Live Dude Cam!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 03:00:00 -0800

It's no Shiba Inu live puppy cam, but it's still effing brilliant. Ha. Ha. Ha. Good work guys!

Hey, I Take Issue With This News Report!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 10:03:41 -0800

The masters of satire over at The Onion have this faux news story about a YouTube challenge to its users: Make a video worth watching. The requirement? That it be somewhat watchable, provide a shred of enjoyment for someone other than the people who made the video, that the person who shoots the video have a reason for doing so other than, "I own a camera," and that the person shoots it while sober. Man, they act as if this, this or this never happened! I rest my case.

Stoner Painter Bob Ross: The Outtakes

GiggleSugar — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Bob Ross was some artist. Instead of being a tortured, absinthe-drinking, self-mutilating weirdo, good ol' Bob gave off a stoner's "all is good with the world" vibe. Painting the top of mountains with little blobs of white paint could send him off on a reverie. You'd think he was mainlining heroin when all he was doing was texturizing a lone, bare trunk with evergreen leaves. Clouds weren't just clouds — they were happy clouds. Well, naturally, someone had to go and harsh his be-fro'd mellow in these imaginary outtakes. Bob Ross with a dark side? At least it's hilarious!

SHAM WOW!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 09:00:00 -0700

Where has Sham Wow (chamois, get it?) been my whole life? I kept hearing comedians and television personalities refer to it, but now I know what it is. And naturally, once I looked it up on YouTube, I found that there are a bazillion spoofs. Here's one of the best, but be sure to check out this one, too. (And here's the original.) Sham-effing-wow!

You Always Gotta Watch the Quiet Ones

GiggleSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 09:00:00 -0700

I always knew that Ernie was the stabilizing force for Bert. He was the social one, the happy one, the one who always went, "Tee hee hee hee" while playing with rubber duckies. Just watch this video of Bert gone Travis Bickle, and you'll see why he never should've stopped being Ernie's roommate.

Monster Mash Singer Branches Out

GiggleSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

It's easy for a singer to get pigeon-holed. That's why the "Monster Mash" singer has to prepare for his time after Halloween. Watch him parlay the catchy beginning of this famous spooky song into other, seemingly less relevant holidays. I give him a 5.

Have a Doobie Brothers Halloween!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:10:00 -0700

Oh, man. I love Michael McDonald's smooth '70s voice. Such a lovable, stoned hippie voice. It seems a little random to have a guy dressed as Count Dracula sing "Takin' It to the Streets" (as "Trickin' It to the Treat") for Halloween, but what would life be like without a little random sh*t thrown in?

First Openly Gay Horse to Compete in Race

GiggleSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 10:00:00 -0700

Meet Ship's Captain, the first openly gay horse to compete in a major race. Rumors have swirled around a number of famous horses since time immemorial, but since they chose not to disclose their sexual leanings, other homosexual horses, including plough horses and ponies, have had to remain in the closet. (That must be one huge closet!) Thank heavens that horses who love horses of the same sex can now love openly, and without shame. They're here, they're queer, get used to it!

So That's What That Song Is About

GiggleSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:00:00 -0700

There's nothing worse than finding out a song you love is actually about some crazy drug trip. With "metaphor-free radio," all the singers tell it like it is. Wait a minute . . . maybe I like the "poetic" lyrics better. Some of that stuff was never meant to be ~~explained~~ sung out loud.

What Men Hear When You're Talking...

GiggleSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 08:00:00 -0700

You may be saying, "Honey, it's your turn to take out the trash," but he hears, "Hockey jungle sex three-way." This amusing video takes stereotypes too far, though. The first thing a man wants to hear, supposedly, is "cheese nachos." I can say with certainty that's a gender-neutral wish, folks. I always think that's what people are saying to me.

Meteorologists Predict an Extremely Brisk Autumn

GiggleSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

What with hurricanes and tornadoes scaring the bejeezus out of everyone, meteorologists are chasing that next big news story that will make them feel relevant. The solution? Report on "an extremely brisk Autumn" filled with loads of "crunchy leaves" and kids out playing ball in "extremely moderate weather." Scary stuff!

Things Not to Say to Your Wife: The Song

GiggleSugar — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 01:00:00 -0700

The things on the list should go without saying, but some dudes need reminding. I especially love how this comedian replaces Green Day's lyric, "It's something unpredictable/but in the end it's right," with "If you're a man who doesn't want to get killed with a knife. . ." Tee hee.

Mad TV: When Babies Attack

GiggleSugar — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 01:00:00 -0700

There are over 400 baby attacks every year, particularly against nannies, for whom babies feel no filial attachment. Watch as the nanny-cam captures — not adult-on-baby abuse (thank heavens) — but the still quite terrifying baby-on-adult abuse. They're cute, people, until they attack. You don't know terror until you've seen baby fangs.

