Cool post, I think you covered most of major players. A bit of shameless self promotion here’s mine.
Reality Wired – Perception is reality and reality gets you paid.
Something about being ‘smashed’ with information frightens me. Considering I am on dial-up, the tagline is actually a pretty good reflection of reality
Mine is: Creating content 2.0 to match the new web. I like it, lists or no
.
I personally like theVbag.com (slightly NSFW). They sell bags for storing umm, intimate items that women use as a replacement for men…
Tagline: “What do you put yours in?”
“Taking The Web Out of The Box” – My personal one
Great list.
Ronald, that is a good one hehe, but I could not find it the site. Maybe they removed.
Thanks for linking to The Art of Rhysisms, my long dead blog
. My current tagline – born out of discovering my blog was banned in China – is “1/6th of the World Can’t Access it, 5/6th of the World Doesn’t Want To
A lot of these are really good, just a nice addition for successful websites I guess.
We’re moooved you’ve included us!
Ok, you can stop worrying now.
I’m partial to mine,
Hurty Elbow: Comedy that’s quite hurty in the elbow.
I hadn’t thought that much about taglines, but you’re right, these do make the reader take notice. Thanks for pointing them out.
I think it is kind of interesting how many popular sites/blogs are starting to dump their taglines.
Jeremy, which ones you referring to?
Thats a pretty good list. Few are funny.
mine –
aimZblingZ – * if you can bring it, I can bling it *
Actually, defective yeti has about 30 rotating taglines. In addition to the one you mention, there’s also:Haphazardly Spellchecked Since 2002 (probably my personal favorite)Sturgeon’s Law Strictly EnforcedThe Buckhorn Beer Of WeblogsThinking Outside The PantsPutting The “i” Into “Teaim”
My fancy formatting = FAIL
Haphazardly Spellchecked Since 2002
Sturgeon’s Law Strictly Enforced
The Buckhorn Beer Of Weblogs
Thinking Outside The Pants
Putting The “i” Into “Teaim”
Also, I’ve always been fond of Mighty Girl‘s “FAMOUS AMONG DOZENS”
Nice funny collection of Blog messages
Hey, thanks for choosing Needcoffee! I’d like to humbly suggest the tagline of one of our newest sites, dedicated to mindless and entertaining violence, The Daily Kicksplode: “No gimmicks. No frills. Just once a day, something takes it in the face. Because this is what you want.”
I’ve always liked People You’ll See In Hell’s (pysih.com) “Your daily dose of evil.”
But then I’m alone in a basement right now.
My favorite is The Sneeze (http://thesneeze.com): “Half zine. Half blog. Half not good with fractions.”
I like mine too (http://candyaddict.com): “All the candy that’s fit to eat, and some that isn’t.”
Brian
Not as hip as some of these, mine is “Share your shed”, does exactly what it says on the tin.
CAP News … Are you in on the joke?
You forgot deanhunt.com – “Cos everyone is entitled to my opinion”
Thanks guys, the ones suggested were pretty good, I updated the post and we are up to 45.
One which still makes me chuckle is SEO Dave Naylors site which has the tag line “Can’t beat a good rank”.
We make up the news, so you don’t have to.
I draw your attention to my *other* tagline:
“A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, stuffed up a dog’s bottom”
So, so sorry.
My website’s tagline is “You Can Look Better Than You Really Do.”
(We Photoshop retouch pictures of people.)
I’m a fan of the CULT OF THE DEAD COW’s
“the internet’s #1 white slavery and cockfighting site!”
http://www.cultdeadcow.com
Famous among dozens is funny. I am going to click over and check that one out just because I like the humor.
Mine’s “Happiegrrrl Climbing – Where I’ve Been and Things That Have Happened While I Was There.” Pretty much tells it like it is, with a bit of climber attitude.
