The intrusion on the PlayStation Network is a nightmare for all concerned -- Sony, gamers, developers, lawyers -- and the Internet has responded with expected anger, but also with funny tweets, funny memes, mash-ups, comics and YouTube videos. I've collected some of my favorite PSN-related internet humor below. (I've credited them as well as I could, given the nature of the internet.)
Reaction from the gaming community was swift, especially the below guy, DiscoSean21, who was very, very angry over the matter on YouTube:
This comic, from Penny Arcade, was released very early on:
Other internet denizens created Photoshops:
(PS3 Forever Alone From Memebase.com)
(Scumbag PS3: Found on BodyBuilding.com)
(Kevin Butler: Person of the Year, from redditor StabYourFace)
Funny or Die put out the below video:
(Top 5 PSN titles this week, From divisibleZERO)
(Airplane PSN parody From DrForrester)
As always, the last word on Internet comedy belongs to The Onion. The below video isn't specifically about the PlayStation 3, but I think it applies anyway... the language is REALLY NSFW:

My favorite was Airplane! and the top five titles from the PSN this week.

The ONN video is funny, but it's also been around for years. I first saw it in '07.

Good Morning San Diego this is Ron Burgandy.
In other news, Sony founder has renamed the PS3 to the PS2.5 due to the fact it cannot do multi-player.

I'm glad losers can find so much humor in this. It's getting kind of old seeing worthless articles on here. That said the old Onion video cracked me up the first time I seen it and it's still funny.

I'm so disappointed in all these websites that are supposed to appeal to "all gamers" we get it, you guys LOVE the XBOX, you don't have to make fun of the PS3 for every problem that arises. Live was down for 11 days in the XMas of 2008 but people seem to brush that aside... I understand this issue is much larger but come one hypocrites. It's not Sony's fault that this happened. We get what we payed for, oh wait, we don't pay. WE have ALMOST as much as LIVE does with a few social exceptions and security is MUCH tighter on LIVE, but I am not complaining because I don't have to pay. You guys are so messed up that you ALWAYS have to make fun of PS3's problems. Screw you guys and your biased ways. So annoying and immature.
Both systems are GREAT in their own ways.
Both systems have their problems.
If you're gonna make fun of one, make fun of them all.

This is funny...but it is getting tiring seeing all the things make fun of PSN...if XBL was down people would be all professional about it
