Quote of the Week

The road to success is always under construction

Lily Tomlin

Bible Verse of the Week

There is a strange thing happening here upon the earth: Providence seems to treat some good men as though they were wicked, and some wicked men as though they were good. This is all very vexing and troublesome!

Ecclesiastes 8:14 (LB)

Whimsical Phrase of the Week

Let's count up the number of brain cells across every living thing worldwide dedicated to Facebook. Then let's slice them out, create a Facebook brain, and ignore what it says forever

Welcome to klugness.com!

The U.S. website www.klugness.com was launched in October 2022 with over 100 funny top ten lists, and has since increased that number to over 200. The klugness site doesn't include jokes in the traditional sense, but is dedicated to humor using a David Letterman-style top ten list format. A portion of the content focuses on American politics, with the site generally leaning left, while the rest is garden-variety humor ala MAD magazine. We hope you enjoy the site!

This home page shows the most recent top ten list. Please check out the full archive of funny top ten lists on klugness.com at All Top Ten Lists. Note these lists were created up to seven years ago, even though the klugness site itself is four years old. The archive page also includes a "List Sampler" table of 18 selected funny top ten lists that will give you a sense of our content without having to tackle all 200+ funny top ten lists. Beneath the "List Sampler" is information about the pictures we've been adding to the site since the beginning of 2023. The pictures are generated using a combination of artificial intelligence and traditional means.

Getting back to the funny top ten lists, we offer a couple of targeted subsets that focus on particular themes. For example, the Trump-Themed Lists are critical of President Trump, so you won't like them if you're a Trump aficionado.

Another theme is the clever May 2020 Now vs. Then series, which consists of 10 funny top ten lists that compare and contrast the initial coronavirus times to historical times in an amusing way (e.g., "stay at home" vs. "rock and roll all nite"). That early pandemic theme was created in 2000, but it feels sooo ancient! Based on viewership of these pages, it appears that most folks are loathe to revisit that challenging period, and we don't blame you!

Note that the Trump-themed and Now vs. Then lists are also included on the All Top Ten Lists archive (i.e., these themed lists are a subset of the full archive), so if you looked at the full archive, you won't find any new material on the themed lists. This handy bit of intell could free up more time for you to gaze at your phone, guess which Trump cabinet member will be fired next, or wonder how much longer the "maybe two weeks, maybe three" war will last.

Effective October 2026, we've opened up a new theme that's not included on "all top ten lists." During October we published three lists in this new Dueling Songs theme. (We wrote all three lists about five years ago, but we inadvertently left the material percolating on the back burner.) This theme involves comparing characteristics (lyrics, themes, music) of two songs in the form of a top ten list. Our latest comparo features two songs with a cynical take on either TV or radio. Check it out!

If over 200 top ten lists is too much to handle all at once, another alternative is to check out a few samples of recent top ten lists:

  6. Top Ten Reasons Trump Bailed on the Kristen Welker Interview
