Cheezburger Network

edit

A network of related sister sites has developed alongside ICHC, called the Cheezburger Network. Twelve of these are linked to each other via a navigation bar at the top of each site; apart from “I Can Has Cheezburger”, these are:

• “I Has a Hotdog”, which follows the same themes as ICHC but predominantly features dogs
• “ROFLrazzi”, making fun of celebrities in general and showing pictures of funny things in show business.
• “Totally Looks Like”, which matches celebrities and famous people with humorous animals, other people, cartoons, and others.
• “Pundit Kitchen”, which pokes fun at news, politics, and politicians.
• “Up Next in Sports”, highlighting images of various sports, many of which are taken out of context or featuring innuendo unintended by the photographer and athletes.
• “Graph Jam”, a blog for humorous office graphs such as line graphs, Venn diagrams, bar graphs and pie charts.
• “There I Fixed It”, showing pictures of kludges.
• “FAIL Blog”, containing pictures and videos of blatant stupidity or incompetence with captions involving the terms “Fail” and “Epic Fail” prominently, and sometimes
• “Win” when the word “fail” is incorporated with said stupidity. “Owned” and
• “Pwned” have been used periodically, but the site itself no longer advertises its support of these images, as they are no longer featured prominently.
• “Failbook”, featuring failures from social networking sites, mostly Facebook.
• “Engrish Funny”, supplying pictures of humorous foreign translation errors known as “Engrish.”
• “Learn From My Fail”, featuring moments of blatant stupidity and incompetence in the form of words as written by the submitter.
• “Hawtness”, showing women in bizarre poses and situations.
• “Art of Trolling”, showing humorous screenshots from sites such as ChatRoulette and Omegle.

Apart from these sites, other sites exist from the makers of “I Can Has Cheezburger”, which can be found at http://cheezburger.com/sites. As of June, 2010, the Cheezburger Network has 53 sites; launching new sites is a regular project although about 20% of new sites end in failure. One famous example is a Cheezburger site named “Tofulator”, which was a site in which videos are captioned, has not been updated since September 2009. No submissions have been entered as well; this might be because the majority of the videos come from Youtube, and Youtube had launched the feature of captioning a user’s video as of late 2009. Another example is “Probably Bad News”, which depicted funny mistakes in newspapers, but was merged with FAIL Blog.
