Reginald D Hunter helps out his fellow Americans by adding his own commentary to a typical game of local cricket. He doesn’t hold back when describing this most English of sports, laying it down like he sees it, and making with the lulz at the terribly Britishness of the whole affair. “There is no way these men can call themselves athletes but, like their wives, we will humour them.”
Louis CK kills it at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan, New York and you can watch if for free (if you have a spare hour). Which is kind of ironic considering with this video he decided to forgo third-party digital distribution channels and physical media and sell the concert straight from his website for download or streaming. He didn’t have any DRM on the video either, hoping a letter he wrote and put on his site would deter piracy.
If you were planning on making the trip to the cinema to see Fast and Furious 6, don’t bother, because this is far better and it won’t cost you anything. It’s an epic chase that involves police patrol cars chasing down a runaway car and involves collisions and crashes using super detailed Tomica models to get fanboys and girls drooling. And there’s not a sign of Vin Diesel’s bald head anywhere.
Just what makes an internet troll tick? Is it just for kicks? Does it give them some thrills? Are they just assholes? The reason they do it has a lot to do with anonymity, which lets trolls go about their troll-y business without having any payback. And if you wanted to get into the psyches of these people, then delve into this video and learn what makes them tick. Then go and troll them.
Making something funny out of Javascript is not an easy achievement, but these guys manage to do it, getting in killer lines like “He’s the Javatar!” and with a tagline that states “It’s supposed to write once, run everywhere. But it’s more like write once, ruin everything” you know the in-jokes are going to come thick and fast, and you know that’s it’s just all too true.
Pranks just don’t come much more epic than what you are about to witness. This is Streeter, he got totally pranked a while back by his buddy Amir at College Humor at the Yankee stadium and humiliated in front of thousands. And, so, he seeks to get his revenge in this video, where he sets Amir up to take a half court shot blindfolded in front of the baying crowds, hoping he’ll miss and get ridiculed and cry. But it doesn’t quite work out like that…
Welcome to another edition of ‘OMFG, how the hell can it be Monday already!?’ Yep, it’s here in all it’s glory, ready to beat you into submission and reset your ‘i’m the king of the world’ meter to zero as you struggle to make it through the next five days. They say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, so bear those useless words of wisdom in mind as you force yourself to plug back into the Matrix. Meantime he’s some lithium-based links to take the edge off.
You may suffer from it, you may know someone who suffers from it, but it’s a problem that many people have to deal with, most of them in silence, too ashamed to tell the world of their affliction. But finally someone is speaking out about it, breaking the taboo and letting women know that it’s OK, it’s all gonna be OK.
You probably don’t need a reason to watch porn, you spend most of your day watching it anyway. But with this documentary that charts its rise from the 1920s at least when someone comes and busts you and asks you what you’re doing you can say you’re gaining knowledge, learning about our cultural history, and educating yourself. While looking at naked women, of course.
The Lonely Island’s recently released “Go Kindergarten” stars Paul Rudd and Sean Combs and is a totes absurd parody of those ridiculous and OTT club anthems. And to show how dedicated to getting it right they are, it even features Robyn, who herself has been responsible for some club classics over the years. And to complete it is some incredibly silly lyrics all of which are acted out for the megalulz.
Jackie Chan starred in the Bruce Lee classic Enter the Dragon and here he recounts coming into contact with the kung-fu master, whilst filming a fight scene, who slaps him round the face with a stick and was meant to miss, but instead it hit him, sending him into a dizzy spin. But the good news, he got to hang out with the martial arts legend for a little longer as Bruce was nothing but apologetic.
Suave pervert Kassem gets Stoya, the adult star, into his studio for an interview that is only beaten by 1971’s Noam Chomsky vs Michel Foucault debate as a meeting of minds. The issues of the day are discussed and Stoya reveals the intimate facts about her life as well as getting her boobs measured.
It’s time for that ‘Friday Feeling’ as you slip into the weekend zone – Here’s another delicious dose of pictographic internet hilarity to help round out your week. Specially designed for the lazy web surfer, this gallery can be browsed using just your scroll wheel finger; simply scroll down, lol, then scroll down some more. Couldn’t be simpler!
In an alternate universe, that exists parallel to our own, film characters are affected by a strange disorder known as face folding, it also causes their voices to rise too and it can happen to anyone, but mostly it happens to Harry Potter and Scott Pilgrim, and characters from Star Wars. So spare a thought next time you watch one of these movies, that in another universe not far from out own, this terrible curse is afflicting your favorite movie characters.
Even the title of this alone is enough to open it up to absolute ridicule. But to be fair to M. Night Showaddywadday, it is based on a comic, a rather good comic at that, but M. Night manages to turn the source material into shite before your eyes and so, probably the only good thing to come out of this movie being made is this funny, funny Honest Trailer.
Sexism, it’s everywhere, and this little sketch sums up nicely how most men respond to any woman trying to talk about women in society and how they might not be on equal footing with men. But it’s their own fault for being so illogical and not making enough sammiches to satisfy their man. If they could just stop being so irrational and spend more time in the kitchen, their problems would be solved. Joke!
OK, enough cat videos and people falling over in kids’ playgrounds, it’s time to contemplate math and whether or not it exists or whether humanity dreamt it up and has been wrapped up in our own creation ever since. It’s like a math class but if the cast of Inception were your teachers. We need to go deeper and reach your inner-geek.
No, not that over there, that’s not Shanghai, but this here in this video is. Caught on camera in all its futuristic, 4000 skyscrapers glory — but photographer Rob Whitworth doesn’t just capture the stunning skyline but goes beyond that to find out what lies beneath in the metropolis below, including the street food and the stunning graffiti.
So books can open your mind, huh? Surely they’re only useful to reach the cookie jar on the kitchen shelf. But no, Lisa Bu, TED content distribution manager, here relates how books and stories taught her to forge her own path in life after her parents wanted her to follow a more mundane and well-travelled route. Conclusion: books are magical yo, we should all read at least ten a day.
