Requires the slightest bit of knowledge of band names, but this is one of the funniest cartoon clips I have ever seen. Yes, even better than Dr. Tran and this one is clean. Thank heaven someone was able to find it and post it.
I miss the Animaniacs. Some of the best writing and ideas in a cartoon - fresher than the Simpsons and more clever than Family Guy. Subtlety should never be underrated.
While searching for something else, I came across this:
Yep, that's a mousepad. I'm not sure whether to think it is clever or whether to shake my head at it, but I can't help but admire the idea behind it. Gotta love that it is anime and pretty much any male anime/manga fan from 13 to 85 will enjoy the novelty of it. Only the Japanese would have the balls to pull that off. Granted, ones made to show adult stars from the US can't be far off given the pervs that live in this country (us three included). I could easily see it.
I wonder if it's a silicone mousepad ... heh.
Somewhat related note, my new favorite Japanese word is oppai. You figure it out. ;)
Had a chat with a co-worker yesterday and I had forgotten about this ... I had to go find it, to share. Thanks goes to Brice H. for the reminder.
It's so bad it's good. At least if you are from Denver anyway. Quality isn't all that great, but (a) it is from the 80's so can't be helped and (b) I think it adds to the atmosphere.
Posting this for my peeps. Mr. Scary, Beaver - enjoy some nostalgia fellas!
Gotta love this comic. I imagine it hits a little too close to home for some. Not me of course, but it made me laugh out loud.
While you're at it, feel free to check out the past strips of that comic (hint, use the navigation arrows once you click the link above and see the one I pointed out). Good stuff!
... or better known as Buffalo Wild Wings, is hands down one of the best places to get wings right now. I know it is a chain, I know it is a bit gimmicky - I don't care. The only thing I like more than BBQ is wings, and they know how to do it up.
Went again last night. Traditional wings with Asian Zing sauce is the way to go, with some sweet tea and a basket of fries. Just saying.
I'm sure you've seen the ads by now, some may even say that they've been annoyed by them by now, but you can't escape the overly enthusiastic character Flo. I'm sure you have said, "where the hell did this girl come from?" or "they actually had an audition to be that person?".
At any rate, little did you know, the actress that plays her has been around for some time. I noticed her in a small part in Mad Men, so I had to look her up. Her name is Stephanie Courtney and here is her IMDB page. Holy crap she's a busy gal.
Then I came across this gem as well ... a video of her standup routine:
A little rough, but entertaining. I love my comedians.
I guess the point here is this: we often see some character in a commercial as we zoom past it on our TiVos, often without a second glance, but we should probably remember them. They work almost as hard as any other actor, probably harder in a lot of cases, just to get a big break. Next time think about that when you catch yourself watching a commercial and hoping you had the remote in your hand to fast-forward. Show some respect and watch that damn commercial instead!
Well ... any of them except that annoying Geico commercial with the money and the googly eyes - go ahead and zoom past that, no one was working hard the day that was thought up. That's just plain creepy.
