Sometimes you’ve got to take a step back and look at your URL with fresh eyes.
When I come up with an idea for a list, I generally check on Google to make sure either (1) no one’s done the list before or (2) if someone’s done it, they’ve done a mediocre job.
This list falls squarely under number two. I’m not the first person to do a list of the most unintentionally hilarious URLs. There’s already one so-so list out there. And that list was Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V’ed on no fewer than 500 other websites.
You know that line in Fight Club where Ed Norton says that “everything’s a copy of a copy of a copy”? Well the list of unintentionally funny domain names, originally done by Independent Sources in 2006, takes that aforementioned simulacrum to a new level.
On one hand, I feel sorry that they were plagiarized so frequently. On the other hand, I feel even sorrier that their list, which now contains many broken URLs, is the one that holds the “funny domain name” mantle.
So today, I have 11 unintentionally funny website names that will, hopefully, let people know that there’s more out there than Penisland.net (which, by the way, is an intentionally funny parody site).
