BP Spills Coffee

Funny of the day
The BP oil spill is a terrible thing, but if we’re talking about spilling coffee, it’s too funny and, of course, at BP’s expense. Credit: UCB Comedy

Nike writes the future – in time for FIFA World Cup 2010

This is a bold statement, but I’m going to go on record and say this is the single greatest ad I have ever seen -- and just in time for FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Special thanks to my friend Ariel for the heads-up. Wow.

We all love those early mornings

Our friends over at yourKloset have put together a great little video (with two ‘average’ looking individuals, if we do say so ourselves) making light of the early morning struggle so many of us face. If I were that dude, I’d have a tough time leaving the bed after waking up with her, too… This short is called a “Fashion Film” and is really well done. Enjoy!

UQAM’s got a feeling!

How is this video from my own backyard and getting over 5-million views, but I just find out about it today??

Google loves sponsoring talent for YouTube videos

I posted recently about the amazing Ninja Unboxing video that Google sponsored. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should! Check this one out, too -- another Google-sponsored video, quite impressive:

What is ChatRoulette good for? Piano improv, of course!

This guy, who many on the ‘net think is Ben Folds, is great. He created his own YouTube channel, so I’m hoping he’ll continue to add great “Chat Improv Videos” -- like this one:

The most impressive proposal? Maybe!

Daniel Wolfe — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 01:05:50 +0000

As taken from Vimeo:

This long exposure, and the making of footage, were shot over three nights in Raleigh, North Carolina as a proposal to Emily Kern.

The words “Emily, will you marry me?” Were spelled out in light writing. The final image is made up of approximately 800 individual 10 second exposures.

Both the Time lapse and video were shot with Canon 7Ds.

My friend, Phil Part II

Daniel Wolfe — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:54:42 +0000

One of our first posts on NorthGeek.com was a short film starring our good friend, Phil Dubrovsky in an elevator. It was funny stuff. This video is a bit different, as it shows our buddy Phil outside, and it’s a TV commercial, not a short film. It’s a great ad! That’s my unbiased opinion.

Stellar performance, Phil. Enjoy:

I have been the victim of a major scam!

Daniel Wolfe — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:33:16 +0000

Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and in dark parking lots, etc. This is the first warning I have seen for men. I wanted to pass it on in case you haven’t heard about it. This will only become more commonplace…

A ‘heads up’ for those men who may be regular Lowe’s, Home Depot, or Costco customers. This one caught me by surprise. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Please, don’t be naive enough to think it couldn’t happen to you or your friends.

How the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking 20-something girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping bags into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say ‘No’ and instead ask you for a ride to McDonald’s. You agree and they get into the back seat.

On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also December 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th & 28th, three times last Monday and very likely again this upcoming weekend. So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of men.

Warn your friends to be vigilant.

P.S. Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for $1.99 at K Mart. Also, you’ll never get to eat at McDonald’s. I’ve already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth to Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Costco.

Hamish & Andy – maybe Australia’s funniest duo?

Daniel Wolfe — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:26:27 +0000

Watch as Hamish and Andy become cab drivers and see who can make the most money. These two guys pretty much fell into this gig as the country’s most popular radio show hosts, and regulars on several TV shows. They’ve even done a tour around the US -- maybe they’ll come North of the Border soon??

UPDATE: I’ve decided to add a bunch of other funny Hamish & Andy videos:
