Fighting all the odds, the Planet Fun has done it! Thanks to the friendly people at Celticsblog this blog has skyrocketed to #81 on the growing wordpress blog sites. I know what you’re thinking, am I going to quit and ride off into the sun set? Realizing that my moment in the sun has come and that never again will I be able to top this very prestigious award.
No, absolutely not. In fact, now I’m hungry for more, and I won’t stop until I hit the mid 60’s on growing blogs. Move over Baptists For Brownback 2008, HERE COMES THE FUN
And it all starts today. Realizing that perhaps there is a crowd out there who is disintersted in the Boston Celtics, Wrestling Clips and things related to Arrested Development. It’s time to reach out.
WELCOME PEOPLE OF NEW JERSEY
Let’s start things off with in my opinion, easily the funniest Triumph the Insult Comic Dog skit ever. Please leave your “Star Wars is better” comments to yourself. This is an amazing balance of pathetic Jovi fans and Triumph. It’s 8 minutes long, watch it all. But if you’re in a hurry, go to the end to hear Triumph’s song at 7:45
The most hypnotizing video of all time; Gino the Ginny. The video is what appears to be an eight year old putting on the greatest impression of a Jersey Shore-ian ever. Doesn’t sound funny? It is. And though several points during this you’ll think about turnign the clip off, I promise you; if you start this video you won’t stop it out.
If this seems “far fetched” for you, try this clip on for size
Speaking of Mr. Jovi, here’s him taking himself just a little bit too seriously while butchering one of my favorite songs.
Good News: I got a Mac Pro so you can expect original material coming soon!
But to keep things going, a few misc. links.
So I would never, ever, EEEVER promote anything involved with Mad TV but one of its cast members has produced one of the most ridiculous youtube clips ever doing some absolutely dead on impressions.
And since I can’t leave you with just one link, a few (ok, one) person complained about my ‘classic wrestling’ clips and excluding the mammoth of all clips. BTW, I hate to keep bringing up wrestling over and over but these clips are so ridiculously funny. Ladies And Gentlement, I present you: Lex Luger Vs. His Shirt. (Here’s a fun game, try to guess how many different types of drugs he’s on before he taped this. I’d go with 19)
This summer three of the stars of Arrested Development are coming out to star in movies. We’ve discussed Cera, let’s talk the other. Will Arnett (GOB) is coming out with a movie this summer with SNL’s Will Forte that looks pretty funny. The trailer is worth watching just for the final song in the trailer.
Unfortunately, Jason Bateman’s movie doesn’t look anywhere near as funny. In fact, it doesn’t look funny at all. And even less promising news the release has been pushed back a bunch of times and the title has changed (neither good signs). And to make matters worse, Zack Braff is in it. It’s called The Ex and if you feel like searching it on Youtube, be my guest. I’m not bothering with it here, and it’s not worth the view to be quite honest. Instead I’ll give you this very, very funny Zach Braff spoof. It really gets funny 2 minutes in
“you know what just passed. a moment.”
If you think that parody was too over the top, try watching the trailer for this movie entitled Last Kiss starring Zach Braff.
OK these are classic Youtube clips which I’m sure a lot of you have seen. They’re both wrestling related, but you definetly don’t have to enjoy wrestling to enjoy these clips. They’re easily both top 10 funniest youtube videos I’ve ever seen.
Ultimate Warrior
For the few that are unfamiliar with him, the Ultimate Warrior is a raving psycopath. His website ultimatewarrior.com is a HILARIOUS read as he makes all kinds of nonsensical rants about politics, religion, etc. It should be noted that the University of Connecticut released a public apology after the Warrior spoke at their college after making several inappropriate comments including “Queer’n don’t make the world work.”
“Fuel up the Rocket Ship!”
The Iron Sheik
I should note here that the Iron Sheik literally might be the craziest man on the planet. This clip shows the Sheik’s basic understanding that wrestling is fake, despite participating in it for years. I’d like to add that there are several rants online by the Sheik that are nearly as funny, all including the name Michael Jackson. WARNING: The following clip contains very obscene language.
This hilarious video looks into the possibility of Roger Clemens wanting to pitch for the Yankees again…. in the year 2057
Rocket! Rocket! Rocket!
And to be fair to my Yankee readers, enjoy a series of very embaressing commercials starring Jonathon Papelbon
Observation: In the first commercial the manager acknowledges that they’re bringing in Jonathan to play for Bishop Kenny High School. After checking out the deals at 125 Auto Papelbon enters the game and says “Keep the engine running, this won’t take long.” And well, my observation is, wouldn’t you expect it not to be long? He’s pitching at Bishop Kenny High School.
Today marked the last aired “Price is Right” hosted by Bob Marker.
For nearly 35 years Bob Barker has hosted TV’s most famous game show The Price is Right. In that time Barker managed 17 Emmy’s for gametime hosting, 20-50 Barker’s Bitches, 6 sexual harassment cases (since 1996) and roughly 18,000 dining room sets (though to be fair, only about 6 people collected on the dining room set).
