You Should Be Watching Googlecurrent

The Google Current segments are consistently solid, but recently I saw one that was extra brilliant. Subjects of their satire this time: national advertising campaigns and promotional efforts of Georgia and Israel.

A couple of quotes that will come off much better if you watch the full video at Current.tv [annoying that their embeddable videos aren't full clip]:

"Coming to Israel based upon a few pictures I saw in Maxim was the best decision of my life."

"The women are so hot here things just blow up when they walk by. Which is all the time. I'm going to retire here as soon as my Georgia investment money pays off."

But clip below gives you good sense of the primary comedy value.

I love this stuff. Everything about it. First, it's a mighty fine sauce, with a flavor that works - oh yeah, it works. But even if it sucked, I think I'd use it. You absolutely cannot deny the appeal of Captain Curt, aka Barbeque's Super-Sized Heavyweight Champion. Recognize.

You Have to Love the Holiday Inn Express Commercials

I don't think I'll ever stay at a Holiday Inn Express as my life just never takes me in that direction where it's an option. But if the choice ever did come down between HEI and a La Quinta or a Residence Inn or whatever else you might find in the smaller cities of America, these commercials would definitely tip the scales. The lead guy is freaking brilliant.



"A little stock car humor there"


"I'm getting that sound in my head again ... every time you argue with me"


"So, in the end, it wasn't a half bad trip"


"She's crowing about her accomlishments on the World Wide Net Web"

WTF? - Sparkler Bomb on You Tube

Brilliance can be found in many forms. Two days ago I had no idea what a 'sparkler bomb' was. But I was assured by fellow guests at a 4th of July gathering that I needed to learn about them. Yesterday I had this video forwarded to me. And now I'm semi-obsessed with homemade explosion clips on YouTube. One of my favorite parts about this particular clip is the comment "this is by far the best one yet". "Yet".
