Acapella Laughing of Jingle Bells
This was a video that a family friend made for my dad for Christmas about 15 years ago. It’s just now making its YouTube debut:
Ethan Albright vs. John Madden
This is quite possibly the funniest thing that I’ve read all year. It’s a fictitious letter by Redskins long-snapper Ethan Albright to John Madden concerning the fact that Albright is the lowest overall rated player in the Madden 07 video game. I have received the impression that you feel that I am lacking in the [...]
Your 80s Moment of Zen
As we were watching the Ohio State-Iowa game, it came to the mine and a friend’s attention that Leigh Ann didn’t know who Jim McMahon was. As one might expect, the conversation quickly digressed to the Bears’ Super Bowl Shuffle. That led us to this gem on YouTube. Wow. All the cheesiness of the 80s [...]
MC Escher, That’s My Favorite MC
You can say this about Weird Al Yankovic, for over 20 years he’s done a masterful job of capturing the zeitgeist. Now he’s put his latest videos on YouTube from his album Straight Outta Lynwood. These two are hilarious. The lyrics follow below the fold.
Five Things I Don’t Get the Appeal Of
If you can explain any of these to me, please leave a comment. Watching Regular Season Baseball: Really, what’s the point? 162 games per team…are you kidding me? Other than a few games in September, the MLB regular season’s only function is to generate stats for Fantasy Baseball players and bean counters who want to [...]
Jack Bauer Facts
To follow-up the Bruce Schneier Facts, someone pointed me to Jack Bauer Facts (Wikipedia Entry for Jack Bauer). Some of my favorites: When a convicted terrorist was sentenced to face Jack Bauer, he appealed to have the sentence reduced to death. The city of Los Angeles once named a street after Jack Bauer in gratitude [...]
Samuel L. Jackson Has a Problem…
Just watch the clip to see what it is: The most anticipated movie of the year (literally) starts this Friday. I don’t think you’ll find another 2006 movie with as long of a Wikipedia entry.
Bruce Schneier Facts
This is just uber-geeky. In the spirit of Churck Norris facts, the author has given us facts about computer security guru Bruce Schneier. I find it hilarious. Some of my favorites: Bruce Schneier was only allowed to view the Kryptos sculpture at Langley for 1 second, in order not to spoil the fun other cryptographers. [...]
So You Had a Bad Day
Here’s a link to a blog with some rather entertaining photos.
Go Ahead and Be Evil, Google
Here’s a funny article that imagines what products could Google bring to the market if they decided to abandon their “Don’t Be Evil” motto. Google Murder Why pay top dollar for a professional hit man when an amateur will do it for a few bucks and a good alibi? Google could leverage the technology behind [...]
Smug Alert
I saw the South Park episode this week entitled Smug Alert! (Wikipedia episode summary). Hilarious. Basically, one of the characters gets a hybrid car and immediately becomes “smug”. He thinks he’s better than everyone else and starts always talking with his eyes closed. When he decides South Park is too backwards for him, he decides [...]
Dover, Pennsylvania Better Look Out
If Pat Robertson has a vendetta against Dover, Pennsylvania, they should be extra scared now. Not only did God leave their city in response to school board election, but thanks to his “Age-Defying Shake”, it looks like Pat now has the physical superpowers to single-handedly wipe the city out of existence: Did you know that [...]
Best Joke I’ve Heard in a While
The CIA is looking to hire a new assassin for their department. After going through the initial screening, they narrow the field to three candidates: two guys and a woman. The CIA invites each of the applicants to their facility for one final test before they are offered the job. The first guy shows up [...]
Apple Pwns Little Girl
Before Steve Jobs starts running Disney, he might want to figure out how corporations should deal with those little rug rats that we call kids. When 9-year-old Shea O’Gorman and her third-grade class began learning about writing business and formal letters, she thought who better to write to than the chief executive of the company [...]
Caption of the Day
Move along folks. Nothing to see here…just your typical Champaign-Urbana pothole. DOT is supposed to fix it next week. Link to the real story.
Montage of Bushisms
Our friend Ben was telling us about this hilarious clip of Dubya telling us one of his favorite sayings. So, I stumbled across this montage which includes that clip among some of Bush’s other greatest hits…enjoy, Ben!
Funniest Video Clip You’ll See Today
This is one of my all time favorites on Google Video. I’d recommend turning the sound off on your computer before playing it…I find it more hilarious without the goofy commentary.
Chuck Norris Reads Ten Chuck Norris Facts
This video is great…Chuck Norris reads a Top Ten List of Chuck Norris Facts and reveals his personal favorite.
Why Are US Airlines Going Bankrupt?
I don’t think you could find one quote to sum it up better than my pilot did upon landing in Chicago: Our on time arrival apparently caught the gate agent completely by surprise. We have called and they said they’re on their way.
Coolest Judge Ever
What’s that, Your Honor? Did you just quote Billy Madison in your opinion? Or, in the words of the competition judge to Adam Sandler’s title character in the movie “Billy Madison,” after Billy Madison had responded to a question with an answer that sounded superficially reasonable but lacked any substance, “Mr Madison, what you’ve just [...]
