December Classic Video: Celebrity Sing Along
This is mad random. I don't think I've even sat down for like 2 consecutive hours over the past three months, let alone put together the thought processes required to write a blog post of even marginal quality, but this I had to post.
This "celebrity" sing along is somehow the single most European thing that's ever happened. It's got a few B-listers scattered in the front, like Jason Alexander and Huey Lewis, but then it just gets weird. When Ricki Lake is in the second edit, you know it's got to be downhill from there (PS - I always thought she was pretty cute). My single favorite is the kid who plays young Forrest Gump at the 5:20 mark. But there are some other gems.

Monday Classic Video: The Boob Apron
From KSK, someone invented some stupid cleavage-hider, and this is the infomercial for it, but with some gie dubbed over the voice making fun of it. Pretty funny. (note: it's nothing too scandalous, but don't open at work if you are sensitive about that kind of thing.

Wednesday Classic Video: If You Only Knew
If you are anything like me, you are going to be equal parts thrilled and nauseated by how many of the words to this song you'll remember.
These guys were the biggest clowns in the history of clowns and yet somehow we were completely riveted by this stuff. Well, all of us except LJT. I know that winit is with me on this one. Miss Elizabeth was a hottie.

Friday Classic Video: We Came, We Saw, We Kicked Its Ass!
I've never had sex (at the same time) with Angelina Jolie, all the Victoria's Secret models, Marilyn Monroe, Helen of Troy, and/or the goddess Aphrodite, but it's entirely possible that the Internet video equivalent of what that might be like has happened.
Imagine an orgy of these movies:

"We're just gonna come out with it: This clip is amazing. Some editing genius named Ricardo Autobahn had the incredible idea to make a song out of ... movie clips. Now before you start imagining some medley you'd watch at the Oscars, let's talk about the fact that this guy's managed to string together the clips in a way that rhymes AND has a beat.
"We've been playing our own personal game of Guess the Movie and nodding our head to the rhythm for about 20 minutes now. Join us in watching and try to imagine just how much time this guy had to invest in movie-watching to put this together. The mind boggles. Enjoy!"

Friday Classic Video: Dance Contest
All this delightful little porker needs to do is start beating the shit out of a few women and he'll be well on his way to being the next Chris Brown.

Friday Classic Video: Sexy presidential sex acts
We're all quite aware of the Bill Clinton / Monica Lewinsky cigar routine, and who knows what the hell was going on with JFK and Marilyn Monroe? I can't think of anything too risque involving Jimmy Carter (thankfully). And hey, I know liberals are supposed to be all "free love" and whatever, but Barack and Michelle have been in the White House all of like two days. This is a ridiculous assumption even for FOX to make.
Hey, I'm all about the occasional freaky bedroom activity, but I don't recall MSNBC suggesting Dubya was banging Barney in the Lincoln Bedroom. Sheesh.

We Wish Shoe a Merry Christmas
An Iraqi reporter sums up how just about everyone in the world feels about President George W. Bush, as his eight years come to an end.

Friday Classic Video: This one is for you, Mr. Win It
There is a story from a few years back that, for whatever reason (read: laziness), none of us has bothered to post here. It involves a certain friend of ours, and it occurred on my birthday. Without getting too far into details of that night (until one of us writes the whole story), this friend -- whom I have occasionally referred to as Lumpy -- had a few too many drinks and wound up yelling at a whole lot of people. Most of it was gibberish, but Lumpy was particularly fond of a certain phrase.
Without further ado, this one's for you, Lumpy.

Thursday Classic Video
This is my new favorite thing. I do not disparriage anyone for believing in their religion, as it's way more than I'm capable of, but, I mean, really, it's like...there are no words, just watch. I'm gonna be singing this all day.
My favorite thing about this is easily the guitar player. You'd think they were playing some Zeppelin or something. My next favorite thing is the back up singers, including Jim Henson and a dude with a bad combover who looks like he was even out of touch with that wussified form of rock and roll. My third favorite thing is at the very end when the guy starts riffing by going "J-J-J-J-Jesus" with a high pitched falsetto in the last syllable.
In a similar vein, I also wanted to embed something called The Renewed Mind is the Key, but you can't get it on YouTube. But you have tofollow this link and watch that and the dancing that goes along with it. Make sure you watch through the solo dance break. UPDATE: I guess The Way got tired of people linking to that silly performance because the link redirects to the home page now.

