If you've been following my blog posts for any length of time-first, thank you-and second, you know that I love to write about certain patterns evident within humor. One of these is deception. There seems to be a lot of it showing up in a variety of humorous content, in jokes, true-life anecdotes, stand-up performances, and sitcoms of every stripe. Comedians relate stories about other people lying, as well as those times when they felt compelled to do the same.

I know, I know. You're thinking, who the hell has time to look at 500 funny photos? Well, guess what, tough guy? YOU do. Because what would you do instead? Click over to the news to read about our wonderfully inspiring and hope-filled political situation? Make small talk with the people around you? (God, that sounds terrible, doesn't it?) No, you want funny photos, and I've got them right here. So get scrolling!

In the aughts, after growing disenchanted with his dream of becoming a Disney animator, he decided cartooning would be his lot in life. When he learned, in the wake of the Great Recession, that The New Yorker was the primary outlet still publishing cartoons, cracking the code of America's idiosyncratic intellectual stand-by became his mission. Until that point, The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, Ren & Stimpy, and South Park had been his guiding lights ("all those '90s dudes").

Closer to home, I once visited my beloved grandmother-in-law in the senior home where she resided. I stayed for dinner, choosing the turkey option. "What!" Grandma exclaimed, "You don't like the chicken?!" The emotional vibes reverberating in this episode are ambivalent and textured. There is an element of care, benevolence, and interest, but there is also the sting of reproach and the claim of the high ground in a power game.

For almost a decade, a couple in north London have marked the first day of the new school year with tongue-in-cheek doorstep photos celebrating their two son's return to the classroom.

Publishing this list is like giving you an X-ray examination into my funny bone, the area that harbours all of my dumbest, stoopidest and most insincere thoughts.
