Funny Stuff What You Done Found on The Interweb

[Anonymous]

Thought it would be nice to have a special place for all the random shite one comes across on journeys around the interweb.

Here’s a couple to get started:

Pain on the shopping channel:

Bloopers from a very accident-prone fellow on an American fishing show:

Make sure you have your sound turned up. This website has the best jingle ever:

WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR THAT FOR SOMETHING SPECIFIC AAAAAGES AGO.

Now I can’t remember what it was, although obviously it was something to do with Rimmer.

[Ian Symes]

Erm, were we? I can’t have been paying attention if we were, given that I posted it on G&T about four years ago.

[Phil]

Who’s the guy with the H on his head? Is that Marleen?

[Seb Patrick]

>Erm, were we? I can?t have been paying attention if we were, given that I posted it on G&T about four years ago.

I know it was posted on G&T years back… but I was definitely looking for it ages ago, and asked around if anyone knew where it had got to…

[TheLeen]

> Spot how many you can recognize!

Harry Potter, Shearer, Mr Fawlty, Tony B., RIMSYPOO, uh… Austin Powers? Several Rolling Stones, Spice Girls, don’t recognise the others.

Dude with the bowler = the man from the 90s after eight adverts. Haha. No.

And the guys in the funny clothing, I have no idea who they are but they’re probably important and probably have something to do with queens and such. They look really silly though. But where are the large black furry hats?

[Danny Stephenson]

Beefeaters?

I’m wondering whether ‘austin powers’ is meant to be Elton John.

Tony Blair, Beckham, Keith Richards are also in there…

[Phil]

Yeah, that’s Elton John, I’m sure. And Ringo two behind him.

[Danny Stephenson]

Ringo two? Where is Ringo one? Surely Paul had two, when he died and was replaced by that imposter who won a competition to get plastic surgery and replace him seamlessly. The album code for Sgt Pepper’s proves it.

[pfm]

> when he died and was replaced by that imposter who won a competition to get plastic surgery and replace him seamlessly.

When I first heard about that conspiracy theory I, like most people I’m sure, paid it zero heed and just laughed it off, but since then I’ve been persuaded into believing that SOMETHING happened to McCartney at that time, but obviously he wasn’t permanently replaced by someone else!

People who believe it say you can tell it’s an imposter/impersonator because he had signs of having cosmetic surgery to make him look like McCartney. The real truth of it, obviously, is that McCartney has had plenty done to his face over the years, the first of it being done at the time when he was supposed to have ‘died’. He suddenly looked different, that’s because he had cosmetic surgery, not because he was replaced by a lookalike!

All of that’s without even thinking about the most obvious things like, why the hell would the truth never have come out and why does McCartney SOUND pretty much the same even now as he did back in the early ’60s?? The theorists say the guy was just a good impersonator. Utter bullshit!!!

[ChrisM]

That reminds me of part of the background story in Bubba Ho Tep. Except with Elvis of course.

[Arlene Rimmer BSc SSc]

I’ve heard it hypothesized in at least one corner of the Internet (George Harrison’s official messageboard, but the guy who thought it up hasn’t been there in ages) that the whole “Paul is dead” thing doesn’t represent a physical change in any of the band members so much as the Beatles’ fans (and the other Beatles, to some extent) subconsciously catching on to Paul subtly redefining his role in relation to the band (from equal member of the group, to something more like a front man with John, George and Ringo as his backup). I think it’s believable–a hell of a lot more believable than the standard “Paul is dead” theory, anyway–but then, my favorite’s George, so maybe I’m just biased that way =P .

edit: Altho’ it wouldn’t surprise me too much if Paul had had a bit of work done, either.

[Phil]

>Ringo two? Where is Ringo one?

Ringo two is behind Ringo one, and three ahead of Ringo five.

I don’t like games that call me a failure, especially when I was enjoying the flatulence noises…

[Danny Stephenson]

I?m in the process of making a Gondry-esque music video for my college project with a bit of Close Encounters and the influence of Chris Cunningham thrown in. I?ll Upload it to youtube/GoogleVid when it?s done.

I’ve been looking for this thread in order to update this. I’ve finished it.

It’s my first solo attempt into the video/animation world. Please be gentle.

Good work, Dan. VERY nifty.

[Ben Paddon]

Danny, that is without doubt the single greatest fan-made music video I’ve seen on YouTube. And I’m not just saying that.

[Jonathan Capps]

Ian is gay.

Final episode of Family Matters

He had it comin’.

[pfm]

Oh yeah!

Seriously, I have my penis in my hand. And I’m not even joking.

I’m sorry but this also had to be included just for the innuendo (unintentional or whatever, you decide!) at the beginning.

You know when there used to be moments in sitcoms where you’d genuinely cry laughing?

[ChrisM]

Heh. The Bohemian Rhapsody part dragged a bit for me, but the cannibalism/Tony part is very funny.

[Tanya Jones]

But the Bohemian Rhapsody part has “Will y’DO the fandango?”, which has me helpless with laughter every time.

[Phil]

>The Bohemian Rhapsody part dragged a bit

Get out.

[pfm]

The bit that gets me is ‘magnifico-o-o-o’

[TheLeen]

“very very firghtening” for me. Although “DO the fandango” comes close.

[Phil]

If you’re out with a group of friends and one of them is visibly irritated with the rest of you, “Let’s see who can screech the loudest!” is an excellent thing to say.

[pfm]

Linehan/Mathews obviously had a thing about being trapped in rooms/caves/caravans with annoying people! Even though Father Noel is a really overblown character everyone watching can relate to and laugh at the situation of having to sit listening to an annoying twat going on and on and on when you just want to GO! It’s the best form of comedy.

I hate sitcoms where too many lines are like gags instead of what someone might actually say in reality. This is why I dislike much of VI (Red Dwarf discussion is allowed on this forum, right?) – Rob and Doug suddenly decided that obviously the only thing anyone found funny about Dwarf was the gags. When I say ‘dislike’ I mean that in the same way as I ‘dislike’ going down on a woman, i.e. it’s still a fucking great experience, but the audience is enjoying it far more than I am, and in the end you’re just left with a bitter taste in your mouth…*tries to pry self away from keyboard*…’Today’s fish is trout a la creme, enjoy your meal.’ ‘You will!’

[Andrew]

Oh, splendid:

They spin the ‘Council print picture of wrong Birmingham’ story out for far longer than this ‘And Finally’ story deserves…yet nobody points out the ridiculousness of 750,000 leaflets being printed just to say ‘Thanks for recycling’!
