Simon Says You’re a Loser

Matt — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:18:44 +0000

Everybody remembers Simon, the electronic memory game with the flashing lights, right? If not, maybe this snazzy 80’s commercial will refresh your memory.

Now check out this video of some kid memorizing a ridiculous 31-tone sequence.

Me And My Friend Simon

Ok, I have to admit, this video was only mildly impressive to me, but I’ll tell you who loves this kind of stuff - hot chicks. I can’t even begin to imagine how hard this guy got laid after the ladies caught a glimpse of this video. Play on, playa!

VIDEO: Conan O’Brien’s “The More You Know” Spoofs

Matt — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 23:33:19 +0000

Conan O’Brien is a comic genius. I’ve read about how his show struggled to find a viewership for its first few years, but with sketches like this, I find that hard to believe. Of course, I never tuned in to Late Night back in those days either, but as a youngster I certainly had a valid excuse. One word: Cinemax. Two words: Shannon Tweed. Three words: Box of Kleenex. Four words: Party in my pants. Five wor…DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU? I WAS BUSY MASTURBATING TO SOFTCORE PORNOGRAPHY! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

VIDEO: Tire Falls Off Car Then Reattaches Itself

Matt — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 07:09:37 +0000

Now this is pretty incredible. A tire reattaching itself to a moving car? The odds of that have to be astronomical. At least 1 in 45 or so. Wow, and that car was probably going 800 miles per hour!*

*Disclaimer: I am not very good with statistics, math, or numbers in general.

VIDEO: Old Dude Faceplanting

I really liked this video because it was humorous and educational. Laughs are good, but it’s also nice when a video teaches you a lesson, like maybe old people aren’t really cut out to do dangerous stunts on children’s bikes. I just wish I would’ve seen this video a couple years ago, before the deaths of 7 senior citizens during my ill-fated “Old People Doing Dangerous Stunts on Children’s Bikes” traveling show. In my defense, my grandpa always said that he didn’t want to live forever.

VIDEO: Predictably, Man Fails to Jump Car 1 Mile Over a River

Matt — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 00:44:38 +0000

All in all, I think this guy lucked out. I mean, unless the other side of the river bank was covered in marshmallows and gummy bears, I’m pretty sure his landing wouldn’t have been very pleasant. Oh man, what if it was covered in marshmallows and gummy bears though? I bet the landing would’ve been pretty sweet. (Pun!)

VIDEO: Transmorphers - An Even More Blatant Ripoff Than the Gobots

Matt — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:23:50 +0000

The Gobots were the original Transformers ripoff, but at least they chose an original sounding name. The Transmorphers people just strike me as lazy, opportunistic rip-off guys. However, now that I think of it, the Transmorphers are kind of like those porn stars that choose names that sound extremely similar to celebrities’ names. And since I just finished watching the latest Rebecca Romijn-Staymoist video, I guess I’ll get off my high horse now.

VIDEO: Oh Yeah? Well I Had Sex with Your Wife!

Matt — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 01:17:54 +0000

That field reporter was put in a tough spot there, but I bet he’s looking back at his missed opportunity and kicking himself right now. The correct reply was, “Well, it’s nothing compared to that rusty trombone you play.” Better luck next time.

VIDEO: The Ukraine Is Weak

Nice video, Ukraine. Michael Richards was way off when he said that the Ukraine is weak. His racist tirade though? Spot on.

Also, nice earthenware jug.

VIDEO: Pigeon Kick

Matt — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 18:47:18 +0000

Oh, I get it. The Walker, Texas Ranger writers were trying to show that this was a really bad guy, so they had him kick a pigeon. Because only really bad people kick pigeons, right? Well, what if this guy just did it once because everyone else was doing it and he didn’t want to get made fun of? And he had to make it look legit, so he kicked hard, but only really hit the bird with a glancing blow. And what if he felt really bad afterwards and even cried a little before he went to bed that night? Is he still a bad person, just because he’s sensitive and couldn’t bear to be ridiculed by his peers? Things aren’t so black and white anymore, are they?
(The jury nods in approval, while the prosecutor’s face becomes red with anger, knowing he just lost another trial to me, the greatest attorney in the world.)

VIDEO: Guy References Family Guy in His Final Jeopardy Response. Loses.

Matt — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 17:50:39 +0000

Nice reference, guy. However, I kind of feel like if you spent less time watching Family Guy and more time learning about things like history, science, literature, foods that begin with the letter ‘Q’, etc., you might’ve had more than $1 heading into the Final Jeopardy round. Oh well, at least you made about 10 people in the audience laugh. And like I was telling my friend the other day, making people laugh is better than winning thousands of dollars. Wait, no, it was the other way around - winning thousands of dollar is way better than making people laugh. Hmm, come to think of it, that was a pretty obvious statement. Definitely not something that needed to be spoken aloud.
