My Blackberry Is Not Working!

Like a tech version of Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First?" - check out this brilliant skit from "The One Ronnie" on BBC:

Drinking Out of Cups - My Favorite Memes

There are certain odd videos and e-mails that come along every once in a while and become wildly popular overnight - "going viral" is the popular term. I am not sure just what it is about this one, but it bears watching, and re-watching,and lots of quoting (NSFW):

Charlie Sheen Cooks and Sings - and Says It's All an Act!

He says it's all an act, Radar Online has the video. TMZ says that police are raiding his house.

This is some brilliant acting. First off, Charlie has expanded his webcasting empire by expanding into cooking shows. Here he comes, Food Network - he's a Rockstar Vatican Assassin:

Charlie Sheen's Winning Recipes from Charlie Sheen

All green things must die.

Next, we have the truly catchy "Bi-Winning - The Remix", autotuned hilarity at its best (Thanks, MOB)!



Here's a tomato from my garden - I grew this. My fingertips radiate sunshine and I grew them with the tears of a jaguar.

Charlie and the Apple Factory

Charlie finds a Golden Ticket and a chance to find out what makes Apple products so special:

The Life of The Honey Badger - Hilarious Narration by Randall

"Ewww - It's Chasing things and eating them!"

Randall's play-by-play takes animal documentaries to a whole different level!

Thanks to Steph for expanding my horizons with this!

The Legend of Zelda as a John Hughes Movie

If you ever played Zelda or watched a John Hughes movie, you will appreciate this.  If you did both, prepare for geekgasm.




My only criticism - the guys at the Gas 'N Sip should have said "Choice, man - concious choice"

Joe Cocker with Captions of What He Was Really Singing - Video of the Day

Visual Captions of Joe Cocker at Woodstock singing "A Little Help From My Friends" - I always knew there was a deeper message there! Make sure to close the ad right away so you don't miss any of the good stuff!

Family Feud - Survey Says: Hilarious

For anyone who uses Family Feud as a National Moral Barometer - outlook not so good.  Full credit to the honored BIOSMOB for this one - he is truly special!

Horse Outside - Cannot be explained, must be experienced

NSFW: Listen close and stay with it. Evidently everyone in Ireland has been on this for months, but it really has to be recognized stateside for the cultural touchstone it is:

More Ewoks Than Humans Should Be Allowed

Can't get enough of those furry little critters who kicked Imperial tail and then held a rave?  Well, you've come to the right place.  Here's a quick survey of some of the better video fare centering on our Endorian friends:

Ewok Celebration by Meco

The original Yub Nub sensation, as remixed by the guy who brought us the Star Wars Theme Disco Version (available in hi-fi on vinyl as part of KTel's "Star Power" anthology, which I happen to own).




Ewok Gospel Song Featuring Billy Dee Williams

The tale of a galaxy saved by Wickett and company, set to gospel music, with a cameo by Mr. Colt 45 himself - works every time!



Drunk Ewoks on the Today Show

Ewoks invade Halloween on the Today Show.
It's the tried and true formula: Ewoks + Alcohol + Al Roker = Laughs.
Bear with it, it's worth it.  Inappropriate groping and the moonwalk take it to the next level.



Ewok Barbershop

I don't think a quartet has gotten it's barbershop hooks into me like this since "Baby on Board" by the Be Sharps back in 85.

AT-AT Day Afternoon

Finally, it's not Ewoks, but that other adorable character from the original trilogy that we all wanted to take home as a pet: The All Terrain Armored Transport!

Celebrate The Love!

P.S.  I have been unable to locate Jimmy Fallon's Ewok Celebration which he sang on SNL during Weekend Update.  It seems the copyright police have wiped it clear off the Internet.  If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be much obliged. Seriously.

When Bergs Collide

I guess it had to happen - Eisenberg, Samberg and Zuckerberg together on SNL. Is this the Zuck's tacit approval for The Social Network to rock the Oscars? It definitely isn't a testament to his comedic timing. The best part? "Samberg out."

The Art of Empire State of Mind Parodies

Warning - Some content may be NSFW

I have recently become an avid consumer of localized parodies of Jay Z and Alicia Key's "Empire State of Mind" - of course as a New Yorker, I give props to the original:



From what I understand, the first widely-recognized take-off came not from New York, but from the home of my childhood summer camp, New Hampshire - with Granite State of Mind:



Next came the original shout-out from my current home county on Long Island, Suffolk State of Mind:



And then the now-classic representation of the Five Towns area of my native Nassau County which confirms stereotypes I didn't even know existed:



And to top them all off, the reinterpretation of Suffolk's mental situation which corrects the mistakes of the original and answers every claim of Nassau's anthem on its way to being designated as "Official":
