Last week I posted the Dove Real Beauty Sketches online ad campaign. Someone has published an hilarious spoof of the original video called Dove Real Beauty: #Balls. This is absolutely hilarious and worth watching.
If you’ve not seen the original video from Dove, click the link above to quickly watch it then check out the video below – it is excellent comic relief.
Last week I posted a clip from this YouTube group, and I recently stumbled upon this older clip which is also funny. Apologies in advance to any Canadians who may watch this, but your nation’s reputation for being polite is renown and this quick video does a great job of poking fun at your good manners.
Those melodious comedians Garfunkel and Oates are back at it again using music and humor to poke fun at young women’s flirtations with bisexuality in their song, “The College Try”.
Note: strong language and not safe to play at work.
I’m often dismayed by advertising campaigns for their lack of creativity and / or the negative stereotypes perpetuated in the name of profit. So I was more than pleasantly surprised by Dove’s latest campaign that has started to go viral, called Real Beauty Sketches. The video below shows how women view their own beauty in contrast to what others see. Its a great lesson and a touching commercial.
Check out this hilarious video. I’m at complete loss for words, but this is absolutely hilarious and worth the watch. It is 100% safe for work provided a handsome bare chested man singing / talking with a German accent is not offensive to you and those around you.
Believe it or not, I think this may actually be a real product.
I think my favorite is when he imitates a Tyrannosaurus Rex eats its food. This is hilarious. Much thanks to America Blog for posting this and bringing it to my attention. Perhaps tonight you’d like to eat your dinner the way your favorite animal eats – then again maybe not.
How is it that I missed this video til now?
I don’t want to gloss over the terrible tragedies from this year’s Patriot’s Day / Marathon, but now that the suspects have been identified, killed and captured, there is a sense of relief that is hard to articulate. Those emotions are quickly turning into expressions of pride and love of our city. You see it on Twitter and Facebook with people encouraging others to go out and support local businesses and with people talking about their plans to train and run in the 2014 Boston Marathon.
Looking back on the past week, I couldn’t be more proud of those who tended to the injured, those who stood up to protect and defend our community and yes, even our elected officials. Governor Deval Patrick showed a leadership sorely lacking in government today and Mayor Tom Menino, showed the grit he’s made of and how much he loves this city not letting his own injuries slow him down.
In the weeks that follow I hope we can focus on what this city did right and be proud of how we conducted ourselves while the world was watching our every move. Like this song says, come to Boston. It’s a great city to call home.
I won’t lie, Olympic Gold Medalist Ryan Lochte is very easy on the eyes, but it seems that he never seems to come off as particularly intelligent. This video clip from earlier this week has Fox News anchors laughing hysterically after doing a satellite interview about Ryan Lochte’s forthcoming reality show. It is worth the watch.
I love it when the female news anchor snorts and says “No more! Otherwise my eyelashes will fall off.”
Check out the video below and enjoy.
Earlier this month 19,000 barrels were spilled in what the residents are calling the “worst spill in Arkansas history.” Exxon, disputes the amount and has been working hard to intimidate media and limit coverage of this oil spill that has devastated a suburban neighborhood outside of Little Rock, AR. Check out this humorous video called Exxon – Energy Everywhere. I think it will give you a good chuckle.
Something to think about if you hear Republicans insist that the Keystone Pipeline is safe and would never pose a threat to the communities it would run through.
Boston buskers: Rhett Price and Josh Knowles
Two former Berkelee College of Music students, Rhett Price and Josh Knowles, have made a full time job out of playing contemporary music on their violins for MBTA riders. Making a living as a full time busker can be tough, but these guys are clearly talented and I wish them continued success. Should you see these guys playing, please be generous and drop a few dollars in their violin case. You can read more about these guys in Steve Annear’s article, MBTA Performers Make a Living Playing Taylor Swift Songs on Violins for Riders.
You can also follow these guys on Facebook here.
In honor of the ABBA tribute band, The Concert, playing in Boston this Sunday and because Sherry Vine is hilarious, I couldn’t help but share her latest video, GRINDR Queen. As you’d expect, Ms. Sherry Vine’s lyrics aren’t appropriate to listen to at work or around kids, but it doesn’t take away from her humor.
This hilarious video is dedicated to my brother, Timothy, but I have a feeling many of you will probably relate. Just a quick heads up that this probably is not appropriate to watch if around children or at your office.
Do you enjoy yoga? I’ve taken a class or two in my day but never really got into it the way many of my friends have.
I’m not quite sure if I would be able to hold my pose – let alone my composure – if the person next to me found themselves letting one rip as they moved into downward dog. Anyway, if you happen to take yoga classes you may want to check out this helpful video.
Thanks to David over at WGB for posting this video on his FB page this weekend. I believe I’ve posted this video before but I love it (and Michael Buble) so I’m using this as an excuse to repost.
