A Mr. Show Skit

2010-02-18T16:54:00.001-06:00

This video sprang to mind just before lunch today. I forget why, exactly, but that's not important. The important thing is that I correctly remembered that it was from Mr. Show, and my brother did not. Oh, and it's somewhat funny, so there's that.

This music video is real video footage of the apex of human happiness. Really. Every day, people try to be as happy as these people, but it just isn't possible. No better time has been known before or after this event. I dare you to post a comment showing a happier time - just try...

Moon Patrol

2009-10-11T08:49:00.004-05:00

In honor of NASA's recent attack on the moon, sending explosives to kick up dust looking for signs of water, I thought it would be appropriate to give credit to the originators of the idea. For four glorious seasons, Bob and David delighted America's funny bone on their beloved Mr. Show. But they were doing so much more. They were conditioning us for the brave new world where we do daily battle with celestial bodies. One day the moon will bow before us and Earth shall reign supreme.

More News That Isn't Fit to Print

2009-10-08T07:00:00.005-05:00

To continue on the theme of news anchors dropping the F-bomb, here is a classic of Sue Simmons dismayed that her geriatric co-anchor is still reading his notes while she's delivering her segue into the next story. True to her talents, her delivery is perefect!

Keep Fuckin' That Chicken

2009-10-07T09:37:00.005-05:00

This has to be my new favorite phrase of the year. It's a perfect combination of offensive and funny, all while capturing that positive can-do spirit. Sometimes you think you've given that chicken everything you've got, but all it takes is some helpful encouraging words to keep at it a little longer.

Assignment: try working it into a sentence today.
Extra Credit: try working it into a sentence today at work.

If you're lucky enough to be on the receiving end of these inspirational words, it's appropriate to reply with a courteous, "Oh, I'm gonna fuck that chicken into nuggets!"

80s Ridiculous Video of the Week: #2

2009-03-07T00:00:00.003-06:00

I could probably do this feature for a couple more years with nothing but clips from Hard Ticket to Hawaii if there wasn't so much nudity. Andy Sidaris sure did know how to make one hell of a sexy movie. It's just too bad the blow-up doll is the best actor in the film. So, which do you think is the more ridiculous scene: the video below, or last week's clip?

80s Ridiculous Video of the Week: #1

2009-02-28T00:00:00.004-06:00

It's time for a new weekly feature: 80s Ridiculous Video of the Week. Every Saturday, the 80s will make a comeback. Just about any 30-second clip shot from 1980-1989 was ridiculous, so this is probably the easiest idea for a regular feature ever.

This week's video is a clip from Hard Ticket To Hawaii. It may very well be the epitome of 80s ridiculousness, but we'll try every Saturday find something that outdoes it.

Boom Goes the Dynamite

2009-02-22T23:38:00.006-06:00

Aside from the Steve Martin/Tina Fey banter, the Oscars were pretty ho-hum, until that is, I heard Will Smith say "boom goes the dynamite". Wow, two worlds collide. I feel sorry that this poor guy's worst day ever, which before now was "just" a viral video on the web, has now made it to prime time on the Oscars. Sorry dude.

The Return of Juaquin

2009-02-13T00:00:00.000-06:00

Juaquin's train wreck continues, this time on Letterman. I would have to say Dave was masterful at making a silk purse out an R&B wannabe. He is still supposedly just playing another part and this will all get balled up in a pseudo documentary - who knows, maybe the next Spinal Tap. Somehow I doubt it. Hopefully this is more enjoyable than the last Phoenix catastrophe.

David After the Dentist

2009-02-12T21:34:00.003-06:00

One of the bad things about my childhood is that it happened so long ago. Before the internet. Had I been born more recently, I would surely be famous and/or arrested. For example, you would be able to watch a video of me beating Mario Kart 64 with my feet (the famous part) and also a video of me in Kindergarten during my infamous grandpa/blowjob story (the arrested part). So unlike me, this kid will now become famous and most likely arrested sometime in the future... lucky bastard.

