If you have no idea what I’m talking about see this post that really kicked off the lolcat phenomenon. xkcd even acknowledged the lolcat phenomenon with this comic. There’s no point trying to make sense of it. Either you think it’s funny or you don’t. It does help to be a geek and have an odd sense of humor. Which category do you put yourself in: show me the kittehs, this is freaking retarded or I don’t get it? Here are some past phenomenons I enjoyed if you happened to miss them:

I guess his satire gives you a good chance to stand back and just laugh at what has been going on in pop culture. Just to give you an idea about my history of being a Weird Al fan, I think Alapalooza from 1993 was the first CD I ever owned. Here’s the single “White and Nerdy” off his new album “Straight Outta Lynwood”.

Oh I’m just kidding, or am I?

I enjoyed the commercials and didn’t think about the actor being in anything else until I came across this clip on CollegeHumor today. Turns out he is Jemaine Clement and is half of “New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo”, Flight of the Conchords. The other half, Bret McKenzie, has been around, played in The Black Seeds and played the role of Figwit in the first and third Lord of the Rings movies.

I’m a big fan of comedy and they just seem to click for me. I’m a fan for sure now and hope to see more of them. Here’s their clips from HBO’s One Night Stand which is going to be re-run Saturday night. Check out the rest of the special with the two 15 minute clips. Their set is pretty clean, one f-bomb in their last song of Part 2, but overall probably not suitable for kids. The embedded clip is their parody on rap/hip-hop.

Well it turns out I didn’t have to look further than the end of my driveway. Since I was the first to discover it I get to name it and classify it.

  • Name: Garage 052306CG90240
  • Characteristics: Exhibits behavior similar to black holes. Instead of attracting matter indiscriminantly, Garage 052306CG90240 targets household items that have been abandoned with the hope of being utilized again one day.
  • Example items discovered inside anomaly: unused weight bench from 1972 and empty cardboard boxes that reached over 3m high when stacked on top of each other.
  • Course of action: Retrieve items whose hope of further utilization has expired and send those items to one of two anomalies, Garbage 55GALGREY or Salvation Army 90241JUNK.
  • Expected outcome: The junk collection abilities of Garage 052306CG90240 will be abated for the foreseeable future. Reduction of matter in the anomaly will allow deployment of foosball table and mini-javelin board.

Hint: If you didn’t get it I started cleaning out my garage so I could play foosball and darts at my graduation party. That was much more concise but not as nerdy or fun.

Also note I used metrics which scientists use to make themselves look important. I personally measure all distances using nailweeks, the cummulative length my 20 fingernails and toenails grow in one week which is approximately equal to 3.5 inches or 26.67 cm for the rest of you scientists.

It is a reality TV show where a group of people are going to be tourists, at least that’s what they think. When the went through and interviewed the people for selection, they used psychology tests to see who would be the most gullable and it turned out they are not so bright young people. The quote above is from them practicing radio transmission from the card the lecturer is holding. It takes a special kind of person to think they are going to be blasted into space and this how they would be prepared for it, I haven’t seen anything on reality TV since Joe Millionaire. Survivor? Apprentice? Big Brother? Trading Spouses? Supernanny? Bah, fabricating such an elaborate facade is way more difficult and seeing them actually pull it off is very enjoyable even if it is at the expense of the dimwitted participants. They are eventually told there will be gravity in the “spaceship” because “gravity generators” in the floor that have only been developed in the past month, but they will never be leaving the ground. 3 episodes down so it should get a little more comical as the time for “blast off” approaches.
