Like: \"higgs boson is an energy bridge not an enemy.\" The result is a world that is dumber, more surreal, and more entertaining.[UPDATE: Or possibly he's a lunatic, and we should all unfollow him.]Next: Bad Lips and Mad LibsBad Lip-Reading\n\nGQ: Hey, anonymous creator of these inspired viral videos, why did you start doing this? \n\n Bad Lip-Reading: The core of the concept goes back to the fact that my mother lost her hearing when she was in her 40s, and I watched as she learned to read lips as a grown adult. She was amazing at it. And sometimes I would mute the sound on the television and try to lip read the actors, just to try to understand what her world was like. But I was the worst at it. I mean, my brain could come up with word combinations that fit their mouths, but I knew there was no way Peter Jennings was talking about \"stiff colored gnomes\" or whatever I might have come up with. Then I did Rebecca Black's \"Friday\" video the same way just for fun, and the whole thing exploded.\n\nGQ: What's the secret components to a truly great bad lip read?\n\n Bad Lip-Reading: The truly ideal subject is something that takes itself very seriously, like the Twilight films or emotionally manipulative political ads. If you take something very serious like that and you make the people onscreen say completely inane things, it always works. Watching people say absolutely batshit crazy things very earnestly will always be funny. It just is.\n\nGQ: My favorite is the NFL one. \n\n Bad Lip-Reading: I think one reason the NFL video works so well is because, while we may see some of the players on television frequently, most of us have no idea what they actually sound like. So, it's easier to buy into my voice coming out of their mouths. And also football games in general tend to be largely humorless; it's about aggression and testosterone and anger and glory and defeat. All serious things. So, again, to take that and make it completely ridiculous is just funny.\u2014Jennifer Schwartz\n\nCraigslist Missed ConnectionsThis supposed romantic aid for star-crossed strangers has been a font of amazing, probably unintentional humor for bored people at work since 2000.

Here's what we learned about how to sex up ladies, and also ottomans.\n\n1) Set the mood. Make sure the music is on, turn on overhead fluorescents, and introduce yourself by your \"sex name.\" (It should be understated and subtle, like \"Da Humpsmith\" or \"Peeno Sexmaker.\")\n\n2) Get into it. Let the music do its thing, and then just \"do you.\" Or, more accurately, \"do\" your grandmother's sectional sofa. Note: Be safe. Couches and ottomans are fine, but humping a lamp or a Blu-ray player is risky.\n\n3) Upload the video! This is your chance to show ladies all around the world (!) your hump moves. Today a foldout couch, tomorrow night a human vagina. And rest easy: There's virtually no way you'll ever be embarrassed by this.\n\nYelping with Cormac\"Then he said that he had eaten such a taco and that it tasted of bootblack and horsefeed.

Will Ferrell\n\n Movies and TV could never contain Will Ferrell. Watch Talladega Nights and you can tell that what made it onscreen represented roughly .0001% of Ferrell's ideas. Ferrell is a riffer\u2014someone who can and will fire off every possible batshit insane idea he can. He is a perpetual comedy machine. Confining him to a mere 98 minutes seems downright cruel, frankly.\n\nThis is why Ferrell was such a perfect match for the Internet. More than any other comedian, Ferrell saw that the Internet could not only serve as a home to his craziest ideas, but that those ideas could end up becoming some of the most impressive work he's ever done. Without the Internet, you never get \"The Landlady.\" You never get Ferrell going to Davenport, Iowa to shoot a random-as-shit 30-second spot for Old Milwaukee. Ferrell saw that the Internet can make any good idea work. There's no ratings board to worry about, no editor forcing you to pick one joke from the eight hours of footage you shot. That may not be a good thing for less talented comedians. But for Ferrell, it's everything.\n\nThe Landlord (2007)\n\n The video of Ferrell vs. a profile toddler birthed Funny or Die.\n\n\n\nDubya (2001-2009)\n\n Ferrell's Bush was marginally more childlike and infinitely funnier than the real thing.\n\n\n\nOld Milwaukee Super Bowl Ads (2012)\n\n He does the commercials for free, they are insane, and they only air in tiny midwestern markets.\n\n\n\nDrunk History (2010)\n\n Ferrell's second-best presidential impression is still better than Daniel Day-Lewis's.\n\n\n\n Next: Celebrities Read the Internet (and Have Sex on It, Too)\n\n[ @CoffeeDad ](https://twitter.com/coffee_dad)Celebrity Endorsed!BJ Novak, The Office\n\nputting on some coffee\n\n\u2014 coffee dad (@coffee_dad) March 6, 2013\n\n\"For weeks at a time, he will only say simple things about coffee: 'Drinking coffee,' 'sipping coffee,' 'pouring coffee.'

The band Possum Posse created it and does the music, the lyrics of which illustrate and heighten the absurd footage from the original movie Buffalo Rider from 1978. There's an actual cougar attack.

