Simmons ‘does’ Whose Line

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

YouTube - Funniest Who’s Line ever

I used to watch (and am still a fan of) “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” a hilariously entertaining improv comedy show with some very talented folks on it. Some time ago a friend made me watch an episode I had missed on which Richard Simmons made a guest appearance. Above is a link to the clip including him. His appearance on the show is so freakin’ hilarious that even the regulars can’t keep a straight face.

Krrish

A Bollywood superhero. Everything about it sounds kind of silly by American standards, and I just don’t care. The trailers are fun (in particular watch the first and the last on the list–the teaser and theatrical trailers), and somehow I’m going to have to try to get to one of the few American theaters this is showing at. Maybe in Pennsylvania.

This Moment Brought to You by Comcast

betapundit: Comcast Tech caught sleeping on the job

I wasn’t planning to make another post today; severe headache pain is somewhat inhibiting when it comes to, well, much of anything. But the movie found at the above link, which of course I found on FARK, was so perfect that I had to share. Laughter cures all ills, as they say. (Who is this ubiquitous “they,” anyway?)

We’ve certainly had our own Comcast moments, but nothing quite as surprising as what you’ll see here.

Boxing Alone in the Dark

Something Awful: Uwe Boll Wants Me Alone In the Dark

Yes, Uwe Boll, director of a bunch of (I gather) horrid movies based on video games, has decided to handle his critics by… challenging them to boxing matches?!

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to get into the ring with someone who seems pretty obviously insane, but I guess it could be, umm, interesting. The link above contains an absolutely hysterical review of Uwe Boll’s movie “Alone in the Dark” by one of the people who apparently will be boxing him. I think today just got a whole lot more surreal…

A couple of great animal stories today

wcbstv.com - Black Bear Pulls A Goldilocks In N.J. Backyard (make sure to watch the movie of it falling out of the hammock!)

and…

dying cat befriended by deer–the sappy story of the morning, with awesome photo.

Both links found on FARK, naturally.

Big Blue Dress

World of Warcraft - Big Blue Dress - PvP - Google Video

Many thanks to Eirik of Chisuji for passing along the link to this hysterical World of Warcraft video about… a mage in a big blue dress.

Edited to add: Found Cranius’ MSN page after a little poking around. Not only did he do the movie, he made the song, and he’s damn good! Please check out his page; it includes the lyrics to the song as well as a link to the mp3.

Tunak Tunak Tun–Whooo!

Tunak Tunak Tun - Google Video

An absolutely hilarious and silly music video with a distressingly catchy beat. Right up there with Guild Wars vs. World of Warcraft for amusement value, which I suppose is only appropriate, given this video of the male Draenei dance from the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion!

Watch, listen, and laugh until you hurt!

Edited to add:

Here’s a clearer version of the video:
