Well at least it's still historically accurate...

Oh man, the Haze stuff made me laugh.
The fact that this page exists: TearJerker.Pew Die Pie
I liked it better when Questionable Casting was called WTH Casting Agency

Franklin is the boobiemaster general of Earth.
From the HBO John Adams page:
Post Tenebras Lux
Man, Ben Franklin being a total...pimp? Man-ho? All-around popular guy? is something they teach you in like, middle school. Where I'm from, anyway.
(Doesn't stop it from being hilarious. Dude had like 70-something grandkids by the time he died.)

Dayum. Does that make him an Explosive Breeder, then? ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
Just awesome like that
I kinda want to make a story now about a man who discovers that his great grandfather (however far down the line is necessary) was the bastard son of Benjamin Franklin, and people discover this and goad him into leading an uprising to reestablish the State of Franklin.
Semi-related to The Scunthorpe Problem - I'm also a big fan of Fun with Autocensors, and my favorite entry may be:
The only crypt shop you'll ever need! Dismembered corpses available with squirming maggots! Safe! Legal! Cheap!
This makes me imagine a disturbing yet hilarious world in which spammers frequently target necrophiliacs.

Am I a weirdo?
Punched Across the Room is hilarious in it's current state. Look at the page image, then scroll down to the bottom.

The following trio of entries from Internet Counterattack. All of them are amazing, but the last of the three is amazing due to just how unexpected the result is
- In quite possibly the most hilarious example ever, Walmart was holding a contest where a local Walmart with the most fans on its Facebook page by a certain date would be visited by rapper Pitbull. This was done in an attempt to create a community with each store and its customers. The idea backfired on them when the Internet found out about this and in a campaign called "Exile Pitbull", proceeded to amass likes for a Walmart located in the remote town of Kodiak, Alaska. The best part? Walmart Kodiak wound up with the most fans by that date, and since they and Pitbull were good sports about it, he will indeed be visiting the store. So in summary, the Internet just banished Pitbull to Alaska!
- A similar event to the above happened when Justin Bieber held a poll to determine where he would hold a concert. When 4chan caught wind of this, they swarmed the poll with votes... for North Korea. In the end, Bieber didn't go through with it and the whole thing was cancelled. While he didn't actually go to North Korea, stopping the concert altogether was the next best thing.
- A third similar event occured when Taylor Swift held a poll to decide which school she should go perform to. 4chan and Reddit assumed control of the poll by swarming it with votes for the Horace Mann School for the Deaf. It simultaneously fired and backfired as Swift removed the school from the poll but, acknowledging the 4channers and Redditors' pranking efforts, donated $50,000, musical instruments and concert tickets to it, for which school principal Jeremiah Ford declared: "Are we the winner? Absolutely." In shorthand, the Internet (accidentally) gave a selfless gift to a school for deaf people!
Trans Siberian Anarchestra (it/they)
Taylor Swift vs 4chan and Reddit: Taylor Swift wins. :D
Just awesome like that
That's probably the only time I'd ever have to give Taylor Swift props for anything
Also, this:
Oh, that's what a "rake" is? I've seen it used in cheesy romance novels me and my friends used to read in Borders and had no idea what it meant.
...I miss Borders.
Ace Gamer
The Ugly Barnacle and its subpages really have to be seen to be believed.
I thought "rake" meant a 17th-18th century scoundrel and ne'er-do-well.

Oh God, the very first line on Surprise Incest is amazing.
Anne of Cleves, Henry VIII's fourth wife◊ from The Tudors; claimed by him to be no different from his horse. This means Henry has one of two things—horrendous eyesight or one exceptionally handsome horse.
Pronounced YAK-you-luss
Honestly, this was true in real life as well - she was a bit on the plain side, but not all that bad-looking. Henry was just out of his mind on syphilis by that point.
What's precedent ever done for us?
Probably racists, but this bit from the Captain Planet Headscratchers page:

And if I claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that I don't know.
