Emmy Awards Opening – Glee Club Style

August 31st, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

I’m not a fan of the show Glee, but I can appreciate when things are well done… and this video was very well done.  It also featured some cameos from some of my favorite actors in roles that you don’t normally see them play.  For example, watching Don Draper dance with Betty White.  If this were Mad Men, Don Draper would be doing a lot more than dancing… he’d be making a drunken pass at poor Betty.

The premise of this video is that Jimmy Fallon runs into the cast of Glee before the Emmy’s.  He asks if they are coming to the show, but they can’t afford tickets to get in.  So, Jimmy decides to help them ‘Glee’ their way in for a cash prize that meets the price of admission.

They need to recruit more members in their club in order to have the proper number of competitors, and that’s where Tina Fey, Jon Hamm (Don Draper), Jane Lynch, Hurley from Lost and Joel McHale come to save the day.

Their song?  Born to Run by Bruce Springstein.   Watch the video to see a very well done homage to the Boss, and some good quality Glee club action.

Boob Apron – Parody Video of Cami Secret Commercial

August 30th, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

Who doesn’t enjoy a good parody video?  Heck, I’ve already somehow managed to have an entire section on the Snuggie, posted a Sham-Wow parody, and several others.

This parody is for something called the “Cami Secret” – which is the worst product name I could think of and just an all around stupid idea (at least from a male perspective).

While the product itself if ridiculous, the parody is pretty funny for both men and women to enjoy.  So enjoy!

Zach Galifinakis Interviews Steve Carrell

August 15th, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

Zach interviews Steve Carrell and immediately they come out swinging.  Carrell leads with “I hear the camera adds 10 pounds – looks like you ate 5 cameras.”

It gets better and funnier from there – to the point that Carrell makes Zach cry.  Enjoy!

Condescending iPhone 4 Press Conference

July 25th, 2010 | Posted by Jeff


Looks like I could create a site entirely based on iphone videos.  This one is from Collegehumor where they basically tell you to shove all of your complaints up your ass (literally).

And they make a good point – for all of the complainers out there, what is the alternative?  Please humor me with something that’s better, or even remotely close.

Can’t do it, because the iPhone is the best phone out there, even with problems.  Hopefully competition will change this (I’m all about competition making everyone/everything better), but until then, let’s just laugh at the accuracy of this video.

Reno 911 Porno Parody Review with Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant

July 22nd, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

Don’t let the title fool you – this is a video from Funny or Die where the stars of the original Reno 911 react to clips they see from a porno parody version of the show.  This is a totally clean video (with the exception of language), so don’t be scared by the title.

Disclaimers aside, this is a pretty funny video showcasing fully clothed clips from the porno parody with some witty commentary from the original stars of Reno 911.  I have thought these guys were hilarious since they all starred in a sketch comedy show called the State on MTV.

Funny 3 minute clip that you should check out if you’re a fan of Reno 911 or anything with Tom Lennon.  Enjoy!

In their words:

“It’s got everything you want in a movie: comedy, improv chops, people f’ing the shit out of each other”

iPhone 4 Deleted Scenes with Adam Scott

July 18th, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

While I am an iPhone and iPad fanboy, I couldn’t help but appreciate this video from Funny or Die.  Hilarious use of original Apple footage with some actors spliced in.

“it’s going to change the world than anything since Jesus Christ… and to be honest, it blows Jesus Christ out of the fucking water”

Great video, and great coverage by Adam Scott, everyone’s favorite up and coming “that guy”!

Drew Berrymore’s New Tell-All Coloring Book Hits Shelves

May 8th, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

I guess I never thought of Drew Berrymore as a smart person, and apparently the Onion feels the same way. In this video, they mock Drew Berrymore by running a story about a new coloring book that Drew was releasing. “Drew poured her heart and soul into all 400 words in the book.”

Drew Berrymore is truly an inspiration to everyone… I’ll have to give this to my nieces as a present.

Phonetourage – Funny or Die Entourage Parody

April 15th, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

For some reason, I still watch most episodes of Entourage on HBO when they come out.  It’s not a great show, but it’s an easy way to mindlessly spend 25 minutes a week.  If nothing else, it’s fun to watch the show and make fun of it for being so formulaic.

Apparently some of people who create videos for Funny or Die believe this as well, because they did a hilariously accurate parody of the show.  Vince, Loyd and Drama are dead on.  E is beautifully played by a girl.  The other characters are great as well.  Well done!

Breaking News: Some BS Happening Somewhere

April 1st, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

Generally, this is pretty much how I feel about the news… just some random story about people I’ll never meet doing something that is borderline newsworthy.  Another great job by the Onion.

My favorite line:

“Authorities in special uniforms rushed to the scene to stand around while our crews filmed them”

Why do news stories always have this shot?  Uniformed people standing behind the police line and chatting?  Sort of undermines their hard work, doesn’t it?

Mustaches: Tom Selleck vs. Burt Reynolds

March 16th, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

I love Mustaches.  My uncles sport them, the 70′s, 80′s and 90′s were filled with them, and they just throw out a tremendous vibe to the ladies.  I love them so much that I have spent $30 on a domain name dedicated to Saved By the Bell characters and mustaches over the years (savedbythestache.com).  That might be TMI, but I don’t care, it’s what I do.

Jimmy Fallon’s show also loves stache’s to the point that they have a running segment dedicated to them. In this clip, we have a stache off with Burt Reynolds from the 70′s and Tom Selleck from the 80′s.  In this clip a great premise is made a funny reality, Fallon laughs at his own jokes too much, and there are some life sized bristles above the upper lip that make a generation proud.

Stache’ on, America!!

On an unrelated/related note, I’m pretty sure that Selleckwaterfallsandwich.com stole one of my half baked ideas, but I still credit them for being pioneers!
