Master the Internet

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.

Cracked: 10 Most Laughably Misleading Ads

Cracked dot com has a great send up of 10 of the most demeaning infomercials to the average human intellect. Check them out here.

World of Warcraft Staring T and T.J. Hooker

Oh crap an orc

World of Warcraft is making a strange TV ad campaign bid for more players to get hooked into paying a monthly membership. I guess if it works for eHarmony, it will work for another online venture that does the opposite of trying to make you meet real life people.

The videos feature Mr. T and William Shatner, and can be found on this page. Strangely I found the Mr. T spot to be more funny, maybe because I can actually imagine him playing the game. Shatner would probably just farm for gold or some shit like that.

Power Thirst II

400 babies?

The kind gents at College Humor bring us this new ad for Power Thirst. It’s much like Power Thirst part one, except this time, it’s part two.

Bear blasting is something you’ll make up after you drink this drink because you’ll be too energetic for normal sports. It will make you win at running, football, weddings, and art.

This is the funniest parody of a commercial so far made, attempt no further parodies under severe penalty of rocket can.

Godtube’s Baby got Book

The Book of Badonkadonk, Chapter 12, Verse 1

Nothing says holy worship like taking a song that was originally about a girl with a large butt giving Sir Mix-A-Lot a boner and co-opting it to advertise a Christian-oriented YouTube clone.

Baby Got Book, a painfully white rapper’s take on Baby got Back appears on the obviously named Godtube, which is exactly what you think it is. (The god of all tubes, a tube bigger than any other tube, from whose loins all tubes have sprung, forever and ever, amen).

White guys love Baby got Back, they know all the lyrics, when it comes on the jukebox in a bar they sing every line, so the song is already ruined. This is still an eye-rolling masterpiece that touts the righteous’ love of big bibles. Small bibles just won’t cut it! Remember, the bigger the bible, the bigger pipe you are swinging for Jesus.

(Oh there is more…)
