I love The Soup. It's so low-budget and cheesy, but so hilarious.

I think I missed my calling as a WWII-era propagandist. It's probably the last time that making things rhyme counted as service to your country.
This reminded me of some contest Valve did for TF2. It involved creating pro-blue or pro-red propaganda posters like that. (link only shows the 3 top winners; can't currently be bothered to find one with more entries if it exists)
The Soup, every time.
I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but +1. The Soup is, I think, the only show I have seen on television that I enjoyed (that is still currently making new episodes and such).

That may change when Adventure Time becomes a regular series, but we shall see.

The neat thing is I starting watching it when it was called Talk Soup with Greg Kinnear back in the early 90s and it was hysterical even then. I only rediscovered it in the last couple years.

The fact that at 8:30pm tonight, for an hour, there are actually people that will turn off everything in their house and think they're helping the environment. Fun fact: The power plants don't stop generating power for that hour. Turning everything back on at 9:30pm will, in fact, cause a power surge, using more power, and in some places even force backup generators to start up to meet the sudden higher demand thus using more energy than if everyone had just used energy as normal.

Stupid fracking hippies.

It's not necessarily about making a difference to the environment, it's about awareness, about the experience. It's interesting to see what life is like without electricity for an hour. It's solidarity with those who don't have power and a recognition of our dependence on it.

Which is good! Sounds great to me. But there are many who confuse this as a bid for the environment... and those are the people that make me laugh. :)

What makes me laugh is when teacher's forget their lesson because students take over the class. Today, in english, we were supposed to do some more analysis on our book, but we spent the class listening to a debate between two students arguing about Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. It was hilarious! We went from Hannah Montana to Nick Jonas to 1984 to Selena Gomez to Margaret Atwood to countless other random subjects.

I don't know what level you're at but that angers me for anything below the collegiate level. One of the very first things I was taught to deal with as a new teacher was to cut tangents off right away and for good reason; with over a year's worth of material to cover in time for the stupid state testing (not much we could do about that problem) and kids who were not at their grade level in a lot of ways to begin with, there was no time to lose. Sure, have some fun talks with them before or after class, care about the kids during class, try to make the subject matter fun, but for crying out loud, don't give in to their attempts to not learn. Maybe I was a bitch but any student who tried derailing one of my classes with that sort of thing would get a "Feel free to come talk to me about it during lunch" the first time and a death stare the second time. There was hardly ever a third attempt from anyone and the ones who did try were bigger issues in other ways.

Perhaps my level of anger is irrational...but that does not make me laugh. It screams of unprofessionalism (says me, oh irony, you never go away).

I LOVE the Soup. I've been watching every Friday for at least 2 years now.

(My mom and I also play a game during the week trying to guess which clips of shows like Idol will make it on the Soup.)

An ancient civilzation encased something in an enormous metal box made of 1inch thick lead, weighing a half ton and buried it deep in the ground.

We found it, and we're gonna open it.

*facepalm*

What's funny? I want to know what's inside. It could be an alien corpse!

or dracula

or pandora's box.

or the ten plagues.

or the monolith from 2001. :D

I think it's funny to speculate on what horrible thing could be in there--2012 is nigh!

Sadly the reality is that it's probably just a gladiator.

Or it's full of radiation like that episode of Star Trek TNG where Data loses his memory on another planet.

I love when people can relate real life events to episodes of sci-fi tv shows. :D

That was a good episode. I like Data episodes. Almost as much as Worf episodes.

Does that basically mean alluding to any TV shows? I'm not sure about sci-fi, but I do it a lot. So funny.

That my mother has discovered she can send my ims when I'm at work (since she can't text links) and I will get them later. Today, I come home to find links to companies in the newspaper with the note I should work at one of them---and the main reason she adds is because the managing partner is cute. LOL

Something that makes me laugh: So I have three BFFs. One is the super crazy, all out, make up the stupidly awesome ideas that end us all in trouble. I'm so used to being the smart, level-headed one. I'm also so used to saying her name in that annoyed, amused, scolding voice while reprimanding her, that I sometimes end up using her name instead of the right person's, while reprimanding other people.

Me too, Jeesh! My sister is usually the one annoying me constantly, so whenever someone bugs me I accidently shout "Hannah, STOP!"

Just thought I add on. :)

The beaners from around this way use "jajaja!!" in place of "hahaha!!"

It took me longer than I care to admit to figure out this was what was happening. My first instinct was to assume they were doing some weird Russian/European thing, which made no sense.

I'd like to add that's an acceptable way to raise a 16 y.o. girl.
"jajaja!!" in place of "hahaha!!"
In the heroic times of the internet, we used to say "juas juas" instead of "jajaja" XD. I still do. :wink:

I laughed out loud for real.

The firefox spellchecker does not recognise the word "Apatosauruses." The listed alternatives:

- Brontosauruses
- Stegosauruses
- Tyrannosauruses
- Thesauruses

#1. It accepts "brontosaurus" instead of "apatosaurus," as every six-year-old child knows should be right but isn't.
#2. Thesauruses.

I accidentally had sex with my boyfriend's twin last night...and he didn't stop me.

You NEED to get fingered by a violinist. He used his left hand and make me cum, he's RIGHT handed.

Friends of ours recently got a new kitten. Today they showed me the video of "La Tigra" and their 22-month-old son getting acquainted:

"Little man, the way girls are" is about a little boy who writes a paper (school assignment, open topic) on how to treat women.

Uncomfortable laughing is still laughing...


Coworkers, while looking at celebrities who have come out of the closet:

"You have to go for the ugly men, all the good looking ones are gay."

"Isn't he too old to be gay?"

"It's a choice but you have to respect their choice."

"That Lady Gaga, is that a man being a woman?"

I saw a youtube comment that for once actually resembled a thought of my own. Something like "hey, what's that ball button do--OH GOD MAKE IT STOP"
