For my mind their are two that are really worth a look whenever new material is released – the guys and gals at College Humor and the three geeky lads at Lonely Island.

In recent times these different comedy outfits have stood out with their distinct styles and really good output. The following are in my humble opinion their best efforts so far.

College Humor had a go at ‘modernizing’ the signature song from the musical theatre classic “West Side Story” with their version titled “Web Site Story”. Plain good IT-geekery fun for all… and it doesn’t hurt that the girls are also easy on the eye. For me anyway…

The second all time personal favorite clip, so far, is the Lonely Island clip titled “I’m On A Boat”… which kinda became a massive hit on youtube and featured the always charismatic and ‘unique’ dressed T-Pain providing the errr ummm music cred’.

Now before you are tempted to click the play button with this one – please be advised that this clip has extensive explicit language… I repeat if you are in any shape or form offended by explicit language… swear words then you may seriously want to pass on this clip.

For those with a more robust constitution – and can live with the rabid bleeping, then click-it and kick-it with the T-Pain and the Lonely Island guys as they share their maritime experience.

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.”

Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out.

Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to a “Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the English issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide”. The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France ’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

It’s not only the French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout loudly and excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans also increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbor” and “Lose”.

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Americans meanwhile and as usual are carrying out pre-emptive strikes, on all of their allies, just in case.

And in the southern hemisphere…

New Zealand has also raised its security levels – from “baaa” to “BAAAA!”.
Due to continuing defense cutbacks (the air force being a squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some toy boats in the Prime Minister’s bath), New Zealand only has one more level of escalation, which is “I hope Australia will come and rescue us”.

Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be right, mate”. Three more escalation levels remain: “Crikey!’, “I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend” and “The barbie is cancelled”. So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

….. I’m wondering what alert levels the Voodoonosity would operate from?

It seems other people share this same interest – one even created a website exclusively devoted to the slave outfit called Leia’s Metal Bikini.

It got me to thinking… and so of course I googled it and crikey! The results were… diverse… and perhaps a little perverse…

Check out some of the lesser deeply disturbing star moments in the pantheon of Princess Leia slaveness.

Yeah… okay so one of them isn’t Princess Leia but it does appeal to me. Odd. Very odd. Almost as much as this clip where some artists have engineered a full on pillow fight of a group of girls costumed up… for artistic purposes.

1. male answer syndrome

The tendency, especially among males, to make educated guesses about subjects and present them as fact.

The syndrome manifests itself most frequently when the sufferer is asked a question by a member of the opposite sex.

Female: Do I need to put premium gas in my car?

Male: Absolutely. If you don’t, you will short out your cam injector bearings.

Female: Uh, I think you are suffering from Male Answer Syndrome.

The above definition, pretty much shamelessly cut and paste – can be discovered along with fabulous urban sayings at the Urban Dictionary.

Why is it that on shows like the Grammy’s, some presenters… like Adam Sandler in this case, feel the need to conjure up some dumbass story like… ‘oh I didn’t think this was a formal thing so I just threw some jeans and and a Tee on… and then I uh’ like got here and everyone looked uhh so great so I uhhh haha convinced this dude backstage to uh ha ha give me his clothes in return for me saying out to tv-land “It’s okay Frankie, do your time and when you get out we’ll sort Joey Joe Jackson well good” haha haa haa… so anyways I’d like to present Santana… ha… ha…

Ummm it wasn’t funny.

It was uncomfortably staged. And kinda lame.

Seriously, has this sorta painfully forced gag ever worked? Why Adam Why? Stop it. Now.

Forget Adam Sandler.

Please bring back Billy Crystal for the Oscars… and the Golden Globes… trot him out for the Grammy’s… weddings, partys and anything… that’s right! Billy Crystal should also cameo as a guest front man for that obscure Aussie indie band with that great song “Father’s Day”. Why isn’t this so? Make it so I say.

and on presenting styles. Please explain Quentin Tarantino. Did he really need to  present the way he did? Like a a full implementation nuknuk. And follow up question… the sunglasses… other than the I-AM-A-STAR thing… why?

and the third Grammy question since I am banging on about the Grammy’s – Taylor Swift album of the year?

What the Frackleberries is that all about? It’s an okay album but seriously are you trying to tell me that it was a better effort than the Beyonce ‘put-a-ring-on-it’ spankbanking crediting music clip song or the efforts of the sensational Black Eyed Peas or the awesome effort by Dave Matthew’s Band… tough competition and yet “Fearless” got the gong. Why?

Will.I.Am put out a song last year that was pretty popular called “I Got It From My Mamma”. Catchy Ditty (also the name for a HipHop star in the world of Saturday) supported by a visual dancing feast for the eyes in terms of the music clip… but then I kinda started to actually listen to the lyrics and it all suddenly became very wrong.

Just spoke to Midnight about this and much to my utter surprise (utter being a roadkill Otter) hadn’t heard of it… but then he does plug into Grooveshark all day and then he zones out to his carefully shuffled iPod driving about so I guess it’s possible that most of the current music has passed him by. So this clip is for the educationization of Midnight.

…oh and the picture above… like it. They seem so happy and I suspect most men have thought to themselves… gotta get my hands on some of them… oh… naw maybe not… she looks like a right handful… ha haahaa haha.. boobs heh. Apparently she got them from her mother. In fact… she probably is one as well which kinda makes the whole thing even more deeper than what I initially thought it might be… should sing a song about that. And a clip set on a beach.

oh… and for those fragile desert flowers who may be offended by young women dancing in their nickers… and songs produced by the Black Eyed Peas front man – don’t press the play button and instead keep on surfing on.
