RIP Jon Swift

Hard to believe this, but I just heard from Bluegal that Jon Swift-aka Al Weisel-died on February 27. His dear mom had posted a comment to let his fans know that he had passed. I had kept going back to his blog periodically to check and see if he would post something, anything-I loved his blog and back when I started, his was the first to check for new posts. The guy could write! He could make you laugh your ass off, and make a point at the same time.
He gave people like me, a chance to shine a little with his annual "Best Blog Posts of 20.." He was loved by both the left and right. He just seemed happy to contribute to any kind of social-political discussion of the day!

I sure hope his blog is kept online. I want to be able to go back once and while and laugh, and get some insight from reading some of the best blog posts ever written.

I know I will miss you, "Jon."

From Behind?! And It Sometimes Comes From Your Behind!

This is an old one but after viewing this video again, I took a look at some of the comments. Quite a few of these are pretty damn funny and witty. Watch the video and then look at the comments for the full effect. Yep-there are the usual stupid, racist and unintelligible Youtube comments, but there are some real come from behind winners! Take you pick.

My Comcast homepage has some dumb ass advertising from different mortgage companies-you know, those stupid people who dance when the cursor is placed on the photo, the lady who looks like she's screaming, etc. The latest one I have seen though, is f'n hilarious. What the hell is wrong with this guy?! It looks like he has just sensed that he is going to have a horrible case of diarrhea, not viewed his latest mortgage payment! Click to see his pained expression!

This post might give you a heart attack.

Ok. Remember the "Tourettes Guy?" Remember him? Offensive in name as in words, but I admit, damn funny!


This guy might be his successor! This heavy,heavy guy is funny as hell! Heavy, man! His humor carries a lot of weight. His humor is phat...I mean fat. He ain't heavy, he's my brother. Sorry, got carried away there!

YES!

Yes.

Yes!

Values-they're great! (for some people!)

I thought this was hilarious. Mike Stark-progressive blogger, Youtuber- mrcawguy activist and intrepid hounder of the right-went to the Value Voters Summit, and rightfully chided the attendees about why certain righties with shady values were invited to speak or were even allowed to show their face-given their history. If you haven't heard about the VVS 2009 Value Voters Summit this is a collection of politicians, pundits, and cheerleaders that are the furthest to the far right you can get. In this video, Stark takes a cue from the Fox "ambush" guys and gives these guys a taste of their own medicine. I found the slow-moving, "Eyore"-turtle-looking guy to be the funniest. (what is the deal with that guy!?) Maybe he is ashamed to be appearing at this collection of nutcases, I don't know.




This is indicative of these people on the far right-when they have a sticky hypocritical stance, don't discuss it or try to 'splain yourself-just avoid the issue altogether.

When Comments Attack....They're Hilarious!

This is quite possibly the funniest, silliest, and most ridiculous anonymous (I've only gotten 3 maybe-since I started) comment I have ever received here! It is amazing in it's simplicity and stupidity at the same time. Whoever you are that penned this great prose in honor of your hero, Thanks! I was trying to find stuff to post, and I think your comment will do for a bit. It's incredible-Thanks again.
The post that spurred "anonymous" to submit their eloquence upon thee. Or thy.

Oh look. It's a ghost. Yawn.

you are the idiot ghost are real i hope you get a close look at one some day and shit your pants and second zak is the hotest guy out there your just a wee bit jealouse that he has all the girls talking and we dont even know who the hell you are!

These guys are lovers, not fighters

Came across another great Youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/surgewakefield where this guy makes remixes of current events in America. These first two clips are from that channel. Really great interesting stuff, with a few of the clips including some wry social commentary.
Funny dubbed up clip of Maher/West conflict:



The real moral: Don't condemn people for doing the same fucking things you are doing yourself.

This is just sad. Dating in the 1980's.

When all else fails-try using immature pranks and farting

Update: Hey friends-I was Googling something about Glenn Beck, when I came across a really great blog with a really funny, wish-I had-thought-of that-one-for-my-blog-name: New World Odor(!) New World Odor This blog is done by a cool guy named Paul Sonderman. Please check it out for all things informative, humorous and of course, progressive...uhhm...but not that fascist kind of progressive, Glenn!