Friday Classic Video Part II: Poking Sarah Palin (heh)
What's that? Two videos in one day? I think I just clinched the mailing-it-in award for the week. That, and I'm single, in case you were wondering.
Over the past few weeks, we at Where's Luke? have laid out our thoughts on Sarah Palin and, yeah, we basically think she sucks. I don't care if her daughter got knocked up and blah blah blah, but I think I speak for all of us ("us" being the human population as a whole, not simply the four writers of this blog) when I say we're a bit concerned with the prospect of this woman possibly becoming President in the not-too-distant future. She seems kinda smart, and hey, even in Alaska, I'm sure it's moderately-to-way-friggin'-easier-than-in-other-states difficult to become the governor. But John McCain -- according to my statistics -- is probably gonna die or something close to it -- pretty soon, and as much as I think starting up a couple new wars with Iran and Russia is a bad idea, I'm even more nervous at the thought of Sarah Palin having to suddenly handle situations like that. Here's why:
Have a nice weekend!

Friday Classic Video: Cat Versus Printer
In the interests of lightening things up a bit around here (see post below), I'd like to discuss racism.
Wait, no, not that. I mean, let's watch a cat giving this printer the business. It takes a few seconds to get going, but definitely watch to the end. Or not. Whatever, it's your life, man.
(i think this one works.)

Friday Classic Video: The [insert negative superlative] Dark Knight analysis ever?
First of all, if you haven't seen The Dark Knight, you already know that you suck because you've had nothing to talk about with other people this week. But please continue reading, no spoilers here. (Maybe.)
Second, the guys at Fire Joe Morgan, which, again, is the best Web site on the series of tubes, have already posted this video and made their comments. Those comments will be better than mine. That's because -- as Sabermetrics makes clear-- funnier people write funnier things than those who are not as funny. That's us! Anyway, go read their shit.
Third, if you asked me who the two ESPN commentators I hate most are, I would say: 1) Skip Bayless, whose children I hope fall into a well; and 2) Stephen A. Smith, who apparently some people must like, seeing as he's still around. Who are you people? Seriously, I'm curious. Here, let's have some solidarity: I like the movie National Treasure. Everyone else seems to hate it because it's a terrible movie. (Even though, yes, it did recently have a sequel which made a shitload of money, so okay fine, maybe everybody doesn't hate it. But anyone of reasonable intelligence does, right?) So is that like you Stephen A. Smith likers? I don't think this whole line of argument makes much sense, does it? So let's move on.
Fourth, speaking of ESPN people I can't stand, I don't like that John Kruk and Steve Philips are the "experts" on Baseball Tonight. John Kruk and Steve Philips -- though they may be perfectly nice in real life -- are horrible at talking about baseball. The FJM guys have a litany of examples, but John Kruk once said this:
Then there's Steve Philips who, as any Mets fan knows, was a terrible, awful, atrocious General Manager. I think this SAT analogy is appropriate: Steve Philips : General Manager :: George W. Bush : President. Too obvious? How about Steve Philips : General Manager :: Someone : Something that person is really, really, really, extraordinarily bad at doing.
Where was I?
Oh yeah. So you saw The Dark Knight. Now imagine for one second what it would be like if Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless (who like to give wedgies to orphans when no one's looking) gave their opinions on The Dark Knight.
If you're like me, you would assume that: 1) Skip Bayless will say it's a bad movie, because Skip Bayless hates fun and sunshine and children and anything that you like; and 2) Stephen A. Smith wishes it had more black people.
Believe it or not, ESPN put this little fantasy in motion. And, since it's ESPN, some dumbass producer had to make it seem like a regular part of the show, so it's a discussion of whether The Dark Knight is overrated or underrated.
(Seriously, how in the world could this movie -- whatever you thought of it -- be underrated? It received rapturous reviews and broke every box office record. It seems to be very well liked. But anyway, just watch.)

John Kruk and Steve Philips -- though they may be perfectly nice in real life -- are horrible at talking about baseball. The FJM guys have a litany of examples, but John Kruk once said this:
"I think it's easier to score runs when you have a pitcher on your side who's pitching for you. That is a great pitcher, because you know you don't have to score that many. And what it does is, you know if you go up with a runner on third with less than two outs and you don't bring the run in, you think to yourself, 'All right, well, so what? They're not going to score either. We'll have more opportunities.'"Yes, that's right. It's easier for your team to score runs when your team's starting pitcher is good. The reason, apparently, is because you don't care. Nothing to do with how good your hitters are, how bad the other team's starting pitcher is, or -- to Kruk's credit -- leprechauns.
Then there's Steve Philips who, as any Mets fan knows, was a terrible, awful, atrocious General Manager. I think this SAT analogy is appropriate: Steve Philips : General Manager :: George W.

Friday Classic Video: The next Eli Manning?
Just in case anyone forgot:
The New York Giants WON THE SUPER BOWL.
I can't quite place why this video reminded me. Something about a pass no one ever thought would work. And someone's head/helmet being involved. Anyway, enjoy.
Thank you College Pork!
