Sunday funnies

Updated and bumped (H/T: R-Man)












Remembering "Tastes great! Less filling!"




At this stage, it really wouldn't surprise me: "YouTube Removing All Videos That Don't Begin With The Chinese National Anthem".


Lots of useful new words here. For example: BACKPFEIFENGESICHT (GERMAN) - A face badly in need of a fist (H/T: David Thompson). Ahem...




From Powerline's "The Week in Pictures".

I was watching an old Giants game that still had the old commercials.
"I'll take a light." (twangggggg burning arrow sinks into a post ) "Bud light"
Made me laugh it did.
For a while light beer commercials were the most creative.
"I must be in the front row!"

Is that Rodney Dangerfield? Grand master of wife jokes.

Yep, that was Rodney "I don't get no respect" Dangerfield, bruce!

And a classic commercial.

I'm surprised you didn't have the vid of the spider capturing the snake. I'm not sure if he ate it, I didn't watch to the end.

As Dave Barry says, "Guess the continent."

Shoot, meant to say, "that David Thomspon linked at the end of his Friday Ephemera"

A veritable 'who's who' of well known 60's and 70's athletes/TV personalities in that commercial. Including Bob Uecker, arguably the funniest ex-pro athlete of them all. He made numerous appearances on The Tonight Show, and was usually funnier than a lot of the supposed "comedians" Johnny had on the show.

I thought this TWIP was the best. I actually laughed out loud when I saw it. I think it has something to do with growing up on a farm, and some experience with electric fences.

Hilarious! I'll update the post with that photo.

You're right about Bob Uecker. I saw him on Carson one time telling a hilarious story about a run down in a baseball game in which the guy who missed touching the plate ran into the dugout, and the opposing player ran after him with the ball and ran along tagging all the guys sitting there. I don't know if that was true or a tall tale, but the audience was in stitches (so was I).

Yeah, I always figured his baseball stories were "based on a true story"; but he added his own embellishments, to give them his own twisted (and funnier) take on the story.

I just watched a few U-tube videos of his appearances on the Tonight Show. Still funny.
