Obviously this is a joke, and thankfully it looks like the real proposed remake is now dead. I learned this (and found the video) on this superbly named Irish film blog.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a very long time.

More great episodes here.

I linked to this video in this post, but it really deserves a post of its own. It’s a very strong contender for ‘the best video I’ve seen on YouTube’; the song is quite good, it’s very funny, and it re-uses recognisable content in an original way. Let’s hope that copyright holders never sink their claws too deeply into YouTube or great stuff like this will get stripped out of mainstream existence.

And no, it’s not really Glenn Danzig singing.

“Never thought i’d say this but… come on arsenal.. If united were playing the nazis with hitler in goal an my ex bird up front i’d be supporting the tashed one an co”

Hilarious Limp Bizkit medley.

This is what YouTube was made for – Scar from The Lion King singing Richard Cheese and Lounge Against The Machine’s cover of ‘Down with the Sickness’ by Disturbed. Awesome.

Written in Greek, Philogelos, or The Laughter Lover, dates to the third or fourth century AD, and contains some 260 jokes which Beard said are “very similar” to the jokes we have today, although peopled with different stereotypes – the “egghead”, or absent-minded professor, is a particular figure of fun, along with the eunuch, and people with hernias or bad breath.

“They’re also poking fun at certain types of foreigners – people from Abdera, a city in Thrace, were very, very stupid, almost as stupid as [they thought] eggheads [were],” said Beard.

An ancient version of Monty Python’s dead parrot sketch sees a man buy a slave, who dies shortly afterwards. When he complains to the seller, he is told: “He didn’t die when I owned him.”

Beard’s favourite joke is a version of the Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman variety, with a barber, a bald man and an absent-minded professor taking a journey together. They have to camp overnight, so decide to take turns watching the luggage. When it’s the barber’s turn, he gets bored, so amuses himself by shaving the head of the professor. When the professor is woken up for his shift, he feels his head, and says “How stupid is that barber? He’s woken up the bald man instead of me.”

I thought it was amusing anyway.

It looks like he’s cutting back on explosion special-effects…

Rofflewaffles.

While I’m pretty sure that this has got to be fake, I still laughed at it quite a lot. Hat-tip to Wheelypops.

This is hilarious; I didn’t know Irish radio could be this good. Hat tip to Colm in my class, who posted this on Facebook.
