Laughs »Darell Bluett in World of Pictures (Worst Laugh)

darrell bluett in world of picturesLike a Kangol capped Rupert Pupkin, seemingly alone in his basement (or are there people in the corners of the room, at whom his eyes keep fearfully darting?) Darrell Bluett had plans to take the world by storm with his camcorder, or at least “The World of Pictures” the completely inexplicable title to this infamously horrible stand up routine.

By the looks of it, Bluett has failed to grasp the concept of comedy and his jokes about fat people, fat people losing weight, people out to kill fat people trying to lose weight and Tammy Bakker are not really jokes at all but something incomprehensible.

And I love it! And even funnier is this response, where a You Tuber named chesspieceface reenacts the routine word for word, awkward pause for awkward pause, mispronunciation for mispronunciation (“eatin their branola”, “people say some weird aggestions”). Re-contextualized, the work of Bluett reaches spectacular new heights that make you appreciate the original video even more.

Laughs »Hairdresser (Best Laugh)

hairdresser song stairway to stardomLaughs pick for 7/14/08
Here's what I said then:

I know I have mentioned the fabulous song Hairdresser that has been shown during the Found Footage Festival and to great effect in the TV Carnage Casual Fridays compilation DVD. At nearly five minutes long ( but feeling like fifteen) it's got to be the most infectious amateur lounge song ever recorded.

Jim and I will just start singing it randomly and then… we just can't stop. I feel bad for our friends that get caught in its wake, especially those that have yet to see it. Well, you don't have to wait to see it anymore, friends. Here is the link.

It comes to the world of youtube originally from the Long Island infamous 1980's cable access show “Starway to Stardom”, a talent show with the requisite cable access wicker, room dividers, and potted fake plants and lots of debatably talented kids and weird adults with accents.

It's a cult phenom among those that grew up with it or have discovered clips, and with clips like Hairdresser and it's lyric “tease a Louise – tease a Louise, she must have been a tease a Louise!” you too are about to become a fan.

Laughs »Linnea Quigley’s Horror Workout

linnea quigley's horror workoutClearly a girl with a sense of humor, Linnea Quigley forged a lengthy career with D grade horror schlock, starring in almost a hundred movies including (the only one I've seen) Silent Night, Deadly Night, Nightmare Sisters, Creepozoids, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Assault of the Party Nerds, Virgin High and more.

Straight out of the tongue in cheek, Elvira inspired age of monsters mixing with humor, the scream queen, sports confusing spiky pony tails, artfully ripped tees tied at the belly, and studded bras and panties. The attempts at laughs are cheesy and I can't imagine anyone benefiting from the languid, off rhythm exercise routines. But personal health was probably not the main objective of this project, as you can clearly see from this clip in which she writhes around on a brown carpet in front of a fireplace, bending in butt raising positions, doing stomach crunches as if she were in the throws of passion and worships her crotch by air petting it.

In another scene she has a bizarre sleep over with grown women that devolves into a long impromptu exercise party headed by a seemingly stoned or very sleepy Linnea. It's got enough crotch and butt shots to send a pre pubescent lover of Fangoria into a state of ecstatic shock and an (almost) synchronized pelvic thrusting bit that could simply destroy that same kid. and not to be crass, but it also features the biggest camel toe I have ever laid eyes on.

The entire video with a probably fairly unbearable sixty minute running time is hard to find, but thanks to fans who've posted bits on youtube you can get a taste of the bad taste, if you like what you see and you probably will if you're a horror movie nerd in the mood for a little masturbation, The Manchester Morgue has a link to download the entire video. It might really be worth checking out as the Bloody Good Horror blog describes the opening credits: “They're all super imposed over her boobs as she soaps them up in the shower”

Laughs »A Commercial From New Vision Health Care

fred commercialI always used to introduce my friend Fred, as “funny” a moniker he didn't quite care for (comedians can be very sensitive). So now you can judge for yourself. He directed this faux commercial recently. Enjoy!

Laughs »Jersey Girl Says What the F

jersey girl says fuckFrom Funny or Die, this little video is about a girl from Jersey girl saying “what the f…” in different situations (waitress forgot her vodka and red bull, when she can't open a starburst, when she's out of hard Mike's, etc). I don't know, I think it's pretty funny.

Laughs »The Bad Disney Movie That is Sarah Palin

Laughs »Breakdancing Baby

baby break dance I'm not sure if I've ever told you this story, but the chances are high. Back in the day of long ago, my sister and I took break dancing lessons. Yes, that's right. And like most activities that require a combination of physical prowess and coordination, I was absolutely terrible, even by little kid standards.

I remember on the last day we all got in a circle to demonstrate our new skills. I opted for the only thing I thought I could do rather well (ask me to demonstrate and I think you'll see that I thought wrong) – that move we professionals call The Arm Wave. Everyone was really polite, though I don't recall any sense of accomplishment.

All I can say is that in some way I am glad this baby wasn't around that day to show me up, but in some ways I wish he was because it would be awesome to see a break dancing baby in person.

Laughs »Cumming Fragrance

alan cumming fragranceMuch to the confusion of the public, a new fragrance hit the scene a few years back called Cumming and the man behind it is probably best known to most Americans for his roles in The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, Josie and the Pussycats and, if he's lucky, X2. Not exactly the standard star power and product name required to launch a new scent, but it (reportedly) smells really good (thanks to the man behind this week's Best Way To Spend a Couple Minutes, Christopher Brosius) and, mainly due to this hilarious ad campaign, it did get people talking.

The line has expanded to include new fragrances with names like Cumming Clean, Cumming Off Buff, Cumming in a Bar and, my personal favorite, Cumming All Over.
