Most of these (I visited the link) are very unfunny (where's
the humour?)

photoshop phriday hasn't been good for a while.

the best one was the first or second one; old sci-fi covers.

I agree with Xammax that most of these are just
unnecesseary; I mean it it wasn't funny to begin with - why
make it?
planning is winning time is winning (period).

Some of something awful is great such as this hilarious and
witty excerpt:

The dame sidled into my office, stirring me from my routine
post-breakfast nap. This struck me as strange for two
reasons: 1. No one sidles anymore. I mean, come on. 2. My
"office" was actually just the bedroom in my house. Yet
there she was, five feet and ten inches of pure woman held
together by a flexible layer of skin. Oh sure, there were
probably muscles and veins somewhere in there too, but I'm
being figurative here. This woman was so hot, she'd make an
entire tray of ice cubes melt by mistakenly leaving them on
the counter overnight.

After waving her into the room noncommittally, I tossed back
a shotglass full of scotch, immediately regretting the
decision as it shattered on the wall behind me. Damn, I
needed to stop taking my inner dialogue literally. I made a
mental note to have my secretary write that down for me
later, and then it hit me: I had no secretary. I'd have to
write down a memo later, reminding myself to hire a
secretary so that she, in turn, could remind me to stop
taking my inner dialogue literally. This was already shaping
up to be one rotten day. Deciding that I needed something to
steel my nerves, I poured myself some more scotch (this time
in a coffee cup), and tossed it over my shoulder. This time
the cup rebounded off the wall without breaking, and I
flashed a proud grin at my soon-to-be client, tapping an
index finger against my forehead to illustrate the
impressive brains within.

She leaned forward and planted her hands on my desk,
showcasing a pair of breasts so beautiful that they could
only be described as "breastish". They were like two
perfectly round bowling balls, only they weighed less and
didn't have holes... that I could see. Being an
investigator, I had to find out. I casually plunged my head
into her cleavage and made frantic swimming motions as I
ogled down her blouse. She immediately slapped me with the
strength of ten really weak sailors, and I sat back, rubbing
my jaw and weep

weeping only a little bit. "Big boys don't cry", I thought
to myself while tossing back the entire bottle of scotch,
"big boys don't cry". I hadn't been able to spot any holes
during my expedition, but her reaction indicated that she
was hiding something in there. I reached out with both hands
to see what it was for myself, but she slapped me once more.
Something was definitely fishy all right, but it would have
to wait. There was business at hand.

"Before we get started," I began, "is anyone that's involved
with the case in any way whatsoever a butler?"

"What? No."

My hand crept for the .38 special that was tucked away in
the top drawer of my desk. "Are you a butler?"

"No one's missing or dead, you dumbass. I'm here to hire you
as a humor writer."

"Listen here, toots. They call me Stalker because I
relentlessly track down my man, and sometimes watch him
shower. Do you see where I'm headed with this? I'm a private
eye, not a writer." I removed my football helmet and slammed
it on the desk for added emphasis. "I'll never write
humor."

"Never," she replied, "is a long time. Especially when you
can't count, so you mark your wall with chalk like you see
people do in prison movies. Only you don't know what the
marks even signify, so your wall is just a mess of
meaningless scribbles."

She had a point.


Another good friend, Detective Baby. This photo was taken
just days before he lost his Investigator's license for
beating a suspect to death.
"Look, even if I accepted your offer, you'd only be
disappointed with the results. I wouldn't know humor if it
crept up on me in a dark alley and hit me in the head with a
sock full of nickels, or if it missed and just hit my
shoulder. Maybe if it was light out and I could see it
coming, sure, but not in a dark alley."

"You won't be writing in a dark alley, and you just
unknowingly proved my case. You have a way with words."

She was right again. I did have a way with words. I used
them all the time to do thi

things like yell at random people on the street, use the
telephone, and yell at random telephones on the street.
There was even that one marvelous day when someone asked me
what time it was, and I told them. I could use words, after
all. How long had I been so oblivious to the unfathomable
power that I wielded?

"Besides," she added, "I'm here on behalf of Rich 'No Tax
Because I'm A Crime Boss' Kyanka, and this is the sort of
offer you can't refuse. Because he's a crime boss. He wants
you to write for Something Awful."

Kyanka's involvement changed everything. He was the sort of
thug that even I hesitated to cross paths with. His
viciousness was legendary; one time he had actually shot a
man just for shooting him first. If given the choice, I'd
have rather faced down Johnny Gimme That, or his
considerably nicer brother Jimmy Please. But I wasn't given
a choice, and my life was suddenly at stake. This was
serious, it wasn't a clown with severe diarrhea running
around in circles and screaming for help. This wasn't a
friendly game of kickball. This wasn't one of your good-time
socials, where everyone listens to rock n' roll and holds
hands unsupervised.

"I suppose there's not much I can do. I'll go along with
this, but I want a... 'bonus' in addition to my regular
salary." I licked my lips and winked suggestively.

"Anything you want," she replied with a smile. Her hand
gently ran down the length of my arm. "You name it, and it's
yours."

Three minutes later, we were leaving the Happy Time Ice
Cream Parlor with the most delicious banana splits to have
ever been split. We ate as we walked along the city's mean
streets with fudge smeared on our faces, resembling
Siegfried and Roy after a particularly wild evening, minus
the horrific neck wounds. Taking another bite, I thought the
situation through. Something Awful was a sleazy publication,
so shoddily written that it didn't even bother to charge
it's readers. Even still, I was afraid. What if my writing
was even worse than the

the schlepps who wrote there regularly? What if I actually
used the word "schlepp" in an update? The stakes were too
high. I had to find a way out of this, whether it meant
facing Kyanka's wrath or not.

"You know," I said through a mouth full of vanilla ice
cream, "we entered into an oral contract, yet you want me to
write. Since the contract itself isn't written, it's
invalid. Oral contracts only work when you're dealing with
public speakers, or people who sing."

"That makes absolutely no sense."

"You know what else makes no sense? Me having a jetpack. Yet
I do. Game, set, and match."

I then tore off my trench coat, revealing the stunning piece
of machinery that would take me far away from the reach of
Kyanka's goons. The dame gasped in amazement as the
jetpack's metallic shell glistened in the sun like a jetpack
on a sunny day. Before she could react, I sprung into
action, running home as fast as I could with that incredibly
heavy thing on my back. The Stalker had outwitted his
enemies once again, and successfully avoided having to write
for Something Awful.

I think many of these photoshopped covers say more about the
person who photoshopped, than about the original artist.
