Plants and Pop
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 20/04/2008 19:49:07Updated by Joel Dixon at 20/04/2008 21:13:53
I stumbled over an amusing post with a collection of science fair photos on Photo Basement. Here's some of my favourites:
Plants and Pop
I seriously want to find out what the results were. Why is the government hiding this stuff from us? It's the EV1 all over again.
Moon Babies
Moon Babies. What more can you say?
Animal Magnetism
Animal Magnetism. You're telling me!
The Code of the Meniscus
Best. Jumper. Ever! (except for maybe this one)
The Ideal Pancreas
Part 2 mind you. I assume all the good stuff was in part 1.
If I were back in an American high school, my experiment would probably be about cats and whether they want cheeseburgers.

Garfield minus Garfield
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 11/04/2008 21:43:47Updated by Joel Dixon at 12/04/2008 00:26:11
The Internet is a wonderful place. Sure, there's plenty of downsides, but at times it appears that we've discovered the proverbial thousand monkeys on a thousand typewriters. Amongst all of the internet crap - there's a heap of gems, like Garfield minus Garfield. From the site:
Basically he photoshops Garfield out of the Garfield comics and it turns into a hilarious comic about a crazy Jon. I browsed the site and he has picked some very funny ones - exhibit A.
Anyway, on the train home the other night I picked up a copy of the Herald Sun and flicked through to the comic section. Sure enough - the comic I saw was another example of a good Garfield minus Garfield so I got Bell to photoshop it up for me. When you mouse over the image it will be replaced with the original comic (give it a second to load), or if you don't have Javascript enabled you can just click it.
Check out the site - don't let the monkey's work be in vein!

It's Funny, laugh
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 10/10/2007 05:30:36Updated by Joel Dixon at 19/02/2009 22:56:57 - fixed dead links
Some of the videos in this post contain profanities
You may have noticed that I've changed my generic subtitle line from "I still doubt that I will post here much" to my original intention of random quotes. They're not so random at the moment, as there's about 40 in total - and they've been selected from the limited source of The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy and some Saturday Night Live sketches.
If you've yet to experience Saturday Night Live's Celebrity Jeopardy, I highly recommend you legally purchase all of the videos, and laugh hysterically. Here's a YouTube compilation video that explains the concept and fits in most of the favourite jokes (except for my personal favourite):
Celebrity Jeopardy!
In another seamless segue, Jeopardy also features in one of my all-time favorite Jerky Boys prank calls (of which there is a lot) - Testing for Jeopardy:
Testing for Jeopardy!
I got into the Jerky Boys during high school, when some friends and I stumbled on the universally-panned feature movie The Jerky Boys. The movie may have been pretty bad, but we loved it. When we found out that they had better stuff on CD - we loved that even more. As soon as I get some extra time I will be adding some Jerky Boys quotes to the site.
Another part-time prank caller (very weak link, I know) is Matt Besser from the Upright Citizens Brigade. A friend from work put me onto the Upright Citizen's Brigade, an improv comedy group originating in Chicago in the early 90's. I'm more familiar with the three seasons of television that they created (based on sketches from the live show) - of which season two is on sale now. UCB is hit-and-miss comedy, so some cause a bit of head-scratching. But these two don't (or maybe they do):
Little Donny
Part 2 and Part 3
Little Donny is a child that has the disability of being unaware of his enormous penis. This video is The Little Donny Foundation's version of a "" style song. The people on the street were asked to sing "enormous peanuts", and the reason Donny is crying in the end is because Tuvok was unable to find his way home in Star Trek.
Astronauts
UCB also have an irrational hatred of astronauts
The UCB crew also founded a Theatre which plays host to a number of improv and sketch comedy groups, including some of the members from Derrick Comedy. Derrick Comedy aren't enormously popular, and are also very hit-and-miss, but I find most of the videos on their site amusing. They've also done a few "rejected TV theme songs".
Mafia
Keyboard Kid
Stick with it - gets funnier after a minute or so
Daughters
There's also some less tasteful ones - so I won't embed them - but provide links (don't say I didn't warn you). Of course, I find the distasteful ones some of the funniest:
Memory Loss - A slightly different version of Memento!
Bad BJ Girl - she's got it a little wrong
Bro Rape - a special report on "Bro Rape"
The Cool Breeze - not necessarily distasteful - but I figured it wasn't worth an embedding
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Theme - Again, not disturbing - but weird!
I think I've linked enough of the clips - if you still don't like their comedy - I doubt I can persuade you! Enjoy (I hope).
