E*Trade Baby: 30 Years Later

(posted by t.j. peters)

In these hard economic times, when our savings are depleted and the market fluctuates with relentless uncertainty, there’s one man who gives us the confidence to press forward with our fiscal diversification.  No, he’s not a lawmaker or a financial guru, or even a man, really.  He’s a talking baby, and boy can that little fucker post a web cam video.

We all know the E*Trade baby.  We’ve watched him invest for years and chortled all the way while he created memorable non-words like shankopotamus.   Hahaha, a baby golfing?!  That’s unlikely! However, we have to understand that though it’s easy to love him now, the E*Trade baby will grow up and have problems just like the rest of us.  Or, in his case, the problems might be much worse.

Take a look at the E*Trade Baby:  30 Years Later — an original video for PoC starring blogger Josh Golden:

Re-Post Tuesday: The Host with the Re-Post

Tuesday, the day we give thanks to posts by re-posting them. Today is about Tonight, Conan-themed re-posts. Here’s him on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis making a jackass out of himself for your amusement.

Here’s some more Conan for the funny bonin’. It’s a clip from last night featuring Judd Apatow. Enjoy. Or don’t. Whatever. All I did was re-post it.

That’s all for today. Might be a bit of a slow week at the ol’ blogsite as I finish and start a few other projects and search for a job. Anybody know where to get one of those? I’m good at…things. Let a kid know.

Health Insurance IS a Laughing Matter

RE-RE-RE-POST! Enjoy these videos, both representing “the other side” to healthcare reform. You’ll laugh until you choke, thanks in part to the humor and part to that nagging cough you can’t afford to get checked out. If you can’t afford to see a doctor, see a comedian. Will Ferrell and Funny or Die got you covered.

And here’s one from The Onion News Network, because while we’re all out boozing and whoring and falafelizing, somebody needs to be thinking about the children. Thanks Onion, for being funny and tending to the the little chickpeas during this sexy, drunken, deep-fried time in our lives.

Another successful Re-Post Tuesday in the books. That will be $12,000 please. Healthcare humor isn’t cheap. If this seems steep maybe you should get your jokes from a blog for the poor and indigent.

Move Over RAAAAAAAANDY!

Re-post Thursday features the latest Aziz Ansari/Jason Woliner viral “RAAAAAAAANDY” video for Apatow’s Funny People. This DJ made my day!

Who the fuck is DJ Ol’ Youngin’? My internet searches have come up empty. I have a guess, but am afraid to posit it. An incorrect guess is a positive test result for racism. I’m not falling into that trap. No sir. Fine, I’ll take my stab. Is it OJ? Get it? Take my stab? Because he’s a knife-murderer? Nothing? Y’all are racists.

Aziz is really funny in this, but Ol’ Youngin’ (whoever he may be) and his three rules they live by steal the show. If you have any information as to the secret identity of this unmasked DJ, please contact me at 1-800-LEAVEAFUCKINGCOMMENT. I seriously do have a guess and I seriously won’t go public with it. White people, we live in constant fear.

DJ reveal thyself!

I’ve got so many parts for this man. Find me, Ol’ Youngin’!

Repost Tuesdays

It turns out Tuesdays are for reposting. Here are a couple comedy videos I have enjoyed recently. Get this: They’re made by women!

This first one is by Angela Trimbur:

And this one’s from Andie Bolt:

I’ll try to write something tomorrow using my words instead of someone else’s videos.

My name is Ben and this blog is becoming a point of shame.
