Don’t Even Reply
Here is a blog that will make you laugh at all the trolling that the author has done to random Craigslist ad owners. The creator basically chooses a Craigslist ad and replies to the person that posted it trolling to the point that of course, the ad poster will be understandably ticked off. The magic lies on the imagination of the blogger, who has even released a book with some of these hilarious conversations between him and the Craigslist ad owner.
Since the conversation involves ridiculous trolling, the conversations will often contain profanity, so you’ve been warned. Here’s one conversation where at least no profanity is used.
One of the first ones that I read that I really liked was titled Comanche Quest, which I assure you will be pretty funny, though you can’t help but feel bad for the Craigslist ad owner.

I love that there is still an interest in text-based humour. As a retired newspaper editor, I have more than 1,000 published stories, mostly humorous, which I am reworking and offering on two blogs - lifetimesentences.com and jimhagarty.com. I have won numerous awards for my writing. Sorry to be self-serving, but my aim is to be read by as many people as possible.
Very nice. thank you for sharing

Have you tried Twisted DNA (http://www.twisted-dna.com/about/).
The guy is kinda inactive these days. Nevertheless, worth going through the archives.
Sample: http://www.twisted-dna.com/2009/05/29/at-the-receivers-end/
Wow, that's a new one for me. I just read 3 posts from this blog and they were incredibly amusing! Thanks for the recommendation!
You may also visit http://www.onlygags.com/
It is a new website which contains selected best funny pictures..
I think it is quite entertaining too.
try it!! http://www.onlygags.com/
Well, the point of this post was to highlight comedic sites that are all text-based, simply because I feel like photoblogs are more widespread. Your suggestion is mostly a photoblog (reminds me of 9gag), but is appreciated nevertheless. :)
Oh! My F** ** ROF. Tears are out of my eyes. That was awesome. :D LOL. Thanks Man.
sorry. you're female :)
Definitely check out the listed blogs! More hilarious stories are just a click away. :)
Yes, I've checked them. Other sites contain romantic type comedies but that dontevenreply I really liked. That is my Fav. :)
Dontevenreply is the most trollish one!
These were funny. Another one I've stumbled across is: fakeit2makeit.com
Hmm, I don't quite understand the angle of fakeit2makeit. The stories seem outrageous, just like the ones from the blogs I listed, but fakeit2makeit focuses on cheating stories, is that right?
Anyhow, thanks for checking the article out and taking the time to give out a suggestion!
plus "Clients From Hell" quiet entertaining blog. http://clientsfromhell.net/
Not my blog I'm just saying as an addition to these 3 hilarious blogs
I absolutely think Clients From Hell is hilarious! I just didn't mention it here because it's been reviewed by Justin already. //www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-hilarious-sites-freelancer-check/
I do recommend the site though. Thanks for the suggestion!
