I Sit On You, Lint Licker!

From the phenomenally hilarious to the udderly strange...

Babs and Mr. A-OK (Ryan) may not know it, but they had the recent chance to get me hooked on a new guilty pleasure, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! This show is just too strange for words, with various short skits featuring animation and live action stars (including John C. Reilly, David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, and Will Forte).

So today, I lead with one of the strangest bits I've seen on the show:

Now on to the ad game, and the one that's been sticking out in EVERYBODY'S minds (and vocabulary) lately (this one is SFW, although the tone may not indicate it). Here is the extended version:

Seriously - not a day goes by lately that I don't hear somebody referred to as a "Lint Licker" or a "Cootie Queen!"

I leave you today with what is probably the best (read: "funniest," NSFW) bit in this post (one that had me laughing harder the longer it went on) - a video brought to us by Sr. Mario J.:

"Who designed this fucking level?!"

Seriously - I'm crying!!

Until next time, true believers - Stay Dirty (and or Awkward)!

Revenge, Soap, and Milkshakes

It takes something like this to get me back into the blogospheres...

(Let me preface this by saying that the videos below are worth EVERY second of your time - you WILL NOT laugh harder for quite some time - or at least the next 10 minutes.)

As I've blogged about before, Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon have had a little "feud," shall we say, going on over the years. Matt has been invited as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live countless times over the past few years, only to be shuffled off stage as Jimmy conveniently "runs out of time..."

So a little while back, Jimmy's girlfriend, Sarah Silverman, presented Jimmy with a music video she had produced just for him, to let him in on a little something that had been going on in her personal life. Here's that video (as sent to me by Sammy, Ariel, Heather, my mom, and several others):

"She's f*cking Matt Damon!"

Fast forward to last night... Jimmy took the opportunity of a lifetime - his cushy post-Oscar telecast - to deliver a little revenge. And as we all know from the Klingon proverb, "Revenge is a dish best served cold." Here's Jimmy's video retaliation (fucking CLASSIC!):

"He's f*cking Ben Affleck!"

Seriously - that one is like a who's-who of A-listers, right? Like a We Are The World for Gen-Y!

Before I leave you with that, I've got a few other thoughts that have come across my scattered brain lately:

Did you know that there's a difference between a Lotion Dispenser and a Soap Dispenser?

Neither did I - until I had a strange visit to Bed, Bath, and Beyond recently. Part of decorating my new house has been the accessorizing of the bathrooms. I bought a nice looking (and still masculine) set for my bathroom, which included a dispenser that wouldn't dispense. Upon my attempt to exchange said dispenser for a working model, this tasty bit of knowledge was dropped on me. The solution offered by the store manager: "Just dilute it with some water - it'll work fine."

It does, but I still feel a little cheated with my watery-soapy-goo-dispenser...

Can anybody tell me the difference between Durmot Mulroney and Dylan McDermott?
How about Taye Diggs and Tyson Beckford?
And Jon's wondering how to tell the difference between Michael Madsen and Tom Sizemore...
I'm just sayin...

I haven't plugged in my PC in over two months (in fact, it's still sitting in my trunk) - and I'm OK with that... LOVE my MacBook and my iMac...

I'm SO happy to have LOST back!

Finally, a brilliant clip from this past Saturday Night Live (the first back from the strike), and an homage to Daniel Day Lewis' Oscar winner, There Will Be Blood:

"I drink YOUR MILKSHAKE!"

Thanks for your patience... I'll be back much sooner next time!

Dear Diary...

It's been 2,003 days (yes, seriously) since my last cigarette... Sure, I could use one (especially today), but really - who'd want to break a streak like that??

Just dropping in to tell you all that I'm still alive... A few points of interest:

Irregardless means the same thing as regardless, although the former is not generally accepted... In fact, as I type this, spellcheck is reminding me that irregardless is, in fact, NOT a word, but Webster's disagrees... Likewise - as we learned from The Simpsons - inflammable means flammable.

