I started off a little skeptical on this one, but I was quickly riveted by 10 straight minutes of hilarious videos of people doing stupid stuff. Fastest 10 minutes you’ll have all day.
Do yourself a favor and watch… you won’t regret it. People from all over the world doing stupid stuff, with video proof!
Failure to watch makes you just as big of a failure as these people. Don’t be that guy/girl.

This makes me want to buy a truck from Ferd, particularly so that I can grow 8 balls. That would be perfect with some chest hair upholstry.

Antoine Dodson
You may know him as the “Bed Intruder Guy,” the star of arguably the viral video hit of 2010, or you may know him as Antoine Dodson, a true rags to riches story.
It started with a local news story where the animated Antoine Dodson gave an interview about how he was going to “find” an attempted rapist who tried to crawl into his sisters bed. In fact, “they rapin everybody round here” according to Dodson.
The video itself is hilarious, and then the brilliant guys who created AutoTune the News turned his interview into a song, a truly catchy and well done song, that got more video views than the original (33 Million at writing vs. 15 million for the original).
Now we see Antoine on the BET awards, performing the Bed Intruder Song live with arguably the whitest person to ever be on stage at the BET awards.
In addition, stories have emerged that the royalties he has gained from the song were enough for him to move his family out of the projects and into their own house! A true rags to riches story!
I’m a big fan of blogs that simply focus on a single topic with an interesting premise, and then update a few times a week. Some of my favorites are Hot Chicks with Douche Bags, Shit my Dad Says and This is why you’re Fat, as well as a relative newcomer to the game called People of Wal Mart - a site that spread like wildfire after it was introduced in 2009.
In fact, People of Walmart is becoming so popular that people are making videos as a tribute to the site… and these videos are becoming wildly popular on their own! The embedded video was created by someone named “J Dirty” and does a great job of putting lyrics to the hilarious pictures contained on the site. Excellent work J Dirty!
Be sure to both listen to the video and watch the photos… they will make you laugh and cringe at the same time!
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.
I’m not really into the whole Brett Michaels/Rock of Love thing, but I’m posting this anyway because one of my 5 readers, Stephanie, demanded that I add it. Here you go, Stephanie!!
Brett Michaels gets dropped-do I need to say more?
I’m pretty sure that Brett Michaels is bald, at least that’s what they were saying on the 93x Morning show the other day. They are also wrong all the time, so who knows. If you know more info about Brett Michaels, please leave a comment!!
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.
The WTF Blanket / Snuggie makes a comeback… and basically ruins everyone’s lives. I still hate the Snuggie as much as I did last time I wrote about it, but I still feel compelled to post about it.
Under Cover at a Snuggie Party
The good folks at Funny or Die came out with a fake expose about the Snuggie and the dangers that people face when wearing them. Most of the dangers revolve around laziness, which makes sense, because Snuggies are for lazy people who suck at life. If you are too lazy to watch TV with a regular blanket, then you have bigger problems than cold hands.
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:

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.’
