The Election Season Makes An Easy Target

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Regardless of political affiliation or affinity, plenty of people are interested in making political statements - especially in the middle of a Presidential campaign (go figure!).

As for me, I’m more interested in hilarity, and the following video from The Daily Show is damn funny. If you don’t have an uninterrupted 3:28 minute block, go straight to the 2:17 mark, where the comedy kicks into high gear. Otherworldly irony available at 3:17 minutes:

“Freedom of choice? That’s different than being pro-choice.”

Not a Double Standard at All, No…

Friday, September 5th, 2008

In the great words of Nerol Someones, “These windbags will say anything.”  Truly a great exposé on double standards in this election from John Stewart:

Baby Palin Gets a Bath

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

This was last night at the Republican National Convention, during Sarah Palin’s speech.  I’m having a hard time not watching this clip over and over.  As it happened live, I collapsed into the fetal position and then changed my registration to Republican.  God Bless America!

Those Hilarious, Mind-Boggling Japanese Gameshows

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Love them or hate them, videos of Japanese gameshows are hilarious - especially if you have NO CLUE what’s being said. Here’s a classic Human Tetris episode, with a defiant cast of characters doing whatever it takes (read: whatever they can) to win!


Apparently stateside media has noticed how popular Human Tetris is on YouTube, and has decided to create an American version. Annnnnnnnnd, true to form, the name will be simplified for what I assume must be a huge swath of American audiences who don’t know what Tetris is. Ladies and Gentleman, allow me to present Fox’s Hole in the Wall.

Damn It Feels Good to be a Banker

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

My favorite viral video guys are back at it again, with another straight-to-Internet smash to follow up mega-hits Ghostride the Volvo, Huge in Asia, and Give Me Your Heart (in San Francisco). Check out “Damn It Feels Good to be a Banker” and show these guys some love– after all, they’re Blogadilla readers!

The Very Best of John McCain

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

TPMtv has put together a great compilation of John McCain’s gaffes, awkward pauses, crappy catch phrases and foreign policy misunderstandings, highlighting what Fox News Managing Editor Brit Hume calls Mccain’s “senior moments.” Is this man fit to lead?

(Take particularly note of McCain’s reference to Vladimir Putin, President of Germany — First off, it’s Russia, not Germany, and he’s no longer the president- he’s now the Prime Minister! And also, Czechoslovakia hasn’t been a country for more than 15 years!)

The Baketan Ghost Detector 2.0

Monday, August 11th, 2008

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post on “Ghost Detectors”. I broke down and bought one: the Baketan Ghost Radar/Detector 2.0 ($19.00 from Strapya-World). It finally came and I tested it out last weekend.

Here’s the video:



Ectoplasmic Bonus Round: The Japanese Baketan website even has a user-submitted ‘ghost sighting’ page.

The Moon Transiting the Earth

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

The Deep Impact/EPOXI probe took rare video footage (May 28-29) of the Moon transiting (passing in front of) the Earth. From 31 million miles, we look pretty small.

“…And I Want Two Slow Dances With John McCain’s Wife.”

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

‘Nuff said - if you’re into that kind of thing. Here’s a skit from the ESPN Espy’s Award Show that broadcasted on Sunday. I’m choosing to believe that Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly ad libbed this skit, because they’re each funny enough to do it.

The New Gross

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Now that everyone on the planet has gagged watching “2 Girls 1 Cup,” it’s time for something new and vulgar to trick your friends into watching.

Behold the next gross thing: CakeFarts (NSFW!!!)

Everybody likes cake.
And most people think farts are funny.
And naked ladies are awesome.
But nobody wants to see these three things combined.

Back and Forth, Forever

Friday, July 4th, 2008

))<>((

This obscure emoticon ))<>(( just may be the funniest thing out there, ever. And I’ve made it my new life’s goal to tell everyone about it.

In short, Allison sees this ThreadPit t-shirt and says:
“I know where this is from, you have to see the movie!”

And she shows me the video clip from “Me and You and Everyone We Know” and it all made sense and I was laughing so hard I peed (NSFW):

Spread the word.
Back and forth, forever.
