Welcome to ZUG!

ZUG is the place to share your share your real-life funny stuff: either stuff that happened to you (stories), or stuff that you made happen (pranks, stunts, and experiments). Every time someone laughs, you'll be rewarded with "funny points" called ZUGZ. You could even be named The Funniest Person in the World!

Every contribution you make to ZUG makes the world a funnier place. Best of all, every contribution makes you a little bit funnier yourself. By adding your story to our massive collection of funny real-life stories, you actually become a funnier person, in real life. It works!

Seven Posting Guidelines

As you begin your comedy journey, please read these Seven Posting Guidelines, which will result in higher ratings for everything you post.

#1: Be funny. This is a comedy site. With every post, try to keep the focus on making people laugh, and everyone wins.

#2: Write properly. The posts that get the highest ratings are the ones that are well-written and funny. Use proper punctuation and capitalization; avoid |337 5p34k and emoticons.

#3: Start slowly. Rather than bursting in with comedy guns blazing, it's best to read some stuff, and contribute gradually as you get a feel for the place. Work up to the punchline.

#4: Learn from the pros. Note people who accumulate the most ZUGZ, and watch how they add funny with each post. Try to be like them, while developing your own style.

#5: Keep personal stuff personal. The site is for the funny. Stay away from personal information, either your own or someone else's. Keep private discussions private.

#6: Quality and integrity. Don't flood the board with irrelevant ratings or posts, "invade" other message boards, or threaten or flame other members of the community. And don't take each other's comments too seriously; it's COMEDY!

#7: One account per person. Do not create multiple accounts, or post under someone else's account. If you can't get into your account, contact us for assistance.

ZUG is the world's longest-running comedy site, and we hope you will find it incredibly fun and addictive, eventually forsaking your family, friends, and job in order to post stories about trying to steal a live monkey from the zoo. Welcome!
