There is just too many awesome Lorem Ipsum (placeholder) text generators going around lately not to round them up.

Fillerama
Bender, quit destroying the universe! I decline the title of Iron Cook and accept the lesser title of Zinc Saucier, which I just made up. Uhh… also, comes with double prize money. So, how ’bout them Knicks? Soon enough. Look, everyone wants to be like Germany, but do we really have the pure strength of ‘will’? Goodbye, cruel world. Goodbye, cruel lamp. Goodbye, cruel velvet drapes, lined with what would appear to be some sort of cruel muslin and the cute little pom-pom curtain pull cords. Cruel though they may be…
Samuel L. Ipsum
Do you see any Teletubbies in here? Do you see a slender plastic tag clipped to my shirt with my name printed on it? Do you see a little Asian child with a blank expression on his face sitting outside on a mechanical helicopter that shakes when you put quarters in it? No? Well, that’s what you see at a toy store. And you must think you’re in a toy store, because you’re here shopping for an infant named Jeb.

She’ll be right dero also trent from punchy jackaroo. He’s got a massive cook my he hasn’t got a schooner. As dry as a your shout when mad as a pig’s arse.

Bonus
Probably not great for most client work or school projects: Swearem Ipsum and Trolleum Ipsum
My own, with HTML tags: HTML-Ipsum
For images: Placehold.it, Placekitten, Placedog, and Placebear.
Exteme funny list,
hipster lipsum is so hipster!
I used Gangsta Lorem Ipsum (www.lorizzle.nl) for a while, and then got worried I would forget and accidentally leave it on a client’s site..
Excerpt:
I second this one! So funny.
I’ve been using placekitten for images but I am unbelievably happy that I can now use BEARS. Mucho excite.

I’ve use a few dummy text generators but I always come back to this because of its one-click generation/copy of 1-10 paragraphs: excellent.
I recently started using Cupcake Ipsum but had to stop as it made me too hungry at work…
At the opposite end-of-the-spectrum, somethings are better done using really copy. As with any tool, use it responsibly.
Death to Lorem Ipsum

Stop using Lorem Ipsum!

Cheers!

What do you suggest as an alternative?
Named after former Alaska governor and one-time vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin http://www.palinipsum.com/
I’m shocked that there are so many! Isn’t one enough? People, stop creating these apps. Please. Just stop.
… but Samuel L Ipsum is hilarious! I will be using that for all future projects. Love it.
This website has a sweet recap of all the lorem ipsum pages:
http://ipsumeme.com/
lol, these sites are getting outta control
Ha, there really are a ton of these out there. Of course, my personal favourite, even though I don’t use it, has got to be zombie ipsum. Great list though, really hilarious.
http://www.lorizzle.nl : )
Spanish one http://www.quijotipsum.com :)
Thanks for writing about Cupcake Ipsum! Lots of love from the Applicake team :-)
I found Vegan Ipsum & Gansta Lorem Ipsum as well :)
I like Veggie Ipsum.
http://lebowskiipsum.com/
Don’t forget Journo Ipsum as well.
I’ve got one that I wrote a while back. Features about a dozen different styles including tech, hillbilly, metropolitan, and more:

I like corporate ipsum in google chrome

Hey… don’t forget beeripsum.com
Hah, great selection.
Gosh so many of them! When we created http://things.kureno.com/Lorem-Ipsum-tool there were not many similar sites. LOL
I think the theory behind Lorem Ipsum can be changed, to create more meaningful texts. For example, why not decorating the latest news module demo, with real headers, instead of some crap?
Also imagine that a demo theme, contains a complete sample data with itself. Don’ you feel better?
I guess the first step is to use meaningful arbitrary words. Then we can generate sentences. Then paragraphs.
Y U NO API? (except Fillerama)
I was using Hipster Lipsum before it went mainstream…
doublestar
LOL!!
Chris – These are brilliant. Thanks for sharing!
Our multi-lingual Lorem 2 is not hip but it’s easy to use. :) http://lorem2.com
This is great especially if you’ve already memorized Lorem Ipsum :)
I really like Littleipsum (http://littleipsum.com/) for mac. Nice lorem generator that’s directly on your menu bar.
great share! :) love all but I’m going to use http://chrisvalleskey.com/fillerama/ “the simpsons” from now on.. :)
I like the cupcake ipsum one the best. Why are cupcakes so fun lately?
simply lol
Coming from neighbouring a country
(New Zealand) Bogan Ipsum made me grin
I really like this dashboard widget:
http://tobiasahlin.com/blog/introducing-loremify/
(it’s not funny, but it is beautifully designed)
Love Samuel L. Jackson Ipsum, made me mother^&@# laugh!
Good content but, where’s like button? #fail
Above the “Previous Blog Post” bar. FAIL.
Also Chris, you gave yourself a gold star. Is that allowed? :-)
You might need to refresh the page and/or flush your cache.
And yes.
Not quite as funny, but may (hopefully) be a bit more useful is http://www.wpfill.me …It generates all the WordPress markup it’s possible for a client to create using the Tiny MCE editor.
Just finished it, hopefully somebody will use it!