2 Assholes. 1 Website.
From SEOish.com:
Poorly illustrated SEO insights, sprinkled with fart jokes
Spittoon.biz – we spit so you can swallow
‘Satisfying your Mom since 1991′
They change it from time to time though.
http://www.Bungie.net
See above post.
I like this list, but you forgot mine.
Dobizo-How To Start A Clothing Line From Scratch
The word “Scratch” gets them everytime. It has worked good for SEO position and getting searchers to click thru.
MLBroadcast.Com: Global Exposure. Local Results.
is old and busted, it was funny 5 years ago, now it just sucks.
Stupid comment section ignored what I put in the website field.
Best page in the universe is old and busted. it was funny 5 years ago, but now it just sucks.
You missed one of my favorites: Something Awful – “The Internet Makes you Stupid.”
Phil, I still like Maddox’s tagline
.
Ben, good one, I will add it to the list.
Biznik – Business networking that doesn’t suck.
my favourite has to be at http://www.feedthebeaver.com
- Deep inside your unconscious mind lives a creature that generates weird, uncontrollable thoughts. What kind of creature? Mine’s a beaver. Feed the Beaver
ImAFish.co.uk – The Plaice To Be
excellent list myfav. youtube although i only have a couple of vids up there its a lotta fun to watch people post anything and everythin on there
What Would Tyler Durden Do? (wwtdd.com)
Tagline:
“What Would Tyler Durden Do” is a blog focused on bringing you the latest gossip and news about rich and famous celebrities. And then making fun of them. Why? Because fuck them, that’s why.”
How about SlipperyBrick?
Excellent – Heres mine
webofpoker – no one plays alone
FabDazzle.com – watch them implode…
Two of my favorite taglines come from the same blog, The Daily Bitch (http://brain-soup.blogspot.com):
“Brain Soup For The Dysfunctional Soul”
and
“Taking life with a grain of salt, a dash of pepper, and a shot of tequila”
I like “a celebration of things kids shouldn’t try at home” (www.badexample.mu.nu)
I had a list of about a dozen that I thought were very clever but I can’t find it now.
“The McGehee Zone: Leading the way in following the crowd.”
http://www.milliondollartagpage.com
Catchy taglines. Let the people decide if they are catchy or not
Small Fish Big Money – “making money online has never been easier…one small fish, in a shark infested ocean.”
Good old days of blogish.com (now seem’s to be parked)
Blogish.com – Almost worth it
One of the best I’ve come across is at:
Confessions of a Pioneer Woman
“Plowing through life in the country…one calf nut at a time.”
Office Hero Headquarters
Your private cache of tips, tools, and secret powers for saving the day
The Recliner GM Sports Blog – Where we’ve logged as many minutes as Chris Webber in ’07 but got paid $19 million less.
Cool ones. “Daily Blog tips – Some things you can read daily!”
Suggest any tag line for my website.. my site is something similar to http://www.yelp.com
Hi there – great list!
In the spirit of self-promotion, here’s a rather wonky one from my new blog http://hellinateacup.wordpress.com:
Hell isn’t cold, it’s warm. And it stinks like soured latte.
cheers
Kristina
Since 1995, when I registered the domain, the site tagline has served it well :
If it’s about your career … it’s here !!!
I want to know how Ronald in comment #3 KNOWS that tagline….Hmmm.
After reading some of these, I realize how lame mine is: Purveyors of fine Hip Argot, Categorical Imperatives, and other ideas of import.
first time blogging, searching some tips and found this site..cool site..
check my tagline..
Hmmm… Chitosan-free?!!
“how to make money online, no chitosan is needed. really!”
Its vry cool……. articleeeeeeeee……….
That is an awesome list
really opens me up to more “eye catching, random and perhaps conflicting” taglines instead of the more generic corporative taglines that i currently use.
Thanks
I have a website called findthefunnyWIRE which posts news headlines about comedy films. My husband has just added a blog (http://findthefunnywire.squarespace.com/guffaw) called GUFFAW.
