Ben’s Bitter Blog

Before this class I never blogged or ever cared, that is until I stumbled upon a Ben’s Bitter Blog. The title caught my attention being different from the typical dull blogger. Reading into his posts I soon followed. The blog while being bitter in a sense, is intentional to make people laugh. Each post is bound to make the reader chuckle in some way.

Take a moment and read into a few posts if you’d like, maybe even follow it if it’s your style of humor. The key when reading is understanding sarcasm. For example…

“I hear Halloween is coming up.  Not sure how since Halloween stores have only been open since early August, and Halloween themed candy has only been on sale since July.  I love how the holidays recently have taken a step back to give us a little relief to do other things like mock the weatherman for predicting that it would rain in Seattle or that it would be sunny in Arizona.  I wonder how bitter it would be to be a weatherman, going to school for years to study weather patterns and high and low pressure hurricane clouds and to get scooped by me going outside to tell you what the weather is going to be like for the next 5 minutes.”

Not all of the blog is writing either. Ben incorporates funny images and gifs and dedicates them to segments like Slideday Friday. The Slideday Friday gifs will show a funny caption relating to his blog. One shows a lady getting her suv towed onto a tow  truck but instead of paying she hops in her vehicle and pulls the truck along. The caption saying “…couldn’t be late for Slideday Friday, no matter the cost…of towing a tow truck.”

The purpose of Ben’s Bitter Blog to put simply, is to be incredibly sarcastic and funny.

    Nope it is just supposed to be bitter. There is no sarcasm involved.

    Reblogged this on Ben's Bitter Blog and commented:
    This blogger found and disected the Ben’s Bitter Blog for their class. Take a look to see what happened when they put bitterness in a blender and saw what came out.

    Ben reminds me of the classic. It is not over until it is over and therefore rewrite and reflect and then reflect while you rewrite it again. Never satisfied. Goes on vacation and finds the faults of the places he has visited. But deep down he is bitter for he knows life is not sweet but loaded with the calories of evil which put on pounds in places not to be described. He rants he raves and he scores.

    Irony. Unsarcasm. Reductio ad absurdum. Humor so dry my screen turned yellow and curled at the edges as it died. It’s all there, alleviated only by Bent’s sardonic dejection. Oops; obviously I meant “Ben’s.” I recommend Ben’s Bitter Blog highly as the Internet’s only effective antidote for kitten videos.
