Your partner is a wise-cracking Sunni

I certainly don’t want to make fun of people who sign up for what has to be one of the most dangerous jobs on earth, but this commercial seems to want to. This sixty-second spot for the Iraqi Police Services (IP) is apparently targeted towards changing children’s minds about what it means to serve in the force. But it also seems to have been made by children. It features a crime-fighting duo taking down terrorists with just karate chops, and a single bullet ricocheting through four or five hostiles, killing them all.

I guess if the intended audience is only children they don’t want to scare them, but the result is unintentionally hilarious.

This will change your life

Funnyordie.com has uncovered a commercial for a video seminar on mastering the interneticals from the thick of 1994. Man I sure did look stupid back then. Nothing like how awesome I look right now (adjusting my Rastafarian hat).

This is one of the best parodies I’ve seen in a while, some of the small details are so good you could easily be fooled into thinking it’s the real deal until it gets to the more ridiculous sections. For instance, the fake tape-transfer titles in the beginning are totally off the hook.

If I could give higher than an A+ I would, but then we would lose our academic credentials.

The Magical Pimp of Augusta Georgia

Got problems with a restraining order? Shazaaammm!!

The global credit pimp market slipped further towards disaster as yet another credit pimp emerged to fight for an already over crowded market place.

This is by far the funniest take on the pimp theme I’ve seen to date, striking much more of a tongue-in-cheek style than some other local television spots that had a similar idea. The pointless “Shazaaammm!!” shot, along with the Chris Rock style guttural growl when the pimp dealer says “no dollars down!” puts this commercial in a league of its own.
