Just post random funny stuff. I’ll start.

This is epic!

Funny enough, I was just thinking recently we should have a thread like this, as a companion to the music one.
To piggyback off your first post:

Probably the wrestling promo that made me laugh the most.

Probably the wrestling promo that made me laugh the most.
I watched The Undertaker when he was in the NWA as “Mean” Mark Callous. Never saw the Tennessee (I’m guessing USWA since he mentioned Lawler) years with him. When I was watching Survivor Series 1990 as an 11 year old and The Undertaker debuted as the mystery man, I go, “That’s Mean Mark Callous!”
Here’s a wrestling acid trip from my childhood.

Bravest dog ever.

It must have been strange to see Mean Mark now show up as a zombie basically. Were you disappointed that it turned out to be him? I don't think he was one of the top stars in the WCW.
I love seeing those older promos (aside from the F in WWF being censored). I'll take those charismatic wrestlers and goofy gimmicks over supposed in ring generals. It's unfortunate that a lot of them were really into drugs.

Wasn’t disappointed at all. Back then it was so common for guys to jump organizations with different gimmicks. I had no clue The Undertaker gimmick would last so long.
Until Ric Flair joined WWF, which was about a year after The Undertaker, WWF would never acknowledge guys had careers before, including major names like Harley Race and Dusty Rhodes.
So yeah, with The Undertaker, seemed like another transfer and gimmick change. I actually liked him as Mean Mark, I remember The Heart Punch was his finisher.

I have mixed feelings on this video. Part of me thinks, poor cat. The other part of me is how accurate the drumming is.
-
I watched this when it happened and laughed my head off.

Wow, what event was that? Jim Ross noticeably has a higher pitch voice than I'm used to. It's funny that in wrestling you can basically attempt to murder your co-workers and the law will not go after you, it's basically the electric chair. Actually, to me watching wrestling is the funniest thing aside from watching The Three Stooges, even if it's unintentional.

What’s funny about Jim Ross in that video is that he says he’s been in the business more years than he cares to admit. Now 30 years later.......

I remember watching a promo with the Undertaker and Big Show where Taker claims they rode bikes together in the desert and he basically ditched him.

Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon are one of my favorite comedy duos. Just think of Monsoon as the straight man and Heenan as the funny guy. Here is a skit they did.

I’m not really much of a fan of big super hero movies, but as someone who grew up with early SpongeBob, I do have to admit this trailer made me laugh a lot.

I, too, grew up with early SPONGEBOB - literally (I turned 5 the year it debuted). One of my favorite contemporary cartoons growing up, along with ED, EDD N EDDY.

In his prime, Robert Tilton raked in $80 million a year. I can understand why. I must confess, before watching this video, I was a midget using a colostomy bag. Then - miraculously cured.

On YouTube, there’s a common type of video called “Portrayed By SpongeBob”, where people use scenes from SpongeBob to represent certain things. I’ve seen a few of them, and I particularly like this one for The Beatles albums (especially YELLOW SUBMARINE and ABBEY ROAD):
-
Combining The Beatles and Metallica. The Beatles publishing company (not The Beatles themselves) tried to put a stop to these guys but Metallica came to their rescue, fortunately.
“The river runs red with blood of posers.” :D Makes me feel 16 again.

Here’s an interesting crossover. The voice of Popeye singing the Looney Tunes theme song:
Should be noted that this is William Costello, the original voice of Popeye. By this point, he was no longer voicing the character, as he had supposedly become too difficult to work with (Jack Mercer ended up taking over the role and voiced him for most of the remaining cartoons). This is probably why Popeye is spelled as “Pop-Eye” on the record, in order to avoid legal action.

Anyone else watch Todd in the Shadows? He's a music reviewer whose videos are a mix of analysis and humor. He has three distinct ongoing series: Pop Song Reviews, where he reviews current pop hits; One Hit Wonderland, where he delves into the lives and careers of one-hit wonders (and why they stayed as such); and Trainwreckords, where he takes a look at infamous albums that killed or derailed artists' careers.
Just today, was pleasantly surprised to see a new Trainwreckords in my subscription feed:

Ha! Thanks for posting that, I watched the whole thing. By the time ST. ANGER came out, I was already a 15 year Metallica fan. Bought it on the day of release and yeah, it’s their worst album. LULU is a Lou Reed album with Metallica on it and that one I never even bought.
Entertaining video, I think I saw the human side of Hetfield and the band way before this album or the documentary, but maybe I was a hardcore fan club member in the nineties who followed them way closer than the neurotypical Dave Matthews or Creed fan back then. Maybe too close. [pie]
18:30 Kirk was right, and Lars and this video maker is wrong. No guitar solos on this album was completely trendy and in fact, dates this album to the nu metal era. They were following the Limp Bizkits and Linkin Parks of the world, who not coincidentally, opened for them on that tour. Screaming profanities at Fred Durst from the crowd may not have been one of my more dignified moments, but at the time, it was fun.
Give this album a tuned snare drum, edit the lengths of the songs, remix it, re-record some vocal parts, throw in a few guitar solos - somewhere in here lies a good album. Somewhere deep. I listen to this thing maybe once or twice a year and whenever a good riff or idea happens, a few minutes of white noise follows.

This is years ago, keep in mind. When Ralph Nader was running, he was complaining how the Washington newspapers never covered his election. Their response was he had no chance. Nader said, and I paraphrase - Neither do The Washington Nationals and you cover them.

Alex Lifeson’s speech is one of the two great comedic induction speeches for the RNR Hall of Fame. Rick Wakeman of Yes, linked below, is the other.
Ironic in that Rush inducted Yes and Geddy played bass for them that night in place of the late and great Chris Squire. The fact the hall took that long to induct a no brainer induction like Yes after Chris Squire passed is a disgrace. The video below, however, is a riot.

A legit trailer for THE UNCANNY (1977). The more cats they show, the funnier it gets.

One of my "old school" favorites, the great Reverend Slick...

Good old Gwar. He passed away very shortly after that video was made, sadly.

Before political correctness took over wrestling heels. Mean Gene’s reaction is priceless.

Legendary YouTube video, another priceless reaction.

I never watched wrestling growing up, so I'm not as knowledgeable as the rest of you guys, but here's a classic moment I know of thanks to an old Opie & Anthony clip (where I think they also played that Booker-T clip 'dams posted above)...

I watched that on live television as it happened. Classic moment.

Hilariously cheesy video. The guy opening the video is the same guy who played Itchy Kitchy in THE THREE STOOGES GO AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAZE.
“There’s no Hulkamaniacs here!” “It’s not hot.”

I believe that Shockmaster video falls into the category of "Wrestlecrap" for us hardcore fans of the sport. Comparable to when Sting met RoboCop... :laugh:

The Cannibal Corpse song at 4:40 - a few years ago a friend of mine was getting married and she asked me to text her song ideas for her wedding. I texted her that lyric video. You have to have a unique sense of humor to want to hang out with me. [pie]

You don’t have to be a KISS fan to enjoy Ace’s drunken humor meeting Gene’s narcissism.

If you have a weak stomach for gore, don’t click. I’ve been discovering Italian horror and one eventually runs into the films of Lucio Fulci. You want over the top? I’ve yet to show this to a person without some type of extreme reaction,

Gilbert Gottfried on "Hollywood Squares" (1999)
-
I've often wondered -- was that Gottfried's normal voice? I watched some youtube videos where he was being interviewed and he was using that same voice. I just can't imagine that that was his normal voice. I dare someone to post a video of his telling the "Aristocrats" joke!
>:D

>:D
His real voice was naturally mellow and soft-spoken -- there are videos of it online, especially in some sketches from his one season (1980-81) on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. I will admit his telling of "The Aristocrats" was one I was considering posting here (with a NSFW warning, haha). I also was going to post his set at the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget, but I can't find the full video anywhere.
-
I was regularly watching SNL at that time, but I don't recall Gilbert on the show. I don't consider myself a fan of his, but I don't dislike him. I never paid much attention to him and only saw (or heard) him if he happened to be in something I was watching for other reasons. He is funny, though.
I do remember a stand-up routine of his where he talks about the French deciding to sell water to Americans. Very funny, especially since it is factual! When I grew up, there was no such thing as bottled water, believe it or not.
Affleck!

Similar to the Bugs Bunny one, I’ve seen similar animated drum videos of cartoons showing how they’re actually played. That guy in the costume I have also seen - with musical notation of his drum parts! Both cool videos,

I like that cartoon, that's where Bugs Bunny shoots and kills an audience member because they are coughing during his performance. What he did actually play sounds good itself.

"Who put that up is that 200 dollars an hour?" I don't think there'll ever be a greater wrestling interviewer than Mean Gene.

Yup. I remember reading in Leonard Maltin's OF MICE AND MAGIC that the animators actually studied Scott Bradley (who scored the MGM cartoons) at the piano to achieve the correct fingering for the animation.

I've always read that after they broke up in 1956, the next time that they saw or talked to each other was 1976 when Sinatra brought Dean onto the stage during Lewis's telethon. So this is a surprise to me.

More cute than funny, but this is how I’m normally greeted when I enter my apartment’s parking lot. The black one is especially my buddy.

You know what’s crazy? Back then, I was in my late teens when this aired. I thought Miss Elizabeth, while pretty, was also a bit old. Now, that I’m a year older than she was when she died, I look at her and think she’s gorgeous in this video. It boggles the mind how age changes one’s view.
Her, Rude and Perfect would be dead not many years after that footage. Sad.
-
Doug, I think I've always had a thing for older women--or at least--women I thought who aged well & still looked great as they got older. Just a few names off the top of my head, like Ann Margret, Elizabeth Montgomery, Raquel Welch, Sophia Loren, and certainly Miss Elizabeth was in that category as well.
I was also thinking, it seems the number of tragic deaths in the wrestling business has decreased over the years. At least, I can't remember any recent ones, except for Scott Hall. Although, some might say Scott living to be 63 years of age was pretty good, given how many wrestlers died earlier than that....

About 15 years ago I sat through this film on TCM just to catch the Stooges scene. I found the film to be a bore.

Thanks. So the perception that they were mad at each other all that time was hooey, then. I guess Lewis didn't predict youtube, nor did he think anyone would remember these TV shows that were probably aired only once.
It's articles like this that formed that perception for me:
But there they were, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, re-united, embracing, and joking onstage for the first time in 20 years, like it was old times.

So Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis might have been kayfabing the whole thing.

Shades of Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler the wrestler.
I doubt Martin and Lewis remained best friends, but this evidence certainly shows that it wasn't as bad as the public thought -- at least not at the beginning. And these clips certainly weren't private -- which is in itself interesting.
I last watched a handful of Martin and Lewis movies when I was about 7 or 8. Since then, I've never tuned into one for more than a few minutes. There are a handful of Lewis movies from the early 60s that I liked the last time I saw them, but that's it. I've always enjoyed his self-aggrandizing interviews over the years -- unintentionally funny.
His career artistically and popularity wise was pretty much kaput within a decade after the break-up. He somehow managed to remain in the public eye and still get work, however.
-
TV performances aside, I never could get 100% on board with the Martin and Lewis train, but as a challenge, I may review one of their films in the coming months. Let’s see how it goes.

I would consider "Artists and Models" (1955), since it was directed by the imaginative Frank Tashlin. Unlike their final film, Tashlin's "Hollywood or Bust" (1956), the acrimony between Dean and Jerry hadn't fully spilled out into the open.

I could watch it for $3.99 on Amazon Prime, but I have a DVD set with 8 of their films - some of which I haven’t watched yet. “Artists and Models” isn’t one of them. “At War with the Army” is public domain and is a contender because anyone on here can watch it, but I may also decide for something on my set. We’ll see. There’ll probably be a Martin and Lewis film when I announce my next three.

ARTISTS AND MODELS has been on my "to watch" list for ages but I still haven't seen it.
Rather than a Martin-Lewis, may I suggest THE BELLBOY, which is an early Lewis solo effort. It is probably his best film -- better than the over-rated THE NUTTY PROFESSOR. At 72 minutes, it pays homage to the great silent comedies.

Drunken Larry Fine at Woodstock By Billy West
I first heard this bit on Opie & Anthony (XM) about 15 years ago, when they had Jackie Martling (who wrote the bit with Billy) in the studio. It originated on Howard Stern's show in the 90's (I think).