1.31.08 - LOST has been moved up!!

Every Day Should Be Saturday!

The State is toying with my emotions...

For Jon: If somebody does a quick mood change, they are NOT doing a "Complete 360." A "Complete 180," maybe, but never a "Complete 360." A "Complete 360" would imply that they have not only changed their mood, but returned fully to their original mood in the same fell swoop, and thus would not even be worth mentioning in the first place...

My whole childhood was a lie. First, I had to come to the realization that my mother did NOT invent this trick:

Then, just the other day, I learned that Grenadine (you know that sweet red syrup you used as a kid to make a Shirley Temple or a Roy Rogers - the one that you now use as an adult in a Tequila Sunrise and various other potent potables) is NOT Cherry flavored. What flavor is it, you ask? It's the oh-so-trendy Pomegranate, and it has ALWAYS been! LIES!!

I digress...

Last week I made my Switch complete, and purchased my SECOND Mac - an iMac (24", 2.8 GHz Core 2 Extreme!). I don't ever remember being so happy with a computer decision! Five years ago, I wouldn't be caught dead speaking those words...

Groundhog Day

No, I'm not making reference to the classic (and hilarious) Bill Murray movie about getting a second (or third, or fourth, or fifteenth chance to do your life over), although any post would be lucky to have such a topic.

No, instead, I'm referring to the date of Groundhog Day - February 2. February 2, 2008 to be exact. It can't come fast enough.

That my friends, is the tentative date for the LOST Season 4 premiere!

Need a fix in the meantime? Well, you've got a few choices.

First up - the official LOST site @ ABC.com. What's there, you ask? A great NEW video - the Orchid Station Orientation. This one just begins to delve into a little bit of time shift!!

Need more? For the 13 weeks prior to the start of the season, ABC is treating us to Mobisodes - both on cellphones and on a sub-site at ABC.com. Known as the Missing Pieces, these little clips fill in some blanks that we may not have thought about before - just whetting the appetite that much more... (Mobisodes 1 and 2 are up now, 3 is coming Monday.)

Finally, I was playing around a little more on Hulu, and found this great SNL clip, which got me thinking again about the upcoming season:

"You're The Best"

Vixy.net is a web-based application that allows you to convert all Flash-based videos (i.e. YouTube, MySpace Video, etc.) into various offline usable formats (MPEG for Windows, Quicktime for Mac, mp4 for iPod or PSP, etc.). Another feature it has is the ability to just strip the audio and convert to mp3 (and we all know where that's usable).

So I was recently helping a friend on his hunt for an mp3 of the song "You're The Best," by Joe Esposito. Many of you would know this classic from The Karate Kid. As iTunes only allows this song to be purchased as part of the entire soundtrack (whole album) to The King of Kong (more on that here), I decided to get creative and look for a video with the song on YouTube (and subsequently convert it to mp3 via Vixy). In my search, I came across this gem:

F'ing Classic!!

F'n Ron Mexico

For those of you who don't know, about two years ago, Michael Vick allegedly had a torrid affair with a pretty young lady, and left her with "The Herp." The best part of the story - in his dalliance, he used the pseudonym "Ron Mexico." Where do people come up with these things?!

Anyways, herpes is the least of Vick's worries, and the least of what should be inflicted upon him after his latest scandal...

Again, for those who don't know, Michael Vick is making headlines for being charged with animal cruelty and running a dogfighting ring - sending Pit Bulls and other dogs into a ring to fight to the death, amongst other forms of torture.

If you ask me, it's absolutely nauseating, and if he is found guilty, I think he should be hit with the hardest penalties possible. Horrible!

Anyways, the backlash and parodies are starting to pour in, starting with local (to me, anyways) morning show Paul & Young Ron, from Big 105.9, sending their intern/assistant producer/bitch "Oh My God" Mike out into a field with only a dog-training suit, a bunch of meat, and a Michael Vick jersey... Here's what ensued:



Oh wait - it gets better!



