Cuteness Pet Community


Funny Site of the Day -- In my notes, I had this place listed as Cute as Hell, but it turns out I was transported to Cuteness.com. That's a more accurate discription for what goes on here. I've seen the brochure for Hell and it ain't this cute.

Cuteness is a pet community inviting readers to share stories and photographs of their cutiepoo critters, plus tussle in Cutewars and lounge at the Dogpark. I go for the pictures and, if I'm a good boy -- Good Boy! -- a walk.

Beyonce Music Video Parody: 'Wrinkled Ladies'

Funny Site of the Day -- Seen on YouTube: "Anita Renfroe feels that Beyonce may have left out a category of women who need some recognition and sends out this parody to women of a certain age who aren't afraid to shake it like a Polaroid pick-cha."

Sh*t My Dad Says

Funny Site of the Day -- Twitter writer Justin says "I'm 29. I live with my 74-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down sh*t that he says."

Yep, and it is, as his dad might say, accompanied by a string of expletives, a doozy. Hold on to something because these quotations are explicit -- and so popular there's a book in print and a TV comedy series in the works.

A Twitter membership is not necessary to see this sh*t.

Charles M. Schulz Museum

Funny Site of the Day -- I've been tracking the Charles M. Schulz Museum on Facebook for awhile. It's a joy to receive frequent posts of the organization's "Peanuts" activities and exhibitions in Santa Rosa, CA, but there are numerous trivia, memorabilia, and news items shared on related topics. The big kick is the ongoing stream of selected comic strips from 50 years of "Peanuts," keeping the gang alive and providing Snoopy with many more suppertimes.

A Facebook account is not necessary to access, read, and enjoy.

Cracked.com

Funny Site of the Day -- This is not your writer's "Cracked" (and I'm not your grandfather, by the way). Decades ago, the newstand monthly was a pale copycat of "MAD" magazine, the humor publication geared to adolescents.

Today, Cracked.com has grown-up just a bit to include much more sexual and profane material. Think of it as college humor and dive-in to a big resource of online comedy. Articles, Videos, Columnists, a Forum, and -- golly! -- Craptions are the order of the day.

Adam West

Funny Site of the Day -- Television's Batman of the 1960s has become almost as iconic being himself, Adam West, during the intervening 45 years. Pegged with the pesky Caped Crusader typecasting, the actor pushed forward and crafted an amusing public persona featuring tongue-in-cheek humor, epitomized by his regular appearances on "Family Guy" in the role of Mayor Adam West.

At the official West site, see vintage photographs of his career and news of activities. The big fun is the collection of online videos featuring comic appearances on such programs as "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" and "Lookwell." Plus, there's the "Batman Garage Sale!"

'Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld'

Funny Site of the Day -- My first reaction to TV's "Red Eye," having clicked into it late, late, early, early one morning was, "What the--? How in the world did this show get on the air?"

Soon, I was hooked and finding reasons to stay out of bed until three o'clock rolled around for the nightly panel of celebrities and pundits, party chatting on current events and pop culture. All involved are commissioned with the solitary task of making each other laugh. Voices from across the political spectrum join host Greg Gutfeld for outrageous stories, audacious insults, sexual innuendo goodness, and improbably precious animal footage.

The Bible of Unspeakable TruthsSurprising cable outlet, the Fox News Channel, presents the program. A multitude of video highlights clips are posted and updated regularly at the official online home, or you may skip over to Hulu to view complete recent episodes.

If you can't lurk in the dark until near dawn to catch the series over the air, set your DVR to record the infectious festivities. They hold up well to lunch, part of my daily nutrition.

Shaun the Sheep

Funny Site of the Day -- Aardman Animations, the excellent stop-motion cartoon makers and business partners of superstars Wallace and Gromit, has another fine, lighthearted series underway for television. Meet Shaun and his homies, invites Aardman:

Shaun is a sheep who doesn’t follow the flock – in fact, he leads them into all sort of scrapes and scraps, turning peace in the valley into mayhem in the meadow. Shaun and his pals run rings around their poor sheepdog Bitzer, as he tries to stop the Farmer finding out what’s going on behind his back. The show also introduces a farmyard-full of new characters, including the Naughty Pigs, Timmy the baby lamb and the enormous Shirley, a sheep who eats anything and everything.

At the official Shaun the Sheep site, there's sheer fun found in the numerous video clips. Grab some goodies like email cards and desktop wallpapers. Plus, there is a farm full of related games and activities, including Home Sheep Home, Hide 'N Sheep, Woolly Jumper, Shaun Sudoku, Yogurt Mayhem, Spot the Difference, and Shaun's Bleat Box.

Steve Martin in 'The Absent-Minded Waiter'

Funny Site of the Day -- In 1977, during the phenomenal popularity of the stand-up comedy by Steve Martin, the performer took time from his gushing stardom to write and headline in this 7-minute short subject about a totally mental food server. The project received little distribution from Paramount Pictures, but it eventually became Steve's secret weapon concert warm-up, shown before he took the stage.

