word. It has been reassuringly correct so far.

  40. Heeeeeeeey

    COMMON JUNK

    😂 Funny

    Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey.

    A website that says one word. It commits to that word far longer than anyone asked it to. Turn your sound on, or don’t. It will not change the outcome.

  41. I Am Awesome

    COMMON JUNK

    🗑 Pointless

    A whole domain dedicated to confirming one fact.

    The page contains two words of plain text and nothing else. No styling, no images, no second opinion. Someone registered a domain to state a fact and then left.

  42. Is It Christmas?

    COMMON JUNK

    🗑 Pointless

    Answers exactly one question. Usually: no.

    The page shows a single word answering whether today is Christmas. The answer is localised to your language. For 364 days a year the answer is a very confident no.

  43. 😂 Funny

    A screaming frog tells you if it is Wednesday.

    The meme, turned into a calendar service. A very expressive frog lets you know whether today is the day. Six days a week, it is disappointed.

  44. 🗑 Pointless

    You loaded the page. It has an answer.

    A service for checking whether your computer is switched on. If you can read the answer, the answer is correct. It has never been wrong.

  45. 😂 Funny

    Generates your next startup pitch.

    Refresh and it combines a random business model with a random audience into a startup idea. Some are terrible. Some have probably raised money.

  46. 🌀 Weird

    Scroll the doge. The doge is long.

    A meme dog whose body keeps stretching as you scroll. The challenge is to reach the end. The doge has other plans.

  47. 😂 Funny

    Minesweeper, but the board is one square.

    The classic puzzle game with every unnecessary square removed. You have one decision to make. Choose wisely, or at least quickly.

  48. 😂 Funny

    Type a password. Get judged for it.

    A password box that reads what you type and responds with increasingly personal disappointment. It does not protect anything. It just has opinions about your choices.

  49. Pug in a Rug

    COMMON JUNK

    🗑 Pointless

    A pug. In a rug. Spinning.

    There is a pug and it is wrapped in a rug and that is all the information available. Some websites do one thing. This one does less.

  50. Quick, Draw!

    COMMON JUNK

    😂 Funny

    Doodle against the clock while a neural network guesses.

    You get a word and twenty seconds to draw it, while a machine learning model narrates its guesses out loud. It is humbling to be out-guessed by a computer about your own cat.

  51. 😂 Funny

    A developer’s question, answered with confidence.

    For programmers whose code works on one machine but not another. The page gives its answer instantly, with a small footnote that makes it even more correct.

  52. 🗑 Pointless

    One snowman character. For you specifically.

    A single enormous snowman symbol from the Unicode character set, presented as a gift. It is available all year round, which is more than real snowmen can say.

  53. What The Commit

    COMMON JUNK

    😂 Funny

    A random, deeply honest commit message.

    Every refresh gives you a new version control message of the kind programmers write at 2am. Some are confessions, some are apologies and some are just a single swear word.
