Comicwonder.com - User-submitted Audio Jokes

Here’s a site that will come in handy for the ever present uncle that has been telling the same jokes over the past 20 years. Comicwonder.com is a community of jokers that submit audio jokes which can be later heard or shared by other community members by pasting html codes in their respective sites, social networking profiles or blogs. Each joke is presented in an individual site and is played with a fast-loading flash player, and as each joke can be tagged, users can browse the site by joke category (wife, kids, cowboy, cannibal, priests, bar, dog, woman, blonde, etc). Additionally, jokes can be commented on and rated, which is a rather vital issue, as there is an ongoing contest to find “the best joke teller on the planet”, with a $2,500 cash prize. In order to record a joke on ComicWonder, users have to indicate their phone number, and will later receive a call from the system which will guide through recording, in order to ensure adequate payback quality.

“Comic Wonder is a competitive arena for joke-tellers - the first forum where people can perform, rate and share audio jokes. Our mission is to scour the earth looking for the best joke-teller in the world and declare that person the Comic Wonder of the Year!”

Having a joke site is always a good thing, as people who digg these stuff really love them, and the fact that there is an award is a way to encourage users to submit quality content, plus it’s beneficial for comedians, who tend to be on the broke side of the account.

The fact that the content is free to redistribute can be a bit of a turnoff for more professional joke-tellers and comedians, since they will get no profit from it, which leaves the site at risk from gathering a huge amount of amateurish joke-tellers who will remind users of the old uncle telling the same boring jokes all over again.
