As I scour the internet, looking for links to keep you entertained, I’m kinda surprised how difficult it is to find decent text-based right-wing blog humor. It’s all reposts of YouTube videos now.
Even Scrappleface, whose coined the term “Axis of Weasels” back in his writing days, has climbed aboard the video train.
Surely there are still writers out there who seek to amuse, aren’t there?
My question is, who do YOU read when you want to be entertained? Not the gigantor mega-bloggers that everyone’s heard of. I mean talented, low-traffic sites still struggling for attention.
Who’s your favorite under-rated blogger? Drop a link in the comments.
And yes, you can name yourself.
And yes, even first-time visitors are invited to participate.

While Sippican Cottage is a bit video heavy latelty, the Meteor is still a wordsmith’s humor blog. It’s even funnier to people from Maine, because some of the most subtle bits are very inside jokes and Mainers love to make fun of themselves. God help anybody else that tries it though….

Not really underrated, but unfasionably favored by Beck’s minions….
I read this guy FrnakJ, he can be funny. Sometimes. He’s hit and miss. His biggest problems are his multiple personalities, some of them are funnier than others.
Another, good place is Roberta Hoyt, she does a comic called Ninja Nun. It makes me laugh.
Little OT, but I just read a great new piece by Mark Steyn linked on http://www.weaselzippers.us with some excellent points — always fun to read while imagining him speaking it. Cuisines from My Stepfather

This guy hasn’t been posting much recently, but he’s really funny…PlanetMoron.com
http://thebloggess.com/
She just published a book: *Let’s Pretend This Never Happened*. Seriously funny. She has links to other humorous blogs.
WARNING: EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION, latest Obamacare study shows that “Excessive Humor Can Kill–sTAY ALIVE, WEAR A FROWN”. Moochell is planning a new White House campaign dedicated to “wiping out perilous grins; broad smiles; killer belly laughs; and injurious jokes–THE ONE has already signed on to the concept, be HE claims it was always HIS idea.
Veeshir – that’s Robert A Hoyt, son of the writer Sarah Hoyt, who, by the way posts at http://pjmedia.com/ , http://classicalvalues.com/ , http://madgeniusclub.com/ , and http://accordingtohoyt.com/ ; all of which are text heavy.

My own blog posts aren’t political, but they’re all shameless, desperate attempts to mine laughter from text-based rants, and some of them might be in line with what ya’ll like.
One is why the Na’vi from Avatar are really horrible assholes:
http://ihogeek.com/2012/03/26/the-navi-from-avatar-are-assholes/
and another is in defense of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who were viciously maligned by Roger Ebert as violent and un-American:

Please click, and click and click and click. I promise to love you long time.
Sugarplum’s solo Blog. It’s thought provoking more than funny. Lots of good Thomas Sowell and Prager to be found.
Well, I’ll plug my place, the best-kept secret on teh Intarwebz (click on my name), but there are quite a few really good sites out there: Llama Butchers, The Hostages, David Thompson, The People’s Cube.
I plan on starting a blog soon, mostly politcal humor I’ve stolen from imao, it will be really good! I plan on talking about how we should nuke the moon

Quiet. Understated.Subtle. And it seems to be standing the test of time.
Erm… well, when I’m looking for thoughtful posts or interesting little tidbits, Bookworm Room is always a good bet… but humor? You’re pretty much the only one I can count on for consistent smiles.
Wait! Andrew Klavan. He does satirical videos for PJMedia–try (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOmTH1fIhBE&feature=relmfu).
…oh, /text-based/ right-wing blog humor?
I got nothing.
I kind of like mine. Just plugged Frank J.’s books so that ought to count for something:

I’m still touting http://thepeoplescube.com/
They throw so much at ya some of it has to stick!

