I’ve written about locally produced advertisements before, but these homegrown commercials are spot on. Enjoy!
In case you didn’t get it, these are actually courtesy of Not So Pure Michigan… The original commercials they are spoofing can be found here. Check out the other videos on their site. Hopefully there will be many more!
(Thanks to Steve for finding this!)
You may be surprised to learn my favorite cereal is regular Cheerios.
I could not be happier to learn that Taco Bell is planning on starting a Breakfast Menu.
Sure, it won’t be available until some time between Michael Bay’s third Transformer film and Christopher Nolan’s third Batman, and my reaction to the a.m. delights could be as varied as my opinions on each of those trilogies, but still…
This would mean no strange looks when I order soft tacos at nine in the morning for breakfast.
Even though I just ordered soft tacos at four in the morning for fourth meal.
Ever see your grandma naked?
I could have went with many other options to that image (list after the jump), but I merely mentioned it as a lead in to introduce the website…
Here’s an example:
Not a common image on the site, but one that cracked me up (a true LOL).
Another coolish thing to check out is no doubt inspired by the creepy and awesome Garfield Minus Garfield. It’s called…
Here’s an example:
A common image on the site... especially since new ones haven't been added.
Another site that hasn’t been updated in a while includes this image:

And then I just love this commercial… particularly the part about tacos:
This isn’t so much of a Happy Find as it is a Happy Discovery… But wait… I guess a find is a discovery, so never mind that.
Yacht Rock tells the untold stories behind the ignored sub-genre of smooth music that hit the radio waves between 1976 to 1984. Hosted by “Hollywood” Steve Huey, the collection of twelve shorts explains the mysterious origins of as many songs, starting with The Doobie Brothers’ What a Fool Believes:
The remainder of the videos can be found on JD Ryznar’s YouTube Channel, or more conveniently at Channel 101.
Sailing… Takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be… Just a dream and the wind to carry me…
And soon I will be free…
They might not update that often, but these are a few sites i enjoy checking up on from time to time.
Then head on over to Weirdo Toys to find the likes of this!
Once upon a time, also found in my basement.
Then allow me to present Worst Cartoons Ever!
Azula (from "Avatar: The Last Airbender") was picked the best villain after The Joker (from "Batman")... I can't complain about that.
Well if you want comics (and TV and movies), then look no further than Atomic Gadfly!
Currently, there's a very interesting article about Don Glover's bid to play Peter Parker in the new Spider-Man reboot.
The final nerd site I’d like to recommend… this one!
This is partly out of boredom at work (okay, it’s mostly out of boredom at work).
You see, my boss Paul (and friend – he’s definitely friendly today) once told me about an old Saturday Night Live sketch that involved Will Ferrell fighting a monkey. It sounded hilarious, but I could never find it online.
Today, we searched. We found. We laughed. I share.
Okay, so I don't share right away. It auto-played, so I moved the video to after the jump.
So I started poking around the TripleDoubleU for more random skits, and I found this unfamiliar character, The Falconer. It’s funny despite itself…
I put his video after the jump so Will Ferrell wouldn't be alone...
Then this last bit isn’t the complete sketch. Apparently, it was cut from the actual taping, but I caught a hint of it during the SNL special about the last decade of the show. If you like Tina Fey, you may be sad this sketch didn’t make it to air. If you like like Tina Fey, you will be sad. Thank Hulu for YouTube!

Kickstarter is a place one might find ’emselves at if yer lookin’ to be like tha ol’ kings and queens were wit’ dolin’ out fundin’ to projects like tha Moner Lisa or discoverin’ tha New World*.

Sorry, but mentioning this Happy Find sort of feels like nepotism… like something that belongs on STFU, Parents… or like one of those situations where parents make their kids put on performances.
A reenactment:
Parent – “Show them what you can do, honey?”
Child – “I don’t wanna.”
Parent – “But everyone’s waiting…”
Parent’s Friend that’s either drunk, brutally honest, or both (usually me) – “I’m not.”
Allow me to present to you my side project:
If you don’t know Mike Rowe by appearance, you most likely know his voice. Not only is he the voice of most Discovery Channel shows, he’s also the guy telling you to try a Ford.
Anywhoring, I’m having fun making the photos, and I wanted to share them with you.
I’ve had a busy week, but keep in mind it’s all for all of you! Here are a few of my Happy Finds…
1) If I could be a pinky’s worth of whatever makes up The Most Interesting Man in the World, I would be a happier man. I’m already a happy man because I’m not this guy:
Vodpod videos no longer available.2) I once posted about a Happy Find upon discovering Garfield Minus Garfield. I also painstakingly edited Garfield into other comics before I discovered the Adobe Suite (MS Paint all the way). Now I present to you – Garfield Minus Garfield: The Movie…
Vodpod videos no longer available.The next two are self-explanatory. Well, I guess the above two were self-explanatory as well.
3) Michael Bublé Being Stalked By A Velociraptor
This one has style, and bite!
Then what are fine arts?
5) This is for all the ladies that get wet waiting for John Cusack. In the rain! They get wet in the rain!
Vodpod videos no longer available.These are already making the rounds (some might say they’re already done), but I enjoy them enough to post them again here.
If you’re unfamiliar with ChatRoulette by this point, welcome to my site. I will be your Internet God (or as I’m prone to start saying, TripleDoubleU Pong).
Here are two clever fellows (one is unknown and now-known, and the other is well-known or sorta-known, at least). First up is Merton, a Ben Folds fan that claims not to be ripping off Ben Folds:
And second up is Ben Folds paying homage to Merton (it’s all so meta… which is not to be confused with metal):
The chance of running into creative types like Merton and Ben Folds is slimmer than most of the masturbators you’ll come stumble across. So as an alternative to perverts, how about an old-fashioned game of Russian roulette turned kiddie-proof:
