Happy Find
A Plethora Of Happy Finds, For El Guapo!
Well, El Guapo, though I may not really know what a plethora is, I do know when I’ve cracked one open and it’s spilling candy (oh – that’s a piñata).
Anyway, in all my perusing of the TripleDoubleU, I find so many videos that make me chuckle, it makes me weep.
So today, I’m sort of going for broke and offering up not ONE… not TWO… not THREE… not FOUR… not FIVE… video collections!
- And for no particular reason, here are the Bloomington Bros first. If you haven’t seen their rendition of Nickelback’s Photograph, I’m not going to help you find it.
- My second sacrifice offering comes in the form of a couple that’s very into S&M. Well, the sadism and masochism comes in the form of Prank Vs. Prank… at least the stuff they allow us to see…
- Numero 3 is in fact Numero 3 in a series of Creed spoofs. You remember Scott Stapp and crew, right? Well according to this particular video they only remember to perform when the camera’s on them to not just hilarious, but hil-ar-i-ous, effect. (More dubs from the Spirit Switchboard.)
- This video is last because it probably warms my heart the most. Rhett and Link have made it on this site before since I share my love of terrible local commercials with them, but this piece… play me off, El Guapo! (And for the record -yes, I’m aware Cuba is not in Mexico… I know it’s in Florida.)
Awesome Battle… Which Happy Find Should Have Got Its Own Post?
I’ve had so many Happy Finds that I can’t quite keep up with, so instead of letting them get lost in the ethers of net, here’s a good ol’ fashion dump list. Don’t hate me!
1) The BossHoss
This band from Berlin mocks celebrates the stylings of country music in America by covering pop tunes from America. They refer to their versions as “Country Trash Punk Rock.” But in German, I guess. (via Dave, more BossHoss here)
2) Remember these?
Oh yeah, Lisa Skye! I forgot about, um, her...
Not the specific (wacky) strip itself, but the Hostess ads found in comic books about, oh, 25-30 years ago. Okay, you probably don’t remember them. But Seanbaby (no relation) did, and he’s collected all the food-tossing, problem-solving insanity on his site.
Working in IT (as I do) requires an amazing amount of patience. Don’t believe me? Click on the above link, or simply watch this video. You will believe… (via Eric)
4) Unicorn Vs. Narwhal – The Game
Ever wonder what the outcome of such a fantastic battle (but not quite Awesome) would be? Click the above link and find out! (via Urlesque)
5) Working UPC Art

Happy Find… Anthony Jeselnik
This guy tells the best wrong jokes I’ve ever heard. Enjoy (and possibly be mortified) while I continue nursing this hangover…
Happy Find… The Chris List
(I apologize for being behind on posts… I plan to catch up soon.)
My friend (and coworker) Chris often makes interesting web discoveries, and he always passes the info onto me, and I to you. I always make sure to give credit where credit is due, so I thank him for his finds as a footnote. No more. Maybe.
This could be a one-shot; it could be a regular. If it is, will this post stay the Chris List, or will it get a more clever name? I can’t say for sure. What I can say for sure is that the following website delighted our coworkers for hours/days on end. Unfortunately I was busy at clients, and didn’t get to partake in the shenanigans…
"This is what we like to call a 'choose your own adventure' family photo."
The URL says it all, and not all of the pics and comments are hilarious, but when you find a gem – it rocks. Unlike that pun. Awkwaaard…
2) This pic is worth 1002 words…
Chris doesn’t even have an iPhone, but he made me aware of this site. And even though it is iPhone centric, and I feel bad for bringing it up, it could be worth it if any of the games pan out to be good…
Just like digital candy...
Check it daily to see what new free games are available for download. Like you ever do anything I say.
BONUS AWKWARD:
"Ever wondered what the kid with the clarinet is really thinking?"
Happy Find… People Of Public Transit
And I thought People of Walmart was Tralfamodorian zoo-worthy. That’s probably because I live in Detroit, where we only have a People Mover* and not a subway.
Introducing… People of Public Transit!
It’s a world where this exists:
Does anyone else smell derivative sitcom?
And this:
It's fun to pretend they're singing "Bohemian Rhapsody."
*A t-shirt that sums up the general consensus’ opinion of our beloved Detroit:
Alternate slogan: "Where the future chokes for survival."
Happy Find… 2012 Preview Re-Edits
Some people believe that the world is going to end December 21, 2012. I, on the other hand, think it already has. Why else would Taco Bell have gotten rid of chili cheese burritos? (NOTE: I considered innumerable options for this “joke,” but the truth is that I really really loved their chili cheese burritos…)
Anychuro, the new movie 2012 is going to be unleashed upon us well before then. Everyone that will see it will be seeing it because of the special effects, and not the actors or their acting. Don’t believe me? Here’s the trailer with all the destruction edited out:
BONUS VIDEO: A recut of the preview as if it was 70’s Grindhouse film. Enjoy.
BONUS PLEA: If anyone out there has any pull at Taco Bell, it would give me new hope to know that they might bring chili cheese burritos back. I mean, seriously, what did chili ever do to you, Taco Bell? You can have potatoes and bacon, and not chili? You can even have BellHedz and not chili?!
See, even these guys look upset you don't have chili cheese burritos anymore...
Happy Find… Jimmy Fallon’s “7th Floor West”
Tonight is the sixth season premiere of The Hills, and I hate to admit this but the show fascinates me.
It’s not like a car wreck or guilty pleasure kind of thing… The best analogy I can think of is that it’s hypnotic like a campfire.
You watch the flames move around without rhyme, reason, or purpose, sucking in the oxygen, destroying that from which it springs. When two logs strike each other, sparks fly. It makes you feel warm and fuzzy because you know you’re safe, and far from burning in the random pointlessness of the hot embers. You enjoy marshmallows on chocolate in between graham crackers.
That’s exactly what watching The Hills is like.
Vodpod videos no longer available.

And that’s the very essence that Late Night With Jimmy Fallon captures in their spoof series, 7th Floor West. So grab some mini marshmallows and a box of Teddy Grahams and click the image to link to the campyfire that is Jimmy Fallon’s 7th Floor West (all the episodes):
Jimmy and ZOMG! He's with Whitney Port from "The City"!
Happy Finds… When American Culture Pops Overseas
Well, I don’t know exactly what pop culture activity in America spurned this, but considering the hip hop, the sunglasses, and the kicking of burgers, we obviously inspired it:
BONUS: If you haven’t seen this yet, you must still be on dial-up and rabbit ears:
Happy Find… People Of Walmart
It's a little bit late for the condom.
I’m a fan of Kurt Vonnegut’s works (I would declare huge fan, but I’ve read less than a handful of his books… oops!), but as I recall in Slaughterhouse-Five, there was a zoo on Tralfamadore that housed Earthlings.
ATTENTION ALL TRALFAMADORIANS!
If you want some fine specimen for your collection, search no further than any local Walmart. If you require samples, check out the menagerie of folks (and their vehicles) at the website People Of Walmart.
And while you’re at Walmart, bathroom cleaning supplies are in aisle five… in case you wanna build a sex toy or something…
So it goes…
