Daniel Tosh is funny. I like his comedy, it’s good stuff. His show Tosh.0, which aggregates some of the greatest web video clips each week and presents them to the world via a crazy 30 minute show on Comedy Central, is pure gold.
“Web Redemption”, where people who’ve made fools of themselves on the web via video (that more than likely others posted for them) get to go on the show and re-do their video, hopefully in their favor. Crystal Light Dancers, Average Homeboy, football player who tackles his own teammate. Truly awesome.
Last night, Mr. Tosh closed his show thanking the kind folks at Apple for giving him an iPad to try out. He then proceeded to do this, which is again, awesome.
The best part about that clip, that you don’t see because it closed out the last few seconds of the show, is when Tosh says “We never even turned it on.”
While it may be a bummer that there are no Sam Jackson quotes from classic movies like Snakes on a Plane, Deep Blue Sea, or Lakeview Terrace on here, you do get 100% original Samuel L. Jackson quotes, apparently recorded just for the app by Sam himself.
That’s why you should get the Samuel L. Jackson app for your phone, iSamJackson.
The developers of the app have made it easy to get your Sam quotes in 2 ways, either clean and expletive-free for the under 17 crowd apparently, and then of course, well, with expletives. That’s a good move, because the world needs these quotes no matter what their age.
Samuel L. Jackson may be one of the finest actors of our time, with a resumé that goes beyond that of many other actors. I doubt George Clooney would’ve signed on to or even been able to carry Snakes on a Plane the way Sam did. Plain and simple, Samuel L. Jackson movies make you and your TV/DVD player feel good. Now they can make you and your iphone/ipod feel good.
So, you should probably buy it or Samuel L. Jackson might just call you leaving quotes from his movies on your voicemail everyday until you do.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and speak for the collective tv viewers across the land and say that we all know Conan O’Brien is:
1.) The man.
2.) Funnier than anyone else in late-night right now (and has been for a good long time).
3.) Deserving of his own TV station showing all Conan, all the time.
From Facebook groups, to Twitter posts, to the “I’m with COCO” shirt, support appears to be coming from everywhere. However you show that “You’re with COCO” is of course classy, so if all of us want to keep late-night tv funny I’d recommend showing COCO some well deserved love and support.
“I was thinking of getting a couch or something for my room, somewhere for guests to lounge around. F*ck new couches. I now have a ball pit in my room.” – xkcd
xkcd’s Randall gets a little fun and poignant, gleefully describing the process of creating a real-live ballpit in his home. Impractical? Childish? That depends entirely on your definition of those things, and what ‘being an adult’ means to you. In my opinion, he’s absolutely right; who’s to say that doing things we loved to do as kids isn’t what we should be doing now as adults? If a ball pit is what you want, and you can make it happen, why not? Enjoy it.
Many already know Method (a household cleaning supply company, specializing in natural, non-toxic, biodegradable products), due in part to their cool, minimalist-minded packaging that uniquely helps it stand out on shelf. Some may just know the company from walking through the cleaning products aisle at Target and catching a glimpse. Either way, it’s a product that is already very respectable and cool in my eyes, that I’ve been using in my home for a few years, and it just got even better. Why? Well, they are supporting initiatives called the “Household Products Labeling Acts” that would basically require household cleaner manufactures to list the ingredients in their products. This is good, because I’ve often found myself compelled to read the back of the various bottles of product in this category and never once can I say I remember ever seeing what the heck was in the stuff I’m spraying on my bathroom counter or in my shower. This kind of makes me think there is a general philosophy of ‘See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” going on. I don’t like this, no sir I don’t.
So, this witty little video from Method struck a chord with me. It’s funny, it makes me think and it most importantly makes me question the safety of what I’m putting in my home and how it might effect me. All this of course, leads up to validating why I buy Method products. If Method markets this video in the right way, I’m sure many others, users and non-users may have the same feelings. Will it help get consumers to support the act and inevitably increase their favorability towards Method and yield sales? We’ll have to see.
One thing is for sure though, these chemical residue bubbles are funny….. but they are also perverts.
I’m not too proud to admit that any topic that allows me to have a file named “facebutt.jpg” on my desktop is motivation enough to write, but as someone who has also gotten threatening “your name is too close to mine” calls (I’m looking at you, Michael Flatley) this story is even closer to my heart.
Apparently, sick of paying $179 for North Face jackets, 18-year-old Jimmy Winkelmann decided to take matters into his own hands and started up The South Butt clothing line which, let’s face it, is hilarious.
The North Face, however, doesn’t seem to see the humor and is suing the college freshman for copyright infringement. Putting aside for a minute the fact that shoddy videos like this could hardly pose a threat to a comparatively giant company with severalsnazzy AORs, is it really worth the bad press to squash it? In my case, discovering The South Butt reminded me that The North Face even still existed, so that’s all good for them, right? But I am not of their outdoorsy demographic, so maybe that’s moot.
Winkelmann’s attorney, meanwhile, wins the trophy for Best Legal Statement Ever, defending the teen by arguing that “There appears to be little recognition, if any, that the savvy of consumers precludes anyone from confusing a face with a butt.”
