Thank God It's Clip Friday!

I tell you what I've been watching on YouTube this week. There some comedic hilarity this week!

Gwen Stefani Vs Madonna - 'What You Hung Up For?'
I gave it a name! I mentioned yesterday in my write up for Gwen Stefani's "What You Waiting For" (#27 on my Top 101 Songs of All Time list) that I had discovered a mashup video between's Gwen's "What You Waiting For" and Madonna's "Hung Up". I've decided that is is flatout brilliant. I mean, the two songs they're using are Jacques lu Cont songs (his "What You Waiting For" remix and he produced "Hung Up") but it's strange how well they go together. But it's not just the song, it's the video! The videos have been merged together stunningly. Seriously, this is probably my favourite YouTube find yet! Just brilliant. I love it so much that I have bookmarked it and it's at the top of my favourites so I can bring it up every time I'm on the net and can listen to it whenever. I really want a copy of this in another form, but nobody seems to have come up with the idea of ripping the song and putting on LimeWire. LOVE

edit: I JUST FOUND IT ON LIMEWIRE!!!! My life is complete. And it's name is indeed "What You Hung Up For?" It's an 8 minute version though (the version on YouTube is only 5:50. Man. LOVE

The Pickle Lady
That is seriously one of the funniest things I've seen all year. How can you be so afraid of pickles? AND MUSTARD, apparently, but they don't bring it up. I love the clip they have of her describing why she hates pickles and the word PICKLES floats around and they have all these shots of pickles. Some of Maury's lines that are the best:

"So we sent her to the Patterson pickle factory where she would become face to face with thousands upon thousands... OF PICKLES!"

"Can we have a pickle please?"

and then at the end "Pickles? PICKLES??"

I love it. I wish they had the rest of the episode up. I wanna know if Mariah learned to curb her phobia of pickles, god dammit!

I did find this video of the Balloon Lady from later in the same episode which is equally as hilarious about a woman who's, you guessed it, afraid of BALLOONS! God, I wish we got this show in Australia.

"The way they FLOAT? You're worried about a balloon floating?!"

My personal favourite moment was when they had the footage of balloons popping and she ran away and Maury was all "Oh no Yvonne, don't go back there, that's worse!" *woman screams*

She thinks balloons will somehow be involved in her death! "There's just gonna be so many of them." Seriously, this is GOLD, PEOPLE!

Britney Spears Coming Down From An Un-natural High
I have no idea what Britney Spears is doing in this clip, but it's hilarious. She's quite obviously on/coming down from something. Nobody is like that normally. I love how she keeps hitting the table, asks "HUH?!", thinks time travel is real (and happening right now) and really wants to see Spun (aka; a movie about drug addicts using, buying and being on drugs). Oh Britney, you white trash druggo! I hope you weren't tokin' any of this stuff while pregnant - although I can understand why would need such stuff. Kevin would wear you down, I bet.

Lara Flynn Boyle dies on 'Las Vegas'
This is, without a doubt, the funniest death on a television series ever. I just... this is probably the funniest moment of television ever. Just so unbelievable stupid yet inspired at the same time. I can't even imagine what the makers of this show were thinking when they did this. She doesn't even just fall off the building (due to a gust of wind), but she literally flies through Las Vegas. Just... wow. This is comedy folks.

You rock! I've wanted to see that Las Vegas scene forever!

So much better than I'd even imagined it to be. I can't believe how ridiculous it is. Awesome.

Wow, what the fuck? It looks like a dream sequence but I Wikipediaed Las Vegas and it was how the character actually died! Is that show meant to be a comedy? Because the ads don't make it seem like it is... I'd be pissed off if I watched that show.

Lucky I have good taste, then.

Also, Maury's so mean. That poor balloon woman.

Glenn Dunks said...

Ja, It is so ridiculous that you just have to love it!

Simon, I don't watch "Las Vegas" but my friend does and she was equally "wtf" about it. She showed it to us and we were like "wtf" and yes that is indeed how she died.

The show is definitely not a comedy, which is why it is even more hilarious and ridiculous.

God it's hilarious.
