New Years Eve: Get Your Boogie On

I haven't said much about it, but I'm rocking it here in the ATX, visiting my parents (unfortunately, this meant I missed some quality Wheezy time in Omaha). The last time we visited we didn't really see them, so this time Shorty and I have spent more time with them and taken it kinda easy.

But tonight is New Year's Eve, only one of the best party nights in over the 365 day year and Shorty and I are going to a party at one of our friends' places. The awesome part was my mom asking me if we were going to go to a party (I said yes) and she was like "OK, good. Your dad and I have been invited to a couple parties and wanted to make sure that you two weren't going to be bored at home." Thanks, mom.

Anyway in preparation for New Years Eve, here are some dance moves you can bust out tonight - it the Superbad sance intro performed masterfully by a couple of chicks.



This video is an exact reason why I love the Internets. Previously, this talent would have been wasted on a few friends, maybe a home video or a a talent show. Instead, now, it is getting burn on YouTube and FunnyOrDie as well as the all-important Skeet Thrower. They even have the video split-screened so you can see how well they performed it. Bonus: both of those videos are right at 1:05, so you can even watch them at work without feeling remotely guilty.

Also, while I'm on the subject of getting your groove on, here's a video of Will Ferrell giving us a little more cowbell with Queens of the Stone Age on SNL. This actually happened and I'm not sure how I've missed it (although I feel like I've seen this before). If you ever wanted to know what Will Ferrell would have looked like if he played the cowbell for more that 30 seconds, this is your chance.



I'm not sure how anyone on that stage held it together. Jimmy Falon couldn't in the damn skit...

Have a safe New Year's, everybody (and don't do be a derka by drinking and driving, honestly). I'll be traveling tomorrow so hopefully I'll be back by Wednesday or Thursday.

See you in 2K8.

Year In Recap: December

Its the last of the recaps from my posts of 2007. Just to let you know, I don't plan to recap my recaps - I'm not even going to link to them (you can get them from the side bar or search the recap tag, or click the recap tag). Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed reliving some of my posts/the awesome videos (that aren't mine) over the last few days. So, without further ado, here's the December recap.

In what was sort of a reminiscing post, I said I Wish I Would Have Tried This with respect to a couple of drunk crazy dudes jumping a Geo Tracker.

We saw a couple of dudes voluntarily taking shots to the nuts from a pitching machine while wearing One Nutty Buddy.

We saw an escalator attack a girl in a post entitled Some People Are Dumb. I guess I really could have gone a lot of directions in this post with a title like that.

I asked Why Is There Almost Always A Public Backlash? with respect to the potential Judd Apatow backlash. Ross gave an answer in the comments that might have been longer than the post itself.

On Christmas Eve, I tried to Make You Feel Good About Yourself by showing you the worst free throw form ever.

In the post Crazy Frustrating Video Games I showed you one of the craziest Mario mods ever.

And that's it. Most of my favorites from the past 12 months have now been recapped. I hope you learned something because I sure did - recaps are harder work than I thought. Until next year's recaps...

Year In Recap: November

We're down to the final two recaps. With my new posting method in full effect, November took off with 18 posts a lot of videos and not a lot of writing. I felt like I really hit my stride in November, and I saw my hits and subscriptions double, which is a good thing.

In November, I apparently had an obsession with bad commercials. In the post Tiddy Bear and Some Skeet Throwing had a couple outrageous ones. Who makes something with the word "tiddy" that sits on your chest?

There was an Emergency BCS Top 5 Change (maybe removal was the better word) because Elisha Cuthbert went a little crazy with her hair. I have since been told that this is illegal; however, I'm still removing her, just not replacing her. I also included some awesome/ludicrous dance videos in that post.

I gave you an awesome story about A Real Life Dwight vs. Michael at my gym in one post, but my favorite thing in that post may have been the Cowbell Hero video.

Whether or not you like Mike Huckabee, I told you a video he was in About to be All Over the Internets because it featured Chuck Norris and was entitled HuckChuckFacts.

Anytime Will Ferrell makes a short video that makes me laugh, I'll write about it/post it. Green Team did that.

When a referee penalizes a football player for "Giving Him The Business" and its caught on tape, you can be pretty sure it'll get posted here.

I showed you some of the craziest/weirdest Japanese Fanta commercials and reminded you that I Love Japanese Stereotypes in one crazy post. This post was like the 6th time in the month of November that I used commercials...

There was more Japanese shananigans to be had in November. In the post I'm A Man... Engrish and poor translations but somehow tied that all together with a video about chicks peeing while standing up. I'm not sure why, but the Urinelle commercial (another commercial!) theme song popped in my head the other day.

I told you to Prepare to be Seduced by Snoop Dogg's new song, Sensual Seduction. This song is catchy - if you like funk, you will eventually like this song.

Until the final recap...