His tagline: “With the emphasis on guff!”
He still cracks me up!
funnyrosa
I like the Maxim Philippines tagline the most because I read the magazine and I’m from the Philippines.
**clever
This is one I found, and now use the site.
HitFrog – Where Human Trafficking Is totally LEGAL?!
I was all WHAT legal human trafficking! It turned out to be a clever ad or copy writer (wahoo…). There are so many creative webmasters out here. I love finding well written wordplay. I hope to one day to use my creativity to build an awesome web site too.
Thanks for the list – some of these are real quality and insightful.
So there I was… working away way too hard and I came across this page. You’ve reminded me that life can be fun too, even when you’re working. Thanks for making my day!

Hello,
Looking to change my tag line. My humor blog is called Suburban Psychosis. I want something sarcastic as I am.
So far it’s been suggested ” it’s crazy in the burbs” and “have you taken your medication today?” but I’m not sold on them. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Suburban Psychosis

Thank you for providing the world with so much in the way of awesome tips… I’m a newbie blogger and have worked really hard in the past year at pushing through a seriously-steep learning curve. As a Missionary for Nutrition [which has not paid any bills, so far, as I Am purposefully NOT aligned with any products, for now - due to my long-range goals...] I really knew almost nothing about blogs when I started mine… So I anticipate returning to your blog – Thanks for the great tips!
And… I would Love to see my tag-line LISTED HERE, when I return, due to it’s own merit and, of course, if You deem it as “one of the best…” IT IS GREAT, in my not-always-completely-humble opinion… And I came up with it mySelf – or to be more accurate: I was adequately Open to the Divine Inspiration that Sent It to me…
So what’s your criteria for the “best” ones? Does my blog have to have already Succeeded with a following-along audience to qualify according to Your criteria???
Here’s my fabulous tagline, which [would you] perhaps like to list[?]:
“Let us Be… Peace On Earth… and ‘lettuce’ begin with Salad!”
Love, Dancing Bear, Missionary for Nutrition!
☙✿♡❦❧
P.S.S. I’m so confident that you’re going to respond to this… perhaps you get so many “such questions” that you don’t feel willing to respond… or perhaps You don’t Realize how much it would Benefit All of Humankind to have this important message raised in the public Consciousness – if You can help in any way – especially within a generation of young people who are – on a massive scale – heading down a path that can only lead to the equivalent of “nutritional-suicide” on a cellular level… Uh-oh. In case you suddenly are reminded of headlines in the news about alarming increases of obesity and heart-disease and “Adult-Onset” diabetes – IN CHILDREN – Never Fear! I Am on my way to Providing a SOLUTION! It’s a well-formed and sophisticated Plan that has been discussed over many-year’s Time among some very passionate and Compassionate individuals [of which I Am One… Anyhooo… Blessings & Thanks for having this blog. I’ll be back…
P.S.S. Please Love YourSelf: Eat A Salad!
And my favorite tag-line of all time that gets the most hits LOL is DIET
of course one would think that exercise would be popular uh? not a chance if you want the hits “DIET” will knock down your server lol.
That is a good one too!
This is a super cool, hole in the wall bar in Antigua, Guatemala. Its tag line is ‘Every dive bar needs a town’. It suits this place with its candles, live music and speak easy bar and second hand book store down to the ground.
hahaha, heres my tag line to “Today is the tomorrow of our yesterdays”.
“This page is about me and why everything I like is great. If you disagree with anything you find on this page, you are wrong. ”

Food for Life.
Cool and funny list. I must come up with a unique and cool tagline before sharing the one I’m using here.
This post made me come up with one.
“Poking the bear with a short stick”

I love the consumerist tagline. Funny as well as relevant.
how do you rate the best tag lines? i read this tag line on about.com >> ” Got milk? (1993) California Milk Processor Board ” considered as the top 1 tagline. i don’t know how they rate this.