Just happened to come across these while making my usual rounds within Youtube. Yes these are silly, teenaged (hell, maybe even less than teenaged!)pranks and jokes, but dammit they're pretty funny when you've just had a s#%# week, and its WEEKEND TIME!
These two videos are from the collection of pranks and jokes on the Youtube channel-http://www.youtube.com/user/edbassmaster These guys have a huge collection of silly pranks like hidden camera pranks, including prank calls, parodies, and stuff like these two videos.

Pranks like this are something I have always wanted to do but have not. Why? Because my wife would probably pinch the hell out me and give me hell for doing it, and we are ordering food, so...I don't want anything to be...uhmm added to that food. I have asked for a large pizza at McDonalds and ordered a competitor's burger at these joints but no more than that!




Ok-I know this is gross, but the reactions on the people's faces are funny, and hey-it's a human condition alright!? These aren't even real. It's some kinda fart machine or something.

Things I Don't Get/Why Do You Do This?!

Here are some things I don't get:
*I apologize if you do, say, or have one the things mentioned here:

1. Why do people say "what's up?" with a terse edge to it? When you come to talk to them in the office-they aren't busy, they're just sitting there, you have worked with them for a while and you yet you still get that damn "what's up?" thing with the why are you bothering me? attitude?

2. Why do people not get completely into the turn area/middle lane, and just leave enough of the right rear corner of their car so that you have to stop/slow and edge into the right lane risking your car getting hit all because these people can't pull their damn car completely and straightly into the turning lane?

3. People who continually (not once in a while) make their point by asking a rhetorical question, then answering that question, then asking another, then answering that one, one after another, after another...

4. People who overuse the sarcastic phrase: Hello?!

5. Guys who wear their baseball caps backwards

6. Guys who wear their baseball caps sideways and askew

7. Guys who have absolutely no hair on their face (and sometimes not on their head either) but have that one tiny patch of hair-between their mouth and chin. What's that all about.

8. The sagging gang pants thing is bad enough, but then why do you have the emo kids wearing those super tight straight leg pants....with the sag somehow put in the ass area?! WTF?




I have been wondering this myself.

I have seen some funny "talking animal" videos, but this one is one of the funniest and well done. From BBC-TV-unfortunately only those in the UK can view those episodes not already posted to Youtube.

Hot, sweaty comedy

In looking at my Sitemeter readings, I have noticed that many people click on this link:
http://c3fun.blogspot.com/2008_06_15_archive.html . In fact, this link is the most popular, and has been for months. It's probably because this post has a link to a blog that has lots of photos of celebrities sweating. Yeah, that's it.
What, are you kidding me!? Are you f'n nuts!? It's because of those hot, sweaty photos of Ashanti. Yeah, tell you what, I have clicked on that link "just to check if there is any comments"-a lot!
Seeing this clip from Lev Yilmaz' Tales of Mere Existence made me think of that old post!



I thought this guy (Jimmy Carr) was funny on The Tonight Show.

*I added The Good Kentuckian to my blog links. I mentioned TGK, and Liberals Must Die a while back http://c3fun.blogspot.com/2009/04/too-busy-to-do-much-but-these-are-great.html . This is a great blog folks. There is, apparently, a gentleman angry at the authors of this blog! This person-"Jay" wrote: "you should be ashamed to call yourself Christians, Americans, or Kentuckians, none of these three groups want people like you." He didn't get it. he started his own "The Real Good Kentuckian" lol! TGK is sarcasm, parody-buddy! Oh well- check it out! Very, very funny-irreverent comedy.

This post is only for the stinky, jerky people out there.

Hmmm....I think I may have to get some of this!



The people who made this thing (probably men!) are real jerks!

Oh look. It's a ghost. Yawn.

Do any of you watch and enjoy the T.V. shows Ghosthunters, Ghost Adventures, or The Scariest Places On Earth? If so, sorry if I offend you with what I am about to say. First of all, I don't believe in ghosts, so that's part of my disdain for these shows, but not only that, these shows don't even provide a cheap thrill! They're actually more comedies than anything that's thrilling!
I hate these dumb shows with all my heart! These shows are ridiculous! They are dumb. (Have I said dumb enough?)
Let me count the ways these shows are dumb for each dumb show. Maybe you'll agree or nod your head with a knowing-"yeah that guy is telling it like it is about those f#$^% up, sh!#@ headed, mother@$%^&% shows." Well, maybe you won't say it exactly like that, but something along those lines. Well here goes. I am stating my case.

Ghosthunters: (My wife likes to watch Ghosthunters so I try not to make fun of it too much in front of her!)

1. When Joe the Plumber lookalike Jason Hawes says with a straight face, "this may be a residual haunting" to some homeowner, that's just.....dumb. Residual haunting....

2. When Grant Wilson says "This is an EVP. (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) This will record any supernatural voices that our human ears will not pick up." I would love to be on the set to tell him, "Yeah right!" "That's probably your 2 year-old playing with his toys, and that other noise is Jason taking a crap!"


3. The show is horribly edited-It's choppy as hell. Homeowners with "ghosts" are asked something about their experiences with "their" ghosts, at the beginning or the end of the segment, so they give them about a minute or two to talk, then baldy and greasy will cut them off, by jumping out of their seats and say, "ok lets set up," or will shake their hand at the end of segment. It seems all interactions on this show are like this. Even the ghosts are cut off. They could be experiencing a lot of "phenomena," but still, Joe the Plumber and Grant will tell everyone to start packing up-they gotta go! Caspar be damned.

The Scariest Places on Earth:
1. hosted by Linda Blair and narrated by Zelda Rubinstein of Poltergeist fame-Zelda tries to sound scary, but really-those voiceovers of hers! They make her sound like she just got up from a long nap! And poor Linda sounds tired and in need of a nap!


2. The "scary" parts consist of showing people's faces, filmed with nightvision lenses, screaming about something they just heard and which the TV audience does not hear. "Arrrgh! Did you hear that?!" (no we didn't) "Oh God! Did you just hear THAT?!" (again we didn't hear THAT either) That's pretty much it-just repeat that 10 times.


Ghost Adventures:
Boy-imaginative title huh? This one is the worst in my opinion. It consists of an idiot (Zak Bagans) yelling at ghosts with his stupid, greasy, shitty hair. "Hey dude-ghost! Come on out and fight like a real ghost, dude!" This guy is irritating! Most of the time, Bagans will hear something that only he can hear, or be tapped on the shoulder (very convienient that only Zak seems to get tapped or nudged by ghosts!) He'll jump up and shout "Dude! Did you just hear that?!" Most of the time no one has, but sometimes there is the faint sound of something, maybe someone's stomach growling.

This blog did an excellent job of describing this show and Bagans-and I concur wholeheartedly, so I will let you click the link to check it. His description of Mr. Bagans is perfect. (the description of this show is about 1/2 way down the article) C'mon, Ghost! Wait, Wait, I Didn't Mean It! - Sheldon The ...


I would love to see a parody of these shows... oh, wait a minute. Here's a couple of clips from YT comedy group Fried Nothing Television friednothing

Oooooww... Face! Book!

I recently joined Facebook at the urging of a fellow special education teacher. I don't know-I just can't get that "into it" so far. It's a little overwhelming for me. Although I do enjoy the "chat" feature and "chatted" with Lisa from That is Why for a while the other day! There's just too much info for me. I log on, and check out stuff, but I can't take it all in. Maybe it will take some time getting used to. My little questions with Facebook aren't the same are these individuals though:



Geez this is stupid! I mean she's stupid. This is from a comedy troupe called Quiet Library QuietLibrary Boy oh boy! You need to check these people out on their Youtube channel if you haven't already! Internet sketch comedy is often dark, running the limits of taste (Derrickcomedy and Thewhitestkidsuknow for example) and "edgy," and these guys do have some clips that are very dark, but well played out, and ultimately funny as hell!

Are you with me on this?

I sometimes watch Chris Matthews' Hardball. As I have said before in other posts, I don't watch much TV. In watching this show, I find Matthews to be sometimes kind of irritating.

It's his manner of speaking, and his pronunciation of words that gets me.

I know I am being nit-picky, superficial and silly but this affects my ability to watch Hardball. His pronunciation of certain words or names like Cheney get to me. He pronounces the name "Cheeney." Yes, there's an interesting controversy about this particular pronunciation: Liz Cheney v. Lynne Cheney/Chris Matthews on Pronunciation . (So maybe he's actually correct here!)
But there are other little things he says that just add up to irritation-at least to me. He pronounced Holocaust several times the other day as "Hollycaust"; he pronouced zealot, which I would pronounce and I would assume most other people would pronounce as "zeh-lut"; as "zeh-lot"- accenting the first syllable, instead of balancing both. He reads news items incorrectly all the time. They're all jumbled up, mixed up. He starts reading a quote, then has to start over-all the time. He asks people for their viewpoints, then interrupts them while they are speaking to ask about something else.
Also, that weird, downward-turned mouth of his. What's with that?! Is it just me?!

I know-it's stupid.

I subscribe to The Frank Factor channel on Youtube. TheFrankFactor He's like an uncensored, raging Billo, but on the complete opposite side of the political spectrum. I check him out when I need an antidote for the righty stuff I sometimes check out. If you check him out, keep in mind that he is raging! He uses a lot of cussing to get his point across!
He uses the term "fucktard" a lot! I can't help it but when I think of the term "fucktard," I think along these lines:

New Music News and Other Crap

While Dick Cheney has been hitting the talk show circuit in earnest,he also has been trying something new lately-music! Yes, Dick has decided, what the heck-he was gonna go for it, and try doing a little rapping. He always knew he had it in him.
This is the front and back of his debut offering-"Jus' Dickin' Around"



I have always liked the show Just Shoot Me. We even got a DVD of the series a few years back. One of my favorite characters was Kevin, played by Brian Posehn. The guy was born for comedy-just look at him! Funny delivery, voice, looks-you can't go wrong with that! I hadn't realized he was such a funny standup comedian. (NSFW)

So there I was minding my own business....

...trying desperately to find that one video clip of Valerie Bertinelli in her blue bikini by the pool. (Thanks Marie Osmond-what a ditz you are! Without your silly, jealous, maybe prudish(?) comments about the 49 year-old Valerie in a bikini and the subsequent gossip show's reports-that included a glimpse of Val in said bikini-I would not have known there was such a glorious testimony to the effects of someone like Val working her...a-well...extra pounds off-she still has curves! and it gives me uhhm...inspiration to work out myself.)
I know-most of this post sounds like so many double entendres! Most-(really-no kidding!) are not meant to be-they just came out ....awww forget it!

So... I came across some Youtube clips of gorgeous Valerie! Little did I know that I would also come across some of the weirdest, funniest YT comments I have seen in a while! *Just to let you know-as with many Youtube comments-these are some of the most nasty, profane, silly, immature, sexist, and mean spirited digital diatribes unleashed against people. Sometimes they can be kinda funny to point out though!

*(Click to enlarge)On one clip- (channel names/commenter names taken off to protect the innocent, even though I know you can check them out on YT yourself. People don't need any more or unwanted attention on YT) There's one guy who comments about the clip fairly innocuously-but gets his head chewed off by another commenter. At the end of the exchange, the 1st guy gets the last laugh!
In another VB clip "pants around the ankles guy" shows up again! Relentless, he is!



I checked out "super angry commenter's" (from the first screenshot) channel. Looks like someone's got anger issues!



Yes-Ms. Bertinelli has inspired many comments. Including guys(?) who want Valerie to wear a certain type of bikini...and horny guys who get ridiculed by other guys...
...and what's with the "pink polka dot" guy!? In another VB bikini clip (yes-I checked them all out!) he's still got "designs" on Valerie's swimwear!



Finally-of all the strange, horny, disgusting comments directed at Valerie, the next two have to be the strangest! What is the deal with the Illuminati amidst the hottie?! I mean, you're seeing all these slobbering guys' comments, and then this weird stuff about aliens and Alex Jones pops up! I don't get it!





I really need to lose some since we're talking about extra pounds! Speaking of weight issues...just saw a repeat TV medical show about that heaviest man in the world. Ugh! Reminds me of this clip!

