Joe's Unlucky Day

Joe's Unlucky Day
Dur: 8min 6sec

Today, Joe will discover the true meaning of ill fate. Not only is he kicked out of his apartment, he find himself mix up in a territory war between the Mafia and the homeless thugs. Can poor Joe survive the day?

Some highlights:

1:38 :
Two girls sitting on couch with 5 foot tall Kermit doll.

3:06 :
The Hobo boss asks the Yakuza gang member how he wants to die. Then it dissolves to Anime storyboards. During which the Hobo Boss is depicted hacking apart the Yakuza while chanting an ancient power:

when you die... there will be three wolves... with one rabbit...

Then after Joe involuntarily joins the Hobos he is given the name Panda. During an encounter with the Yakuza everyone thinks he is from China because of the name Panda. This upsets Joe very much.

Seriously. OK I lied. He's actually a midshipsman. I've pretty much never been envious of another human being like I have of my friend T-Doug. This lucky so and so got a job as an extra on Pirates of the Caribbean III. That's right. Currently he is in Freeport, Bahamas prancing around in a English soldiers uniform. He will be there for 5 weeks all expenses paid. (Enter the jealousy)

I chose this video just so I could tell everyone who reads this blog (all 4 of you) to go and read his blog. It is amazingly interesting everyday. T-Doug is a journalist so he knows how to write. So do yourself a favor and head over to http://pirateiii.blogspot.com. I have added a link to the website in my sidebar as well.

Mitch Hedburg on Letterman

Why are you dead?
Dur: 5min 9sec

One of the funniest stand ups I've ever seen. This guy ranks super high on my list of favorite comedians. His timing is wicked funny. The insight his jokes provide into the insanity of everyday life are truly genius. I count him as a visionary the likes of which we will never see again. Plus he is from Minnesota so he gets extra points.

Mitch Hedberg (February 24, 1968 – March 29, 2005) was an American stand-up comedian known for his odd subject matter, stylistic elocution, subdued delivery, and memorable routines that often consisted of a string of one-line non sequiturs. - From Wikipedia

Intelligent Design - Laugh a minute

Dur: 37min 38sec

Rickety Sprinkles! Where to begin with this one... If you find the peculiarities of religion funny than by all means watch this "documentary". If you have any interest in biology or medicine or common sense than watch this "piece of crap".

The first frame of the movie is a slow close-up of Charles Darwin with a super gloomy scary song driving up the tension for their ground breaking revelations. One of their ideas is that anything before the 20th century was bunk. Chiefly because people like say Aristotle didn't have electron microscopes.

A major breakthrough comes when they finally begin to talk about how wonderful technology is today. And in contrast to the idiots of the 19th century who describe the cell as, "a simple little lump of albuminous combination of carbon" the narrator states that instead we known that a cell today as this:

And that's about all the keystrokes I'm going to waste on that subject.

The Warriors - Come out to Play

The Warriors Most Famous Scene
Dur: 38sec

This clip features David Patrick Kelly as the movies creepy slimy villain. After this movie he was continually type cast as an asshole. See Jerry Horne from Twin Peaks. Apparently his lines were ad-libbed from taunts he used to receive from a neighborhood bully. If for some reason you didn't watch this film multiple times on re-runs in the 80's I feel sorry for you.

The Warriors is a 1979 film directed by Walter Hill about a gang fighting their way back home after being framed for the assassination of a gang leader. It is set primarily in New York City with a final scene taking place in Coney Island. It is based on the 1965 novel The Warriors by Sol Yurick. It also spawned a video game of the same name in 2005. - Wikipedia

I have been completely obsessed with this movie lately. Mostly because Rockstar rekindled my interest in it when they made it into a game. The game is very very cool. And entirely reminiscent of the classic Streets of Rage series. Please queue this movie up on Netflix and enjoy. And read this right on review at All Movie Guide.

The Mario games were never my cup of tea(aka I suck at them) but this video is really neat. Fast forward to about 5 minutes in and just watch this guy work. I seriously can't believe it. Never mind that he beats this game in 16 minutes, just watch how he leaps effortlessly through a myriad of challenges as if he was licking a postage stamp. Nothing stops him.

House of Cosbys
Dur: Multiple

What happens when an obsessed fan gets ahold of Cosby DNA and a cloning machine? Answer: House of Cosbys.

I've had this little gem in my side bar for a while now. Feeling a little lazy today so I decided to give these videos their just dues. Head on over to the excellent Waxy.org and downloaded everything you see. And as Waxy says:

They deserve to be seen, so watch them, mirror them, torrent them, and don't let them disappear again.

All because Bill Cosby and his lawyers don't understand what funny is. Well I do. And this is some seriously funny shizzy. These also have a large tie into the The Lonely Island. So I'll be categorizing them under tLI.

Who Knew? - Cup Stacking

Cup Stacking World Champion
Dur: 25sec

This video is only 25 seconds long but it'll take you several minutes to get this one through your noggin'. Play this about 5 times to take it all in.

Thank dog wikipedia has something to say cause I don't:

Sport stacking (formerly known as cup stacking) is an individual and team activity played using plastic cups. It originated in the early 1980's in southern California and received national attention in 1990 on the "Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson.

Participants of sport stacking stack and unstack cups in pre-determined sequences, competing against the clock or another player. Sequences are usually pyramids of three, six or ten upside-down cups. Proponents of the sport say participants learn teamwork, cooperation, ambidexterity, and hand-eye coordination.

Tournaments are governed by the World Sport Stacking Association. In 2004, the Association changed the activity's name from cup stacking to sport stacking to give it "immediate identification as a competitive sport." - Wikipedia Rules

Hope I didn't offend any of you Sport Stackers out there by calling it by the old name of Cup Stacking.

Dear dog! This is so excellent. It fits in perfect with my state of mind right now. Having just purchased a Nintendo DS I decided to get a few Game Boy Advance games to plug into it's other hole. I picked up Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. This game was originally on the SNES and is one of the best console games of all time.

This commercial however looks like MC Hammer did the choreography. Flashback central!

Superman: The Mechanical Monsters
Dur: 10min 14sec

An oldy but a goody. (how does one spell "oldy"?) This is a public domain Superman cartoon. Published in 1941. I have a VHS tape I bought at a thrift store with a bunch of these old cartoons on it. It is a real window into that time. One episode is entitled "Japateurs" and you can guess how racist and stereotypical that particular movie is.

This one however is pretty tame. Very cool robots do this evil masters bidding. Although all they do is break into banks and steal money. Not very original. But of course Lois Lane's dumb ass gets in a pickle and the mighty Superman is there to save her.