Joaquin Phoenix "Raps"

2009-01-20T08:07:00.004-06:00

Joaquin Phoenix, whose first name mocks every English pronunciation rule in the book, recently announced his departure from the acting community to pursue a career in music. It sounded plausible enough after more than holding his own in Walk the Line as the gritty, tortured country legend Johnny Cash. Well he has finally unveiled his golden egg, but it has a suspiciously shit brown color to it. But as they say in... well, let's just leave it at "as they say"... shit brown is the new gold. Enjoy, if you dare.

Talking to my brother tonight, I was comparing something or other to one of those squirrel obstacle courses, which I assumed everybody had seen or heard about. He looked at me blankly, like an untaken test, so he suggested that I make tonight's video one of these so-called "squirrel obstacle courses". Well, bro, here's what the hell I was talkin' about.

You've probably asked yourself countless times as you lay there at the end of the night, trying to fall asleep, "When will Henry Rollins and Ann Coulter finally shack up?". It's like watching a tortured episode of Who's the Boss, where yet again Tony and Angela come "this" close to getting it on, only to have Samantha walk in at just the wrong moment and fuck it all up. Stupid kids. Well Dirty Henry has finally extended the olive branch and written a good ol' fashioned love note. I look forward to seeing their sex tape and articles about their fucked up kid soon!

Yeah, it was the good old days. Moonlighting was a hit. Pastels were hot.

A Parody that Palins in Comparison

2008-10-07T00:00:00.000-05:00

Some people are just parody-proof. Take, for examle, David Caruso. Try to parody him... I dare you. Couldn't do it, could you? That's because Mr. Caruso is his own best parody, and by doing nothing more than simply existing (part of which involves having blindingly electric red hair).

But parodying these type of people is not without cause... because it brings the self and self-parody into glaring relief.

So here is a parody followed by the actual parody. Confused? Good. So is she.

2008-09-30T00:00:00.005-05:00

Being a musical comedian has many advantages. The audience doesn't get tired of your material as quickly when it's set to music, and it's easy to split it up and market singles. Most importantly, it somehow gives you the freedom to be as offensive as you want without actually offending people.

My grandfather used to take me to Showbiz Pizza regularly so I could watch the herky-jerky animatronic robot machines perform their songs. I never got a chance to apologize to him for having to endure all of those rockin' songs for kids, but apparently no apologies are in order. They actually appealed to kids at one level, but attended to the adults on another - kinda like whip cream and Britney Spears.

It's All About the Pentiums

To me this is Weird Al's true masterpiece. Even though this is years old, the tech lingo is still spot on - and he throws it at a blistering 2400 baud rate. And for an extra bonus, he manages to get in a jab on Helen Keller. Man if she heard what he was saying about her... oh, wait...

A Social Uprising

2008-03-15T10:35:00.005-05:00

This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Right now, as we speak, a new beginning of rock mayhem is being born. I have located footage of one of the so called rock training camps, where children no older than 4 years of age are being groomed, nay brainwashed, to join the rock legions and terrorize all that is pleasant and melodic. My only hope is that we can fight this frightening future together by spreading the word and being on dutiful lookout for these subversive elements and bring them to justice! Your mission is clear, now go forth and fight!

The Other Piano Man

2008-03-14T21:49:00.003-05:00

Billy Joel doesn't have to sweat life too much. He's filthy rich, has been married to a supermodel, wrote some of the greatest rock n' roll hits of all time, and really is a pretty bad ass musician. He doesn't have to take shit from nobody! But, there is one man Billy Joel fears more than all. This man can outplay, out-sing, and even out-fuck the one and only Billy J. But when it comes to looks, they're just about dead even.

