Hipster Puppies

Funny Site of the Day -- These dogs are cool cats.

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

See daily photographs added to the gallery of swingin' canines wearing sunglasses, riding skateboards, sporting caps, and caught in the act of all things happ'nin'.

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.

Celebrate: No Pant's Day

"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!

Watch and listen to some blockhead kid "with one heck of a LEGO collection."

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?
