Is Hub Pages a place for humor?
Besides my obvious love for video games, I don't really have a specific niche...I write about pretty much everything and anything, there is no method to my madness. I know I have an off-the-wall sense of humor which isn't for everyone, but I was just wondering if there's a place for someone like me here on Hub Pages. Are Hub Pages as serious as they seem...do people here like to crack a smile...or for the most part, is it all seriousness all the time?
I write mostly humor stuff and seem to be doing ok. Most of my followers have a wicked sense of humor and are funny in their own right. So, yes, there is a place here at HubPages for you and your sense of humor.
Thank you very much for your response...I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now...and no, it's not diarrhea.
It may not be diarrhea...but if you read terrye's stuff, you WILL at least pee your pants.
@fpherj48 that sounds hot...really it does.
@TToombs08 thanks for having my back playa.
@TToombs08 thanks...that means a lot coming from you.
Join some hubpages facebook groups, share your works on SnipIt and Chime. You'll start getting the views you hoped for. And a blog helps. I love my blog, and my blog loves me!
@TToombs08 where would one find these said Hub Pages Facebook groups? I never heard of Snipit and Chime...I will have to look into them...thanks for the heads up.
There are some very funny hubs about, maybe you've not come across them yet - or maybe your humour really is off the wall and doesn't register some of them! I'm intrigued now by what you may write. Browse hubs by topic, under entertainment there is a humour section. People's idea of what's funny will naturally vary. Hope you find something that tickles you.
Thank you for the information...I really appreciate it and I'm going to look into it. If you do get the chance to read any of my work please let me know what you think.
MJM, I just read your crap on Bathroom Wall News. *chuckle*
@TToombs08 thank you...glad you liked it.
I try to write hubs with a bit of humor and don't take them too seriously. But to answer your question, hub pages is a place for writing content that google will rate highly.
Oh man...then I'm screwed...because Google hates me...I cheated on it with Bing.
I'm the bottom bitch...I called it first.
MJM....If my opinion counts for anything much, I'm afraid I'm over the edge...."Every where" is a place for humor......except, of course, needless to say....a tragic situation or scenario........I said, "over the edge"...not plain stupid.
If you haven't seen tons of humor on HP, you've merely not come upon it yet...and believe me, you don't know what you're missing!
I have met some of the funniest people EVER, here on HP. Just off the top of my head....."Thoughtsandwiches" and "Mark Ewbie," (HILARIOUS)....."TToombs", who has commented here, "imkarn"......so many, I hate to overlook them, but eventually you'll meet up with them.
Happy cruising!
@fpherj48 of course your opinion counts...you are the bomb diggity. Thanks for the information and if you'll now please excuse me, I have some hubs (and hubbers) to search out.
If you're going to see Thomas or Mark.......go potty first. I'm in process of suing Thomas (thoughtsandwiches) for the hernia I developed, reading 3 of his hubs in a row.......His hub on"orphan hubs" should be labeled "Dangerous."
@fpherj48 I'm all set...I got my Depends on nice and tight.
Honestly, humor is one of the best things you can have here. The internet is flooded with content. There is virtually nothing you can write about that hasn't already been covered elsewhere. That's why it's so important to establish your voice. Give people a reason to come back to your articles, even if you're not providing any new information. Humor is the quickest way to do that, if you can do it well. My only advice is to not restrict yourself; write the kind of stuff that you think would be funny and the rest will just fall into place.
Awesome advice...thank you so much. I am trying...but I don't know if my idea of humor is really funny...or if it just make me look like a screwball.
It's definitely okay to be humorous on Hubpages. I've read some very funny satirical hubs since I've been here. Having a sense of humor will help you gain followers and views.
That's what I'm hoping for...but only time will tell.
Oh, Michael, don't you know? This IS the asylum (of course, I read your profile; surprised?)!! EFFER certainly knows whereof she speaks. The humor abounds here.

My Take on Hub Pages. It's alright for them to take our content and just add whatever type of adds they want. Why? Because when someone reads ""our content"" and clicks on one of these adds, Hub Pages makes money. Yes you say, they share it with us. The Truth! Hub...

I've been a little down about not having received a payout for nearly two years of participation here, but I'm looking at Triond, another writing site, and I must say how grateful I am for the amount of control I have about how my article looks here at Hub Pages by comparison. When I delete...
