Funniest thing I’ve seen on YouTube in a long time (maybe ever):

Steve Vai Shreds

Slash Shreds

Eddie Van Halen Shreds

I’m not sure where Hoogie-Boogie Land is or what you’re likely to find there, but apparently these guys can take you there. It’s quite an experience.

Have you ever been in a situation where you wished someone would call you so you could pretend that something important came up and you had to leave? Well, now you can do exactly that with the Popularity Dialer.

Just give it a phone number, date and time and the type of call you want, and you’re all set. The options range from the basic “popularity call” to “cousin in need” to the newly added “band practice” call, which is especially good for all you lazy musicians out there just looking for an excuse to get out of something.

Jack Black is kind of hit or miss with me. Sometimes I think he’s really good (School of Rock) and other times he can be kind of annoying (mostly everything else). But his new movie (or at least this new movie that he’s in), Be Kind, Rewind, looks really good. It’s directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), which probably has a lot to do with it, but I think Jack Black as actually a really good fit for this part. I probably would have seen this movie based on the concept alone, without even seeing the trailer:

A man becomes accidentally magnetized and erases all the tapes in the video store where his best friend works. To save the store, the duo re-enact and re-film every movie that its single loyal customer, an elderly woman, rents.

In case that isn’t enough for you, here’s the trailer:

I’m not exactly sure how this works, but it’s awesome. I want my own private Chuck E Cheese robot band (or whatever this place is… Showboz Pizza or something).

Craigslist is an interesting place. You can find a job, an apartment, a new drummer… even a “beautiful, white, hung tranny.” Basically, whatever you’re looking for.

Over the years, users have voted on their favorite postings to the site, which are then archived in the Best of Craigslist section. Some of the highlights:

• To the Girl with the vagina
• Dear Dog: just take a shit already
• To the gay guy that I inadvertantly flirted with. Sorry.
• Dear, guy masturbating in the bathroom stall at my work…
• TO THE WOMAN WHO IS BLOWING MY BOSS
• Young homo trying to connect with drive-by cocktease - m4m
• Keep Your Goddamn Anal Beads Out of the Dishwasher!
• The delicate balance that is my ballsack

Seriously, there’s hours of entertainment there.

This might be the best thing I’ve ever heard. From Boing Boing:

Police officer Edward Sanchez of Dearborn, Michigan made some pot brownies with his wife and got so paranoid that he called 911 for fear they were dying. The recording of the 911 call is absolutely insane. From a transcript:

Sanchez:I think I’m having an overdose. and so is my wife.
911: Overdose of what?
Sanchez: Marijuana…
Sanchez: We made brownies. and I think we’re dead. I really do…
Sanchez: Time is going by really, really, really slow…
Sanchez: What’s the score in the Red Wings game?
911: I’ve got no clue, i don’t watch the Red Wings.
Sanchez: I just wanted to make sure this isn’t some kind of hallucination I’m having.

OK, I originally had a couple more douches I wanted to get to but our old friend Douche #1 is already back (with an even douchier look!) and he somehow managed to bring a new level of douchey-ness to the table.

This guy squeezes more douchery douchebaggery into one single frame of video than anyone I’ve ever seen. You almost don’t even need to see the whole commercial. This one frame should be (more than) enough for anyone. But if you have a douche-wish like me (kind of like a death wish, only with less car chases) it’s the same deal as before:

Click here to go to the Vongo website and then click on… well it should be pretty obvious where you click.

Patton Oswalt is coming out with a new album. It’s called Werewolves and Lollipops and if you like comedy, you should probably buy it. Otherwise, you don’t like comedy.

I’d like to introduce you all to someone:

Say hello to Douche #1 in our new feature that’s fun for the whole family,
“File Under: DOUCHE”

If you’ve never seen him before, the photo alone probably isn’t enough to convince you, although that popped collar should be somewhat of a tip off.

To get yourself up to speed, click here to go to the Vongo website, and then click where it says “Check out Vongo’s latest TV spot”.

Watch it a couple times if you have to. Let the douche wash over you.

What’s So Douchey?

This guy just oozes pure douche. His overall douchey attitude definitely scores big points and being “always on the go” is classic douche. But what put him over the top were all the super-distracting (to me at least) hand gestures that he no doubt learned from “The Seven Secrets of the Highly Successful Douche”, the go-to guide for all things douchey.

So far, I’ve only seen this guy in one commercial. There are other, more prolific douches that we’ll be featuring in future episodes. But my hand was forced by the sheer number of times I’ve been subjected to this full-on douche assault. He had to go down first.
