Of course, it makes money too, otherwise why would the big boys spend billions of dollars to advertise and market?

It can be extraordinarily effective when it is used correctly. People will actually look for your site, talk about it and email links if its good. Why? Because people like funny things. They relax and pay attention when they know you have a sense of humor. It puts them in a good mood, and it creates a more comfortable atmosphere and a more positive image for your company.
