Boston PrideI’ve loved Ross Matthews since he first appeared on Jay Leno as a “special correspondent”.  However, today I’m more likely to see him on Chelsea Handler’s evening program on E TV, Chelsea Lately.

Kmart will let you ship your pants

Kmart_LogoKmart has suddenly got cheeky with their YouTube “Ship My Pants” video.

Although it is 100% safe, someone with a great sense of humor noticed how similar “ship my pants” and “shit my pants” sounds – especially when said over and over again.  Take a listen and enjoy.

Pulp Fiction with a Kerry accent

Pulp Fiction with a Kerry AccentNot sure if you’ve seen this video clip, but apparently students in Tralee, Ireland have dubbed scenes from Tarantino’s film Pulp Fiction in a Kerry accent.  I love it when Vince (John Travolta) and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) say “royale with cheese” in the Kerry accent, it is absolutely hilarious.

Game of Thrones

Rob ReinerGame of Thrones Season 3 starts at the end of March and CinestirTV has created a masterful mash up video called “The Princess Bride Promo”.

I’ll admit I’m hooked on this HBO series, and i am looking forward to the third season.  I would also rank Reiner’s fantasy parody,  The Princess Bride as an all time personal favorite movie so I couldn’t resist sharing this when I found it. Enjoy the mash up.

dejan djordjevicOn a related note, a talented friend of mine here in Boston has created his own mash up video of the movies, Mean Girls and Evil Dead.  I love his write up about the video. “When the queen bee’s reign is threatened by the new girl in school, Mia’s (Regina George) plan of attack turns sour when the Burn Book unleashes something far more sinister.”

 Check out Dejan’s mash up video here.
