He's got a number of recurring strips (some of which are political), but Tom the Dancing Bug's Super-Fun-Pak Comix are loaded with this type of humor.

Oh oh oh got reminded of this one in the Joke thread

So a Buddhist walks up to a hot dog vendor, and says "Make me one with tofu, I'm a vegetarian."

[jonts26]

There are two types of people in the world: those who think this would make a good anti-joke and those who don't.

[WalrusMcFishSr]

What do you get when you mix a joke and an anti-joke?

Two photons

[silverspawn]

How do you avoid the luck factor of rebuild?

you dont play with it

[Axxle]

There are a lot of types of people in this world.

Not all of them are that great, but there are some decent ones. Just have to wade through the others.

[jonts26]

I've become irrationally angry at those types of headlines. #12 is gold? Really? Because it looks pretty white on my screen.

Not all of them are even anti-jokes. Some of them are just jokes.

That came across my FB today, and I refused to click on it because of the headline.  As I will here.

No click for you, Tickld!  (ABP means you wouldn't have gotten ad revenue anyway)

A link to a joke page comes across Kirian's Facebook feed...

Kirian decides not to click it.

An even worse headline has the format:
[Some sentence]. What happens next is [some adjective].

Just $@*&*%# tell me what happens next. Gosh.

Examining the tautology. What happens next is happening next.

"Viral" clickbait is perhaps the worst thing invented in the last few years.

He said it all, man. He said it all. I even read the first few lines of that "This man is dating even though he's married" article. It's like this xkcd:

I think I was lucky enough to not click through to that bait, though I got the general gist.

Amusingly, it was posted around the same time that another FB friend who is poly was talking about his wife and his girlfriend and how well they got along.

When you think about it, it's more shocking that the article wasn't about polygamy. I know that polygamy exists. I didn't know that I was going to be misled for pointless reasons.

[jotheonah]

the one that really bugs me is the "You've been doing X wrong your whole life"

I'm like F you Buzzfeed, the banana ends up in my stomach so I think I'm doing it fine. And why you gotta make it so personal? Why not say "Hey, here's a neat new way to eat a banana!"

[Witherweaver]

The thing I can't stand is when you have to click on a new page to read the next item of the list.

It's a list.  List them all on one page, asshole.

[jotheonah]

I am guilty of making those for work. Unfortunately, there is no better way to get the same number of pageviews as you get from the slideshow. And you can say "write better stories." But when you look at the numbers, which is all advertisers care about, the shittiest slideshow gets you more clicks than the best article. It is very frustrating for the writer too.

[Witherweaver]

Well, I know it's to get more  clicks, but I don't want to click!  I want to just read some random stuff.  I don't want a pageload after every sentence.

My wife says the same thing when I tell her she's peeling it wrong

[Robz888]

Yeah, it's really awful to make you click more stuff so we can get paid, poor you.