Through his sincerity, wit, charm and his way with the lades (welcomed or not) Barker has become what every father wishes that his son will someday become (this statmenet may only apply to father’s who wish their sons to be excellent game shows hosts). The perfect host for the perfect sick-day show. Barker graced us all with his unique style for as long as we could remember and now just like that, he’s gone.
And now, The Price is Right has announced its plans to continue the show (apparently they’ve been searching for a new host for over 2 years) without Bob. But how do you replace the unreplaceable? Scottie Pippen couldn’t replace Michael Jordan what makes ue believe that Host X will be able to replace Bob? It feels like the Producers are dropping down the plinko pill, but all the results lead to a loss.
I’m not saying I can fix The Price is Right’s problems, but I can help delay the flood. I have compiled a list of candidates who I think would be a good fit, and one who I think will be the perfect fit. Let’s check them out.
SKIP BAYLESS
Currently on ESPN2’s First Take Bayless is an outspoken correspondent for the show’s 1st and 10 section where he combines his knowledge and whit to formulate a (generally unpopular) opinion. Through his years of TV experience Bayless has shown an ability to charm guests with his strong ability to communicate as well with his impeccable physique that he is unafraid to boast about.
The downside is that Bayless is a notorious contrarion and could possibly turn on the guests if he realizes that the majority of the audience would like to see them win (particularily if said guest was a minority). In addition to this, there is a good chance that Barker’s notorious “Spray or nutor your dog” segment would be replaced by an angry rant about “Prince” James or Team Obliterator (Terrell Owens).
Fred Willard
A Christopher Guest veteran, Willard unquestionably has the charm and whit to be a good replacement. He’s actually had some game show experience. It hasn’t gone unnoticed by the producers of The Price is Right as Willard is rumored to be a legitimate candidate for Barker’s replacement.
Unfortunately Willard has a bad track record, and a lot of things he touches seems to fail. There’s also the fear that popular water cooler talk will change to “So it turns out that guy from all those movies replaced Bob Barker.” Not a good idea.
Kid Vid
No longer a child, Vid is all grown up (while maintaining his ability to see what’s going around him in virtual reality) and looking for work. Popular with the ladies, Vid is undeniably handsome and also has shown a great heart through his years of charity with companion Wheelz.
Unfortunately, it has been brought to my attention that Kid Vid isn’t a real person.
Regis Philbin
The logical selection, Regis has literally every characteristic you’d look in a replacement for Barker. But the selection is too easy, so let me throw you out a bit of a wild card.
Alan Thicke
Listen, anyone who can put up with Tracey Gold deserves some kind of credit (and yes, I’m putting Tracey Gold in there to get the google hits again) A veteran TV performer, Thicke would be the absolute best replacement for Barker. An ageless Thicke has a young, allegedly very attractive wife and you’d be hard pressed to find a grandmother in this country who didn’t find him attractive. Thicke’s let his charisma shine through nearly everything he’s done and was featured in the best TV intro/theme ever. Plus, he fathered Mike Seaver. I mean, c’mon.
Allright, ya’all. Tomorrow I’m hoping that I can actually put in some real content and not just a bunch of links on one subject guided through with a minimal amount of narrative. But for now, suck it, I’m keeping up with it.
As I’m sure many of you have already discovered, there seems to be an emerging star on the fringe; Michael Cera. Cera, who many will remember as George Michael Bluth in Arrested Development is coming up with some very, very funny projects (along with the clip I’ve already linked to where he gets “fired” from the set of Knocked Up. By the way, funny thing to do on that clip is read the comments. Many people were working under the assumption that it wasn’t fake, and that Cera was actually originally casted as the stoner who impregnates Katherine Heigl). Cera, unfortunately did not crack the cast of the upcoming Licensed To Wed which looks punch yourself in the balls while burning funny. Oh, Robin Williams!
I’m sure many of you have seen the trailer for Super Bad , but here’s the uncensored trailer which is significantly funnier and leads one to believe that this movie could possibly be as good, if not better than the aforementioned comedy. The movie is actually written by Seth Rogen and was originally supposed to feature him but he grew too old. Fortunately, the kid who replaces him, Jonah Hill seems to be his clone. WARNING: This trailer contains VERY adult language.
In addition this, he allegedly has a series coming out on CBS (the series is definetly coming out, but I’m not sure if it’s actually going to be on CBS. I can’t exactly see it coming on before a rerun of Jag) Here’s the trailer, which is the funniest teaser trailer I’ve seen in a looooooooooong time. I STRONGLY reccomend watching this, even if its just for the first two quick clips. Features, Cera, David Cross and Andy Richter.
