Happy Finds… DJ Kitty? Kanye Jordan? Let Me Google That For You

Sometimes the TripleDoubleU has too much goodness to handle.

  • ITEM 1 – All I need to say is DJ Kitty:

Cats in hats are so funny!  Somebody should make a book like that stat!

(SIDENOTE: Also acceptable as “funny” – cats in baseball jerseys, cats using turntables, and cats dancing.)

  • ITEM 2 – Do you like Tracy Morgan’s Tracy Jordan?  Well how about Kanye West’s Kanye Jordan?

Basically, it’s a game in which someone takes Kanye West’s Twitter messages and adds “Liz Lemon” to them, as if he were on 30 Rock.  Not all of them are golden, so some of the better ones can be found here and here.  The actual Twitter page can be found here.

It’s the perfect tool for the times you want to be a passive smart ass.  For my example, click here.

Very Happy Find… Detroit Lives (It’s “Lives” Like “Frankenstein Lives!” And Not “Lives” Like “Days Of Our Lives”)

What do you get when you mix this:

With this:

And this?

A great little documentary about my craptastic home town of Detroit, that’s what.  Thanks Palladium Boots and Johnny Knoxville!  (And everyone else in the video!)  You dun good!

Happy Find… A Capella Inception Trailer

I’ve watched this more times than I would have expected to based upon the premise.

PREMISE: Somebody removed the original soundtrack from the Inception preview and re-dubbed it all… the music, character voices, and sound effects.

The part that keeps me clicking replay?  The music.

Here’s the original for comparison:

Happy Find… Bieber Late Than Never

I know this is old in TripleDoubleU terms, but I still have met people who haven’t seen it yet.  So here it is – Justin Bieber’s U Smile slowed down to a speed more suited to his fan base.  I have to admit that it sounds… how can I put this in Bieberese

This is also an oldie but a goodie.  Click here to watch.  You simply must.

Happy Find… Surprisingly, It’s Furniture

I didn’t plan on watching this entire video, especially since my usual limit is 59 seconds, but twist endings for each piece of furniture kept me captivated.

Okay, the truth.  TRANSFORMERS FURNITURE!

(Check out ResourceFurniture’s website here.  Check out the last time I wanted furniture for Christmas here.)

Happy Find… My Name’s Meaning (Plus Hero Rats!)

Even though it’s been around, like forever, which according to itself means:

forever is until you find something better…

…I’ve only recently discovered what my name means via the Urban Dictionary.  Take a gander for yourself:

used to define huge sarcastic assholes, that end up becoming amazingly sweet. Seans know exactly how to piss you off and then five seconds later have you cracking up. Huge jerks, but gotta love 'em.

I can live with that.  And I need to find out who funwithamber is… Either she’s a fun girl named Amber, or a scientist from Jurassic Park.  So in other words, a win either way.

Also from the TripleDoubleU archives, I present to you a new Parry Gripp song.  I’ve written about him before, so for more of that, click here.  Otherwise, enjoy the heartwarming tale of the Hero Rats

*sniff* The part about “saving us from ourselves” gets me every time.

Happy Find… Not So Pure Michigan

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!)

Happy Find… Taco Bellz Can Haz Breakfastz?!? (Did I Do That Right?)

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.

Happy Finds… And One Not-So-Happy Find

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…

CANNOT UNSEE

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…

CALVIN MINUS HOBBES

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:

(click the pic for the site)

And then I just love this commercial… particularly the part about tacos:

Happy Find… Yacht Rock

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…
