Humor
As you’ve likely noticed, most of us here are pretty hilarious. A little known fact is that we actually run a comedy school here in Canada, and have trained some of the most funny people in the industry (this is a lie). However, not everyone appreciates our humor, so we promise to bring you the best of the rest, so to speak. We’re obviously more funny than these other people, but every so often someone creates an amusing video, and we’ll make sure to post it here.
I never thought the day would come when I would be writing a post about underwear for your hands (that type of thing is usually reported by Eddie), otherwise known as Handerpants; get it? I think I can say now I’ve seen it all. The Handerpants are probably one of the most ridiculous “inventions” I’ve seen in a while but for some odd reason I just have to have a pair or two; they’re simply awesome.
“Handerpants, the underpants for your hands” have been around for a while and are available at the pop-culture store Archie McPhee and will cost you $11.95 a pair, a bit more expensive than the Hanes variety. Hit the jump to watch the awesome Handerpants infomercial below. continue reading →
It’s been a long time since I’ve had the pleasure of playing a 16bit adventure game, but this video rekindles all the fond memories I have of old Nintendo RPGs, such as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. College Humor created the world of Westeros how they envisioned, in full 16bit glory, complete with midi music and, in the spirit of Game of Thrones, copious amounts of sex and… family love. If you’ve seen the show or read the Song of Ice and Fire novels, you know that Jamie Lannister has a real thing for his sister Cersai, and what better way to continue reading →
What you see above is the type of playground that was common before the 1990s – the type of playground that is both awesome, and able to harm children in many grisly ways – a feature which makes it doubly awesome. In the last 20 years, parents have lobbied to crack down on these so-called “dangerous” playgrounds because of their fear of harm coming to their lame-ass kids. Apparently modern parents think it’s a bad thing for their sons and daughters to come home with gaping animal wounds, or broken bones, and that’s where I say they’re wrong. continue reading →
When I was a child, I desperately wanted my parents to take me camping. I had friends that would go during their summer vacation, and when they returned from their trips, they would tell me about all the amazing things they did. My parents never did take me, but as a young adult I started going with my friends. I always just borrowed a tent, but on my latest camping adventure me and my girlfriend decided to use a tent that she picked up at Wall-Mart – the Ozark Trail Wedge Dome tent. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to have your body punished on a torture rack, read on. The details are gruesome, but perhaps my suffering will spare you a weekend of agony.
When my girlfriend so generously decided to pick up a tent for us, she did so under the assumption that what the camping company wrote on the box was correct. You see, this is true of most things. When I buy a 1 liter carton of milk, I reasonably assume that it has 1 liter of milk. Apparently this whole “accuracy thing” isn’t the case for the camping industry. When a tent is labeled as capable of sleeping 3, what that really means is that the tent may be able to hold one small legless infant uncomfortably. In the case of the wonderful Ozark tent, this was exactly the case, sans legless baby. The tent was so unbelievably small that even with almost nothing in it, I still had a terrible nights sleep and, after having finally passed out from exhaustion, woke only to find that I had pressed myself against the soaking wet nylon wall. Lovely.
If you’ve never been camping, or you’ve decided to make the jump from having your friends supply all the gear, to bringing your own, do yourself a favor and size up in the tent department. You’ll pay a bit extra, but when you see your friends stretching and even *gasp* standing up in their luxurious 12 person tents (note: holds 3-4 comfortably) you’ll be glad you took my advice and spent the extra money.
As most of you know, I’m a rather religious fellow. I started following the ways of Vishnu, and his brothers Jesus and Allah many years ago, and their teachings have never steered me wrong. The problem with religion, though, is that there just isn’t enough friendly competition. Religions the world over have worked together peacefully for so many millenia that I’m starting to feel like they’ve lost their sense of competition, and that’s why I’m so happy to see these two churches competing. They both feel strongly about a topic, and they’re making their opinions known. They don’t waste their time discussing useless topics like poverty and violence, and instead chose to shed light on a question that has haunted humanity since the dawn of time; do animals truly have souls? Do all dogs go to heaven?
Apparently not; it seems that all creatures save man are barred from entering the pearly gates. Heaven only has a limited amount of real estate, and filling the place with continue reading →
The lengths that some people go to lose a few pounds of weight never ceases to amaze me. There was a time when a person would decide that they’re overweight and actually, you know… lift some weights, or eat less, or go play a sport. Now the world is full of crash diets, and tape-worm filled pills, and insidious exercise machines such as the shake-weight. But fear not, because now there’s a new way to lose weight using the power of horse movements! Yes, you read that correctly – horses. People wander around a gymnasium cantering and trotting and otherwise acting like a horse. I can’t decide whether to laugh or cry. I’m glad that people are getting off their ass to actually exercise, but horses… really? Watch the video and decide for yourself. continue reading →
Have you ever been told that you look like a celebrity or that you remind them of somebody? If somebody tells you that, you would think that it is a compliment. But that is not necessarily the case every time. If you don’t know what I mean, just have a look below.
So before you go bragging to your buddies about how some hot chick told you that you look like a celebrity, do yourself a favor and do a Google image search. Sometimes the person you look like may not even be…. a person. continue reading →
HBO’s Game of Thrones has been, by far, the best show on television this year and I watch is religiously for the cool scenes, action, and of course boobs. If you love the show as much as I do then I know you hate the Lannister family and especially that inbred little weasel Joffrey Baratheon Lannister. I can’t wait to see him ripped to pieces but for now seeing him bitch slapped by his uncle Tyrion is satisfying. Hit the jump to see Joffrey get slapped by Tyrion for 10 minutes straight.
The video does start out a bit slow at the beginning but wait till the 40 second mark for the real action to start continue reading →
I’m a hardcore Metallica fan, but even I have to admit that this version of the classic board game is looking pretty ridiculous. There’s not a lot of info on this hard rocking version of Monopoly just yet, but I can only imagine that a game that already incites friends to ruthless violence over neon coloured play money will get that much more serious when you introduce Metallica themed elements into play. Here’s to hoping Kill ‘Em All replaces Community Chest, Ride The Lightning becomes Chance, and when you see the light at the end of your tunnel, it’s just the B&O Railroad coming your way. If you’ve somehow managed to avoid bludgeoning a buddy to death because he won’t help you complete your Pacific Ave. set, you’re a better person than me, but maybe this more manly, amped up version will be just the thing to let your primal, leather-wearing real estate mogul shine through.
The Metallica Collector’s Edition Monopoly board game will be available through the Metallica Store sometime later this week.
Are you the type of person that keeps hitting the snooze button every time the alarm goes off? While you do get a bit of extra sleep, you’re most likely in a major rush when you do finally decide to get up and then not have enough time for breakfast and a shower. You’re not only going to be hungry but you are also going stink when you do finally get to work.
We may have a solution for you; check out this alarm clock that shreds money if you don’t get up in time to stop it. I don’t know about you, I like money and would gladly jump out of bed on time to avoid my precious benjamins from being shredded to pieces. Don’t go running to your local gadget store though, this is a gag product and only a concept but clever nonetheless. continue reading →
