Steven Wright Stand-Up Comedy Video

Posted: 03 Aug 2010 05:08 AM PDT

Steven Wright is considered one of the greatest stand-up comedians to have ever lived. Deservedly so in my opinion.

This video is a good introduction to the man and his rather unique style of comedy. If you like this then you should seek out more from Steven Wright, if you don’t like it then, well, you have no funny bone in your body.

Maybe that’s a little harsh because Steven Wright is definitely one of those comedians, and people in general, that you’ll either love or hate. As with a lot of comedy, you either get it or you don’t. And it’s hard to explain the appeal to those who don’t.

Wright, known for his crazy hair, off the wall jokes, and deadpan delivery, is now 55-years-old. But that hasn’t lessened his ability to make people laugh. Not everybody, but the majority. Which is a gift.

Watch Funny Baby Preacher Rant (With Subtitles) Video | He’ll Screw You Too

Posted: 02 Aug 2010 10:00 PM PDT

Baby Preacher gets up on stage and lets everyone else have it! Well, if they can understand anything he’s saying, that is.

I have to admit that I needed to push aside how much this video disturbed me to be able to laugh at it, but it is still laugh-worthy. (And I’m still getting over my bad, personal experiences with churches.)

What really makes this video is, obviously, the subtitles. There is nothing like ‘translating’ what a toddler is saying and ‘hearing’ him say things like he will screw you, too.

I wonder what his parents will think when they see the subtitles.

Watch Rapper TI & Tameka “Tiny” Cottle Have Three Weddings This Weekend Celebrity News Video

Posted: 02 Aug 2010 09:31 PM PDT

Rapper TI & Tameka “Tiny” Cottle have topped the list of celebrities like Chelsea Clinton getting married by having not one but three weddings over the course of the weekend.

Well, if you are going to do it, do it right. And like they say, third time is the charm, right? Might as well get it done and over with on their first weekend as husband and wife…

…and husband and wife, and husband and wife.

But then again, what is a celebrity couple to do to get some attention when the former first daughter and Alicia Keys getting married on the same weekend?!

Manta Does “Doctor Who” Music Video | Cult Sci-Fi Theme Covered on Australian TV Show “Spicks and Specks”

Posted: 02 Aug 2010 05:03 PM PDT

Australian music quiz show Spicks and Specks has brought us some amazing quirky talent, from the beer drinking Christa Hughes to the mildly super-powered Dave O’Doherty.

This week it introduced us to Manta, a world music outfit with a love for cult science fiction.

It seems unlikely that a band featuring a cello, an acoustic guitar, and a didgeridoo could work. But this unusual blend delivers one of the best versions of the Doctor Who theme music that I’ve ever heard.

Rather than relying on laughs as so many other acts on Spicks and Specks do, Manta simply do their thing. Let’s face it; when you’re this good you don’t need gimmicks.

Obama Pulling Out Troops From Iraq (Video) | ‘As Promised and On Schedule’

Posted: 02 Aug 2010 04:55 PM PDT

We’ve heard it all before from Bush, but this time Obama is the one saying that the US occupation in Iraq will be ending soon. How soon? By the end of this month to be exact.

So far, Obama states, 90,000 troops have returned home from Iraq.

As optimistic as I want to be with news like this, It’s still hard to believe that this could happen by the end of August. Sure, we may be pulling out of Iraq, but there is still an operation in Afghanistan that is getting bigger every day still.

A complete withdrawl from the middle east probably won’t happen for decades, but I’m glad for this step in the right direction. Hopefully the Obama administration will lead to spending less on war and more on healthcare by the time they leave office.

Congressman Anthony Weiner Goes Crazy (Video) | Supporting 9/11 Health Bill

Posted: 02 Aug 2010 04:33 PM PDT

There aren’t a lot of congressmen who seem to care about the issues that they are voting on. Anthony Weiner, on the other hand, has a personal issue with the 9/11 healthcare bill. The district he represents includes southern Brooklyn and south central Queens.

Since the attacks of September 11th, many of the veteran firefighters and policemen who suffered health problems from doing their job have not received any government assistance. The heated clip above seems to be an appropriate reaction to that.

While many conservatives are dismissing this as a “political stunt,” I can’t see why Anthony would risk his political career over it. “You vote ‘yes’ if you believe it’s the right thing to do” seems like a logical statement, yet there are an overwhelming amount of Republicans that aren’t saying ‘yes.’

It’s almost been a decade and we still have scars from 9/11. Isn’t it time to change that?

Bed Intruder Song Video | ‘They Raping Everybody Out Here’ News Clip Auto-Tuned

Posted: 02 Aug 2010 03:13 PM PDT

Rape isn’t funny. Sexual assaults aren’t funny. Physical attacks aren’t funny. And yet, this news report dealing with exactly those subjects IS funny. Especially after it’s been through the auto-tune.

The original news report concerns Antoine Dodson, a young man from Huntsville, Alabama who prevented his sister from being raped by stopping the attack. He talks to the news people about the incident, and has a message for the wider community.

The phrases he uses and his style of delivery make it all rather comical, and even more so when it’s all turned into an auto-tuned song.

The scary thing is this makes for a truly catchy song. Sure, the lyrics are a little out there, but you can’t have everything.