This is "Vick's Chew Toy."

A company has cut through small amounts of red tape and verbiage to release what is now known as "Vick's Chew Toy." Formerly known as the "Vick Chew Toy," the doggie revenge device carried too similar a likeness to his Vickness and his Atlanta Falcons jersey, and had to be remodeled... Thus, it doesn't look exactly like Ron Mexico, but it gets the point across.

Paris should be expecting hers on or after September 7... :)

For those of you who don't watch the brilliant Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jimmy has a long standing joke with/against Matt Damon, in that every time Matt is scheduled to appear on his show, he is scheduled for the last slot on the show, and subsequently gets bumped for a later date. In fact, to bring you up to speed, here's a clip reel from Jimmy's Anniversary/Salute To Jimmy episode that gives lots of those moments:

Well, now Jimmy has worked his way into Matt's film career, as he's made "arrangements" to have Matt bumped from his own film in favor of a new star, the "younger, hotter, Mexican-er" Guillermo - his parking lot security guard:

10. They didn't pay the referees enough.

8. Ate too many delicious buckeye candies before the game.
7. Someone spiked the Gatorade.
6. It doesn't matter because they should have been playing Michigan instead.
5. Too much SEC speed.
4. The team was thrown off by seeing Oden on the court for so long.
3. Couldn't shoot because the game was played in a dome.
2. They didn't want to show up the football team.
1. They were rusty because they had a longer layoff than the Gators.

F'n Petyon Manning

I'm not a big fan of Peyton Manning. Quite frankly, I loathe him. First, I had to deal with him in college, when he challenged my beloved Gators (albeit, never successfully). Then, he really fucked me over by earning this year's Super Bowl MVP while twisting the stake in my heart, as my Bears went home empty handed.

Fucking Peyton Manning.

That's why I'm so ashamed that I couldn't stop laughing at this skit from this past weekend's Saturday Night Live, where Peyton works with some kids from The United Way:

"I can't even look at you. You know what? Go sit in the Port-O-Let for 20 minutes. That's right - you stay in there."

"Why is the door open?! Close the door! Stay in there!"

Yes, you read that right. Apparently, at a recent show by heavy metal/hair band throwback rockers Metal Skool in Cali, Romo and Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding, of Saved By The Bell fame) jumped on stage to join the band in a rousing rendition of the classic.

Instead, I'm gonna spend the day with my best friends, cheering on Da Bears, and taking in Lou Malnati's Pizza and Vienna Beef Hot Dogs (shipped directly from Chicago). If I can't go to Da Bears, I'm bringing Chicago to me! :)

And to help celebrate Da Bears appearance in Super Bowl XLI, I've got a few celebrity predictions for you below... Please enjoy:

First, an original (Bob Swerski's Super Fans):


Next, my personal favorite (Bob Swerski's Super Fans - with Michael Jordan):


And, finally, a current perspective (Conan O'Brien):


And, finally, from the Manning family vaults:


Nice fucking Tango, Peyton...

Just over 8 hours to go...! I'll leave you with one last thought:
Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Make every play, clear the way to victory!
Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly!

We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation,
With your T formation.

Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
And let them know why you're wearing the crown.

You're the pride and joy,
of all Illinois.

Chicago Bears, Bear Down!

iPhone Unboxed

I'm not quite sure if I can officially call it iPhone yet, so for now, we'll just call it iPhone.

There's a growing trend on the interwebs (as the kids call it) nowadays. Folks are taking pictures of the "unboxing" of their new gadgets/toys/gear. I've even got friends who have gotten in on the fun...

Click below for a group of guys who got together and "unboxed" their very own iPhone... Sure, it's a fake iPhone, but that's half the fun...

So, I saw this clip on SNL this past weekend and laughed my ass off... I was all ready to put it up, but I figured that by the time I got it onto the blog-o-sphere, it'd be down... Such is not the case...

