Happy Find

Happy Find… The Rocketeer As A Cartoon?

Posted on by sgottahurt

This could be the greatest thing never made (into an actual show):

The Rocketeer is one of my all-time favorite films, and following the 20th Anniversary of its release, coupled with director Joe Johnston’s success with Captain America: First Avenger, there has been talk of a long-awaited live-action sequel.

I say cartoon is the way to go.  You can still use the original Actors! (or at least close enough sounding ones), instead of recasting or rebooting the series.  (Can it be a series if there was only one?)

Could a TV show fly?  Perhaps with a little gum…

(Sort Of) Happy Find… White People Problems (Plus My New Idea)

Posted on by sgottahurt

The site White People Problems is hit or miss, but when it’s good, it’s okay.  Basically, it doesn’t make you laugh or smile, but it will make you think this sound:

Heh.

That’s what makes it a (Sort Of) Happy Find.  Oh, you want examples?  Here’s some hehxamples:

So these got me thinking… not about other ethnic group’s problems, or Western culture collectively, but about retirees.  I only say this because my retired mother recently complained about how she was upset about one event because she couldn’t plan out her vacations.  Yes, there’s an S on the end of that.

So allow me to introduce my latest brainchild, ImSoRetired.  Here are some examples:

Things That Make You Go Heh

Happy Find… The Legend Of Korra Preview

Posted on by sgottahurt

I.

Can’t.

Wait.

(Even though I have to.  Until when?  Maybe next year???)

(SIDENOTE: I think it’s kind of stupid that they can’t use Avatar in their title anymore because of the dumb tail-fucking blue people.  Avatar: The Last Airbender used it first!)

Maybe if I freeze myself, I can get to see Legend of Korra that much quicker…

Happy Find… First World Problems Rap

I originally saw this kid’s spoof of Rebecca Black’s Friday, and his speech impediment was off-putting.  This video is clever enough that I could ignore that.

His choices are what make this work because they are not easy attempts at humor.  For easy attempts at humor, check out the two videos below this one (or this blog on a regular basis):

Happy Find… Love, World-Style

This is why I travel.  Oh wait.  Am I supposed to film every step of the way?

Happy Find… “It’s Like A Toy You Can Eat!”

Posted on by sgottahurt

I’ve already placed my orders for everyone’s birthday and Christmas presents!  Sorry I couldn’t keep it a surprise!

I’m glad the Happy Hot Dog Man can be made out of any kind of hot dog, and that I can get them in both red and yellow!

I can’t contain my excitement any longer!  I must dance like the Happy Hot Dog Man!

Happy Find… Forget About Planking! Here’s Cone-ing!

If you’re unaware of the concept planking, here’s a British puff piece on the craze:

Here’s a much more interesting (and humorous) alternate… cone-ing:

Happy (Sad) Finds… Maybe Memorial Day Weekend Got To Me

Posted on by sgottahurt

These songs are life affirming even though they might come across quite the opposite.  One of them causes me great concern, though… am I about to turn country fan?

The first video, David Crowder Band’s SMS (Shine) was sent to me by my sister quite awhile ago, and I’ve finally opted to watch it.  This was her actual pitch:

it’s a christian rock band, but the animation is cool

…now you understand my initial hesitation.  But it’s definitely worth checking out…

Now if I had followed her advice earlier, I might not have felt as effected as I did this day, because I just heard this (apparently old) song on the radio, and it too captivated me:

I guess The Band Perry’s If I Die Young found new life (so to speak) when Lauren Alaina performed it on American Idol, and I might be glad about that.

Happy Find… Damn You, Auto Correct, I’ve Found Something Better!

Posted on by sgottahurt

I was planning on writing about Damn You, Auto Correct! but everyone has probably already seen the site.  If you haven’t, you can click on the link.

Instead, my true Happy Find is a Norm Macdonald find – his nephew*, Kyle.

A sample of his interviewing skills, as viewed on Sports Show:

But even better than that, though, is his Good Neighbor Stuff:

I don’t know what it is above using first initials of last names that makes me laugh so hard… It’s probably that I wish we still did that as adults.

*?

Happy Find… Talking Animals

Posted on by sgottahurt

You’ve probably seen this already, but I still think it’s well-done… like a steak, covered in bacon, and cheese sauce… that I gave to the neighbor’s dog!

The other stuff by Talking Animals (Klaatu42) is hit or miss:
