It’s Tuesday, I’m overheated from power walking at the nearby park, and feeling gross from the 32oz Gatorade I just drained, so it seems like the perfect time to point you towards several videos that have been amusing me lately.
Most of these are fairly recent creations; one or two of them are older, but new to me. Enjoy.
Funny or Die managed to get together all the guys who have ever played Presidents on SNL for a short video, and the results were pretty awesome:
Toby Jones runs several small businesses, and has created several commercials to educate you on his various services:
OK Go might be a terrible band, and their song “This Too Shall Pass” might blow a donkey, but the video for the song is pure genius: a gigantic Rube Goldberg filmed in one take:
Every year, for the last five or so years, Scalzi relinks to it, and every year I reread it because a) it’s so damn funny, and b) I generally forget what most of the entries were. I also get jealous every year after I read it, because I would be hard-pressed to come up with anything so nearly as clever.
My favorite of the bunch is “The Lost Star Trek Christmas Episode: ‘A Most Illogical Holiday.’” It’s hilarious, and it’s about Star Trek, so what’s not to like? Here is a brief snippet:
Mr. Spock, with his pointy ears, is hailed as a messiah on a wintry world where elves toil for a mysterious master, revealed to be Santa just prior to the first commercial break. Santa, enraged, kills Ensign Jones and attacks the Enterprise in his sleigh. As Scotty works to keep the power flowing to the shields, Kirk and Bones infiltrate Santa’s headquarters. With the help of the comely and lonely Mrs. Claus, Kirk is led to the heart of the workshop, where he learns the truth: Santa is himself a pawn to a master computer, whose initial program is based on an ancient book of children’s Christmas tales.
To find out what happens to Captain Kirk & Co. next, go to Scalzi’s site. The Star Trek one is the fourth down. But while you’re there, you may as well read the rest. They’re worth it.
This guy I know, Nick Pappagiorgio, filmed a short movie with some of his friends. It is many things: charming, awkward, and more than a little NSFW. After watching it, you will probably feel somewhat discomforted. I know I was.
A scene from a masterpiece: Massacre on the Interstate. The dialog has not been edited and is read exactly how it’s written in the novel. There are 3 verbal additions, however, though they’re tasteful and only enhance the viewing experience.
In this scene, a man buys a hooker and is happy he shaved off all his pubic hairs.
Just out and about quite a bit lately. I’m off work this entire week, which is swell, and have just been busy playing Starcraft, NBA Jam, writing, hanging out, and gambling.
More later. And in case I don’t post again before Christmas (which seems probable), I hope everyone has a fantastic, secular Christmas, and leave you with this (via Tom tomorrow):
If you’re feeling particularly brave, click through to watch a short video clip demonstrating “The Dangers of Anal Sex.” (Oh, and if you couldn’t figure it out from the title, the video is certainly NSFW.)
My heart goes out to that poor, poor cracked-out woman and her now misshapen rectum.