Chanukah vs. Christmas

Courtesy of my Mom:

Now, if anyone asks you what the difference is between Christmas and Chanukah you will know what and how to answer!

1. Christmas is one day, same day every year, December 25. Jews also love December 25th. It's another paid day off work. We go to the movies and out for Chinese food and Israeli dancing (ok, not really on that one). Chanukah is 8 days. It starts the evening of the 24th of Kislev, whenever that falls. No one is ever sure. Jews never know until a non-Jewish friend asks when Chanukah starts, forcing us to consult a Hebrew calendar so we don't look like idiots. We all have the same calendar, provided free with a donation from the World Jewish Congress, the kosher butcher, or the local Sinai Memorial Chapel (especially in Florida) or other Jewish funeral home.

2. Christmas is a major holiday. Chanukah is a minor holiday with the same theme as most Jewish holidays. They tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat.

3. Christians get wonderful presents such as jewelry, perfume, stereos, etc. Jews get practical presents such as underwear, socks or the collected works of the Rambam, which looks impressive on the bookshelf.

4. There is only one way to spell Christmas. No one can decide how to spell Chanukah, Chanukkah, Chanukka, Channukah, Hanukah, Hannukah, etc.

5. Christmas is a time of great pressure for husbands and boyfriends. Their partners expect special gifts. Jewish men are relieved of that burden. No one expects a diamond ring on Hanukah.

6. Christmas brings enormous electric bills. Candles are used for Chanukah. Not only are we spared enormous electric bills, but we get to feel good about not contributing to the energy crisis.

7. Christmas carols are beautiful...Silent Night, Come All Ye Faithful. Chanukah songs are about dreidels made from clay, or having a party and dancing the hora. Of course, we are secretly pleased that many of the beautiful carols were composed and written by our tribal brethren. And don't Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond sing them beautifully?

8. A home preparing for Christmas smells wonderful like the sweet smell of cookies and cakes baking. Happy people are gathered around in festive moods. A home preparing for Chanukah smells of oil, potatoes and onions. The home, as always, is full of people all talking at once.

9. Christian women have fun baking Christmas cookies. Jewish women burn their eyes and cut their hands grating potatoes and onions for latkes (Potato Pancakes for you goyim) on Chanukah. Another reminder of our suffering through the ages.

10. Parents deliver presents to their children during Christmas. Jewish parents have no qualms about withholding a gift on any of the eight nights.

11. The players in the Christmas story have easy to pronounce names such as Mary, Joseph and Jesus. The players in the Chanukah story are Antiochus, Judah Maccabee and Matta whatever. No one can spell it or pronounce it. On the plus side, we can tell our friends anything, and they believe we are wonderfully versed in our history.

12. Many Christians believe in the virgin birth. Jews think, "Yossela, Bubela, snap out of it. Your woman is pregnant, you didn't sleep with her and now you want to blame God? Here's the phone number of my shrink."

13. In recent years, Christmas has become more and more commercialized. The same holds true for Chanukah, even though it is a minor holiday. It makes sense. How could we market a major holiday such as Yom Kippur? "Forget about celebrating. Think observing. Come to synagogue, starve yourself for 27 hours, become one with your dehydrated soul, beat your chest, confess your sins, a guaranteed good time for you and your family. Tickets are a mere $200 per person." Better stick with Chanukah!

"My Name-A Borat"

So JKaye came through HUGE with passes to tonight's sneak preview/early screening of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, a.k.a. Borat.

For those of you who don't know, Borat is the genius creation/alter-ego of Sacha Baron Cohen, a Cambridge-educated actor/director from London. You may know him better as Ali G, or from this summer's big hit, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, where he played Jean Girrard, the gay, French F1/Nascar driver...

Honestly, I can't wait! I could use a big laugh, and from all of the reviews I've heard so far, I should definitely make a stop at the restroom BEFORE stepping foot in to the theater.

(Yeah, that was kinda gross...)

