Los Simpson: Your daily dose of Aye Carumba WTFMexico [I Heart TV]

Perhaps we need a WTFMexico category… time will tell. In this short clip from some Mexican daytime show, the Simpsons are re-done as real-life characters with severely creepy effect. I don’t speak a word of Spanish which somehow makes the whole thing scarier– like how do I know they’re not saying “Let’s jump out of […]

Do not microwave an ostrich egg if you like having fingers [The More You Know]

In this video from the British show, Braniac, we learn why microwaving an ostrich egg is a really bad idea. The giant eggs build up so much pressure under their thick shells when microwaved that what you essentially get is a gigantic egg bomb that will reduce your microwave to shrapnel. Awesome.

In this fine little music video, Miss Piggy sings the electroclash one hit dance wonder “Fuck the Pain Away” by Peaches. Because you weren’t doing anything with those innocent childhood memories anyway were you? (NSFW audio)

Muslim scientists proves that Mecca is the center of life on Earth [Stupid]

Here we have a Muslim scientist (not sure what nationality, maybe Saudi?) using the “science” gathered by America’s trips into space to talk about how Mecca emits some sort of life-giving radiation that extends into infinity out into space. Rofls.

They call him “Cunt Smasher” [I Heart Kink]

This has to be the most bizarre (yet Safe For Work) video of a male stripper I’ve ever seen– there’s big 80s hair, leather wear covered in giant steel spikes and he dances seductively with a pair of sai. And his name is the Cunt Smasher, did I mention that? I only mention […]

Mr. Rogers had a dirty god damn mouth [I Heart TV]

From Jimmy Kimmel’s Unnecessary Censorship, here’s Mr. Rogers as you may not have remembered him– as a foul mouthed bastard. How dare he say that sort of shit around kids. The fucking nerve.

Clinton, Obama and McCain on WWE RAW prove just how unhip they are [Politics Suck]

Yes, even Obama can be un-hip at times. On tonight’s WWE RAW, each of the three remaining presidential candidates will get a few seconds to appeal to the beer swilling retard vote. And as you can see from the following spoiler vid, all three of them swing and miss horribly in terms of coming off as “with it”.

In 1990, the Galaxy network in the UK commissioned a sitcom, written by Geoff Atkinson called Heil Honey, I’m Home, which claimed to be a “lost” sitcom from the 1950’s.

Top Gear destroys a garden for charity [I Heart TV]

For the Sport Relief charity telethon, the guys from Top Gear decide to try their hand at gardening and landscaping instead of driving and destroying cars. And the result is brilliant and side-splitting hilarious. Granted, there are some parts that are so ridiculous they have to be scripted, but it doesn’t make them any less funny.
