'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?

Old Spice Commercials: 'The Man Your Man Could Smell Like' and 'Did You Know?'

Funny Site of the Day -- "We're not saying this body wash will make your man smell into a romantic millionaire jet fighter pilot, but we are insinuating it."

So says fragrant Old Spice of their popular commercials starring actor/athlete Isaiah Mustafa. The company has been employing memorable comedy in TV ads for some time, as this pair of current spots proves.

"Don't smell like sunsets and baby powder. Smell like jet fighters and punching." --Either "The Bible" or Old Spice. I've misplaced my notes.

As a bonus, interviewer Leo Laporte talks to the creators of these commercials, Craig Allen and Eric Kallman of Wieden + Kennedy, discussing the behind-the-scenes of "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like."
