I knew just from its name, even before clicking on the link, that I’d probably appreciate it: Animal Internet. Did the site live up to my expectations? It did, but it’s possible that those expectations were not difficult to meet. (More on that later.) What you can find on Animal Internet is exactly what you (but not you) might expect: content written from the perspective of animals. “It’s a place where polar bears can share their New Year’s resolutions with horses,” explains Casey, founder/CEO/dog of Animal Internet. At last, a place for that.

Not to be missed are the “Animatorials.” In one, Elton, a fox, reveals that he is an atheist. In another, an owl named Cheryl discusses her struggle with bulimia: “I don’t know how it started, and I’m not pointing any wings” she writes. You get the idea — a real hoot for all you animal-pun enthusiasts (sorry).

The humor of Animal Internet relies entirely on an age-old assumption, one that has for decades inspired the masterminds of the birthday card industry: when animals do things normally done exclusively by humans, hilarity ensues.

I’d like to think my sense of humor is more sophisticated than this, but I have to agree. Why? When a dog acts like a human, we compare ourselves with dogs. And if you think about it, a dog is sort of like a human that just came out wrong; his brain is the size of a peanut, he’s covered in fur, and occasionally he eats his own poop.

Now that’s comedy.
