Debbie Downer Does DisneyI’m addicted to You Tube, it’s no secret. Some videos are neat, others stupid, others make me smile, and others even giggle a little. But so far there is only one video that has made me laugh out loud by myself. I haven’t watched SNL in years, but apparently they have a character called “Debbie Downer” who always finds a way to bring up something depressing during conversation. There is a skit of Debbie Downer and her friends at Disney World, eating at a character breakfast, getting ready to hit the parks. And yet even while at the happiest place in the world, Debbie finds a way to down everyone. But not only is it funny, the cast members themselves are cracking up and can’t hold it. Not even Debbie. It’s definitely worth a watch.
President Bush uses Little Richard as translatorWe all know those Geico commercials where a real person is partnered with a famous person to help them tell their story. The Daily Show used one of those commercials just for fun and this is the result:
For Joshy JoshI’m addicted to You Tube and I came across a clip of PUSH having a Kelly Clarkson moment. So I’d like to dedicate it to Josh. My favorite trash can, PUSH, singing one of Kelly’s hits with Josh’s very best personal friend, Buzz.
I will surviveThe Jesus version! [video] I think I’m going to hell for laughing out loud. (Make sure you let it run all the way.)
Starbase dentalUsing that nifty little chat-like thing on the left, Josh has asked me to talk about Starbase Dental. I don’t have any first hand experiences with it (yet) but I do have some reports. Have you seen the movie Trekkies? It’s a movie where they sort of make fun of Star Trek fans. In it they feature a dentist who has turned his office into, well, a Star Trek space adventure. The name of his office? Starbase Dental. And it turns out that it is 5 minutes away from my house! Now, I haven’t had a chance to go there myself yet, but I do plan on it. In fact, maybe I’ll take my camera with me and if they let me, I’ll take some pictures. I was unable to find any pictures of the office anywhere. But when Ron was looking for a local dentist, I suggested Starbase Dental and he thought he’d give it a shot. I had him practice his Spock greeting and all. Apparently they all used to wear Star Trek uniforms and fancy make up, unfortunately they don’t seem to do that anymore, which is disappointing in my opinion. But everything else is like what you’d think it’d be. First, they greet you by saying “welcome aboard Starbase dental”. The cabinets and walls are, for what I hear, Star Trekish. There is Star Trek memorabilia everywhere you look. They only play Star Trek music. There are monitors all over the office showing Star Trek movies. And that’s not all. For example, when they take an x-ray, the machine goes “engage! *beep* *bop*” How could anyone NOT like stuff like that? I mean, if you are gonna have to go to the dentist, why not have fun with it?
Disney World videosI’m obviously obsessed with Disney World. I go there at least once a week (going there tonight for example.) And then I do searches on Disney World. Today I found some cool and unique Disney World videos in YouTube. - Typhoon Lagoon wave - You can’t really appreciate how big they truly are, but take a look at the size of people by the wave when it starts. - Singing bird at the Animal Kingdom. - Disney’s trained squirrels (not really.) - Fantasmic’s grand finale - again, one of those things you just have to see to appreciate. It gives me goose bumps every time. - Someone who filmed himself inside the Tower of Terror ride using a night vision camera. - Song at the Adventurers club - I love it how people have to gesture “milking a cow” when they make the guy spin while holding the cow over his head (makes no sense? watch it.) - Adventurers club edit - Fantastic. Yes, I love this place. The drunker you are, the more fun you have.
La bola de cristalToday I went on a nostalgia trip looking for shows that I used to watch as a kid in the 80s in Spain and I remembered I used to like a show called “La bola de cristal” (the crystal ball) and I remember it having a catchy theme song. So I went on You Tube to see if I could find it. And sure enough, here it is in all of its 80s glory. I also found a video of some guy who used to be a fan of the show when he was kid and decided to, well, dance to the theme song. It’s priceless. Check it out. And while I was at it, I also found some 80s commercials from Spanish TV.
They played my song!Yesterday I wrote about my Inflatable innertube song that I made for Big Brother. They played it! I don’t know if it’ll make it into the TV show but someone caught the video through the live feeds! Watch it! How embarrassing. But at least I had my voice in the Big Brother house and they heard it! The video title incorrectly credits the voice as “Jase” who is a house guest who was previously eliminated and came up with the original “blow-up innertube” song. The next wake up call is supposedly by Allison, the first evicted house guest.
Spoiler free. Plot free: Lady in the WaterI’ve been a big M. Night Shyamalan fan. I love Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs and even The Village. So I was excited to see the teaser trailer for Lady in the water. It seemed interesting and mysterious. I tried my hardest to stay away from any kind of information about the movie because with this movies, it is usually better to go in clueless and be surprised. However, I did manage to skim through some reviews only to be saddened by the negative comments I read. But I couldn’t call myself a fan if I didn’t go see the movie at the theater. So I went tonight. Should you see it? If you like his other movies, definitely! This movie doesn’t have the depth of his other movie. If I had to compare it to one of his other movies, I would say it is like The Village but without the slow parts. It has suspense, a few scares, an interesting if light and simple plot and quite a bit of humor. The audience laughed at the right times and even clapped on a couple occasions when things went right. Don’t expect a movie full of twists and surprises and you won’t be disappointed. This is pretty much a fairy tale, and if you go in knowing this, you won’t feel you wasted your money.
The birds and the beesAm I the only one who just loves the Volkswagen Rabbit commercial? The black and white cars chasing each other, then going inside a tunnel only to come out followed by a bunch of gray cars and the occasional black car with a white strip? All accompanied with a great song about the birds and the bees. They breed like rabbits!
