Brilliant. The Bieber one really gets me.

Which also reminds me of the genius of this – Kanye West tweets as songs.

In what appears to be something crossed between Nathan Barley, The Day Today and perhaps The Borrowers, Fox News has installed a series of enormous touch screens in the newsroom. They seem to be iPads but scaled by 50 yet at a lower resolution than an iPad. It just looks ridiculous, and it appears that each screen can show only four tweets at a go.

Just look at them. Madness.

It’s not big, it’s not clever but god damn it’s funny.

Apparently this is from a shopping centre in Naas, County Kildare. Someone must have drawn and elevation or setting out drawing and seen that. Surely?

As with all things funny there’s a tumblr dedicated to it – accidental penis. Snigger.

God bless the internet.

Infectious in the extreme but as with most things, Partridge does it better. Watch and enjoy!

Yes y’all. Quite shocking and ultimately hilarious but you have to wonder if this is a spoof. Unfortunately it looks like it isn’t.

Also don’t miss the second instalment.

A photography client recently asked for a file at higher res to use in a brochure. Sure no problem, just zip it, drag it to my DropBox public folder and then paste the link into an email for them. Then sit back and wait for the email saying thanks.

Except that didn’t happen.

Thanks for the email. I may be getting confused here but the link seems to take me to a guinea pig being interviewed…is it the wrong link?

The cold realisation of my stupidity dawned on me, followed by uncontrollable laughter. They must have thought I was mad as a box of frogs. Here’s the video in case you were wondering.

Or just be honest if you don’t know something because at some point you’re going to get caught out.

Andy > Tony. Serves me right for going to Starbucks I guess.

So simple, yet so good. Love these remakes that people do and especially when they’re the complete opposite of such a dark series like Breaking Bad. Now if only Netflix would hurry up and add the second part of series 5…

In an alternate universe, Breaking Bad aired as a network family drama in 1995. Here’s the intro.

Best not to forget the remake of the Shining as a romantic comedy also.

A quick post with two great videos I found via this post over on It’s Nice That. The first a slightly too good look at fashion films. You know that sickly perfume advert with Audre Tatou and her Leica for Chanel No 5? Kind of like that but also takes a sideways swipe at lady hipsters including the wonderful quote:

Sometimes I think to myself in French.

Too good.

Then referenced from the same post is Adam Buxton once again completing another comedy masterpiece, this time about YouTube music videos. I can’t get enough of Adam’s work right now, the guy is a genius.
