Sometimes you come across a video that is just too funny to not post. This happens to be one of those. I found it on comedian Aziz Ansari’s blog and had to tell the world about the awesomeness.
Not sure of the context in which this video was taken, but basically it involves 3 guys dancing in front of the video camera to the theme song from the Legend of Zelda game on the Nintendo 64. You really have to just watch it. This could be the new nooma nooma guys!
I keep on expecting them to stop the music and say “Do you mind if we dance with your dates?”
In addition to my sister finding the dance scene in House Party to be awesome growing up, she also loved MC Hammer, and his awesome pants. In fact, at one point she had my mom sew several pairs of these pants for her and her friends. I’m sure that this made them the coolest kids in the school. There’s really no doubt.
When my buddy Brandon sent this video a few days ago, I felt compelled to post it online. Imagine, a group of hundreds of people wearing gold “gaucho” pants and infiltrating a Hollywood store, supported by the song “can’t touch this” in the background. Now imagine this group breaking out in unison to this dance, and having all of it filmed while the store shoppers looked on in amazement.
That’s what happened a few days ago in Hollywood. I’ll let you go to YouTube to learn about who is behind it. All I’ll tell you is that they are awesome!
Classic video about a man complaining about the amount of sausage that is being placed into a Jimmy Dean Sausage tube. This guy calls to complain to the company about the change, and is pretty livid. It might seem trivial to you (and me, actually), but it is NOT trivial to this guy.
My favorite part of this video is how it is animated along with what the guy is saying, and the animations make him out to be pretty stupid (and his family to be grossly overweight). It reminds me of the misheard lyrics YouTube videos, which I will post in the near future.
Sorry for the slow posting of videos lately, but I have been out of town and am getting caught up. Here is the sequel to the Cleveland Tourism Video I posted a few weeks ago. The sequel video follows the same tune as the first, only this time it’s a lot more cynical and the language is a bit aggressive.
Apparently there is no shortage of negative aspects to Cleveland, because the singers are able to pick apart several more shortcomings of the city. Having never been to Cleveland, I cannot tell how true these are, but I’m guessing they have a fair amount of accuracy. At the end they say at least we’re not Detroit. This is probably accurate too. However, when I was in Detroit, I stayed in a really nice place and really enjoyed the city… so what do I know.
Here is a list of the things that these musicians find wrong with Cleveland:
Under construction since 1868
See our river that catches on fire… it’s so polluted that all of our fish have AIDS
Flats look like a Scooby Doo Ghost Town
Don’t slow down in east Cleveland or else you’ll die
Our economy’s based on Lebron James
Buy a house for the price of a VCR
Our main export is crippling depression
We’re so retarded that we think this is art
It could be worse though, at least we’re not Detroit. We’re not Detroit!
I inadvertently have a lot of things to say about this little video on tourism in Cleveland, Ohio. At some point on Wednesday, I saw this video on my RSS feed reader 10 times. Had no real idea what it was about, so I was working and ignored it.
Then yesterday morning I received a note from my buddy LJ and he said “dude, have you heard the song about Cleveland? It’s hilarious, it reminds me of the song from Team America World Police – what is the name of that band?”
They are called DVDA. The lead singer is Trey Parker.
With that said, it took me a while to put 2 and 2 together and realize that the video in question was the same video from my RSS reader. I continued to humor my friend with talks about the video, but I never really got very far.
There were a few other conversations I had around this video inadvertently that aren’t worth mentioning (namely because it makes me seem like a biggot), but let’s just say that this Cleveland Tourism video was completely under my radar.
Fast forward to tonight when I write this post, drinking some wine and catching up on some video watching, leisure reading and podcast listening. What do I come across while listening to the 93x morning show? The Cleveland Tourism song! It really makes me want to go Cleveland.
Some good lines:
“Come on down to Cleveland town everyone. Come and look at both of our buildings”
“You should come on down the west 6th street. It’s the perfect place if you’re a douchebag”
“Watch all the poor people all wait for buses”
“Who the fuck still uses a pay phone?”
“Here’s the place where there used to be industry. The train is carrying jobs out of Cleveland”
“Cleveland leads the nation in drifters”
“Here’s a statue of Moses Cleveland. He’s the guy who invented Cleveland, YEAH!”
This video might be a little older, but I just noticed it today for the first time.
I have never flown Southwest Airlines (because they didn’t service Minnesota until a week ago), but I have heard nothing but good things. If this video, where a flight attendant raps the normally mundane instructions you hear on every flight. He does a pretty good job too!
I fly a lot (probably 1-2 trips a month), which means I hear these instructions about 30-40 times a year. If this guy were on my flights, I think I’d have a much better time!
Hopefully this is a new trend in rap; flight attendant on southwest airlines, then recording contract. It would be a big departure of the normal path taken by rappers, minus the ’street cred.’
Most of you have seen this one before, but I thought I would post it as part of a new ongoing segment where I highlight Viral Videos that I have enjoyed immensely over the years. It doesn’t get much better than this one; the quintessential WOO WOO You Tube video.
For those of you who don’t know, the premise behind the video is a local Oakland news station doing a story about the hottest (and stupidest) trend in car modification; whistle tips. When cars start off down the street, tips attached to the car muffler make a whistling noise as they speed off. I’m assuming it’s pretty annoying, and I can understand the premise behind the story. The funny part is the interviews that they do with the proponents of Whistle Tip; Namely Bubb Rubb and his little sister (aptly named lil sis).
During the interview, Bubb is very candid in his advocacy of the whistle tips trend. The humor comes during his demonstration of how the whistle tips sound.
My Favorite Line:
That’s only in the morning. You supposed to be up cookin breakfast or something… whoo wooo!!
My friend Stephanie sent this to me today and I thought it was post worthy. Not sure if this is meant to be a real commercial or if it’s a joke, but it’s pretty funny!
Mr. Jones is a man who has a lot of space available for storage. Unlike U-Haul or an easy storage place, this guy will store it for you… and he’ll only charge you $10.99. He even has a web site, which I am happy to link to: Jones Big Ass Truck Rental and Storage. He is also drunk! I probably would not trust him to store anything that I own… with the exception of my VHS tape collection. They are just collecting dust right now.