Anyways, I digress. Twentieth Century Fox has been nice enough to give us the first 4 minutes of the movie free on YouTube (or as Babylon calls it, GooTube). Check it out, and be sure to see the movie when it opens next week:

Boys & Girls... ACTION!

"Action! ACTION!"

Finally...! After many years of begging and pleading that included the releases of Reno 911!, Stella, Wet Hot American Summer, and Skits & Stickers (not necessarily in that order), The State is HERE!

The State was a classic sketch comedy show that aired on MTV back in the day (1993-1995) before getting brought over to sister station CBS and falling apart like Swiss cheese. Memorable skits included $240 Worth of Pudding ("Awwwww yeaaaaahhhh..."), Doug ("I'm outta heeeeeerrrreee"), and Louie ("I wanna dip my BALLS in it!"), and had viewers (I was a loyal one) laughing their asses off every week.

Until now, the only way to get any of this footage was to purchase the VHS (what is VHS?) Skits & Stickers, or to trade among the rabid fanbase. Now, there's an alternative!



That's right - The State has finally hit iTunes - starting today! Season One is all there! Just click on the image above to be magically transported to the iTunes page...

As a bonus, I've decided to include the classic clip below. Seriously - I've seen Babylon laugh pretty hard before, but this clip actually induced his dead-on impression of the new Tickle Me Elmo (or, "TMX" for those in the know):

Vader = Smartass?

It's been a while since I posted any videos, and since I was abruptly awaken by the carpet cleaning guy this morning, I needed a good laugh to start the day...

You think Darth Vader ever has one of those days where he's just giddy and having fun fucking around with everybody?



From Chasing Amy:
Hooper X (Dwight Ewell): Check this shit. You got cracker farm boy Luke Skywalker; Nazi poster boy - blond hair, blue eyes. And then you got Darth Vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, Nubian God!
Banky Edwards (Jason Lee): What's a "Nubian"?
Hooper: Shut the fuck up!

Banky: But Vader turns out to be Luke's father. And in Jedi, they become friends.
Hooper: Don't make me bust a cap in your ass, yo! Jedi's the most insulting installment. Because Vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!
Banky: Well, isn't that true?
Hooper: BLACK RAGE!

I'm pretty certain CNN anchor Kyra Phillips was having a worse day than I was the other day. Not only did she disparage her sister-in-law on national television, but she did it while she left her mic on while she was in the bathroom. Seriously.

LBC: Okee dokee.

Balls, Beer, & Booty!

Did I say I'd post the Founder's Cup results on "July 25?" Well, by
"July 25," what I was actually saying was "August 1!"

We had such a great time last weekend!

First, I'd like to start by thanking The Babylons and TrippMD for making the hike down to Bicentennial Park in Miami to watch the tournament. It meant SO MUCH to have you guys there...

I'd also like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Wrestling, who made it as far as I-395, before the floodgates opened, and the tourney was interrupted...

Last, but certainly not least, I'd like to thank Tracy, Jessica, Maria, Jeff, Missy, Karen, Meena, and The Judds for showing their support for UVL!

Now, on to the results of the Pirate-themed tournament (hence the title of this blog post):


(We are... UVL!!!)
(Photo Courtesy of South Florida Sun-Sentinel /Mike Stocker)

Game 1: AA All-Stars 2, UVL 1
Sure, we lost our first game, but we were so proud of our performance! Going into the tournament, this was the 12th ranked team in the WORLD! To have held them to a 1-run win was a great feat on our part. Cap'n Jon Wickham and Dirty Dirty Trevor had a couple of plays that were so amazing that the AA All Stars AND the referees of the game came over to commend them!



("High Socks" at the bat)

Game 2: Good Times 9, UVL 1
Another loss - this one not as pretty... Something just didn't click, but it's all good... We had an BLAST, and that's what was most important.



(True sportsmanship - members of Good Times carry our own Jonathan Korb off the field after killing his knee making a monster defensive play)

As soon as Game 2 ended, the sky opened up. We literally saw the storm coming AT us over the highway. The next hour was spent under the Beer Tent (YES!) making new friends and partaking in a little Flip Cup.

