Font Humour

If you like jokes about fonts—and who wouldn’t?—check out these two videos from College Humor. We learned about them from Stefan Budansew, a participant from an Elections Ontario course who shares our passion for language.

Remember the site is for college students, so some of the previews you might see are, um, inappropriate. Unless you happen to live with college-age students, in which case you’re probably immune.

  1. Font Conference is a meeting of personified type faces (French Script wears a beret and has a heavy accent, Comic Sans wears a cape and gets to save the day—you get the picture).
  2. Font Fight depicts a battle between two gangs, one led by Helvetica, and one by her clone, Arial. A little violent, and again, Comic Sans gets the last line.

Still, we’re not recommending you actually use Comic Sans.
