A website which used to be funny, but now only attracts people with poor social skills and a limited abillity to interact with other people. (See also: goon.)

Most of the creativity has been sucked out of Something Awful by the repetitive use of lame catchphrases and wanksters who vandalize message boards and forums. This is why Something Awful has deservedly gained a reputation for being a haven for pathetic little shitstains and lamers.

A funny site that obviously inspires quite a bit of hatred among those who were banned from it for being utter fucktards

Something Awful is a sort of "hub" of the special brand of humor unique to the Internet. The target audience is males between the ages of 13 and 25.

Concerning the public areas of Something Awful: People typically either really love or really hate Something Awful. Reading the articles may lead you to notice a sort of formulaic writing style that pervades them. It's almost as if Lowtax created a Mad Libs sheet that has been declared the proper format for all articles until the end of time. This does not prevent some of them from being humorous, however, much of it is quite tired.

Concerning the forums, Something Awful initiates for all new forum members what can be percieved as a strange form of Internet hazing. While one might see this as entirely negative, it has a practical application. Via this "e-hazing" SAF creates and propagates an unusually strict social code which all goons must abide by lest they face ostracization by other users and perhaps even harassment by moderators, a phenomenon not typically seen on forums. The positive side of this forum management method is that the inevitable degradation of forum quality, while present, is dramatically slowed and even controlled to some extent. The negative qualities of this style of forum management are that the forum is full of unthinking sycophants and that while forum quality may not drop as rapid...

A horrible website which has become down-trodden and has lost most of it's originality. In a world where everything is too played out, this site is no exception. It also requires money for membership, which is gay, and most people on there run around thinking that every other website is of lower value and ultimately sucks b/c it is not SA. SA sucks, and hasn't been good for many years. It's a shame, but brutal honesety.

Enemy of Ebaumsworld.

A popular humor site that's mildly amusing at times, but is more often either retarded and incomprehensible or just tastless, callous, and mean-spirited.

An asinine web forum for people who think 80,000+ people getting killed by a tsunami in Sri Lanka is Comedy Gold. They like to post oh-so-HILARIOUS Photoshopped pictures of people getting drowned by tidal waves.

Ha ha ha. I cannot contain my laughter.

Of course, it's not so funny when some pathetic goon's relatives died. Then they offer lame "goondolences" and shit.
