I really don’t care for Bud Light Beer, but their commercials are often very clever. This is one of the better ones, featuring gratuitous fake nudity and some clever object placement.
I am pretty sure that this type of situation wouldn’t go over very well in a real office building. Not so much for the tightey-whiteys, but rather because most workplaces have policies about drinking beer at work.
Thanks to Jobin for sending this one in!

If there’s one thing I love, it’s Japanese businesspeople, Japanese commericals and cats dressed as humans. Throw all three of them into a commercial and what do you get? Japanese Business Cat!
I have no idea what they are saying or why this commercial even exists, but I do know one thing: it’s funny.
There are so many comments that I have about this video, including
Thanks to Warming Glow for bringing this to my attention. Thanks to Japan for bringing me constant amusement.

Got this one from Becca, the lovely wife to be of my oldest friend Tones. They are getting married soon, and I’m impressed that in between all of the planning, she was still able to think of me and my stupid funny video site!
Shamwow Guy Mugshot
So this video is a parody of the Shamwow commercials that area always on TV. In this instance, we are treated to a great video by a guy who looks/sounds a lot like the Shamwow guy (shown here in his mugshot after a crazy tussle with a prostitute), but is much more funny than the original guy… and hopefully less into working girls.
If you visit this site often, you will know that there are a few things that I really enjoy: parody videos of current events and making fun of douchebags. This videos allows me to do both, and I commend Becca for her contribution!
I have a new YouTube phenomenon that I’d like to describe:
You watch a viral video and it’s funny. However, since you watch like 50 videos a day, you really forget about how funny it is. Months later, you see the video again and are reminded by how absolutely awesome it is! That happened with me in this faux-commercial about an Energy drink called Powerthirst. This ficticious energy drink is advertised much like a monster truck rally commercial, yet more hilarious.
Rather than bore you of my analysis of why this video is so great, I think I would be better off just displaying quotes and features of Powerthirst:
Ok, I give up. Transcribing this video is giving me an ANEURISM.
This site should just be called Snuggie Video Search. First we posted the Snuggie Interventions Video. Next, there was the Snuggie Spinoffs. Now we come full circle with a Snuggie Spin Off called “blanket” – which takes the Snuggie back to its true roots.
Why would anyone need a Snuggie when they can just use a blanket? Great question. I don’t have an answer. The only explanation I can think of is that they suck at life and hate themselves.
Mr. Jones is at it again, and this time it’s with his new venture; a BBQ joint that also gives Foot Massages. Sounds as delicious as it does sanitary. Last time he was hawking Truck Rental and Storage, this time he’s got a BBQ place. The premise is simple, as Jones says: “We’ll Fry everything you want for $5.99… anything that’s edible, we’ll make it delcitable. ” – Can’t argue with that logic.
He even tells you to visit his web site, which is actually a subdirectory of his home page for the Storage business. www.jonesbigasstruckrentalandstorage.com/jonesgoodassbbqandfootmassage.html. That’s a mouthful.
If you’re hungry, this is the place to go… well, unless the video makes you lose your apetite. If that’s the case, then you can certainly just utilize their foot massage service, where they massage your feet with BBQ sauce. Nummers!
Gotta hand it to Mr. Jones for his persistence. I hope that these aren’t real ads, but they are very funny and the URL’s in the videos actually work.
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:
Funny Commercials, Funny Viral Videos, Public Service Announcements
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 one is hot off the presses and very timely. Lindsay Lohan, America’s favorite celebrity to Gossip about, and fresh off a break-up with Samantha Ronson, has decided to do a fake eHarmony profile for the Funny or Die website.
Lindsay Lohan's eHarmony Video
In the video, she addresses all of the rumors about her, claims that she is not broke (she actually has $400 in the bank and 20,000 Marlboro miles) and she looks absolutely smokin’ hot! Even if the rumors are true that she’s broke, I think Lindsay Lohan will manage to get by on looks alone. Plus, she’s obviously got a great sense of humor about herself (or at least a publicist who has coached her in how to directly address the rumors about her life.
Plus, Lindsay is looking really good in this video. Throw in her throaty voice and the fact that she’s talking about losing her underwear on the first date, and I think Lohan will manage just fine. Call me!
Some good lines for those of you who Googling quotes from this video:
“I’m an actress, a singer, an entreprenuer, and I single-handedly keep 90% of all gossip web sites in business.”
“I’m a workaholic, a shopaholic, and according to the state of California; an alcoholic, as well as a threat to all security guards if they work at hotels.”
“I am not broke; I actually have $400 in the bank and 20,000 Marlboro miles, which I’m quite proud of.”
“If you think you can handle a red head with a little bit of sass, and by that I a redhead that’s crazy (I mean, don’t act like you don’t know me, we’ve all read about it)”
“I promise you that at the end of the day, I don’t lose my Google hits; just my underwear.”
One of the greatest ‘bad’ actors of all time, Nic Cage has been consistently bad, yet consistently draws in box office visitors. He literally changed my life during the summer of my Sophmore year in High School when I worked at a movie theater and the two blockbuster movies were Con Air and Face/Off. My role at the time was to “pick up” each theater after people left. You’d be surprised at how lazy people are when it comes to leaving things behind in their chairs. Since most movies get out at the same time, there was also a lot of down time on the job where I’d sneak in and watch parts of movies. Due to timing, I’d always sneak in at the exact same part of each movie. In the case of Con Air, I was in there long enough to hear two great Nic Cage lines in a horrible southern accent (he also had a hideous mullet in the movie):
“Cyrus, this is your bar-b-cue, and it tastes good”
“I’m gonna show you god doooess exxxissst” (he sounds exactly like Forrest Gump in this one)
Cage and Con Air are my favorite memories of working at that stupid Theater all summer. When I found this video, it immediately reminded me of how “larger than life” Cage was at one time, and how he’s such a fantastically bad actor that it’s hard not to like him. He tries so hard to be the coolest guy in the world. Sometimes it works. Most of the time it doesn’t.
This video features several commercials strung together and they really don’t make any sense to me. I think he is advertising for a particular brand of Pachinko machine, but I’m not entirely sure. For those of you who don’t know, Pachinko is a pretty crazy form of gambling that is popular in Japan (it was extremely popular when I was in Tokyo) where you enter balls into a machine and then the balls fall down into some kind of place where you gather more balls. Since gambling is illegal in Tokyo, you take all of the balls that you have won and take them across the street to exchange them for money. What Nicolas Cage has to do with this game, I have no idea!
