A Random Collection of My Favorite Comedians

Stephen LynchHi. My name is John, and I’m a comedy-oholic. They say that the first step to recovery is admitting you’ve got a problem. Well, I am completely addicted to Comedy Central Presents, a series of 30 minute specials of just about every comedian you can imagine. And I’ve seen them ALL!

Just to be clear, I don’t just watch Comedy Central at home. I also have XM satellite radio in my car and I listen to the comedy channel when I’m driving around! Now, you’d think all this exposure to comedy would mean some of it would rub off on me. WRONG! Nothing funny about me. But I have developed a keen sense of picking out the best and brightest, and here is a small collection of some of my favorites.

Plane Crash Party Commercial

Plane Crash PartyFor anyone sensitive to plane crashes, you won’t find this funny… but for everyone else, the surprise ending on this commercial will make you laugh.

This one apparently comes from a European travel agency. Enjoy.

How the Japanese Really Learn English

How the Japanese learn EnglishOk folks… what I’m going to expose you to today can either be considered some of the greatest, or most heinous videos ever created! And yes, they come from our favorite little Pacific island nation, Japan!

Only in Japan could you take something as serious as education and turn it into television shows full of scantily dressed women acting out scenes including diarrhea; and then follow that up with people being beaten for laughing when someone else’s English lessons don’t go so well.

Japanese Pranks Made Me Laugh So Hard I Cried

Japanese PranksFirst of all, I don’t speak Japanese. So, I’ve got no idea whatsoever what is being said in this TV show. But what I do know is that the Japanese have absolutely no shame when it comes to pulling pranks and humiliating one another.

I don’t want to let the cat completely out of the bag here, but the title of this post is actually true. Towards the end of this first video I was laughing my ass off…

Chuck Norris Facts

Chuck NorrisThere seems to be some rumors going around about Chuck Norris and what he is, and isn’t capable of. These rumors seem to be perpetuated partially due to the fight scene I previously shared in which Bruce Lee kicks Chuck Norris’ Ass.

However, I assure you that was merely acting, and in order to clear this matter up I wanted to pass along the following list of facts:

  • Children go to bed in Superman pajamas, but Superman goes to bed in Chuck Norris pajamas.
  • Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird.
  • Chuck Norris counted to infinity … Twice.
  • Chuck Norris can speak Braille.
  • Chuck Norris does not read books. He just stares them down until they give him the information he wants.
  • Jesus can walk on water, but Chuck Norris can swim through dry land.
  • Chuck Norris doesn’t sleep, he waits.
  • Chuck Norris doesn’t dodge bullets, bullets dodge Chuck Norris.
  • Chuck Norris does not wear a condom. Because there is no such thing as protection from Chuck Norris.
  • There is no such thing as evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.
  • Chuck Norris is able to divide by zero.
  • When Chuck Norris is entering a room he is not turning the lights on. He turns the darkness off.

MXCI kid you not when I tell you that MXC is one of my favorite TV shows of ALL TIME! Unfortunatly this show is not running on cable any more, but luckily I was able to feed my MXC addiction on the Internet. Thank you YouTube!

Most Extreme Elimination, later called MXC was a redubbing of the Japanese game show Takeshi’s Castle, which aired from 1986 to 1989. Absolutely the best part of this show was the new english dubbing which was full of insults, bathroom humor, and innuendo. There has never been anything like it, and never will be again, so you just have to watch an episode in order to understand what I’m talking about.

Once again from the mind of Colby Jones, the truth about weather in Texas.

Redneck Power Windows

Battery Powered Hand MixerI’ve got no idea where this video came from, but our friend Colby Jones sent it over to me, so I had to share it with you all!

Basically here is a short tutorial for that redneck cousin you’ve got… you know the one… which will help him retrofit his 1973 AMC Pacer with power windows. All you’re going to need is a battery operated blender, and… well, you’ll see.

The Best Hummer License Plate Ever

I was in the Washington, D.C. area this weekend and while visiting a book store came across this Hummer sitting out in the parking lot. Thought I’d share the license plate with you guys…

Twins Invent Wedgie-Proof Underwear

Wedgie Proof Underwear DemonstrationI’m guessing that 8 year old twins Justin and Jared Serovitch must have been picked on a lot, because necessity is the mother of invention, and these kids invented the wedgie-proof underwear!

The good folks over at Fox News, being the quality journalists they are, did an interview with the twins to discuss the impetus for the creation of said underwear, and also to have the twins demonstrate the actual use.

Watch and learn…

Mitch Hedberg - Serious Comedian

Mitch HedbergMitch Hedberg was one of my favorite comedians. He had a really dry sense of humor and was absolutely brilliant when it came to one liners. For example:

I like escalators because an escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You’ll never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

Both his jokes, and his delivery are unique and he cracked me up. Unfortunately he died in 2005 (of a drug overdose), so we won’t be getting any more of his comedic genius.

These two videos are from a special that was recorded for Comedy Central. I’m sure they are in violation of some sort of terms on YouTube, so don’t be surprised if they don’t stay up long. In the meantime, enjoy them while they are around!