As an introvert I just can’t name myself…(sniff)
I started blogging some right wing humor a while back at http://slapotics.wordpress.com/ but I kind of let it go.
My favorite is Monster Hunter Nation, the blog of author Larry Correia. While a lot of it relates to books, when he goes off on a tear about current events it’s an instant classic.
http://beckydelport.blogspot.com/ is my fav. She keeps me rollin’!
Holy moly JC, I thought it was Roberta Hoyt, I didn’t realize it was Robert A. Hoyt.
Unless the operation was a success, I’ve been wrong all along.
I like Classical Values, I’ve been reading it for years, I haven’t read Sarah’s blogs.
“text-based right-wing blog humor”
Such a thing exists?
(Well, maybe straight out of the days of OCR (optical character recognition) documents and such.)
ME of course but I’m a bit tough on idiots/liberals/progressives/RINO’s/racists/media etc… Pro Gun fun, right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness… Nothing so complicated it can’t be solved with a .45 cal slug!!!!… Whooo. Hoo…
Can’t beat Rog at http://curmudgeonlyskeptical.blogspot.com/ Been going there 10+ years
Harvey at Bad Example.
Nyuk…
Not really.
I’d have to say that it is me. But, I gave it up for fame and fortune.
I am kinda partial to http://www.bejohngalt.com myself. Fine, we aren’t always funny, but we are pretty cool. Plus the fact that none of us eat dogs should earn us at least *some* high praise, right?
I’m rather fond of the sound of my own voice (miriamsideas.blogspot.com) but have to admit that Johnny Virgil (15minutelunch.blogspot.com)s a pretty amusing guy.

some of my faves.
My favorite? http://www.gormogons.com/
Neo-Neocon– hands down. She’s an ex-Democrat with an interesting point of view, particularly when it comes to how liberals view things. Her writing is sharp and always insightful.
After I enjoy the daily thought-and-laughter-provoking treasures at IMAO, I frequently click on Harvey’s Bad Example blog and Basil’s easy to remember Basilsblog to see if they’ve been holding out on me.
I just realized, looking at my ‘Bookmark’ list, that nearly every one of my favorite web sites is something I discovered from links provided by IMAO at one time or another, either in a post or from one of the commenters.
Thanks.
IMAO – your one-stop resource for internet excellence!
Yhe tag team of Dianne and Brian. She’s smart and very sexy. He’s smart and very funny.
I am Partial to the Adaptive Curmudgeon – http://adaptivecurmudgeon.wordpress.com/
I found it and ended up reading it all – from the Saga of reviving an antique tractor, to the freedom Chicken, to his hatred of the chevy volt- the guy is hilarious and insightful ( and no, I am not him)
In case you haven’t noticed, Rachel Lucas is posting regularly again. Nice mix of occasional political rants with Rachel’s keen “hickbilly” insights into Europe (after 3 years in UK she’s now in Italy for what promises to be an interesting 3 years) and her ever-popular “I’m so stupid I can’t believe they let me out without a helmet” -style anecdotes about her daily adventures. She knows how to turn a phrase, and she’s one of the funniest people I’ve read on the web.
Ace of Spades’ co-bloggers are pretty good.
Drew Pearce at BMEWS. He and old guy Pieper in Britain share and spread the crazy across the atlantic onto your screen 7 days a week.

Irregular, but worth an RSS feed. Oh yeah: It’s me.
Jeff Goldstein at proteinwisdom – come for the staunch individualist conservatism, stay for the brief conversations with dead celebrities.
LOL @ Drew. But he’s right.
I like David Thompson for the dry Brit wit in the posts & comments and the tasty skewering of progs. No, Baraka, I did NOT say dogs, I said progs.

No better writing on the conservative scene than that to be had at Ace of Spades HQ. Ace is a riot, his co-bloggers are hilarious, and no funnier commenters exist on the internet.
If y’all want to partake in the festivities, come join the proud and fearless Moron Horde. We are all sworn to defend Ace until death.
ace.mu.nu is the address. Join us.
My favorite political blog, and favorite blog period, is Ace of Spades. My own modest, non-political blogging efforts can be seen by clicking on my handle.
Wow, thank you someotherknight! That’s really kind, even though I don’t deserve it. 🙂
I also wanna second jeannebodine’s recommendation for David Thompson. I’ve been reading him for a few years and he is nothing short of genius. You can spend days in his archives.

Hey creep, all that you accomplished by deleting my innocuous
comments is that you proved that you are a creepy chickenshit.
Your pettiness is exceeded only by your sleaziiness, you creep.
Aw, what’s the matter? Afraid that people
will agree with me, you wussy little creep?
Scott – you were off-topic. I asked for your favorite under-rated blogger. Instead of praising someone you like, you insulted someone else.
Just tell me who you like.