Game 3: UVL 5, Fozzie's All Stars 3
Once the rain let up (only a little), we got to play in our Consolation Bracket against Fozzie's All Stars... This, by far, was our most fun game - regardless of the water torture that was upon us... These guys were out there to have a blast - just like us.

As a result of our performance in the 2006 Founder's Cup Tournament, UVL is now ranked #15(!) in the WAKA Power Poll, featured on Kickball365.com!



Thanks again to all who came out and those who were cheering for us from their respective locations!

Once again...

So this famous guy (I'm not quite sure who he is) is invited on to a morning show in Australia.

I mean, really, who isn't a sucker for romance and surprise?)

Oh, wait... That's not what you're here to say? Wow! That's an entirely different message, altogether.

Average Homeboy

Meet Denny Blaze.

Denny isn't your average homeboy. He's made this demo video to show YOU his rapping skills. He's not from "urban areas," nor does he portray him self that way. He's just an average suburban kid, trying to "perfect his rapping skills."



Believe it or not, Denny's video has spread so wide that he will be performing LIVE on Jimmy Kimmel Live this coming Monday!

Finally, from Denny's OFFICIAL site:
10 things that may qualify YOU to be an Average Homeboy:

10. You don't write million dollar checks.
9. You don't live in a mansion or a box.
8. You have to cut the grass every week.
7. You don't have a butler or a maid.
6. Your exterminator is a can of raid.
5. You weren't born with a silver spoon.
4. You don't have a daddy who's a big tycoon.
3. You drive a Chevrolet.
2. You make your own bed and don't have a big head.
1. You eat Froot Loops before shooting hoops.

If you match up to this list, then...

For sure, YOU are an Average Homeboy!

Yes, it all rhymes... That's rappin' skills!

Superstitious

Sports players around the world have certain superstitions and traditions that they adhere to before, during, and after every game.

Some players don't change their socks or underwear if they're on a winning streak. Some tap their shoes or clap their hands in a certain way, thinking it gives them certain abilities. Some just look up to the heavens, and ask God for help...

Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees (known by many of you as A-Rod), cleans his bat after just about every foul ball he hits. This particular occasion just happened to be caught on camera, at just the right angle to make it post-worthy:

How do you 'splode a Mac?

Much like my last round of heavy duty posts, let's start today off with a BANG!

This dude had an idea. He wanted to buy a new Apple G5 Mac. In order to do so, he needed to raise approximately $5,000. The best way to raise money? Offer to blow something up, of course!

So, he set out with the premise that if he earned the money (one quarter at a time), he'd blow up his old G4. The problem - he didn't really know how to get the job done... Here is his tale:



Normally, before the last few days, I'd probably use this little bit of video to demonstrate how I felt about all Apple computers (but not my precious iPod, of course). Instead, I'll used it to eat some crow.

Babylon has been hyping me on Apple computers for YEARS now. I'm finally giving in, and doing a whole bunch of research into the new MacBook. Affordable, thin, and light, this computer seems to have all the features I need in a laptop (wireless, DVD, widescreen, hi-res, fast, bluetooth). It certainly won't serve as a desktop replacement, but as a traveling companion (a.k.a. business expense). Any suggestions, good or bad?

A favorite among the boys (especially of mine and Babylon), check out these two clips from MTV2's genius/sick 'puppet show on crack,' Wondershowzen:


"You're never too young to have a Vietnam flashback."


I can do an impression of you. I can! "Gamble, gamble, gamble, DIE."
- Trevor, "Beat Kids," Wondershowzen

Forget gold... This shit is comedy PLATINUM!

"I'm the Leprechaun!"

First things first, I'd like to thank EVERYBODY for your support and caring during this past week's events. I truly appreciate all of your help getting through this rough time... THANK YOU!

