Woman Sings Duet With Her Cockatoo

Maybe something is wrong with me, but this totally cracked me up. This woman begins singing (about bacon and pork?) and as soon as she looks at her cute bird, he screeches at the top of his lungs. It's unclear whether the scream is one of sheer terror, or if he's playing along. La, la, la, la, la! Read more

Deep Blue Something's Breakfast at Tiffany's Parody Video

I could not be happier that some jokesters took on one of the most loathesome songs ever written — the cloying, annoying, and nonsensical "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something. (Even the band's name makes me want to chew my own face off.) So what did the parodists do exactly? They just took the song's attempt at including banal date conversation into its lyrics to its logical and Read more

Something's a-brewin' in the world of masculinity. It's called the "bromance," and it's an attempt by straight men to be friends without being all gay about it. Unfortunately, it's kind of homophobic, and it's spawned an insulting credo, "Bros before hos," which pits girlfriends as the bromance's public enemy number one. To find out what I'm talking about and to watch a video about Read more

Vanilla Ice Has Apologized — Who Should Be Next?

It appears that Robert Matthew Van Winkle is atoning for the monstrous "Ice Ice Baby" (whose main riffs weren't even his) by apologizing in a video, a video produced as a viral ad by Virgin Australia, so I hear. Anyway, he certainly isn't the only one guilty of a bad hit! Who should apologize next? (If I had my druthers, the band that included the following words in one song should be hung from Read more
