Happy Halloween everyone! May your costumes be spooky, and may you get a large variety of sweets in your stash. Or, may many of your favourite spooky movies be on.
Halloween was always a love/hate part of my child. Love because of the fun and candy, hate because it reminded me how much money we didn’t have, given I usually had to make costumes out of things we could find at home.
Still, it’s a holiday many look forward to around the world.
I love Saturday Night Live, but there is nothing like the classic Saturday Night Live days with Christopher Walken, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphey, and more.
In this hilarious clip, Steve Martin gets down King Tut style with his “King Tut” song. The beauty of Steve Martin’s comedy is it doesn’t have to be outrageous to be funny. He can have fun with whatever he’s doing and you can’t help but laugh because he’s just plain funny when he’s having a good time.
This video is no different as he sings and dances – Nile style – along with a full entourage of Egyptian musicians and groupies.
If the Steve Martin dressed up as Tut can’t make you laugh, then I have no idea what will.
This video comes from the Live Journal site of someone I met at Conflux. The strange and yet hauntingly beautiful song “Mad World” from the film Donnie Darko is set to clips from the Japanese stop-motion series of sketches called Domo-kun.
If you’re not familiar with either the song or Domo-kun… (more…)
My husband introduced me to Black Books when I came to Australia, and I have loved it ever since. Bernard’s generally sneering outlook on life paired with the other slightly off characters he encounters makes for a show that’s not quite like your usual half-hour show.
This video is the beginning of the first episode of Black Books. I had started with watching it on television, so it was very funny to go back and see what Manny was like before Fran and Bernard became a part of his life.
In this video you meet Bernard, Fran, and Manny and right away you get a taste of Bernard’s ‘unique’ personality. He has no problems making fun of anyone, that’s for sure…
And now, for my final contribution of dug Chaser’s War madness.
In this road test, the Chaser’s decide to test porn video scenarios in the real world to see how real women will react. With scenarios including the handy man and the pizza delivery man, you can be assured this another one of the Chaser’s fine television moments.
There’s something about Australia. If you go to war, you want them on your side. If you want good beer, ask an Aussie. If you want the raunchiest jokes about anyone, including Australians, ask an Aussie.
Now have you ever wondered why Aussies say “Bugger”? (Among the millions of other strange things they say.) (Pronounced “bugga”.)
Well, these two Toyota Hilux commercials might not fully explain it, but it might give you an idea why “bugger” is often even better (and funnier) than swearing.
In this clip of The Chaser’s War on Everything, the Chasers examine late night Christian television.
Me putting this video up was nothing more than a video of something funny I saw, so no hatemail. I think even many of the Christians I know would have a laugh at some of this.
I mean, doing laundry in the love of God…? And the word…that’s the thing…and these words are things so when I say words…
You can’t watch this and not be at least a little confused.
Yes, I’m a little behind on the times, but I don’t have the Disney channel and I wasn’t falling over my feet for the first one. BUT I came across some videos from the second movie, and I’m in a sentimental mood, so I thought I’d put them up.
Plus, they do have decent singing voices.
Enjoy - You are the music in me, Everyday, What Time is it…
Last week I introduced you the Australian show, The Chaser’s War on Everything.
One of the segments they do is called the Ad Road Test, where they take an ad and “find out if the claims made by the advertising companies stack up in the real world.” As in, if you see a commercial where a patron walks into a fast food place, asks a question, and the answer is sung back by the staff, they will go out and test to see if that really happens.
That’s the most basic explanation, but you get what I’m talking about.
In this ad road test, they are testing out the Nicorette ad where a man is offered a cigarette and a pep squad shows up saying, “No, Gary, no.” (shown in the clip) Now, if a pep squad showed up in front of a real smoker in real life, would that stop him from smoking? Watch and find out.
The Chaser’s War on Everything is one of my favorite televisions shows here in Australia. It’s basically another “nothing is sacred” show, but done with taste and leaning more towards big issues like politics and terrorism. That’s not to say they don’t have a pointless clip or two thrown in there, but they’re definitely many large steps above other shows of this type.
In this clip, the Chasers respond in their own way to the terrorist security response here in Australia where they were trying to stop people from filming and taking pictures of famous landmarks.
See what the difference in response is to a man dressed up as an American tourist, and a man dress “slightly different”.
I think I’ve made it pretty clear on this blog that I love Saturday Night Live (especially ‘the good ol’ days’). I loved it even more when I saw this Harry Potter spoof.
Find out what happens when everyone is back from summer vacation and Hermione has…some new special powers.
This started as a pretty funny matrix style ping pong video which was mildly entertaining…
However, I found myself liking it more and more as the boundaries of the scene were stretched - despite the people dressed in black coming into a white background. By that time it didn’t matter because the humor was showing through. The players ‘flew’ around the room trying to get the ping pong ball and at times you could forget the people dressed in black were even there.
I laughed out loud when they moved the table and players around so it was like a smooth camera shot going from one viewpoint to another. Also, the use of the ball attached to a long pole made even more funny things possible.
I am in no way accurately describing the awesomeness of this video. The matrix style ping pong is not only funny, but you can also appreciate the amount of rehearsing and choreography involved in doing such a scene.
When I saw the title of this video, I was highly amused and thought this would be an easy laugh to score, watching one more man talk about how to get women, instead of just asking women. Beyond that, every woman is different, so to say “every woman wants” anything is a bit of a far stretch most of the time.
However, this guy does have some good points some guys could definitely find useful. (more…)
When I first saw this television clip, I couldn’t quite believe it. I thought it was a joke. But as the interview went on, they were completely serious. I even checked out the website, and it truly is a “Romantic Rendezvous [site] for Attached Adults”.
What I find extremely ironic is the woman who is being interviewed was married and met a guy who was married.
They’re both cheaters.
And yet she calmly states her faith in the relationship. Even though they’re both cheaters.
Am I the only one not getting this? I feel like I should be saying “AshleyMadison.com - Making adultery easy.”
Maybe when you see this video, you’ll think “cool” or “humanity has no morals”. Either way, I’m still stunned. I shouldn’t be, given the internet has everything else out there to tempt you, tease you, and pleasure you as much as you want. Still, this amazes me.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has used this, will use this, or would consider using this. Tell me why or even why not if you’re against it.
