As a Texan, I feel it must be in my genetic code somewhere to laugh at yankees trying to deal with eating hot food. But inbetween bouts of belly-shaking laughter I couldn't help feel a teensy bit bad for poor egoraptor in this video, as he tries to review Monster Hunter 3 after chewing up and swallowing an entire habanero pepper whole.

I am so torn about the Wonder Woman shorts shown on DC Nation. On one hand the art style shows a lot of promise, and Wonder Woman is pretty kick-ass. On the other hand, the dialog is absolute horrendous, and every other character comes off like a wooden dullard. Only the action has any life to it, any time one of the characters is talking, emoting, or even doing some action smaller than a major set piece, the whole thing just falls apart and everyone looks like an idiot. Since Wonder Woman is the only one who stays active for most of the shorts, she's the only one that comes off well; everyone else, especially Steve Trevor, comes across as brain damaged.

I'd love to see long haired, muscle-car driving, Amazon goddess Wonder Woman, but not from whoever wrote this script:
Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:
 
I agree that the dialogue is terrible, but I also really hate that art style. I can't even tell you why; it just rubs me the wrong way.

Because the apex of animated wonder womanhood has already been achieved, back in JL/JLU. There was nothing left to improve.

Also, the goofy bouncy shit makes it look like the animator just figured out how to tween in flash and won't leave it alone. Just need some 90s photoshop flares to complete the effect.

Funny co-driver in a rally race:

Sammi, conentrate!
Medium left, Sammi!
If you don't stay on the road, you will wreck the car!
Triple caution, Sammi, triple caution!
Concentrate, Sammi!

Do you think the car sounded like this when @Dave was teaching his daughter to drive?

How about the violin family as a whole, then?
Along with the reed instruments (oboe/clarinet/sax), they're the ones I most think of as being best able to mimic the human voice.

Love 'em or hate 'em, the vid is still awesome.

I couldn't move that well even if I were wearing socks and three Bob Seger songs were playing!

What... what did I just watch? And why do I feel sexually confused?

Of course, the day robots become sentient and attack humanity just happens to coincide with your wedding day.


 
I dunno, I enjoy it. The added stuff on the side is a lot of fun, and John Green is fun to listen to. I know I'm more likely to listen/watch a video than read a list.


zefrank1 has a new video. Not humorous like all of his True Facts vids but still fun.

So it turns out Mike Tyson had never played Mike Tyson's punch out until now. And we get to see him struggle against Glass Joe. Thanks (?), Fox Sports.
