If you search the phrase “Christian humor” on Amazon.com here are some of the first things you’ll find on the results page:

The Magic Christian – A movie from 1969 starring Ringo Starr and Peter Sellers

The God Humor Platypus T-shirt

A poster of a kitten wearing glasses by a photographer named Christian. (There is nothing funny about feline near sightedness.)

An album called “Gibt es einen speziellen Schweizer Humor und wenn ja warum nicht?” by a dude named Christian. (You know the one I’m talking about, und wenn ja warum nicht? Exactly.)

The movie “Unleashed” (One of Jet Li’s funnier films.)

A Petra poster

There are a few Christian comedy “for a woman’s soul” kind of books mixed in to the results, but yikes.

We’re funnier than that, right? We have to be.

So that’s the question of the day.

What Christian blogs are you reading that are funny?

What comedians that are Christian do you love?

What Christian writers are creating great satire?

(I swear this isn’t my attempt to get you to answer “You’re funny Jon” unlike that time I wrote a post about Donald Miller and ended it by saying “Who will be the next Donald Miller?” That was clearly my attempt to get you to answer, “You are Jon, you’re the next Donald Miller.” Which is embarrassing but true. That was ridiculous of me.)

I’ll go first:
1. Lark News
2. Matthew Paul Turner
3. Jason Boyett
4. Tripp Crosby
5. Tyler Stanton
6. Bryan Allain, Stacy from Louisville, Nick the Geek, Matt & the church of no people and all the other Stuff Christians Like guest bloggers.
7. Lanny Donoho

So what funny Christian stuff is being created these days? My list is woefully incomplete, although I have a sneaking suspicion it should also include the Wittenburg Door.

Who is a funny Christian?

And please, feel free to self promote. Be shameless. If you’re doing funny things let us all know.
