Thanksgiving Video Dump: The Stuffing Instead of Potatoes Edition November 25, 2009 3:42 PM | permalink

Thanksgiving is going rouge thanks to Sarah Palin and our friends at Daily Motion, but no Turkey Day in history will ever be complete again without look back at the final gobble gobble of one particular bird during an interview with the one-time Republican nominee.

With the exception of a few canned tunes during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and perhaps a repeat of The Sound of Music, it’s really a songless holiday, but a few aspiring actors are looking to change all that with a Gobble You Up Rap and Sexy Pilgrim.

And these guys are really talking turkey.

Thanksgiving is also a great time to remember what you’re grateful for, and reminisce about some of holiday’s “oh no you didn’t” moments.

Finally, some practical advice: you’re tired after dinner, and after eating all the vodka turkey, let’s face it you’re drunk. So here are some valuable advice on How to avoid doing the Thanksgiving dishes.

Friends Don't Let Friends Drink and Dance November 20, 2009 1:26 PM | permalink

It’s the Dumb as a Blog weekend PSA.

The dangers of drinking and dancing.  Just Say No.

Oh so many different things can go wrong and gone are the days when your moonwalk attempts and lap dancing escapades only live on in acid flashbacks. 

Everyone has a video camera these days, and someone is bound to catch you doing something obscene.  So please take a few minutes to watch this video before you knock a few back at your cousin Barry’s bar mitzvah or Sister Sue’s wedding.  You'll thank us Monday morning.

 

The ridiculous thing is; you know someone still took her home at the end of the night.

The 'Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better' Video Dump November 20, 2009 1:13 PM | permalink

This week’s video round-up is dedicated to the winners, those who excel at what they do.  Even if we would never dare do what they do.

Ah, the art of cup stacking, If the world doesn’t end in 2012, I see a new Olympic sport on the horizon.  All I can say is “Oh my gosh!”

I am less impressed by this faux surprise. And now officially deaf.  Move over Halle Berry.

I am, however, always impressed by people who are in touch with who they really are. And strangely enough, may see a double-wide in my future, and I'm not talking about my pants.

This bulldog must’ve been weaned on a skateboard.  Or pot. Or both.

And I always like to include a little how-to, so here’s a video that will help you win that next wheel-barrow race your entered into.

Finally, a mascot that just may have more talent than the team her reps.  Do you think if Mr. Met could do that, we could make the playoffs?

The 'Edumacational' Video Dump of the Week November 12, 2009 4:46 PM | permalink

"The Circle of Life," "Survival of the Fittest," call it what you will, but a group of soccer moms and their brood almost got a gnarly dose of reality when a deer hopped into a lion’s cage at a Washington D.C. zoo.

More importantly, I think that video could serve as unofficial proof  that zoos are tranquilizing the animals because when it comes to lions this is typically more like it. 

Beer Pong 101: Who says drinking games can’t be educational? Daily Motion has some tips on impressing your pals with beer pong tricks, with a little history and geometry thrown in for good measure.  I see a class at Harvard in the near future.

This week I learned: it’s no longer safe to drink and take mass transit. Check out what happens when a drunk chick falls asleep on a train. There was guilt and shame going on until she saw the video of the drunk chick who passed out before she got onto the train.

Hate Hollywood heavyweights and their annoying ambiguous film endings? Well, our friends at College Humor put a few of our favorites to rest.

Speaking of favorites, remember Tom Cruise’s famous Risky Business dance? Well, once you check out these hot chicks you may think he actually has some talent after all.

Now, don't you feel so much more enlightened?

Who am I to judge people? Maybe this guy is clever.

But getting woken up this way by the man in my life wouldn't exactly get my juices flowing.  Very dumb idea. And men, with the internet nowadays you should never have a shortage of tricks up your sleeve. 

So I took the liberty of linking you here to five of the most romantic ways to wake up the lucky lady in your life! Be smart this week fellas!

How-To's & How-Not-To's Video Dump November 5, 2009 4:03 PM | permalink

One of the most popular videos of the week, with the best back story: Drunk forklift driver totally destroys a liquor warehouse. Gives new meaning to the term “under the influence.”

Everyone loves a good how-to video. Here’s a clever trick on opening wine bottles without a corkscrew. God, I really coulda used this in college.  I’m also throwing in a video on how not to open a wine bottle without a corkscrew for good measure.

And this one from Daily Motion’s truTV channel is not for the squeamish. Check out this skateboarder’s freakish arm accident. And he doesn’t even flinch!

Six minutes of people doing random, non-useful stuff with actual useful stuff.  It’s strangely captivating. Oh, and Chinese take-out thrown in for good measure. 

Don’t have time to sit around and scrounge the internet the video that’s all the latest rage? Luckily Metacafe has a mix of the best web video’s ever.

Nebraska, we hardly know ya. But we know that this disturbing video out of KVXO in Omaha from 2006 is now ripe to be burning up the internets.

Oh but shoot! Checking out their funny "The End" video from 2007, looks like the talented news nuts at KXV0 were all fired. Poo.

Yesterday afternoon I posted a sneak peek from The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest on our official World's Dumbest Facebook Fan page.

We often tag the celebrity talking heads and the real people in our videos on Facebook which makes the page super zingy.  But the best part is the fan comments.  Check out this one we got about the brand new snowmobile clip we put up before last night's show...

Dr. K: When I was a cop in Michigan in 1982 I arrested a guy for DUI on a snowmobile. My first clue was that there was no snow on the ground and it was September and his snowmobile was tearing up the neighborhood lawns. It might have been that same guy from the video.

Thanks Dr. K!  Maybe it's the same guy, or even his kid... either way, both are a little slow-mobile and cut from the same dumb cloth. 

Wanna see the clip?  Well you could go to the TSG Presents Facebook page, or just watch it below right now!

Dumb Video Delight October 29, 2009 3:37 PM | permalink

Dogs aren't the only ones who like to hang their heads out the window -- watch and see.  Bonus: As it sounded like Russian to me, I asked our own Nastacia to provide us with a translation. She says they say, "It's cooler than any cat," between a lot of cussing.

Shark bites another shark in half in Queensland. Think this is why Aussies are such good swimmers.

Nerd wet dream alert! Video make under: From hot chick to zombie in 60 seconds.  

From the truTV channel on Daily Motion: Proof that six seconds is enough for a fabulous FAIL video.

OK, we started with a stupid cat vid, let's end with another.  Heavenly Puss, a Tom & Jerry classic on metacafe.

Metallicats? October 21, 2009 2:14 PM | permalink

In honor of last month's A Day Without Cats on the internet, we got a fair amount of attention for our video entitled "Maru The Employee," about a cubicle worker who seems to have let watching cats on the internet affect his performance at work.

Now, with this new video from the always awesome Mark Douglas at Barely Digital, it seems that the backlash against internet cats (and the fans they draw) has shifted from a meme to a movement, and does it with a pretty spot on Metallica impression. Check it out:

For whom does the Keyboard Toll now, Keyboard Cat?

It tolls for thee.
