Stay in the car, STUPID!

With record-breaking temperatures in the Greater Toronto Area, mixed with smog, we thought it might be nice to remind everyone about what they were complaining about just a few short months ago. It's always something.



And this was just funny. Seriously.

Dead Funny

This is a pretty good example of what I like to call, "WTF Comedy." It's the kind of comedy that's bizarre and pointless and at the end of it you just say, "What the fuck was that?"

In this clip, the joke is not that he's screaming at a corpse for three minutes, it's that we're watching him scream at a corpse for three minutes.

I don't mean to say that it isn't funny. Not at all, I laughed at the premise and the execution. But the joke was on me. Ha!

What would you do with an extra hour?

This seems to be a contest entry for a Boston Market promotion. I can't claim to entirely understand it, but I thought it looked interesting. Like the way scrambled porn looks interesting.

b.

(PS- Sound familiar, Studd?)

She's clearly from Nantuckett

Watching this video, it occurred to me: Nobody really writes dirty poems anymore. Well, thank goodness someone's doing something about it. Rock that poetry!

On a related note, check out Albert Evanston's Blog for his attempt at reviving the Dirty Limerick.

Yeah.

Eww.

b.

If all of your friends jumped out of an airplane...

These guys rock. I've always admired skydivers, ever since I saw the opening scene in Moonraker when I was a kid. That's the one in which 007 jumps out of an airplane without a parachute, catches up to the baddy who has a parachute and steals his. Oh, and Jaws was there biting his way through the sky as well. Way Sweet.

I'd like to think I would go skydiving myself one of these days, but I don't even like really high ladders. Too bad, because it looks like one hell of a ride.

b.

"C" is for CRUEL!

Now, now. There's no need to do anything rash. Cookies should be for everyone, not just attractive would-be cookie dominatrixes (dominatri?).

I envision a world where everyone can have as many cookies as they wish, without fear of having them torn away at the last moment. It can leave a person with deep-seeded cookie abandonment issues for the rest of their lives. Nobody wants that.

Please, join the WCF (World Cookie Federation) today, and stop the madness.

b.

Port-a-Rama fireworks? We'll never know.

Sorry about missing yesterday's post. VideoYeah was celebrating Victoria Day. We hope you all had a great one.

b.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

If you live in Toronto (as I do), there's a good chance that you've encountered Zanta. Clad in a Santa hat and no shirt 365 days a year, Zanta wanders the city doing "millions" of push-ups and educating anyone who will listen about marijuana and other interesting subjects.

I've seen him a few times, myself. I think I have an unhealthy fascination with him.

b.

But they don't do Windows!

First is the Apple IIc which boasts a built-in diskette drive and the ability to read, what looks to be thousands and thousands of different drink coasters. Pretty slick! It would be just perfect for all my monochrome line graphing needs. I was ready to buy until I saw this:



Well, what a fool I would have been to jump for an Apple IIc so quickly. The Commodore 128 has even more features. It's got blocks, birds and a guitar! It also dispenses Sprite, my favourite soft drink and it has keys that let you input NUMBERS! I can see that coming in handy one of these days. Also, it can float in mid air!

I'm convinced. Commodore is the computer company of the FUTURE!

b.

Flippin' Bus!

I remember riding the school bus when I was a kid, and the only major things we had to worry about were bullies, noogies, "Indian burns," sitting next to the smelly kid or actually missing the bus altogether ("That's something I'll never, never, ever do again!").

Turns out, we could also have been sucked to the side of the bus by a giant magnet! Oh, or the bus could flip over.

This video elicits an "oh my god!" reaction, but don't worry. There were no serious injuries. If convicted, the driver of the bus could be fined a cool $100. That's almost $4 a kid! What a bargain!

b.

I collect calls like spinsters collect porcelain dolls

The transcript from this video reads:

" I mean you could least leave your name and your phone number of who you are and your name and leave us a number number so I know how to get back in contact with you. I mean, I don't mean to say this, but I'm just being respectful. Hah holla atchu later. BYE! "

Has this person ever used a telephone before? If you did decide to leave your name and "number number," would he be able to retrieve it?

Obviously, this guy doesn't love his answering machine like some people do, but...dude.

At least he's being respectful.

b.

She blinded me, with SCIENCE...and an axe.

This video shows one "Andy Krage" taking out is frustrations on his now unnessessary science fair board. At least, I hope it's his.

This video has it all: Rage, dispair, wicked snow FX and an totoally not un-orginal soundtrack.

Andy would like you to know, " I am destroying my science fair board the day after science fair. Towards the end of the video I cough and it sounds weird because its in slow motion."

Thanks, dude.

b.

Bi-Polar Humour

This Friday, we thought you might like to see some cute animals act out how you may feel emotionally, if your life were based on the works of the Dilbert comic strip. Or Garfield, I guess.

Of course, this is only applicable if you're a Monday-Friday 9-5 kind of person. More and more people work multiple part-time jobs, and as such, don't get to experience the ultimate joy of Fridays (Or the intense agony of Mondays for that matter). "Huh? The week has an end?"

That aside, take a look at the video again. Take away the funny music, and ask yourself: What the hell is wrong with that bear? Here we are laughing while that poor polar bear is in obvious distress! We're sick, sick people.

b.

Revenge of the Lagerheads!

I found this attempt at hard journalism admirable. Please, please, won't someone ask the tough questions? Why was the gig so...crap?!

b.

The Age of Aquarium

I like this video because the kid is obviously about to tape himself lifting weights like a "big man," and when he breaks the aquarium, the first thing he thinks of is to scream for his mom.

On the YouTube page for this clip, people left comments like, "he's so stupid, what an a**hole, etc." I, for the record, did not select this clip becaue I feel superior to the kid, but because I sympathize, actually. Who among us hasn't done something stupid while trying to look cool? I know I have.

b.

(Hammer) Time Travel

This is TIME TRAVEL by sebrules. This one made my day.

I don't know if time travel is possible, but if it is, I hope we don't have to re-make all the good time travel movies.

b.

Let there be LIGHTSABERS!

If you search around YouTube or Google Video looking for lightsabre (lightsaber, light saber, etc) fights, you'll find plenty. In the digital age, it seems that lightsabre FX are far easier and cheaper to execute than when George Lucas did them in the olden days.

Most of the homemade clips you'll find are less than 10 seconds long, and aren't very interesting. It's usually just two kids in their backyard/basement/bedroom banging two rotoscoped sticks together to the tune of whatever crappy metal or techno song they happen to dig at that moment.

That's what makes The Lightsaber Duel by Reid Nicewonder so great. It's got LOTS of lightsabres going at once and isn't afraid to show them. The movie has a simple but effective storytelling style. Just enough story to establish convincing dramatic conflict. And most importantly, it's got cool music and is edited to it competently! Imagine that (I'm looking at YOU metal head)!

Dude, I soooo want a lightsabre.

Feet need sunglasses so they don't damage their retinas.

This one is just called FEET LOOSE by wildefrost. It's feet. That is all. There's a hypnotic simplicity to this one, don't you think?

Have you ever just looked at your feet? I like to look at mine and ponder the fact that (evolution-wise) my feet were once hands. My big toe kinda looks like a thumb if I squint a bit. Doesn't that blow your mind?

b.

Jar Jar? More like, "ARGH! ARGH!"

Hey gang,

We've decided to do something a little different. There's a lot of cool video out there on the net and there just isn't enough time to see it all. Check VIDEOYEAH frequently to get our picks of some of the best/worst/ most interesting/weird videos from around the...whatever they're around.

Today we've got DIE JAR JAR DIE!!!. Anyone who hasn't repressed it will remember Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. wolfwill23 over at YouTube sure seems to.

I always wondered what happened to all that unsold Episode I merchandice. You could always find tonnes of it at Zellers or the dollar store about 8 months after the movie came out and for years after. In fact, I think there's still some out there.

The video here is a little choppy, but you can still hear the creepso Jar Jar laugh as he gets his legs blown off.

There are times when CGI just won't cut it.
