Finally, a funny card game. This is a card game in which (per their website).......

Quote:
To start the game, each player draws ten white "answer" cards. One randomly chosen player begins as the Card Czar, and plays a black "question" card. The Card Czar reads the question out to the group. Each player answers the question by passing one white "answer" card, face down, to the Card Czar. The Card Czar shuffles all of the answers, reads them out loud in a humorous fashion, and picks their favorite. Whoever played that answer gets to keep the Black Card as one Awesome Point. After each round, a new player becomes the Card Czar, and every player draws back up to ten cards.

The game is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, and enjoyable by those who have a sense of humor. :D I oughta try it someday.

I played a totally f****d up answer combo last weekend when playing with my friends that was amazingly wrong and should have won, but the card czar snubbed me.

The prompt card that was drawn was.
'For my next trick, I will pull __________, out of ________.'

The two cards I played were 'an army of skeletons' and 'the Trail of Tears'. I don't even remember what won, because mine was so much better.

Yes, its basically the same concept, but much funnier. Plus it lives up to the slogan on the box, 'A party game for horrible people'.

There is an online version of the game as well. Being that the game is released under a Creative Commons license, and they give people the option of printing their own set, that also extends to making their own flash version of the game as long as its not for profit, and someone has.

Cards Against Humanity is one of those few games where you know regardless of the situation (a funeral, AIDS diagnosis, drunken brawl), hilarity is bound to ensue.

There is a funny YT video of a group of guys who play games while drunk - this was one of them.

The description you quoted was TLDR, but I'm going to check it out anyways just because I love card games.

There should be a sports-themed version of this game, IMO; it'd be right up my alley!

You won't find it.

Its made by an independent company and only sold online(Through Amazon in the US, for $25 when it is in stock, if its higher than that, people are buying it and marking it up) and some other website for the Canadian version. Not sure about other countries. They do have the option of a PDF of the base set so you can print it out yourself on cardstock or whatever sort of material you want.
