Skink and Shred

I have always liked Chris Elliot. He's a funny guy with a great sense of humor! This is a good parody of Dog TBH. Here's a few clips from the David Letterman show.








*Update-St Sanders-(Santeri Ojala) the author (whom I unfortunately forgot to name in the original posting) of these really funny guitarist clips, has had to pull these great clips from YouTube due to the original guitarists citing copyright infringement. Copyright infringement!? For pete's sake people, get a f'n life! These clips are parodies. They did not have original songs or music. Awful. Well, at least they are available at this Wired link Banned From YouTube: Parody Guitar Videos . (I'm leaving the old useless video posts as a testament to the idiocy of taking these funny clips down!)
Some more great guitarists whose playing has recently gone awry! Santana's guitar playing has really deteriorated since he played with Rob Thomas!



In this rare video of Ozzy when he had Jake E. Lee, its surprising to see just how bad Jake was in concert! Heck, even Ozzy's clapping is off!

Strips and clips just for you!

Now...just in time for Halloween. Its a sick tale of character assassination and suspense that follows the horror recipe to the letter!

I don't know...maybe I'm just reading too much into this, and you may or may not laugh; I know enough to tell you the laugh clause isn't binding.



I like bacon! Like those dog food commercials that came out a while back, Jim Gaffigan likes his Hot Pockets!



Do you have a heart on? This is one of those news anchor slip-ups that's just perfect! Boy, I bet she got teased about this boner! Sorry!

I don't know, this is more sad than funny. It's nuts! Nuts! Crazy! Our crazy gun culture at its worst. "Uhmm, hun, I can't sleep. I'm gonna go and get some milk and maybe that'll hel-BLAM! Jeez! I just shot my foot off!"

Spiders on drugs, dropped calls, and the sweet, sweet sound of music!

I really like spiders. c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/09/getting-back-to-basics-clips-comics-and.html If I find one in the house, I always get my junky ass "spider cup" from the garage and take it out. Not to dinner-outside! My wife doesn't like it, but now she will call me from the other room to get the spider out! Even black widows are safe from the waffle-like stomp of my shoes. I will take those out too, but most of the time I find them outside in a bad place-where our 7 year-old can possible make contact with her. I will get a cup and move it to a safe spot-in the neighbor's yard...neighbor's mailbox..in the other neighbor's swimming pool...just kidding. I move it to a far away spot or to the field next to our house. I would rather have more spiders-including black widows than a bunch of flies, mosquitoes, and grasshoppers wouldn't you?

I would like to see some spiders like these. It would be very interesting to see these particular spiders. "Uhh...wow, myaaan. I have like, 16 legs now!"



Here is a couple more c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/09/funny-commercials-and-fun-with-idioms.html great commercials. I am not much of a TV watcher. There are a few shows that I like, but not many. I do like some of the the new funny commercials, though.
The recent Cingular "dropped call" commercials are pretty funny.

Here are three-two "real" Cingular ads, and two other parodies of these ads.
The "butcher" ad: www.dhadm.com/content/cingular-att-dropped-calls-meat-dept/

The "Jimbo" ad: (Its kinda poor quality)



Here is one of the funnier Cingular parodies-(there's a lot out there!)




"Wrapped up like a Douche" parody:

I really love rock and roll. All kinds. Heavy rock especially, but I will listen to blues, soul, funk rap, pop, "indie"- whatever. I absolutely love guitar-based rock and roll though. I play some myself and pull out the old Gibson Les Paul, overdrive box and Fender amp and make some noise when I have the time. Some of the greatest rock guitarist's Cd's and mp3's are found in my collection and computer. I love Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Slash, Santana, etc, etc.
That's why its so distressing to see how musically out of shape some of these players have become lately. I think I could easily outplay these guys in their present state!

Don't believe me? Just check out this recent clip of Eddie VH jamming at a concert:



And what the hell happened to Eric Clapton?!

This is some crazy *&^%$#@, you know!?

Here's some more humorous videos for your giggling pleasure! This first one is an oldy but a goody! An old (1966?) pro wrestling "challenge" clip-(gee, things haven't changed too much in the pro wrestling world!) where The Crusher speaks his mind about his challenger-Bruno Sammartino . In detail. With specificity. All that information given in a voice that makes my throat hurt.



Here is a clip from that crazy as hell Pastor Fred Phelps. You know, does anyone other than his inbred mutant family actually listen to his incoherent ramblings? If there are people other than family that look up to the teachings of Pastor Fred at the Westboro Baptist Church, (look at this crap if you dare! www.godhatesfags.com/main/index.html) and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Phelps let them sing out in a chorale of sick twisted demented arias. I don't believe there are. (we are in trouble if there are people who look to this "church" for their teachings!)
Here he is rambling, and I do mean rambling about Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert-the godless sodomites!