Home Liposuction Kit - watch more funny videos

Ok....what the hell are you people after!?

This is kinda freakin' me out, ok?


What are you people looking for?! Tell me! I have been looking at my Sitemeter readings for the last week or so, and for some reason a bunch of people have been looking at this archive: http://c3fun.blogspot.com/2008_02_24_archive.html It contains a response to a tag from Jen at Casual Slack, an Onion News video about Nascar, a dumb poem I did about flying like a bird, a thing about Adam Levine, and a dumb thing I did about Obama and Hillary before the Primary.


Could it be the Adam Levine thing? Some twisted people trying to find pics of him? Can't be my stuff. The Onion thing can be found on Youtube proper, so that's out. What the heck is it?! It's driving me nuts since these visits just seemed to jump all of a sudden.

Let me know-are there some Adam Levine crazies out there? Most of the time I can tell what caused the jump from my usual say, 10 daily visits to maybe 50-60. Not this time. But I do have suspicions it's you Adam Levine nuts. Am I right?


I saw this funny guy Andy Borowitz' stuff on the Huffington Post, a little while back, and from then I have been hooked on his funny stories! I subscribed to his zany little news reports. Check them out, and get a free subscription-these news stories are funny as hell!
borowitzreport.com
Crazy, screwy, somewhat Onionish, (but probably sometimes funnier) observations about our world today that's for sure! Here are a couple of his recent items:

Cheney to Travel Around Country in Sound Truck

Gingrich: Pelosi Not Good Enough Liar to be Speaker

This new one kills me:

Harassed By Photographers, Susan Boyle Dons Disguise - Borowitz Report

Maybe you saw this maybe not...

I apologize for not being around to comment lately-I will be able to later this week...pretty busy lately...
With the CA Supreme Court decision handed down recently, these come to mind...
The NOM's "Gathering Storm" commercial/fodder for satire inspired many to parody its lameness. There were many really funny storms that were produced from the original gathering storm-including Colbert's and Lizz Winstead's very funny edition.
This one, done with Xtranormal's movie-making tools Xtranormal Text-to-Movie is one you may have missed, but it's pretty f'n hilarious. I have wanted to do one of these Xtranormal movies for a while since I heard about it. Now that I have a little extra time, I'll give it a try!



Geez I almost feel like getting a Mac lately-If we could afford the damn thing! I have been having a lot of trouble with setting up a wireless network and also trouble with IE 8 and 7 not displaying my work's webmail and Comcast's webmail correctly! Windows can suck sometimes! I have XP and it sucks also!

Go Get 'em Janeane!!

I turned on Fox News just to see what's up and Orally and Cannity were both going off on Janeane Garofalo. (and Wanda Sykes and Obama and....etc etc. By the way-I loved Wanda's stuff!!)

Fox's Ambusher in Chief-Griff (Griff!?) Jenkins did just that outside of one of Garofalo's latest gig outside of Starbucks in Mass.
I didn't think Fox got what they wanted from Janeane. She remained cool, calm, and didn't go back on what she said about the Teabaggers. The camera was obviously shoved in her face to get a reaction, and possibly a shove or two, but unfortunately for Griff and Fox, it didn't happen. There was some choppy editing-("yeah-let's try to cut out those parts where I try to irritate her to hit me") but really Garofalo kicked Griff's ass. I loved when she said (in response to Griff asking her to give the 'baggers an apology: "I don't... so they're going to have to wait a long time."!! lol and lmao and rotflmao!



Is that Griff dude possibly the silliest looking human being you have ever seen? This guy looks like a reject from Revenge of the Nerds! No wonder he's usually behind the camera! What a dork!

Happy Mother's Day!

To all the moms out there: Happy Mother's Day! Hope you are all having a special day, for all of you moms out there are very special!

I get former PC World columnist Steve Bass' Techbites Newsletter (check it out/sign up for the great free weekly newsletter that you can get in your inbox for really cool and helpful computer information like excellent security, tools and utility programs-many of them free and links for Internet interests TechBite by Steve Bass) In Techbite's Time Wasters section-where there are Internet silliness, games and funny videos, I found this (I embedded from Bass' YT channel) funny clip: (off-color language)
