Line 1: {{work}} [[File:Spamusement banner.gif\|thumb\|350px]] ''[~~http~~https://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20131113001134/http://spamusement.com/ Spamusement]'' is a [[Web Comic]] whose strips (usually of the single-panel variety) are all based on the subject lines of spam received by its creator Steven Frank. Given that he picks out the weirder and more incomprehensible examples of these, there is a tendency towards [[Absurdity Ascendant\|extreme surrealism.]] ~~The~~[[Orphaned Series\|Since the last update was in 2007,]] the members of [~~http~~https://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20140103080542/http://spamusers.com/ Spamusers], formerly the Spamusement Forums, have followed this trend. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~''Spamusement'' provides examples of the following tropes:~~ * [[Dada Comics]] * [[A Good Name for Aa Rock Band]]: "House and the Sheds", [https://web.archive.org/web/20131208082839/http://spamusement.com/index.php/comics/view/171 apparently.] * [[Attending Your Own Funeral]]/[[The Fun in Funeral]]: "HELLO ME NOT DEAD" features an annoyed [[Sesame Street\|Cookie Monster]] waking up in his coffin at his (premature) funeral. * [[Gone Horribly Right]]: "[https://web.archive.org/web/20131208085224/http://spamusement.com/index.php/comics/view/34 Isn't science wonderful?]" * [[Groin Attack]]: (aA [[Running Gag]] involves spam of the "use your penis as a tool" variety, showing something associated with that tool in the foreground and an ambulance in the background) * [[Hand in ~~The~~the Hole]] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20131208085615/http://spamusement.com/index.php/comics/view/66 You never know what could happen!]) * [[Hulk Speak]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131208090223/http://spamusement.com/index.php/comics/view/104 Football not good.] * [[Lampshade Hanging]]: ~~(on~~On the deliberately crude art style) * [[Running Gag]]: (In addition to the tool gags above, about four comics have had a shelf of terrible software and a number of others have had a pile of cellulite or an eggplant.