Heavy Metal Farmer

GiggleSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 10:00:00 -0700

I like to think that this hottie hipster guy is really an Amish dude during Rumspringa, the "running around" time for Amish youth when they experiment with worldly pleasures in order to figure out whether or not they want to stay with the Amish way of life. In addition to possibly experimenting with alcohol, cigarettes and maybe even drugs, I imagine they listen to heavy metal. Here is what an Amish guy gone wild might sound like. . .

The Lion King in Five Seconds

GiggleSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

I never noticed what a tragic film The Lion King was. Maybe I was distracted by all the singing and dancing safari creatures in the 90-minute version. Sad!

To Do List of the Unemployed

GiggleSugar — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Something tells me this guy's gonna remain unemployed for a while. Just a hunch. (Thanks for the send, leexlee33!)

Broke Trek Mountain

GiggleSugar — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:00:00 -0700

They had a space mission together for five years, going "boldly where no man had gone before." Only, lots of men, even in ancient Greece, had in fact gone there long ago, if you know what I mean. What the hell am I talking about? This awesome Star Trek and Brokeback Mountain mashup, revealing that although Spock seemed asexual, and Captain Kirk was a ladies man, they only had eyes for each other.

Gordon Ramsay: The Early Years

GiggleSugar — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:00:00 -0700

Hell's Kitchen's Gordon Ramsay is famous for being a perfectionist and a windbag with anger management issues. This video imagines him as a child — and what a charming, foul-mouthed, abusive little child he is!

Disney Unveils Its New Genetically Engineered Child Stars!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:20:00 -0700

Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, Hilary Duff. That's how you know them, but to the scientists at Disney's Genetic Engineering Lab where child stars are produced, they're referred to as 6831-A, B, and C. You see, at the Disney lab, their brains were engineered for dancing and singing and their looks tweaked from the same genetic structure. Let's check in with the Onion News Network and their report on Disney's new batch of stars, including Haley, a half-Japanese, half-Indian girl who sings, dances, and snowboards . . .

Samuel L. Jackson: The Lost Titanic Screen Test

GiggleSugar — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 10:10:00 -0700

This is totally what James Cameron's Titanic would have sounded like directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Samuel "mother effing" L. Jackson. Not sure why this guy is all over the Internet now, but I like it! Titanic totally would have benefited from this adrenaline shot to the eardrums! (Needless to say, languagewise, it's NSFW.)

www.clownpenis.fart

GiggleSugar — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 09:00:00 -0700

Appropriate domain names are hard to come by. Sometimes you gotta twist the name of your website to fit the content, or if you're desperate, chuck appropriate out the window and just go with something catchy. Take this SNL spoof on an ad for Dillon Edwards investment company. This venerable institution just went with the domain name that was available — clownpenis.fart. But now where are the clown penis farters gonna go? No fair. (Thanks, geeksugar!)

Flashback: Ben Stiller as Motivational Speaker Tony Robbins

GiggleSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 08:00:00 -0700

Before Ben Stiller made it big-time and developed that sheen of smugness that's on so many successful funny men in Hollywood (you know who you are!), he was being hilarious on The Ben Stiller Show. I am so glad I found this gem, because it makes fun of a dude I am perversely fascinated with: motivational speaker Tony Robbins. I used to love coming home from a night of drinking, stuffing my face with junk food, only to find that the only thing on television was this Sasquatch of a man with blinding white teeth and a disturbingly deep baritone telling me how to be successful and unleash the winner within. Ha! (Bonus: David Cassidy of The Partridge Family introduces "Tony Bobbins.")

Noooooooo! It's Evil Mr. Rogers

GiggleSugar — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 10:00:00 -0700

The "nice guy" sweaters. The steely gaze. The land of make-believe right in the middle of his bachelor pad. I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you guys, but this is the dark side of the beloved Mr. Rogers. Be very, very afraid.

R.I.P. Bennigan's

GiggleSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:00:00 -0700

It's a sad week, people. Bennigan's has filed for bankruptcy. Where, oh, where am I going to get my deep-fried cheese sticks, chicken strips (aka "Chicken Fingers"), and well, fried whatever with a blue cheese dipping sauce in a friendly, corporate, nondescript atmosphere? (Oh yeah, pretty much anywhere!)

Thanks for the hilarious video, AdFreak!

Facebook in Reality

GiggleSugar — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Say what you will about social networking on sites like Facebook — that it brings people together, reinvigorates writing as a form of communication, yaddah yaddah. This video shows why virtual poking and wall writing is superior to poking and wall writing in real life.

It's terrifying.

Low-Tech Superman

GiggleSugar — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 03:00:00 -0700

This is the wave of the future, people. CGI and its ilk can take their fancy-pants effects and shove it. The people are ready for a return to a kindler, gentler, lower-tech superhero like this curly-haired, wedgie-briefed Superman.