This next clip really got me for a little while. I thought, just maybe, its real! Then I did a little research and found it to be a great parody of the mentality of the Christian Right's view of gay people. The production, video and delivery is what you would think a Christian singer might have for a song like this, so it makes it funnier!



At first, with the next video clip, you may wonder what is this all about? Well, its about evidence. Check out what the police officer is carrying out in that box. Its not drugs! (looks like he tried to get by the TV news cameras quickly, but failed!)

Here's a couple of strips for the Fun With Idioms theme: Idiot Idioms!

Shoots! Ladders! ...and the N-word!

Hey people! Hope you all are ready for the weekend. I sure am! I just started a new job as an itinerant special education teacher, and I am really busy! Its a different busy from my previous job as a special education classroom teacher. Of course I get to travel to different schools and meet all kinds of people, but I have a lot more schedules to meet and a lot more meetings!

Time for some videos! The first clips are not at all controversial, but the ones by the Onion and Dave Chappelle are both dealing with the same, really controversial topic.

What is it with all those Home Shopping Network-type things with ladder mishaps!? I found at least two ladders featured on these shows that seem to be made of highly questionable, safety standards or shaky material!



I have almost every anthology of the Onion www.theonion.com/content/index there is. (Speaking of which I need to go check out the latest!) I really love that type of snarky, ironic humor! The way that the writers use the idiosyncrasies of newspaper to score humorous bulls eyes almost every time is perfect! When I started to see the video edition of the Onion, I was a little unsure about how their type of humor would translate. It works! I love the Onion News Network!
This next clip from the Onion News Network is about the nastiest, crudest, and vulgar clip I have ever posted, but dammit, its funnier than hell! Don't say I didn't warn you! If you don't like or can't take bad language, sexual content, and nudity, this one's not for you!
glumbert - Use Of 'N-Word' May End Porn Star's Career

Now, this next one is one I really debated posting too. This one also involves the "N-word." But not really that "N-word!" I would not ever use that word. I don't like it, I don't even like hearing black people use it. This Dave Chappelle clip though is hilarious-you're laughing even while you're feeling guilty for laughing so hard! Dave Chappelle is a master at turning racism on its ugly head, showing the irony and hypocrisy and stupidity of racism while making us laugh our asses off! He is much better at dealing with racism issues than Carlos Mencia is. For some reason, Mencia sounds like he really means it when he does a racist joke. Chappelle, although blunt, makes it sound less ham-handed and or course more funny than Mencia. At least I think so!
I had posted a clip of his from his show about the black KKK guy (which heDave talks about in the intro to the next clip c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/06/hey-guys-hope-you-all-had-great-weekend.html and this one is in the same vein. Kinda. If you are offended by the use of that word, then don't watch this. Its pretty damn funny, and its a Dave Chappelle clip!





Ha! Talk about truth in advertising!

Been Caught Stealing

*I'm stealing a couple of clips I saw on Because I Was Bored, one of my blogmates. He has some pretty funny clips-check them out!

I hate telemarketers. I love to answer and give false names like, "Hello, this is Mark Gisselpoip" John T. Crissmuelahoff, or I even make up a language! Sometimes I do something like "Hello! Domino's Pizza, can I help you?" Most of the time, I/we don't answer if we see the telltale caller id, but sometimes, (especially when they've really been calling a lot and some can be more persistent) I get in the mood to give them a hard time. With my luck I will probably mess with someone who is trying to give away some money! Nah! Probably not!
This audio clip is a royal telemarketer payback! This comedian, Tom Mabe tommabe.com/ really does a number on this poor guy! I kinda felt sorry for the guy by the end of the clip!
http://www.becauseiwasbored.com/2007/10/02/i-did-a-reverse-prank-call/

Here is a clip about another poor guy who wants to do himself in, but he is very unsuccessful!
http://www.becauseiwasbored.com/2007/10/02/i-made-a-home-video/

I made a reference to Kanye West a while back c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/09/some-quick-thoughts.html but now, after seeing this clip from his appearance on SNL, I'm gonna give him a little more slack. At least he can make fun of himself. Does a pretty good job too!
http://www.becauseiwasbored.com/2007/10/02/i-met-kanye-west/

Geez! I better stop here! There's too much stuff to steal! This is perfect! I love this! Newsroom film gaffes and miscues have always been a good source of humor, but this one is pure gold!

The Origin of Specious....Humor

I was tagged by blog buddy American Scot to discuss the evolution of my blog. I thought his description of the process of his blog Aye! americanscot.blogspot.com/2007/10/memes-word.html was interesting. Some of the ideas and feelings he has felt in writing his great blog are similar to mine. Actually, I looked back at some of the posts he had done before I had discovered his blog and couldn't stop reading! I am copying the format of how he described the development of his fine blog:

I don't think my reason to begin blogging is as deep or as serious (especially at the beginning for me) as my blog-mates. I just thought I could try blogging-I love to mess around on the computer, so I thought... and I thought... about what type of blog I would have. I thought of politics or social issues and music, but then humor-especially humor that was sometimes overlooked by the "mainstream" sites/blogs.

After I had decided upon humor, I wanted to go with video clips and comics, so I finally decided on having comedians comics and humorous clips. The name C3 just kind of fit description of the content I wanted to do. There was a problem though. I had qualms about having a name associated with explosives! I ended up going with it, but sometimes I wonder what people think when they see the name "C3 Fun" for the first time! Oh well. At times the humor can be explosive around here, I guess. (I hope!)

*My first post I wanted to put a strip by one of my favorite cartoonists, Dan Piraro's Bizarro. I was a little hesitant about this, since this was going to be my first ever blog and I didn't know all the things about copyrights etc. I sent an email to Dan and he sent a message back right away-I could copy his strips and use stuff off the Bizarro website http://www.bizarro.com/ as long as I let him know I was going to use stuff, and didn't try to make money off the strips. He was very cool about it! Nicolas Gurewitch of Perry Bible Fellowship fame http://pbfcomics.com/ was also very nice about me wanting to use his comics. Matthew Caverhill of Culture Kills http://rantocracy.blogspot.com/ really helped me out when I was first starting out! He answered questions that I had, and boy did I have a lot, since I had never done this before.

1. My first post(s) http://c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/06/hi-gang-what-i-would-like-to-do-is-to.html was a Bizarro strip, a Whitest Kids U Know skit and a video of some nut in North Carolina! I got nervous and posted a second batch of clips: George Lopez, Jim Carrey, and impressionist Rob Magnotti. I was trying to do just what I had planned to do: have unique clips of comedians and comedy, and comics. Man was I nervous, though!

2. I wanted to be different from the numerous humor sites found on the Internet. I didn't want to have crap like guys skateboarding over steps and falling down and breaking their legs. Or people drunk and having burping contests. I didn't want to have those prank videos that are found a lot on the 'net either. (even though some of those are kinda funny, the goal was trying to be unique)

3. I started trying my hand at doing comics. http://c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/06/blog-post.html and this one http://c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/06/blog-post_2390.html were my first strips. Luckily for me, there are sites which let you make your own comics without being an actual artist. Sites like Witty Comics http://www.wittycomics.com/ Stripcreator www.stripcreator.com/ and StripGenerator stripgenerator.com/ have all been instrumental in allowing me to create (hopefully funny!) strips without any musical talent. My tools I guess are pretty "primitive"-I do a screen capture of the strip, and then copy it into Paint(!) then use Picasa to edit it and then save it to my desktop for me to grab! Sometimes its a pain in the ass to do! I sometimes wish I had better tools, but I don't do too many of my own strips anyway. It is hard to come up with ideas for the strips and that is why you will see that sometimes I have two or three, one, or none! It depends on what I come up with in my rotten head, or what is the topic of current social dilemmas!

4. I had always meant for this blog to be politics-neutral, but that went out the window when I began to click links and see other blogs that do have politics and social conditions discussed or brought up often. Blogs like Aye and Some Guy's Blog andsomeguysblog.blogspot.com/ , Monkey Muck monkeymucker.blogspot.com/, and Jon Swift http://jonswift.blogspot.com/ have all taught me that it is ok to say what you feel, and if you can say and be funny, then that is all the better! My most overtly socio-political post was probably where I named 5 people I have a seriously hard time liking http://c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/08/top-5-people-i-cant-stand.html. I want to do something like that again-there are a few more people like that I just have to name to get it off my chest! Seeing the aforementioned blogs really has energized me to speak my mind!

5. Lately I have been having a difficult time finding the time to find good, unique material that hasn't been posted (or in not so many places) somewhere else. Thanks goodness there is YouTube to embed clips! I would hate to have to link to some sites that have those uhh...err.. ads...on the side! (funny story: I once sent my father in-law a link to a clip I had thought was funny-I didn't notice that there were ads for porn or porn-like sites on the side, until it was mentioned to me later-boy was that embarrassing!) Its hard to find good comedians' clips that people will like, that aren't the "popular" comedians. I think some of it may be that YouTube is afraid of featuring artists' clips for fear of lawsuits. And fan videos of comedians' concerts are sometimes of poor quality.
It has been hard to think of good material for comics also-I have got to give credit to all the cartoonists who do it every day and most of the strips are funny! I can't do that! And they actually do their own drawings!
As far as funny clips-there are always funny ones but I try to find the stuff that's more obscure. I think that's why I got the Transmundane (Year 2-Week 4) award from Culture Kills..., for this one http://c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/06/i-remember-seeing-this-next-clip-long.html !

I am going to continue to look for great clips, and find great cartoonists to feature here! I will probably continue to make some comics now and then too. Hope that you all find the time to stop by and look.

* Update-I just redid the links for my earlier posts that were not working! Sorry!

I am going to pass this meme to 5 others now:
