videos you must see

I just realized I have been neglecting to share with you the three best videos of all time. So, let's make up for lost time and get to watching...

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

I find it hilarious.

But don't stop there...
Make sure to watch part 2 as well.

And then, this...

You're welcome.

Texts from Bennett

The site explains itself:

"These are text messages I exchange with my 17 year old cousin Bennett. He is a white boy that thinks he's a Crip, works at Amoco, has a girlfriend named Mercedes, and is one of the most unintentionally funny and brilliant souls on the planet."

Bennett is apparently unaware of the blog. Although judging from his text messages, I'm not sure he would be literate enough to find it even if he knew about it.

The Sneeze

This guy is weird, but in a really good way. He entertains himself (and us) by eating weird foods, doing odd activities with his children, and making fun of his family members. He hasn't posted anything new in a while, but you can go poke through all his archives.

One of my favorite series of posts by The Sneeze is called "Steve, Don't Eat It" in which he proceeds to eat the most disgusting things he can find in the grocery store. I'm a picky eater and germophobe, so this sets off every alarm bell in my head, but it's still awesome.

 

The Oatmeal

Matthew Inman, aka The Oatmeal, is a funny man. A really, really funny man. And he writes really awesome comics, so you probably want to be reading them.

A good place to start would be the Bobcats.





















Then maybe head over to learn some grammar:

Then just go read the rest of the site. Be prepared to giggle. You might learn something about grammar, animal behavior, and human nature. So you could even consider it an educational activity if you want to rationalize your internet time wastage, which is always a good thing.

Not Always Right

For anyone who works in a job that's even remotely customer service related, this site will make you feel better (or maybe worse) about your life.

It's basically a huge compilation of completely ridiculous customer interactions. I can read about five before it goes from really funny to really depressing, but it's awesome up until that point! :)

Regretsy

So, there's this site called Etsy where people buy and sell handmade stuff. A lot of it is pretty cool. And then there's rest of the stuff...

Lucky for you, some woman has taken on the duty of combing through Etsy to find you the weirdest, creepiest, and worst things available for sale on the site! Saves you hours and hours of time! This wondrous place is called Regretsy, and I suggest you visit there.

One of the common plagues of Etsy is the phenomenon known as "gluing shit to other shit" which people mistakenly believe instantly qualifies something as "art". For example, you could be the proud owner of this combination cake plate / appetizer stand / jewelry stand / make up tray / ugly cup glued to an ugly plate. And it's only $35!

You can view the rest of the post here. A chihuahua gets involved.

Warning: not good for people who dislike profanity, hate ridiculously bad "art", or are easily offended.

Hyperbole and a Half

If anyone has not been introduced to HyperboleAndAHalf.blogspot.com, you need to go visit it right now. It's basically my favorite website ever. This site is awesome. And hilarious. It's hilariously awesome. So go now.

I suggest you start with this post about the dog.

And then maybe this one about the party. 

Then just nose around the rest, and kiss the rest of your day goodbye.

Warning: Do not read during class, at work, or at any other location where snorting and laughter is not approved.
