Key & Peele Nail Aerobic Vid Spoof

I can't let August pass without a post.

First of all, is aerobics still a thing?

In any case, this video from the 1988 USA National Aerobic Championship is utterly ridiculous.
It's so 80s it hurts. The music, the attire, the hairstyles, the TV presentation, the constant smiles.





Yap. Cocaine's one hell of a drug!


And here's Key & Peele's take on the subject.
Brilliant. Just brilliant.





Now I can't get that music out my head! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Every Commercial Flight Ever

Hilarious video (trust me!) by Indian comedy group AIB (All India Bakchod).

I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply just to Indian flights.


Remember to click CC for captions!

The air stewardess is simply a joy to watch.

In Honor of Black History Month

I would have written in honour, but this is a US-related subject so I'll allow it.

February is Black History Month in the US.

I personally like the view of Morgan Freeman who said: "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history."

In any case, here's SNL's take on the subject.

That Mitchell and Webb Look - Reality Shows

I've been meaning to post these for a while.


Changing Meals





The Gift Shop Sketch





This bit by Charlie Brooker about clever editing is also worth a look.

Movies vs Real Life

Knowledge of French not required.

It always feels good to post something non-English.

Shaun Micallef's Crazy Gravity Antics

Shaun Micallef is an Australian comedian whose signature works are probably these crazy gravity sketches.

They're from the "Micallef Program" which aired on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) from 1998 to 2001.

Also, as a result, 480p quality at best.


Home from Work





The Wine Cellar





But how is it done?

The following videos explain.









Tilted room for the win!

Animals. Talking.

Here's another one I can't believe I haven't posted before.

A hilarious clip from the BBC series "Walk on the Wild Side", where animals are voiced-over resulting in some truly funny sketches.




I can't believe they missed the opportunity to name it "Talk on the Wild Side".

Football, Football, And Even More Football

From the British comedy series "That Mitchell and Webb Look".



Truth is, here in Europe, football practically never stops (see Champions League and Europa League qualifying rounds during the summer).

Which is fine by me.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Driving

Canadian comedian Will Sasso does a pretty good Arnold Schwarzenegger.



If it had some "Get Down!!!" and "Get to the Choppa!!!" it would have been perfect.
Still hilarious though.

By the way, this KappaD's 400th post!
Yay and hooray!

American Employee Caught Outsourcing His Job To China

According to the article at thenextweb.com:

A developer at a US-based critical infrastructure company, referred to as "Bob", was caught last year outsourcing his work to China, paying someone else less than one fifth of his six-figure salary to do his job. As a result, Bob had a lot of time on his hands; in fact, during the investigation, his browsing history revealed this was his typical work day:
 
  • 9:00 a.m. – Arrive and surf Reddit for a couple of hours. Watch cat videos.
  • 11:30 a.m. – Take lunch.
  • 1:00 p.m. – Ebay time.
  • 2:00 – ish p.m Facebook updates – LinkedIn.
  • 4:30 p.m. – End of day update e-mail to management.
  • 5:00 p.m. – Go home.

And the question is, what was he doing wasting his time on LinkedIn?
He had a six-figure salary at a job where he did almost nothing else all day, but surf the internet.
Was he seriously looking for something better than that?!

In any case, instead of cat videos, the guy should have watched a few of the Onion News Network videos. It would have been time well spent and that is because here we have a case of life imitating... internet comedy.

As you'll see below, the Onion News Network had "reported" on a similar a situation nearly four years ago.

"Who's on First?"

Jimmy Fallon along with Billy Crystal and Jerry Seinfeld re-enact Abbott and Costello's classic comedy sketch "Who's on First?".

The other two guys are "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" head writer A.D. Miles (What) and the announcer of the same show Steve Higgins (Costello Part).



The applause for Jerry Seinfeld lasted a bit longer than it should have and ruined the momentum a little bit, but still the sketch was quite well done.

And here's the original from 1945 (although it was first performed as a routine in 1938).
