hurry up and watch this

…because clips from this show never stay on youtube for long and this is pretty wonderful.

Be sure to stick with it until the final trick — it’s nuts.

trick or tre…*facepunch*

Happy Halloween, Trashcan Monster! This year I think I’m going to dress up like the black kid and just instantly react to any movement around me with a punch in the face. Wife reaches for tv remote: boom, facepunch. Co-worker pushes a button on the elevator: ka-powey. Bird flys a little too close: unhesitating Shoryuken to the beak.

I want to make a highlight video of my time at work and get it all edited together with a bangin’ soundtrack. It would probably look a lot like this except instead of magically floating, and spinning, and flying through the air, I’d be making copies, getting coffee, and blowing people’s minds with my sick powerpoint skillz.

go philadelphia!

This grainy clip contains all that is great about Philadelphia: passionate sports fans, boozy swearing, rampaging in the streets, screaming white trash, and drivers who don’t give a f@#&. Seriously, it has everything but the cheesesteaks and Rocky. I love this town and I can’t wait for the World Series!

They might as well just keep the lampposts on Broad Street greased so they don’t have to do it twice when they beat the Yankees.

I once came very close to careening off a country highway because this was happening overhead and I couldn’t keep my eyes on the road.

can i make another “in soviet russia…” joke?

Is that allowed? Do I lean on this old standby a little too much whenever I post something about Russia?

Perhaps I do. I will play this one straight: In Soviet Russia AHHHH MURDER-BUS! RUNNNN!

over the top with mattias schlitte

Yes, this video is 8 minutes long. No, you don’t have to watch it all, but you do have to watch the insanity that is on full display between 1:00 and 1:20.

How is that even possible!?!? That skinny dude has a single gorilla meathook! My theory: he got rooked in one of those cruel ”Monkey’s Paw” type of wish making scams. I first became aware of this strangely unbalanced dude via UniqueDaily.com where they had a picture of him and I said “Fake! Totally shopped!” I never would have believed that such a thing was possible had I not found the video evidence.
