Charges.com.br
Brazilian humor website
Charges.com.br is a Brazilian humor website, created in February 2000 by the cartoonist Maurício Ricardo Quirino. It consists of animated cartoons made with the Macromedia Flash program. Due to their success, the cartoons are even shown on television stations, such as Rede Globo, which shows every Tuesday on the Big Brother Brasil on a day of elimination.
The charges animadas (see below), which the site presents daily, are the main feature of the site. In addition to these charges animadas, the site has other minor features, such as the piada do dia (joke of the day), which publishes jokes sent by the site's visitors, and the emails comentados (commented emails), in which the site's owner will publish some of the
emails sent to the site (which can range from site feedback to relationship advice, to lame jokes and to people sending a message just asking to be published) and add some comments to them. The site also has some Flash-powered games, which were also themed generally on recent events.
In 2006, it won the iBest Prize for Best entertainment site, by popular jury. Since 2012, animations have also been made available through their own YouTube channel. The animations ended in 2022, due to declining popularity and low financial return due to YouTube limitations.
