| '''Zombo.com''' is a humorous ] created on ], ]. The site consists solely of a single ] animation of the website's title and seven circles of alternating colours. The animation's voice-over, which has a vague African accent, repeatedly welcomes the viewer to the web site and claims that the viewer can do anything they want without any limitations at Zombo.com. However, when the introduction is finished, instead of a link to the main zombo.com website, it simply provides a link to the defunct Zombo.com newsletter for a few seconds and then goes back to the start. The dot (".") in the ] is not pronounced in the animation; instead the site is referred to as "Zombocom". The site has become well known as an ]. | |||

| The site is believed by some to be a ] of much of the advertising of the ], as it seems to hype up an interesting service but does not offer one. However, its creator, Josh Levine of 15footstick.com, intended it to be nothing more than a piece of absurdist comedy. | |||
| As for the site's name, Levine has explained it thusly in an email from 2001:{{Fact|date=June 2007}} | |||
| :''well as it turns out zombo is an african word, a region in angola and an african surname amongst other things. i chose the name based on a different definition however. a friend of mine used the word, "zombo" to refer to a male ] (a zombie being female) which is what she learned in her english class. she also learned from this same teacher that bartender is used for the male gender and bartendee the female. | |||
| :''i thought that this little apparent misconception was so cool that i decided to make a song about zombo: | |||
| ::''everyone knows he is zombo ''/no no he's not zoro ''/zoro leaves a mark that's a z ''/but zombo doesn't leave anything ''/zoro needs a mask just to see ''/but zombo doesn't need anything... | |||
| :''and when it came time to name the web site the name zombo just sort of popped up.'' | |||
| In the same email Levine mentioned that he does not intend to change the site from its current form. | |||

Zombo.com is a recurring internet meme. The site consists of nothing more than an adobe flash application that displays zombo.com along the top and pastel dots appearing below it in a circle, and a male voice that says: "Welcome to zombo-com. This is zombo-com... You can do anything at zombo-com. Anything at all. The only limit is yourself."
Aside from humor, it appears to serve no purpose.
