Incendiary Lit

Now, I’ve never seen Buffy the TV show, which for someone who loves Firefly is an odd thing to say, but I came across this very well done fan video for Buffy that uses the hilarious Weird Al song “Wanna B Ur Lovr” and had to post it. The song is almost like a writing exercise in itself: Write a song that is wholly composed of cheesy pick up lines and innuendos.

What an amazing singer she is when they single out her mic’s audio.

Even if you don’t like Harry Potter, this is some pretty creative subtitle work.

This was from May during their positive message week. I found it while tooling around with the long-lasting fun button that they have called Random. Daily comics for like five years generates a whole lot of laughs. Here’s one.

Some of these quotes are really entertaining, and the stupidity of the general populace, at least, is often, and terribly frustrating. You know, I’ve been thinking about it, and I think David Kirby’s to blame for my long, confusing, meandering blogging style. I keep it somewhat at bay when writing poems, though sometimes you just yearn for a sentence with three adjectives and five nouns, you know? But yeah, Kirby and my rereading of his amazing and flowing poems has either affected my train of thought process, or it has tapped me into it, or maybe he writes poems like a blogger. What the hell is a blogger anyway? This is stupid. Which brings us back to the link of quotations about human stupidity. Here’s the page, and here are a couple of my favorites:

“Unless one pretends to be stupid and deaf, it is difficult to be a mother-in-law or father-in-law.” - Chinese Proverb (though in my case it’s not true, still, very funny that the stereotype has been around so long)

“Stupid mistakes are made by others. We only make unavoidable errors.”

“Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.”

“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.” - Thomas Szasz

If you don’t get that, give it a minute. Underneat’ that.

There’s the classic Giraffes in the Air.

Then there’s Tetris is Ridin’ Spinnas.

We’re reminded of a different time, a less scientific time, when it was raining men.

If there is one person I’ve really gained a new respect for in the course of my undergraduate work it’s Bill Cosby. The man’s really smart, and he has ideas, even if they aren’t all popular. So to honor him, here’s some horrible mockeries in Cosby Bebop, Dr. Dre Ft. Cosby, and Cosby contacts Neo.

This A Capella group has arranged Ben Fold’s version of Dr. Dre’s “Bitches Ain’t Shit” in an entertainingly fresh way… you know, for a cover. Definitely vulgar, so if the words in the title of the song offend you, you’re warned.

Just bounce around once you get there. The comic vault is vast and hilarious. In honor of Tyler Dilts, for introducing us to World War Z, a book I’d probably never have picked up on my own, I introduce you all to this Cyanide and Happiness.

Harry Potter and the Misleading Link. That’s all you really need to know. This clip is like 20 seconds long, so if you don’t enjoy it at all, it’s only a third of a minute. The day will still be young for you afterwards.

Also, if you really wanna nerd out, here’s some chanting and translation from a bunch of monks from a nerdy series of movies like Star Wars.

Yes, the show we all know and love, or don’t know and would love, The Soup brings us this funny little clip from the National Spelling Bee. A very tense moment for that little speller.

It’s Billy Collins’s poem “Workshop” and it’s so accurate, and the poem so absurd I wish I got to read the poem critiqued. It would have to be better than much of what I’ve read in workshops. There’s audio and the poem at this link. Billy Collins introduces the poem and reads it. He kind of sounds like Kevin Spacey, doesn’t he? Poets.org is just awesome. Thank you Poets.org for providing such an enormous well of information. Here’s the poem.

Come on, Lolcatz are just hilarious, because Kitties are, well, cute, I guess.

Since it’s on their website, I’d rather link to it than post it, but “How me breaking up with you is like Jon Lester pitching a no-hitter against the Royals” is a hilarious story in the form of an email. Here’s a short selection from the analogous piece:

Yes, I know we were together two years. Did you know the Royals hadn’t been no-hit for 35 years? Yes, I know how much you’ve committed to the relationship. Do you have any idea how much my collection of George Brett jerseys cost? Yes, it will be awkward for you to see me at work. You know what will be really awkward? The Royals finishing a four-game series against a team that just no-hit them. Can you step outside your own selfish world and imagine that for a second?

So check it out, it’s pretty short and really funny. Also browse around McSweeney’s while you’re there, they host copious amounts of great stuff. And you can even make a donation to help Sudan’s Lost Boys.

The Arrested Development Pilot. That’s right, for those of you who have never seen the show– Meet the Bluths. For fans, remember way back in the beginning? So much changed over the course of three seasons, but the pilot’s still damned funny.