You can check out parts of their episodes too, if you enjoyed the teaser you can check it out. For now, here’s a clip of a prank that Cera and Clark did at a college open mic night. It’s literally 10 minutes of popsicle jokes “Why do you bed at night? Cuz the bed won’t go to you.” It doesn’t sound funny, but it is.
Ok, so a few people asked me what “Tell Me a Lie” is (the headline to the last entry)
“Tell Me a Lie” was a reference to a ridiculous montage/song the WWF used when wrestler Shawn Michaels was unable to compete for a year. It’s over-the-top-ness makes it an absolute 10 on the unintentional comedy scale.
In case you haven’t been watching CNN lately, or don’t get the generic newspaper that published this headline, the news is true; Vincent Kennedy McMahon is (presumed) dead. I request that you play the audio from the following clip to truly get the whole feel I’m going for (this site doesn’t allow one to upload MP3’s. The video is just one image, no reason to watch it. But the words. The words my friend, are magical.
btw, if you enjoy this song I also reccomend Hogan’s “Beach Patrol” as well as “I Want to be a Hulkamaniac.”
At the young age of 62, Vincent Kennedy McMahon was tragically taken from us. After a Vince McMahon Tribute Night went horribly wrong (featuring numerous “high profile” celebrities bashing Vince such as Donald Trump, Mark Cuban, Jesse “The Body” Ventura, and others) Vince was speechless upon his arrival to ringside. Frusterated, he silently returned to his limosine where the tragedy occurred. After shutting the door, McMahon’s car exploded into flames seemingly killing the owner of World Wrestling Entertainment.
The acual explosion doesn’t kick into about 50 seconds in, but Vince’s acting makes it definetly worth watching. You can mute it, please don’t stop playing song I requested you play.
Here is a testimony from an eye witness listed on WWE.com
“It was disgusting,” described Lucas Adnyl, a Curry Hill resident who made a 20-minute commute with a friend to watch Raw live at the arena. “A whole mess of people ran out of the building right after the explosion, and some of us got a pretty good look before [police officers and firefighters] cordoned off the area. I thought I saw Mr. McMahon’s body in the car, but I can’t say for sure; whatever it was, it was completely covered in flames. And the smell…God, I thought I was going to lose it.”
Vince McMahon was a global icon. Owner of the WWE, Producer of “See No Evil”, “The Marine” and “The Scorpion King.” Ring announcer. Our generation has grown up with the evolution of Mr. McMahon and it has been a pleasure for all (adolescent teens, and immatures alike) to be witnesses to all of his successes (btw, if you’re going to leave a comment spare me the XFL jokes, they’re not funny.)
Appropriately the WWE has decided to lower its corporate flag to half mass.
In case you’re skimming, WWE headquarters has dropped its corporate flag to half mass. I should note here, that WWE.com has decided against taking off its MASSIVE Ghost Rider advertisements. Nor its numerous links to something called “The Fart Button.”
While I don’t quite understand why officials would just “presume” someone to be dead, I can tell you this; the perpetrator shall be found and he will be paying hard times. Vince McMahon has brought joy to us all for years (for me, an entire lifetime) and for him to be taken away from us, it seems like the greatest national tragedy ever. So far the McMahon family has not announced plans for McMahon’s presumed funeral.
As far as who I think it was? Well, I think I’ve seen this kinda thing before…
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THIS ENTRY, PARTICULARILY THE AMOUNT OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS, AND WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THE CONTENT (TOO STRAIGHT FOWARD, TOO SHORT, ETC.
THE Planet Fun is a land of fun, where all your wildest dreams come true.
THE Planet Fun blog will be an assortment of just about everything. Columns, YouTube Links, General Links, etc. I’m essentially testing what people do like and what people will like for an upcoming web site. The Web Site will be an annex of what this blog will be, but with a lot more freedom than what Word Press can allow me to do. Not to say that you won’t be having fun here!
I’ll be putting up a lot of various stuff, basically anything that comes to my mind (Sports, Entertainment Reviews, HILARIOUS observational humor, Stating my opinion and physically threatening readers who don’t agree with my way of thinking and other standard blog-type stuff) anywhere between 4-7 times a week, so check back frequently. Please leave comments on anything telling me if you liked what you saw/read, or didn’t. Again, this is kind of a test ground so comments are very helpful so I know what I should and should not put on the web site.
I’ll also be checking hits and stuff, so you better go. But let me promise you, I’m not going to just go out there and throw my dignity to a curve. So don’t expect to see cheap ways of getting hits like JESSICA BIEL NUDE, TEEN HOTTIES, CRAZY SORORITY SISTERS or anything else along those lines.
So anyways, thanks for coming and heres some deleted scenes from Knocked Up
WARNING: These clips contains VERY adult language.
Not quite as funny, but still gets some laughs.
And here’s a link to a hysterical clip of Michael Cera (George Michael Bluth of Arrested Development) getting “fired” from the set. (I don’t know how to embed these, nor link them but they’re very worth seeing)