Herpex: The New Wonder Drug!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Some commercials for herpes medications make it seem like having this virus is a freaking walk in the park, or hike in a national forest, or fun time for everyone involved! In a parody of such ads, this commercial for Herpex herpes medication claims it will give you superhuman powers. Coming to a late-night television spot near you.

Jamie Lynn and Her Reproduction Rap

GiggleSugar — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 13:00:00 -0700

I'm a better person for having watched this. I now know the best slang word ever for vagina. That would be "vageener."

Entertainment Scientists Warn Miley Cyrus Will Be Depleted by 2013

GiggleSugar — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Experts conclude that unless something is done to curb our consumption of the juggernaut known as Miley Cyrus, Inc., she will go the way of the Lindsay Lohans and Olsen twins of today. All of those entities, says a noted entertainment scientist, "were bountiful entertainment resources that our overconsumption reduced to smoldering remnants." He continues ominously, "We are burning through Miley at a far more aggressive rate." Conserve, people, conserve! Starlets like this don't come down the pike every day. Oh, wait. Yeah they do.

Kermit Sings Radiohead's Creep

GiggleSugar — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Oh, man. I remember when we posted Kermit singing "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. It instantly killed a part of my childhood. Well, now we have Kermit singing an equally depressing song from Radiohead — their classic "Creep." He wishes he were f•ucking special. You are f•ckin special, Kermit, you are! (Make sure you watch until you get to the end when Fozzie Bear chimes in! Ha!)

"I Kissed a Dude," a Katy Perry Parody

GiggleSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:59:00 -0700

News Flash: Katy Perry Kissed a Girl, This Dude Kissed a Dude
This douche had to get the last word and do the dude-version of Katy Perry's hot new song, "I Kissed a Girl." Needless to say, it doesn't quite have the same appeal to it . . .

Superbad: The Action Film

GiggleSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 13:00:00 -0700

You know it as yet another Judd Apatow-esque bros-before-ho's comedy, but with the right music and editing, Superbad is a really good action film, albeit with the dorkiest-looking protagonists ever to star in that genre. (I'd love to see it branch out into horror, chick-flick, and sci-fi genres. Maybe even a ninja flick. When there's a will, there's a way!)

How Stephen Colbert "Rocked" the '80s

GiggleSugar — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 10:15:00 -0700

Hard to believe, but Stephen Colbert was the lead in a band back in the '80s. It was a time when love songs and power ballads dominated the airwaves and young Stephen had no problem playing the part of a hard-core ~~rocker~~ stalker. (He had a problem obeying that pesky restraining order, but a "special hidden message" had to be delivered to a "special hidden lady." It just had to.) But those days are long gone and, thankfully, his heavy eyeliner and tight-ass jeans are too.

Now That's What I Call Emo

GiggleSugar — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Oh, emos. They seem to really enjoy sighing, crying, and joylessness. This should give them even more reason to be morose. The made-for-television DVD set Now That's What I Call Emo features "the unhippest vloggers of all time, whining about sh*t no one cares about." Sample plaint? "Nobody likes me . . . it kinda turns me on." What's even better? It's available in Sony Betamax for hipsters!

WTF?!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 03:00:00 -0700

I've been WTF?!-happy in the past few days, but I think I've just come across a lot of effin' strange stuff! Take this music video that purports to give the Texas polygamist wives a chance to sing their case to the public. Conclusion? Take away their mics, please!

Elmo and De Niro in Casino?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:14:00 -0700

We know that Elmo isn't the angel he pretends to be. He can be something of a psychopath, which makes perfect sense after you look at him in this audition for the Martin Scorcese mob movie Casino. His part? Conniving wackadoodle Joe "Am I a clown? Am I here to make you laugh?!" Pesci's character of course.

Flex and the City

GiggleSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Sex and the City fever has gripped the nation, so it seemed only appropriate to post a SATC spoof with female body builders! Four women (one of whom sounds and looks like a dude) read the exact lines from the "Modelizers" episode, in which Samantha, Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte grouse that models have ruined it for the regular girls. Only in this version, the regular girls could take on Hulk Hogan!

Geriatric Jones and the Search for Comfortable Shoes

GiggleSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Harrison Ford has gotten pretty buff for his role in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I cannot believe it's been almost 30 years since he did Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)! This following animation makes fun of his age, but really it's a testament to how well he's aged that he's still able to participate in this franchise — without, as they joke, a wheelchair or comfortable shoes!

Unflinching Triumph: A Stare Down Mockumentary

GiggleSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Remember the badass bunny who kicks arse in online stare down contests? Methinks he should go pro and take his game to professional staring tournaments. The only problem is, there are no pro tournaments — yet. This forward-looking mockumentary follows the soon-to-be "sport" of stare down, where athletes won't go for the gold, they'll look it straight in the eyes and, well . . . that's about it.

