A few years ago, my good friend Dan Shott happened to press “record” during Nick Gas upon seeing a particularly geeky looking kid at the beginning of an episode of “Get The Picture” on Nick Gas. What unfolded was the greatest episode of TV in the history of mankind. This is the most unintentionally funny episode ever, and my roommates and I have made it a tradition to (drunkenly) watch this episode at least once a month. And yes, we have every line memorized and quote along. It’s like Rocky Horror Picture show for drunks.
The Highlights: The kid falling for EVERY trick question (“Australia?” “Meteors?”). Every one of Mike O’Malley’s awkward turns of phrase and jokes that fall flat. And the amazing hand motion the kid does at 15:35, which has been dubbed the: “Fist Pump Down Up Down Double Tap Jerk Off Arsenio Swoop to Rejected High Five”

The Burj Dubai, half a mile tall, is the tallest building in the world. And it just opened officially on Monday with this extravagant fireworks show. Pretty snazzy…you can tell that people from Dubai really know how to blow money even during a recession!

“Idle chit-chat takes a turn for the bizarre when a group of strangers pass the time in a waiting room.” This is an old comedy short from four years ago that I have always thought was pretty awesome….and also creepy as fuck. It’s odd to think that anonymous chat rooms will probably be a strange relic of the past within the next few years.

A look at the high-tech electronic consumer gadgets released in 1983. Cassette players, mini televisions, and robots were the big hits.

This video makes me *cringe*. I can’t believe young kids like this can become this materialistic and at such a young age.

Our buddy Craig Reid from Ithaca College has created a new web-based gameshow called “Win What’s in Craig Reid’s Left Pocket” — a follow up to his Ithaca College TV game show, “IC Match.” The premise is simple: Craig approaches random strangers on the street and plays a simple 4 minute game show, where they get asked only one trivia question or play one simple game. If they win, they get what’s in Craig Reid’s left pocket (usually about $20), if they get it partially right, they get what’s in Craig Reid’s right pocket (a few bucks), and if they fail completely, they walk away with nothing.
Craig’s posted a bunch of episodes on his YouTube Channel. Below is the first one. What I find most entertaining about the show is the charmingly low production values, and the fact that Craig keeps the camera rolling and doesn’t edit out any of the distractions or awkward exchanges that end up happening (which you would expect when all of your contestants are random strangers). Enjoy!

“In the Bronx Zoos Monkey House, squirrel monkeys receive a holiday treat unlike anything theyve seen-or felt-before. Keepers offer them Jell-O with blueberries, a jiggly concoction that immediately stimulates their foraging instincts.” (Thanks, Anna!)

This is what happens when you put you Grandmothers in front of a green screen and tell them to pretend they’re riding a roller coaster.
