Toy Soldier Takes a Digger during Disneyland Christmas Parade

What is it about people falling down that’s so very funny? Or what is it about people just being clumsy and causing (mostly) mild physical harm to themselves that’s just so gut-bustingly hilarious? Is it because that — as long as the harm done to the person in question isn’t serious in nature – it’s perfectly okay to laugh because we’re all human and it happens to all of us? Perhaps I’m thinking entirely too deeply into this while asking myself entirely too many questions? Alas, the video above provides us just such a situation. Yet the funny factor of said video is amplified exponentially due to A.) It’s someone in a toy soldier costume and, B.) There’s a half-minute or so build-up to the fall during an otherwise very serious, very festive Disneyland Christmas Parade. Oh, I almost forgot – the costume is designed in such a way whereas it’s almost impossible for the person to get to their own feet by themselves. Indeed, a wonderful, upstanding citizen has to help the toy soldier to their feet due to them essentially being trapped, helpless upon the ground, as if they were a turtle stuck lying on the back of their shell. All in all, it’s just some very funny stuff. I think it may even consist of the very definition of pure comedy – if you could quantify that somehow. Which we can’t, so let’s just point, laugh and be merry, shall we?...

Fearless Detroit TV Reporter Eats Cat Food; Hilarity Ensues

It’s official: Charlie LeDuff is, in fact, the man. A reporter for Fox News 2, a Detroit affiliates, Charlie LeDuff is infamous for providing zany, entertaining, yet still hard-hitting reporting for the channel’s news program. And as you can clearly tell from the video above, Mr. LeDuff is in sore, sore need of his own television show. In the midst of a growing scandal, Charlie investigates reports that the Wayne County government was trying to make cuts to the Meals On Wheels program – a program that actually feeds the county’s retired elderly community. To prove his point that the citizens are incredibly dissatisfied with the current state of the meals, Charlie actually gets an older gentleman suffering from multiple sclerosis to try out a can of cat food after (enthusiastically) trying it for himself.  Even more surprising, the older gentleman actually exclaims it may very well be better than what he’s normally served. And Charlie… well, Charlie just appears entirely too delighted by the cat foods taste, which he proclaims is, “Not BAD!” Charlie then wheels the older gentleman across an incredibly busy interstate to procure him a, “Nice meal,” of Arby’s. Mmmm… Arby’s! Anyway, what’s the moral of this story? Well, it’s quite simple: The TV news-world – and generally just the TV world in general actually — needs more Charlie LeDuff’s. Heck, the world needs more Charlie LeDuff’s. He is, indeed, an inspiration to us all. Now who wants to go halfsies on some Meow...

Gordon Ramsey: Man, Myth… Badass

Chuck Norris who? As much hate as Gordon Ramsey gets, you’ve got to give the guy credit. He only absolutely loses his mind and screams at people — while popping several blood vessels in his neck and forehead in the process — when they absolutely, positively deserve it. Like, if you try and serve up a practically rare steak to someone, why shouldn’t you get screamed at like the moron you are? Someone could die from that kind of mistake. Did you read that correctly? Someone could DIE! Anyway, in the video above, we see Gordon Ramsey at his finest. Vintage Gordon Ramsey even, dishing out some good old fashioned, common sense, verbal berating justice. And it’s absolutely awesome. Although, I imagine if you were on the receiving end of such tirades it would be a bit unnerving and uncomfortable, but hey, just don’t try and serve someone a completely raw steak and you should be all...

Now This is How You Make An Entrance!

In this day and age, it almost seems like we’ve drifted away from seemingly important things like self-respect, proper hygiene — and, perhaps most importantly — making a frigging kickass entrance. Thankfully, Sam Rockwell is trying to bring this seemingly extinct pastime back in STYLE, and he does it on the Jimmy Fallon (blech!) show. As you can see above, he’s pretty damn good at dancing, but it’s really less of that and more of the principle if you get what I’m saying. So, if you absolutely, positively SUCK at dancing (like me!) don’t fret, my friend. You can still make a striking and poignant entrance anywhere you go by just pretending like you know how to dance. Either that, or you can carry a boombox with you and blast the Ghostbusters II theme song. Your choice,...

Oh To Be Young…

Seriously, how often do you wish you were 4 years old again? I don’t know if it’s just because I’m super weird (actually, this is most likely the case) or not, but I find myself reminiscing that I was back in second or third grade again ALL the time. Maybe it’s because I have two kids (aged 5 and 2, at the moment) or maybe it’s just because I really, REALLY loved the chocolate milks you could pick at lunch time… I don’t know. Anywho, all this isn’t important. What IS important is that in the video above, you’ll once again remember the very essence of what it was like to be young, innocent and not have a care in the world outside of having to do 10 addition questions for your math homework. Because, after all… “A B C D E F… Cookie...