Uptight Dog Is a Walking PSA

GiggleSugar — Sun, 18 May 2008 03:00:00 -0700

"Above the Influence" recently released an anti-drug ad featuring a talking dog and his pot smoking best friend, Aubrey. In the ad, the dog corners Aubrey in the kitchen to bark at her for her irresponsible drug use. Confrontational much? The situation only gets worse when our gal returns home from partying later that night — at four in the morning. That's when the dog cops a 'tude, gets crass and crude, and lets the unnecessary insults fly . . .

Family Guy Reloaded

GiggleSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 10:00:00 -0700

If The Matrix was a bit too metaphysical for you, here's a version that might go down better: Family Guy Reloaded. If Peter Griffin wants to look as cool as Keanu did in the original, however, he might wanna hit the treadmill and get a new wardrobe.

Anyone Up for Live-Action Spanish Simpsons?

GiggleSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 09:00:00 -0700

It's hard to improve upon a show that's been on the air for 19 years, but two goofballs (Cruz and Raya) figured out how to do it. Using some comical eyeballs and a bucket of yellow paint, the duo gave The Simpsons a live-action makeover. The emotionless acting and mile-high wasp nest are entertaining, but Marge's fabulously toned biceps steal the show. Hello, hottie.

Crimes of Carelessness

GiggleSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 15:00:00 -0700

The mock safety vid below was made to look and sound like a real 1950s PSA, but it's really the work of Weird Al Yankovic— no surprise there. His "exclusive" interviews with high-profile celebs are always the product of excerpts extracted from other, more legit, interviews. They're totally fake, but always funny. The same applies here. Al reassembled clips from old educational films and made his own masterpiece to teach adults and children a very valuable lesson — ~~safety~~ humor comes first . . .

Flashback: Will Ferrell in Xerox Assjet Ad

GiggleSugar — Mon, 05 May 2008 09:52:58 -0700

There are many features to look for in a Xerox copier, but let's be honest, the most important question is: Can it copy your ass? Photocopying your ass on a standard copier results in an "overall compromise of ass clarity," and no one wants that. How does the Xerox Assjet insure quality ass pics? From what I could gather, it's primarily due to the "polyventric form ass bucket." Sweet. (And look how young Will Ferrell is in this!)

Time For Torture: SuperHILLS Me

GiggleSugar — Fri, 02 May 2008 14:30:00 -0700

Joel McHale, the host of The Soup, dares to do nothing but sit through back-to-back episodes of The Hills for an entire month. The side effects are unknown and potentially irreversible, but someone must confront this menace to society — or at minimum, see if the ongoing feud between Lauren and Heidi will ever, like, find (what's the word?) resolve. Or reverse? Whatevs. You get the point. (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

Cleveland's Next Top Model: The Talent Competition

GiggleSugar — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 03:00:00 -0700

It's the show you've all been waiting for: Cleveland's Next Top Model! In this episode, the girls try out for a television spot advertising a local business: Mom's Donuts and Chinese Food. (Classy!) There's the inevitable bored, snotty model who no longer wants to be there and Tamara's Tyra-esque meltdown. "Get the hell out of my garage!" she screams. Ouch!

Clinton and Obama in Barack-y

GiggleSugar — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 02:00:00 -0700

The current political climate can be torturous, but throwing the big, talking heads of our beloved politicians on little cinematic bodies can be an amusing relief! The ongoing battle between Obama and Clinton feels like a verbal boxing match at times, so why not use the movie Rocky to retell it? If you're not up to speed with the presidential race, then this makes the perfect cheat sheet. It's somewhat informative but more importantly — it's super funny. Priorities, priorities.

There Will Be Bud

GiggleSugar — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:08:20 -0700

Oh, man. There's one thing I love more than parodies — and that's bad puns. Ladies and gentleman, another parody of There Will Be Blood: There Will Be Bud. The kinder, gentler film not starring the terrifying Daniel Day-Lewis.

Support the McLovin' Fund!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:00:00 -0700

Now that Superbad is old news, Christopher Mintz-Plasse's 15 minutes of sexy time are up. So what's boy wonder to do with himself? Drug abuse, sex addiction, and rehab are not the answers. You are — and your pocketbook. If this wasn't a worthy fund, I'd think twice about pledging money to support McLovin's cause, whatever cause that may be. On second thought, are we sure this "cause" is legal?

Murder in The Hills

GiggleSugar — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 03:00:00 -0700

The pretty young things on The Hills are so eerily nonchalant sometimes that I wonder if this is how the "reality" stars would react to an actual knife-wielding psycho — right down to the request for "line!" at a crucial moment.
