Top Ten Pet Peeves of Elon Musk

Being impersonated on SNL by Mike Myers
When a jerk with no sense of humor mocks the mini-submarine I built for the 2018 Thai cave rescue
Simplistic baby names that don't contain the ligature æ OR the letter "X"
Being mistaken for Emil Bove
Fact checkers / dorks who are clueless about the origin of the Martian word "grok" (tie)
Uncool people who don't get my hilarious 420/weed jokes
Boring, uninspired baby names like Noah and Liam
Birth control / unnecessary use of lidar and radar in self-driving cars by decision-makers who are not as brilliant as me (tie)
When ignorant kids laugh at me and call me "Elmo"
When people are always whining about trim panels that detach easily

Commentary

As we drafted this list, we came to the sudden realization that we are internet trolls. It's bad enough we make fun of Trump, but what did Elon Musk ever do to us? And what does this content we're publishing do to make the world into a better place? Frankly, we're not sure why we didn't realize until just now that we are trolls. Sobering.

Yeah, we feel a little guilty, but that won't stop us from posting.

The jokes here aren't even very creative. Sure, Musk gives strange names to his kids, but that's nothing new (items 8 and 4). We worked in some humor about the technology for self-driving cars, where Musk has pursued a "camera only" approach (item 3). We even used a joke from a 2018 event (item 9)! Omg that is sooo 7 years ago. Our favorite joke is probably item 2.

Drafting this list was a learning experience. We now know the meaning of "ligature" (two letters that are crammed together, like a and e combine to make æ, as in Exa Dark Sideræl). And if you don't like "ligature," you can refer to it as a "dipthong." Who knew?

Maybe we need a few lists on more general topics to cleanse our palate.

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 image of "a digital clock showing 5:00 alongside a glass of whiskey" was created by Klugmeister using artificial intelligence software. The image was reviewed by Klugmeister before posting on this web page. This image appears on List 237 - Top Ten Songs in Pete Hegseth's Spotify Wrapped List.

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 six years ago, even though the klugness site itself is two years old (we'll be free years old on October 17). 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.

In the Imagining Things blog, we've posted the third (and final) installment in a series of three blog posts about our eccentric webmaster's first motorcycle. This third blog post covers The Death of Klugmeister's Red Motorcycle. In this post, our webmaster describes an attempted trip to Key West that didn't work out so well. As he mulled this story lately, Klugmeister has been getting nostalgic about his li'l red Honda Rebel 250—though that's not the bike in the accompanying image, which was generated by AI. In other heartwarming news, our webmaster is continuing to make an effort to post new material to the Imagining Things blog on a more consistent basis.

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 themed lists are also included on the All Top Ten Lists archive (i.e., the 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, ponder the length of the government shutdown, or try to guess which one of Trump's enemies will be indicted next.
