Shiny things that bring joy
Joss Whedon (of Buffy and Firefly writing fame) has written a little comic called Sugarshock, which is free on the web (first part here, second part here, third part here). The plot is totally random, but the comedy dialogue is excellent. Just don't waste mental effort at the beginning wondering things like "Why is there a robot in the band?" or "Why does the singer hate Vikings?" Accept these things. (This news comes via the blog of the excellent Lore Sjoberg.)
Also, this Onion article exceeds their usual high standards. Although mainly because it's funny to think of Jimmy Carter swearing a lot.
Also,
The circus of death is approaching
Its pathway is painted in red
Before it the frightened and helpless
Behind it a trail of the dead
The narcotic that forges their union
Is a substance known only to one
To the clown it is known as Dominion
It's a secret that he'll give to none
The drug which gives the clown power
Means the circus can never be stopped
And his dream can go on unhindered
Till the last human being has dropped
- "Circus of Death", the Human League
