Will This Be Bigger Than 'Ship My Pants'?

Posted By: Stu Jeffries · 5/24/2013 5:21:00 AM

Last month, Kmart put out a juvenile ad featuring the line "ship my pants," and it's since been viewed over 17 MILLION times on YouTube.  Now they have a new ad to promote a deal where you can get cheaper gasoline if you spend $50 or more.

And the line they repeat over and over in this one is, quote, "big gas savings." 

I laughed again. Because I'm, you know, 12 years-old. :)

A Great Prank...Or Just Mean?

Ask any kid and they'll tell you that the only thing better than a day off from school is an UNEXPECTED day off from school.

Have a look at this awesome April Fool's prank executed to perfection by a school bus driver.

I have no doubt that he puts up with all manner of grief from these kids on a day-to-day basis. Nice to see he gets a chance to give some of it back. :)

 

Jon Stewart on Toronto Mayor Rob Ford

Posted By: Stu Jeffries · 5/22/2013 5:14:00 AM

This has to be one of the funniest pieces I've seen in a long time.

Jon Stewart gives his take on mayoral troubles, including our mayor  allegedly caught on video smoking crack with drug dealers.

His take is classic.

What do you think about this whole situation?  Feel free to comment below and while you're at it, SHARE this blog with your friends on Facebook if you find the video funny.

 

14 Year-Old Shreds Some Van Halen

Posted By: Stu Jeffries · 5/22/2013 4:47:00 AM

When I was 14, the only thing I could play on guitar was a half-assed version of John Denver's 'Take Me Home (Country Road)'.

I'm now 53 and it's still the only thing I can play.

That's why this 14 year-old girl makes me sick.

Check out how she shreds Van Halen's 'Eruption'. I don't think Eddie Van Halen can play it this well.

Sick. Sick. Sick.

 

RIP Ray Manzarek

Posted By: Stu Jeffries · 5/21/2013 5:11:00 AM

The rock world suffered a huge loss yesterday.

Ray Manzarek, keyboardest for The Doors, died of cancer in Germany.    He and Jim Morrison formed the band after meeting at Venice Beach in California, back in 1965.  The Doors have sold 100 million albums worldwide.

Ray was 74 years old.  He played music on and off with Doors guitarist Robby Krieger, from 2001 up until he got sick.  He also produced a few records for other bands, and wrote two novels.

Here's Ray with The Doors from 1968 performing 'Light My Fire'.

Rest in peace, Ray.

I Like a Good Prank...and Cookies.

One of the hosts of the "Today" show in Australia messed with his co-host's teleprompter script the other day . 

The Aussie co-host  was talking about a soccer match in Amsterdam, and the extra line he added was, quote, "How good are the cookies there?"  (As in pot cookies.)

Great reaction...one worthy of 'Anchorman'.

 

 

A Very Cool Lennon-McCartney Mash-Up

Posted By: Stu Jeffries · 5/16/2013 4:56:00 AM

Thought I'd post this in honour of Wings' 'Rockshow' playing at select Cineplex theaters.

It's an awesome mash-up of John Lennon's 'Imagine' and McCartney and Wings' 'Band On the Run'.

Dig, my friends. :)

Watch the Birdie...Now, CATCH the Birdie!

Posted By: Stu Jeffries · 5/15/2013 6:19:00 AM

Watch this guy snatch a bird out of mid-air with his bare hand.

Now, there's a promo for a new book by NFL quarterback Colt McCoy right after it so some people think it's fake.

I don't care either way. It just looks cool!
