To those who say Conan isn’t funny and never has been, we submit this clip, where he engages in a dance-off with Stephen Colbert (and later, Jon Stewart). Full of win.
I feel like if you’re going to boycott the candy store, you’ve got to leave all the candy alone. I feel like Arizona is the candy store.
Arizona Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce • Making an entertaining douchebag claim to the city of Los Angeles after the city promised to boycott the state over their immigration bill. Pierce’s claim: You make 25 percent of your power for L.A. in Arizona, and we’re gonna shut it down! If you think that’s kinda jerkish. You should see the response by the city’s energy manager, where he points out the city owns the plants. Key highlight: “I might add that, as the City’s Job Czar, I certainly would welcome any conventions or meetings that were going to be held in Arizona to come to Los Angeles. We have fantastic facilities and incomparable weather and we’d welcome them to the City of Angels.” Ouch. Take that, jerkwad! source
First question: Why were they even covering this particular topic on the local news in the first place? Second question: Is this funnier than “Keep ducking that chicken” or not? (Note: The above clip features kind of “adult” humor. Don’t show it to kids.)
This classic of viral video form has been floating around the Web for a solid half-decade or so. Winnebago Man, a.k.a. Jack Rebney, proved himself the master of profanity in the above video, a clip Conan O’Brien named one of his favorite YouTube clips as part of their fifth anniversary celebration, and will get a banner treatment later this year as part of the awesome-sounding documentary “Winnebago Man.” True story: The guy now lives on a mountain. source

» The backstory: Three months ago, this ReadWriteWeb article somehow hit the magical SEO combination that made it the first item on Google when you search for “facebook login.” Hundreds of people got lost on a fairly tech-savvy site. Techies laugh and get depressed at regular intervals. To this day, it’s still one of the site’s most popular articles ever.
Somehow, they made it dirtier. Last night’s “SNL” had a spot-on parody of the infamous “Shake Weight” commercial, an exercise device that looks like, uh, something else. The sketch show’s angle? The commercial is so good that they might as well sell it on DVD.
Well, that’s a clever twist on the whole campaign ad. An ad by the other side, mocking stuff the one guy said. It was clearly made with no money and liberally infringes on copyright. But it might be just what McCain needs to stay in the race.
We’ve been avoiding Tiger as much as humanly possible this week because we’re sick of talking about him, but this clip above is a good reason to acknowledge his existence. Keep that rage in check, bro. The whole world is watching.
We want him to do this everywhere. With that same annoyed look. We would post every single video of him doing it, because good grammar deserves rewards.
