Holy Schnikies.
This trailer is like a WMD for brain cells. Where CGI once was used for good, it now seems to have fallen into the hands of evil forces hellbent on the destruction of intelligent entertainment.
And I don’t think I am in the minority with this opinion either…
This tv commercial is driving me crazy – the new Nutella ad, scored by what I have now learnt is a song called ‘Glorious’ by Andreas Johnson. How ridiculously pretensious can an ad about a hazelnut spread be??? The first time I saw it and heard that overblown cock rock soundtrack I thought it was going to at least be something worthwhile like a charity pursuing a cure for Muscular Dystrophy. Instead, the ad climaxes with retarded children finding their lives’ meaning in brown goo on a piece of bread. Wow. “She” (the nutella) really is “bringing me in, and checking me out and making me glorious”. I will now jab two pencils into each of my eardrums.
Unfortunately I could only find the original French version of the commercial (which explains soooo much about the pretension). I do love the kid who laughs maniacally at the end of the French ad, like he just dropped the foulest butt spray on the girl standing next to him.
Now I did some stupid stuff with a basketball hoop and trampolines as a kid, but this one puts any of my efforts to shame…. pure comedy gold.
I love how his friends are just bouncing around, ready for the next dunker’s chance to snap their achilles tendon.
Thanks to On 205th’s 22 Worst Dunks ever, also great viewing.
Okay I’m sure this is more fake than Tara Reid’s bust, but it’s still pretty funny also. The big question is who are the guys that went to all the effort to fake this…. I tried finding someone who has mythbusted them online, to no avail.
I think I would just wait for better surf…
Though I tend to relegate my sportslust to my personal page, I feel it would be remiss of a page named (in part) after the lovely residents of Topeka, Kansas not to acknowledge the inspiring victory of the Kansas Jayhawks over the Memphis Tigers in yesterdays NCAA Men’s Basketball Tourney final.
Check out this inconceivable yet undeniably brilliant trey by KU guard Mario Chalmers to tie the game and send it to overtime (despite being down by 9 with 2:12 left in the game):
And here’s some celebratory footage from some Kansas residents:
Congratulations Jayhawks. Thanks for an enthralling game.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of musicians so pleased with themselves… and how great is leadman Tommy Seebach? You certainly can’t fault his enthusiasm.
I love the “Native American experience” they added to spice up the clip too. Very authentic.
I’m pretty sure Tommy took a couple of hits from the peace pipe before filming this one. That’s some great dancing.
This one ranks very highly on the unintentional comedy scale on its own – it’s My Favourite Martian, Celine Dion, with her reaction to the 2005 Hurricane Katrina tragedy on Larry King – but even better, someone has chosen to do a mash-up of her hysterical comments and the events from Titanic:
Too many funny moments, but perhaps my favourite is the implication that Billy Zane is doing something unsavoury to small children.
And it’s nice to see her heartfelt pleas made an impact:
I’ve decided to resurrect ‘WTF Were They Thinking???’, a running blog from my old website where I endeavour to dig up some Youtube goodness that will make you ask the aforementioned question. First up in the reboot is a recommendation from some friends regarding my upcoming wedding video. It’s a shame these guys are based in Canada…. I can only imagine how magic and memorable my wedding movie could have been in Fred and Sharon’s skilled hands.