Year In Recap: October

I hope two recaps a day isn't too much for you to read. Turns out you can just skip past them I guess...but that's no fun for me. Anyway, the October recap is up next.

I hit my 200th post in a post called Post #200: Its Been a Long Journey. Big thanks to my boy Wheezy for the new graphics again. I also changed my posting style to more videos, less talking at this point. I think its working really well despite the fact that I'm breaking that rule for these recaps.

Shipoopi was an awesome post that featured a couple ridiculous car insurance commercials. You know its good when I still get drunk texts that say "Shipoopi. Take that to the bank."

You may remember a song called Crank Dat (Superman Dat Ho). It wasn't overplayed or anything. Anyway, I took a look at the ridiculous Superman dance that swept the nation in the post called Superman, Crank Dat and the Houdini.

I don't mean to pick on R. Kelly, but he seems to come up a lot here (I'm not sure that that's a good thing). I took a look at another R. Kelly song/video/conversation in R. Kelly Breaks the 4th Wall.

I gave you another glimpse at It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia (no that's not a mistake, only the actual title is linked) with the Night Man song. If I'm ever down, I sing that song to myself. Sadly those videos aren't there anymore, but they were good damnit.

We looked at an awesome Internet education video and probably the best crowd shot of all-time in the a post entitled Let e Tell You Why My Life's a Trainwreck. Honestly, go back and watch that crowd shot and tell me if you don't laugh.

Until the November recap...

Willy, Il Principe Di Bel Air

I love Will Smith (although I'm boycotting his new movie because I hear he has to kill his own dog) but I'm not sure how he would translate into other languages. I have no clue, but apparently they translated The Fresh Prince of Bel Air into Italian. I have to imagine a lot of stuff was lost in translation (except for Carlton's dances) and it wouldn't be as funny, but you never know I guess. You be the judge.



That just doesn't sound like Will does it. Fortunately for Will, its not just The Fresh Prince that had issues translating to other languages. We've already seen the Japanese Spiderman, but have you've yet to see the 1964 Italian interpretation.



WTH? Seriously, why is Spiderman's belly sticking out of his shirt? This is the least fit superhero ever.

Year In Recap: Septiembre

Su hora para la recapitulación de septiembre. Había solamente 10 postes en septiembre así que será corta. Consecuentemente, estoy mecanografiando todo en español primero.

It's time for the September recap. There were only 10 posts in September, so it should be pretty quick.

Los videos más ridículos del mes estaban en un poste titulado ataque de los flotadores del desfile. Demuestra encajonado algunos de los años 80 peores que desfilan los X-Hombres los flotadores he visto siempre.

The most ridiculous videos of the month were in a post entitled Attack of the Parade Floats. It showcased some of the worst 1980's X-Men parade floats I have ever seen.

Probablemente di a Carlton Alfonso la prensa más positiva que lo reciben en un rato largo con un poste titulado ¿Adónde Carlton Alfonso Fue? Ese muchacho podría bailar.

I probably gave Carlton Alfonso the most positive press he's received in a long time with a post entitled Where Did Carlton Alfonso Go? That boy could dance.

En mi agolpamiento siempre cada vez mayor del hombre en Rainn Wilson (él apareció adentro como del 3 los postes de septiembre) le demostré un manojo de fútbol de Rainn/US (que no resultó como esperamos, el huh?) los anuncios en un poste llamaron a
Britney Dwight en un sujetador. Al parecer realmente amé utilizar la característica de la huelga también.

In my ever growing man crush on Rainn Wilson (he appeared in like 3 September posts) I showed you a bunch of Rainn/US Soccer (that didn't turn out like we expected, huh?) commercials in a post called Britney Dwight in a Bra. I apparently really loved to use the strike feature as well.

En el poste Qué Hizo este Verano? Recapitulé las películas del verano y le di algún hombre araña ridículo los videos. Éste no era probablemente uno de mis postes mejores, pero pensé que ató todo junto agradable.

In the post What Did I Do This Summer? I recapped the summer movies and gave you some ridiculous Spiderman videos. This was probably not one of my better posts, but I thought it tied everything together nicely.

Year In Recap: August

I got the blog back rolling again in August, cresting the double-digit marks on posts again. So, here comes the August recap.

I gave you a look at QVC: The Overlooked Channel and some of the crazy things that appear on it.

I complained about that Sean Kingston song "Suicidal" in the post No, You Make Me Suicidal. It also had the video of that crazy dude falling at the X Games and the picture above.

I let Avril back into my life in the post Avril, I Wish I Could Quit You. Nothing more to say here.

We took a long look at my boy I Am A Real (US) American. Our boy, Hulk has gone through some rough times lately - I can only hope he'll read this post and cheer up.

I ended my Summer Vacation when The Office said they ended theirs. We also had an awesome look into It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, a show I now love.