Now, on to the funny:

Apparently, back around St. Patty's Day, there was a Leprechaun sighting in a rural town near Mobile, Alabama (aren't they all rural in Alabama?). Check out this eyewitness testimony, along with an amateur sketch, so you can help in the search to bring the Leprechaun to justice!


"To me, it look like Leprechaun to me. All you gotta do is look up in da tree. Who else see a Leprechaun?! Say 'Yeah!'"

"I want to poop back and forth."

You ever want to make someone feel uncomfortable in just one sentence? This one is almost sure to do the job...



This one is a little strange... I'm not quite sure why I find this one so funny, but I can't help but laugh out loud on each viewing...
"I want to poop - back and forth."

Speaking of poop - Did you know that they make a lip balm called "Chicken Poop?" They do! Learn all about it here:

It Only Takes A Second...

I think we all need to thank the Federated Mutual Insurance Company for making a risk management / liability video so bad that you can't help but point and laugh... "Stupid video! You suck!"

This is the textbook definition of "unintentionally funny":



The best part? Watch toward the end, as the mother and daughter are driving along, laughing, and frolicking. All of a sudden, the daughter screams bloody murder, and BOOM! Their car collides with another in front of them - exploding! Watch carefully, as the car they hit explodes BEFORE impact! Leaves you to wonder what the hell was in the back of that car, huh?

Gates vs. Dynamite

Thanks to Mrs. Babylon for supplying this bit of morning fun!

What would the world be like if Bill Gates and Napoleon Dynamite were roommates? Wonder no more! Check out this clip, already! Gosh!



Nobody should ever let Bill Gates dance. Ever.

Terror Watchlist

I was given this clip from SNL a few weeks ago, but haven't been able to put it up, because I couldn't find it on YouTube or Google Video. Apparently, NBC has put a moratorium on all of their footage appearing on these sites... Thus, El Capitan had to go and get all creative.

Below is a link to my first ever TRULY embedded video (without the help of YouTube or Google), and it's comedy GOLD, I tell ya! I'm working on turning off the Autoplay feature, so for now, it's a link to an external page. It'll be fully embedded soon, but in the meantime, enjoy:


Haid D'Salaami! Fucking hilarious!

Lightning Bolt!

I had a really awful night last night, and DESPERATELY needed a good laugh this morning...

Sure, I've had my share of fun laughing at geeks over time, but these guys truly take the cake:



Watch carefully... When one guy screams "lightning bolt!" one guy appears affected. When another screams "sleep" or "death," the same is true.

Holy shit! I'm SO glad I never got this nerdified...!

(On a quick side note: Not to get all sappy and shit, but, to all of my friends and family, I love you all, and truly appreciate you all every day. Please don't forget that. Be sure to tell your loved ones the same, as you never know when you won't get another chance...)

Ok, buzz kill over...

There's more fun to come later today...

Give us all your money...!

It's 1978. You're young, ambitious, and flush with cash. Would you give your money to this motley crew?



Oh yeah... That's Microsoft, circa 1978. The bearded maniac in the lower right corner? That's Paul Allen - owner of the NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks, and frankly, all of Seattle. He's worth about $20 Billion.

The geeky kid in the lower left corner? Bill Gates, of course...

Now, give us all your money!

Jewbacca

Yet another huge thanks to Mrs. Babylon for finding this one...

Mr. Notable - you've been releived of your recent nickname, "The 40-Year Old Virgin." Henceforth, you've been blessed with a new nickname:

(Click image to see the originating webpage, DeezTeez.com)

And, of course, the description from their website:
"Jewbacca is a wookie that faced alot of anti-semitism growing up. That's bullshit! The Ewoks are bullshit! Everyone knows Chewbacca was Jewish, he speaks Yiddish."

That, alone, is worth its weight in gold!

Makin' Patties

I severely doubt this one is a legit commercial, but it's hilarious nonetheless...

Ever wonder where Whopper Jrs. come from?

That one goes out to Jon... Not the cow humping part! The BK part...! It's working "For," not "at!"
