Deadly Cupcake was submitted to TWR as a ‘humor’ site, so I took this to mean this site would be funny. But this site isn’t a ‘humor’ site. It is a 16-year-old young man’s site. I managed to find an archive of video clips that Phil (the owner of Deadly Cupcake) thinks are funny. The videos are SNL clips, things that have been circulating the Internet for years and years, and yes, some of these are indeed funny. From time to time, he also posts one of those stories about stupid criminals or other Einstein Award related tales. Humorous, yes. Humor site, no.
Phil has been reincarnating the Deadly Cupcake site since he was in the 6th grade. It is now in its third re-design, and Phil has reached high school. The site itself isn’t unappealing in its design. It has a black background, white type and a nice masthead with links for archives, the video clips and the like. Phil puts his name and the date he posted above the post itself as in “Posted by Phil Sat Sept 18.” I would hazard to guess that roughly 98 percent of blog readers are also accustomed to seeing the ‘Posted by” line come after the post. This makes his posts somewhat confusing.
Phil loves Lacey Chabert, the actress. He also talks about movies he’s seen or movies that will be released soon. He gives his opinion of music. He talks about the Teen Choice Awards. He joined the chess club recently. It’s as if you can peek inside a 16-year-old’s brain and see all the wheels turning.
While not what I’d call a must-read for anyone over, let’s say 20, it is impressive. If you’re a teen, give Deadly Cupcake a look.
