Founded in 2020 by Internet champions Seanbaby and Brockway, 1-900-HOTDOG is the last comedy website, cursed to study broken artifacts from a wrong universe. Every weekday we examine one of the foundational aspects of the hotdog:
🌭 Learning: You are never so beefy you can’t better yourself.
🌭 Punching: On days of punching, we, as all hot dogs must, battle!
🌭 Nerding: From the stars and shires come the panty-drying treasures of nerds!
🌭 Fucking: I see we have your attention, ladies.
🌭 Upsetting: Not all failure is cute. To be honest, all days are a little bit Upsetting.
On Wednesdays, we do it by sound alone on the Dogg Zzone 9000 podcast. Also, once a meaty moon, we celebrate our brotherhood together with a Teamworking Day, and honor our treasured readers with a Hot Dog Appreciation Day. Every day the sun rises on a wonderful hot dog surprise.
While the rest of all online media collapses into a single shared despair, we have assembled an all-star team of funny people to keep the rare artform of “text and pictures” alive (funded through Patreon if you want to help). Let’s learn of these men and women of meaty outrageousness:
Seanbaby invented being funny on the Internet in 1995. He’s worked in all the medias, and his likes include Bloodsport. Brockway is a novelist and screenwriter who may have put more jokes online than any living non-Seanbaby person. And they don’t make this site alone!
Lydia Bugg is a comic writer and professional hilarity maker.
Dennard Dayle is the author of Everything Abridged and frequent New Yorker contributor.
Michael Swaim is a kind-hearted filmmaker, chaotic neutral author, and villainous podcaster.
Jason Pargin is a New York Times best-selling novelist, former senior editor of Cracked, and acclaimed Substack philosopher.
Brendan McGinley is a player of words, nerd historian, and comics expert.
Tom Reimann is the part man, part machine, all Tom co-founder of Gamefully Unemployed.
Alex Schmidt, pleasant genius, hosts the Secretly Incredibly Fascinating podcast.
Merritt K is an editor, game designer, and forgotten toyline archaeologist.
Sissyneck is a mysterious, unknowable rural creature.
