Extremely Enthused Lip Synching

This guy is golden. Maybe it's his slightly odd-looking face, but likely it's just the rad attitude (especially at the 3:20-3:25 mark). Watch him do a shameless rendition of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream":

Now THIS is patriotrism

Watch these hilarious Filipino boys flip out when Miss Philippines makes the top 15 at the Miss Universe pageant :) Cute and hilarious.

Inception explained?

Funny spoof of Inception...which I did enjoy, but is so easy to poke fun for all its complexities/straight-forward dialogue :)

Play 'em off, Keyboard Cat

I don't know how I went this long without knowing about the keyboard cat.

The original video seems typical enough of YouTube, just a cat playing a (preset?) song on a keyboard.



Things get hilarious when you team him up with various degrees of "fail"...can't quite explain it -- it just works.

Beautiful idiots

This is pretty awesome, and features (among better known actors) the guy who played Matt on Heroes.


I wonder if they did the voices and then pitch-shifted, or if those are actual 2 year olds talking?

Patches the Horse

This is touching but also very alarming...
Patches lives the good life, but horses should not be eating cheeseburgers!!

World Cup fever in Middle Earth

Remember the "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard!" music video/nerdfest? Someone made a trailer combining it with a familiar World Cup 2010 sound....

Having just come back from Europe, where World Cup fever is high, I figured I'd share. Love them or hate them, the Vuvuzelas are here to stay!

OK Go galore!

Have been on hiatus job searching and traveling for the past few weeks, so here's two...

This song has been stuck in my head all week ("End Love"). Another great music video gem from OK Go!



Despite the awesomeness of their Rube Goldberg-style video for "This Too Shall Pass," the original is pretty neat too:



Also check out this awesome staring contest between drummers:

Then came this past weekend's Giant Dusty Muffin!



Golden and delicious :)

Hapy b-day to me! Happy Earth Day to all!

This video is not birthday or Earth Day related, but awesome.

From SNL - The Sarah Palin Network

I wasn't always a fan of Tina Fey, but she is such a good Palin.



Christian Bale tells off Tiger Woods

Super Neat

Just got back from NY...glad I missed the invasion! I love the comment "We laugh, but this could actually happen."

Late April Fool's

Google is cute...though I could have sworn those chickens were going to say something mean!

Baseball season is here!!

...and what a great Opening Night game at Fenway yesterday!

Special props to Joshua Sacco for his awesome Miracle-inspired speech...Red Sox style!

Alaska Nanooks blowing up...the world?

Though March-early April is reserved for NCAA tourney fever, college hockey playoffs are also upon us. Watch this gem of an intro for the UAF Nanook hockey team. Sensitive and subdued? No. Outrageous and entertaining? As a fellow Alaskan and "politician" would say, "You betcha."

Amazing vocal range

I saw this a while ago, and was pretty impressed. Everyone wants to be Aladdin and Jasmine at the same time, right?

Regardless of your feelings about Disney or guys who sing about Disney, you've got to admit that this guy's voice is pretty formidable:

Oscar movies, in a nutshell

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time, especially since the Oscars were just two days ago.  Very clever and entertaining video from Cracked.com.

Great Disney mash-up

If you like Mean Girls, you'll appreciate this!

Sick remix!

I like the original, but this is surprisingly good:

"No Dog Music? How Peculiar..."

Elijah Wood, in an alternate universe, teaches us about fruit & vegetable music as well as other fascinating things.  Enjoy this weird but amusing clip.

Fun Japanese band - Peelander Z

For some reason, the lack of pluralization makes it all the better. Happy colors and kitsch, peppy tunes for all!

Beatles from the year 3000

Makes you wonder what ancient civilizations were REALLY like...

Melodramatic 3 year-old

Pretty adorable little girl sobs over her love for Justin Bieber.

Check out the video here.

MJ Tribute

I hope I'm still this spry and in the mood to shake it when I'm this old...props to this dancing trio!

Raptors like it rare and blonde

Basketball season is heating up...and along with it, all the eccentricities of professional sports mascots.  This one is amusing because you don't really see it coming...

Italians speaking English speaking German?

Oh hi, trebuchet font.  

This video is a great music find from Sam, circa 1972.

These beats are so fresh! (though me saying that is not)

The song is called "Prisencolinensinainciusol", and was composed and performed by Italian star Adriano Celentano.

The lyrics are pure gibberish, and is meant to sound like American English as heard by a non–English-speaker.  According to wiki,  "the song is about 'incommunicability' because in modern times people are not able to communicate to each other anymore. He added the only word we need is prisencolinensinainciusol, which is supposed to stand for 'universal love.'  Celentano's rationale for the song was that, after releasing albums about ecology and social issues, 'having just recorded an album of songs that meant something, I wanted to do something that meant nothing.'"

Enjoy!

Jersey Shore parody...amusing or frightening?

You decide...

I am personally looking forward to season 2, but hopefully no children will be involved. Apple juice, however, is always welcome.

This is Pan, a famous Japanese monkey

...and this video is priceless, for one reason or another.

Get ready to have it stuck in your head for the rest of the day!

Clothing Drive

hmm...I guess the moral of this ad is that free booze motivates people to do good deeds. Amusing, though I wouldn't want this happening in my office!

The latest from Apple...the iPad

...or not.

This is a MadTV spoof commercial from a while back...I guess Apple had other plans for a product of the same name!

Keepon is a Kutie

If you're looking for a Valentine this year, get ready to fall in love with Keepon...

So simple yet so adorable. With good music taste to match. Watch him dance to Spoon:





Unfortunately, you'll need to cash out $30,000 to buy this little fella. Maybe someday!

Very bizarre...

A Very Strange Concept

From Fail Blog (www.failblog.org), an ever-entertaining site...

This product seems like a very inefficient and bizarre way to get a good night's rest, but the "problem" it claims to solve is not one that I have really had to deal with. Who knows...maybe it's effective...just don't buy it for me!

Cultural ha-ha's

Who doesn't love a funny instructional video?

My friend showed me this recently...maybe there's some truth in it, but mainly it shows that somebody has a clever cultural sense of humor :)