I can't quite find the right word to describe how that makes me feel, but it is something along the lines of embarrassed, ashamed, and mortified. But then I found this blooper medley and the first clip made me truly believe that everybody should really, really, REALLY like game show blooper clips as much as I really, really, REALLY do:

Actually, on second thought, their racks are probably among their better assets. However, their sense of humor is not quite as... um, fully developed. You would think with all the interviews they have surely endured, they would be well trained on the meaningless banter that usually goes back and forth during a comedic interview. But Posh seems more like a showbiz rookie in one of my favorite Jon Stewart interviews ever:

Roll the Dice

I had lunch (bread, mead) with my brother (charisma 15, dexterity 18) today, and he was telling (shout spell) me how he has a crazy (bezerk spell) dungeons and (frost) dragons day planned with a few (1D6 = 3) of his friends (strength 14, constitution 17) this weekend. Now to his defense (armor class 8), he is not a regular gamer, so he still has pretty good Vegas odds (2D12 + 4) of getting laid, but this news has the statisticians (strength 5, intelligence 23) reworking their models.

So in honor of the heroic conquests ahead of him, here is today's clip:

The original clip. Actual Ozzy performance that is, yes, over the top, but also rockin’ (only need to watch enough for comparison purposes)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWAohdmCl4o

Then there’s the St. Sanders version. He overdubs legitimately awesome solos with hilarious fake renditions that, shall we say, lack the caliber of the originals.

He’s done a bunch more, so check ‘em out. The Metallica, Clapton, and Santana videos are especially enjoyable.

Jimmy Kimmel's Comeback

So, as most of you probably have already seen, and hopefully via this here blog, Sarah Silverman is fucking Matt Damon; however, after a fairly boring Oscars in my opinion, there was a not so boring comeback by her husband and TV show host Jimmy Kimmel. This just sealed my vote for Jimmy Kimmel to take over late night TV. And the number of cameos they got for this is unreal...

History of the Internet 101

2008-02-19T07:40:00.000-06:00

This might be a review for some of you, but it'll do you good to see it again.

This is really old, taking me back to my early college years (8 years or so - yikes!)... Flash was just starting to catch on and the beginning of the widespread internet video world was taking foot in places like shockwave.com and icebox.com to name a few.

Watching this is like watching a film from the 1920s. By todays standards it looks amateur, and you can all but see footage of Joe Sparks at his computer overusing and abusing Flash's features with little or no relevance to the plot, but Radiskull and Devil Doll ruled the internet world for a short time (really, they made and sold stuffed devil dolls and everything), only to return to hell where they rule for all eternity. . .

The music is still really great, with a lot of inspiration from early Beastie Boys.

Here is the first in the series of eight:
http://www.atomfilms.com/film/radiskull1_devil_doll.jsp?channelKeyword=channel_radiskull

After the first three episodes it really goes down hill, but if you can stomach the first half of the second one, I urge you to at least watch all three - you'll get extra credit points:

There's no reason or sense to this video, but nevertheless, it inspires just the same. Imagine if you kidnapped Les Claypool, tied him to a chair, and made him "sing" (because saying Les Claypool sings is really a stretch) a song of your choosing. Yep, I think we would all arrive at this same video. Though you should know, it's not actually Les singing, no, it's someone even cooler.

This clip really sums up the magnitude of the social importance of a certain video game on my generation. Its every sound effect is permanently etched on our brains. It doesn't feel like it was made by a corporation with a marketing team, engineering staff, board meetings, and blah blah blah. No, it feels more like the third stone tablet handed down by God himself.

A Certain Wrist Injury Won't Stop This Man

It's pretty inspiring to see what people can achieve in the face of adversity. This is chiefly noticeable when watching old live footage of Def Leppard, but there are many others that have also overcome adversity to do great things. Deaf composers, short NBA players, plus-size models, Carrot Top... the list goes on.

But this able news team dug a little deeper and found an example of a man with true courage despite the fact that he is afflicted with one of the most debilitating of conditions.

I'm the Internet Video Guy. I scour the web for video clips worthy of your valuable time. So bookmark this page, check it daily, and instantly improve the quality of your life - it's really that easy!

The first video in this series is a little gem that pays much needed praise to the B-52s - that quirky band out of Atlanta, GA that got people gettin' it on in shacks in the 80s. Bizarre yes, but strangely the acting is far less bizarre than the actual song. I can imagine the look on the sound engineer's face when they were laying down the vocals.
