"Comedy goldmine".

This site scams its registered users in a subtle way. An avatar costs $5, but any registered user can change someone else’s avatar with an insulting and usually obscene title (Anonymously) for $10, so the victim would be obliged to fork over another $5 to get a new avatar. Using this feature as a kind of duck blind, the site owner and Admins have taken advantage of its members to change or deface, at no cost to themselves, at least 50,000 avatars in the past five years. I estimate that this has induced about 80% of the victims to pay $5 each for new avatars. A sneaky way to raise $200,000 from your loyal army of registered dupes. The site is run by confidence tricksters and criminals.

This site is racist and libel. Uploads plagiarism of original videos to YouTube that gives content owners/copyright holders a bad reputation which their account should've been terminated a long time ago. Plagiarism is not fair use. "The internet makes you stupid."? Sounds like what a Luddite would say.

NOT GUILTY, but beware of the trolls...

I find this website useful and informatief.

Used to be funny. I keep going back there, expecting it to be funny, but it really just sucks mostly. That's why I gave it the untrustworthy rating. I miss Cliff Yablonski, who grew me from a bean.

It is good entertainment.

It is funny but sometimes with adult content.

Pure and utter shittier trolling. 4/10 - They made me rate.

Most of the other reviews are completely wrong. Something Awful is not about Internet humor and satire, it's about love between mature and immature men, a front for short gay WMV clips swapping.

A troll site. They make biased opinionated articles for attention.

Awful links, awful stories. Not suitable for children!

A great, entertaining site, especially where their humor section is concerned. Beware, though - all the humor on this site is geared towards a STRICTLY ADULT audience. Much of the (often satirical or true-to-life) humor can also be offensive to some groups and may be taken the wrong way; other bits of humor are just downright mean, bordering on exclusive (of course mocking racism and exclusion as a whole). Over-18 crowd, enjoy, but keep this one away from the kiddies.

Site that highlights some of the darker side of the internet (weekend web). Definitely not safe for kids due to the content on display

*sigh* This is another one of those pointless, sarcastic websites that provides false information and statistics, similar to encyclopedia dramatica.
3
Very rude. Not for children!

Hilarious website with a minimum of web ads. Awesome and spectacular photoshops. Not safe for work or children though.
3
Photoshop Phriday and the Flashtub are neat to see if you're old enough. -Don't take any chances, kid!

Very Humorous and entertaining website for adults. Strict rules applying to work safe content, and no pornography allowed. Humor, Candor, and Charades directed to a mature audience. You will see no nudity here, but overall content is geared towards adults.

A funny site with lots of good stuff, but not safe for children.
