Funny Animation

Multimedia authoring programs like Adobe Flash have opened up the world of animation so that anyone with a computer can now create their own cartoons and post them for the entire world to see. As a result, a unique humor sensibility has surged in popularity on the Internet: silly cartoons that are clever, absurd, and often a little more random than the mainstream fare found on television.