Prominent actors Buck Henry and Teri Garr add comic heft as the bumbler's diners.

I know you "are expecting a professional waiter. So, here we go...."

But only in the sense of ultra hipness, not in the case of fluffy felines. I meant no harm.

Betty White on 'Saturday Night Live': Every Single Sketch


Update: Full "Saturday Night Live" Episode with Betty White Episode (minus musical guest) via NBC.com


Funny Site of the Day -- My recollection is Betty White was my earliest TV sweetie. I'm talking age 4 or 5, me, not Betty.

Her wildly popular resurgence of the moment is a particular delight. I'm talking age 88 1/2, Betty, not me.

Her long awaited debut on "Saturday Night Live" has finally occurred. I'm talking 35 years, "SNL," not Betty, not me.

Mashable, The Social Media Guide, has done us all a fine service by tracking down video clips and extras related to her episode.
"NBC and Hulu have both posted videos from the various sketches that ran during the show, plus some backstage peeks, promos, and web-exclusive sketches from the dress rehearsal. We’ve gathered all the videos we could find and brought them into one place for you to enjoy.

The episode was hosted by White, but it also played host to numerous female luminaries from "Saturday Night Live’s" past, including Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler, and more. You’ll see them reprise classic roles in several of the videos below. Note that these NBC and Hulu-hosted videos are only viewable in the United States."
Watch while you can because the video clips may be available for a limited time only.

'A Small Announcement - as Told Through Science Fiction'

Funny Site of the Day -- When it rains, it pours. We've featured several "Star Wars" items this week, so how about one more before moving along?

Found on YouTube:

Jennifer and Jeff have something they wanted to share with everyone ... and because analogies make things easier and Jeff is an admitted Star Wars dork ... we thought this might be appropriate ... Thanks!

Psssst ... There's going to be a "Star Wars" baby or two!

No Pants Day!

Funny Site of the Day -- The first Friday in May is always No Pants Day. How time flies when you don't have a fly.

#1 Frequently Asked Question:

"What in the world is No Pants Day?
No Pants Day is a day where everyone, be they students, respectable businessmen, or cherished community leaders, leave their pants behind. Usually this means wearing thick, appropriately modest boxer shorts, but bloomers, slips, briefs, and boxer-briefs all work as well."

More details on this hallowed event -- say, is there a draft in here? Oh, my bad. I'm not wearing pants. So, what else is new? -- Anyway, there are more details on this updrafting event at the official Website, plus photos of actual people without actual pants.

"The Fastest and Funniest LEGO 'Star Wars' Story Ever Told"

Funny Site of the Day -- Most people would probably agree the original "Star Wars" trilogy is an amazing spectacle, but most of them probably haven't seen the same tale told in two minutes and LEGOs!

That's incredible!

There, I Fixed It

Funny Site of the Day -- Some days, these funny sites we feature come from surprising places. There, I Fixed It was referenced during Jay Leno's "Headlines" segment on TV's "The Tonight Show." So, it seemed reasonable to check out the pages for more photo evidence of "epic kludges and jury rigs."

Wacky workarounds are displayed in the ongoing galleries of do-it-yourself topics, including unsafe, tax dollars at work, tied together, bathroom, bad idea, electrical hazard, Frankenstein, and the ever-popular: duct tape.

'Cupcake Cannon'

Funny Site of the Day -- Here's a bunch of highly technical and confusing data concerning the making of this video, found on YouTube:

"The Johnny Cupcakes Suitcase Tour stop at Kamp Grizzly was epic. Johnny brought a great crowd, his limited edition tour gear and the inspiration for Kamp's Cupcake Cannon. Portland's Kamp Grizzly developed a steam-punk style pneumatic cupcake cannon and set the stage for eating frosty delights at 120psi. The blasting buffet was documented in at 700fps coming off the Phantom HD Gold. As the evening shook down, cupcake enthusiasts continued to step in front of the cannon and camera. Some shaking in their boots, others perched in zen-like states, ALL were covered in delicious frosting, spongy cake, and showered in a mist of sprinkles."

Johnny Cupcakes?

'Seinfeld' Horror Trailer

Funny Site of the Day -- We didn't start out to have a "Seinfeld" weekend, but the bits just keep on coming, as seen in this frightful spoof of the modern horror film genre, mashed-up with reedited footage from a certain sitcom.

No one is safe while a serial Kramer is on the loose.

'Seinfeld' Movie Trailer: 'George'

Funny Site of the Day -- Here's one of those TV sitcom coincidences occurring in real life. I featured "Daily Seinfeld" less than 24 hours ago and now this new "Seinfeld" movie trailer has splashed itself across my monitor.

And it's just not right. Comic schlub George Costanza's life has been recut into a fuzzy, Hollywood drama.

--*Gasp!* "George" might even be a chick flick!

Add schmaltzy music to cleverly reedited "Seinfeld" footage with Jason Alexander and Heidi Swedberg as Susan, and you have an emo weepfest.

Add a red nose and it might even be "Patch Adams 2!"

Nahhh, but we can scream, cant we?