Joe PSAsIf you're lucky, from time to time, people you know will just walk around absentmindedly uttering the phrases,\"porkchop sandwiches\" and \"Hey kid, I'm a computer\" and \"Memememememememe.\" Hearing them may not even make you laugh at this point, but they still instantly trigger a subtle, strange euphoria.Like a lot of funny stuff on the Internet, the G.I. Joe PSAs happened pretty much accidentally. Eric Fensler bought a DVD of a G.I. Joe animated movie and found the 25 original PSAs tacked onto the end of it more entertaining than the film itself. So he started fucking with them, adding his own surreal storylines and all that's left is a canvas of bucolic 1980s suburbia where every citizen apparently ingests bushels of 'shrooms every fucking morning. The kids in Fensler's universe are innocent rubes who are still prone to trouble. They want to \"launch over\" downed wires on their bikes, fry shit when their parents aren't home, and slide across thin ice. But all of the adults have been recast as muscular, flamboyant Village People who randomly offer children body massages and compliments on outfits, or they are outsized pricks issuing impossible to follow orders\u2014think of the Scottish guy who scolds the kids trying to save their friend who wiped out on a frozen pond: \"Give him the stick...Don't give him the stick.\"\n\nThe result is that upon first viewing, at least, you have no idea what anyone is going to say or do. The beauty of it, or anything on the Internet, really, is that it can become whatever it wants to be\u2014no matter what it was before.\n\n\n\n Next: Ninjas and Orson Welles\n\n See the List from the Beginning\n\nActing With James Franco (2008)Some actors spend years in training, but for GQ cover boy Dave Franco, all he needed to make it to the big time was a few tips from big brother James. In this Funny or Die series, James Franco teaches the finer points of sense memory, green screen acting, scene work, and how to masturbate with a bar of soap. When you get a tip like, \"Just rub the jacket against your face and smell it\" you know the Internet is giving you your money's worth.Yacht Rock (2005)        A richly detailed and totally ridiculous alternate history of 1970s   smooth music, in which Michael McDonald has all the answers, Kenny Loggins is a golden god, Donald Fagen speaks a language only Steely Dan bandmate Walter Becker understands, and Christopher Cross acts uncool. Basically a documentary, but not.Reddit\n\nCelebrity Endorsed!\n\n Chris Hardwick, Nerdist\n\nOne subreddit worth subscribing to is   r/fifthworldproblems. It's inter-dimensional alien lifeforms complaining about petty inter-dimensional alien things. It's one of my favorites, and the humor is a high Nth degree of nerd.\"\n\nDr. Steve Brule (2010)A slurring John C. Reilly dispenses wisdom as the alternately jovial   and antagonistic Dr. Steve Brule. People who don't already follow his advice are always \"dummies\" and sometimes wasabi, in Steve's mind at least, is guacamole.\"I'm the Juggernaut, Bitch\" (2005)It's a simple premise: redubbing an episode of the '90s X-Men cartoon as an epic battle between frenemy pimps and smack-talking hos. The key line here is, of course, \"Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, bitch,\" repeatedly spoken by the man himself as he's accosted by the most random attackers in the Marvel universe. It's a ludicrous script, and it is hilarious every time (except in the terrible X-Men: The Last Stand, which jacks the classic line). Also, the re-imagining forces you to really consider what's going on in each scene, how without the words, every superhero showdown is essentially a turf war fought by men in S&amp;amp;M suits. Realizing we watched this shit as kids makes it that much funnier. Thank you, Internet, for helping us discover the truth.High Maintenance (2012)An incredibly well-acted web series about an NYC weed delivery guy   as he encounters hapless, sometimes D-baggy customers.Bestie x Bestie (2010)Comedians Jenny Slate and Gabe Liedman bond over stuff, like why   they hate books.Real Ultimate Power (2002)        The first website to give ninjas and people who love ninjas the respect and love that they have earned.Man Can't Stop Laughing After Hip Surgery (2012)\n\nCelebrity Endorsed! \n\n Michael Cera, Arrested Development\n\n\"I think the reason I love it so much is because it gives a perfectly   crystallized glimpse into this couple's world, in only a few minutes, and their dynamic is hilariously, incessantly charming. You understand so much about their emotional lives immediately.\"\n\n\n\nOrson Welles OuttakesThe master's greatest work? These cutting-room scraps from his late-'70s   ads for Paul Masson champagne, in which Orson's slurring, grandiose tribute to the wine bespeaks a method-actorly (read: champagne-guzzling) approach to the role.Winnebago Man (1988)A refugee from the pre-Internet, when videos of mustachioed men   having a shitty time filming an RV promotional video were traded on VHS.You're the Man Now Dog (2001-present)  All things GIF-ed or Meme-d owe everything they have to YTMND, a   site founded on a single Sean Connery line from Finding Forrester. YTMND did weird Twitter before weird Twitter was weird Twitter.Next: The Drive Thru PhantomWhy Do You Think You Are Nuts? (1983)The band Penny Magic Show\u2014or, anyway, three middle-aged women  dressed in costumes best described as Power Ranger administrative assistant strippers\u2014performed their song \"The Shrink\" on Santa Monica public access back in 1983.Shreds (2008)A Finnish dude, Santeri Ojala, replaces the audio on metal guitar   solo vids by Van Halen, Judas Priest, etc. with something that sounds like a band of elderly clowns un-tuning their instruments in a haunted tunnel.Ze Frank (2001)\n\nCelebrity Endorsed! \n\n Jonah Peretti, Buzzfeed founder\n\n\"He is an OG of the viral web, and his birthday party invitation from   2001 endures as a hilarious classic.\"\n\nDrive Thru with No One in Drivers Seat (2013)A simple, well-ecuted prank makes fast-food workers lose their shit.K-Strass (2010)Mark Proksch, who's appeared on The Office, makes a string of appearances on local Wisconsin news shows as yo-yo master Kenny Strasser\u2014except, instead of talking about yo-yos, he brings up his divorces and takes on-air phone calls from his sick father.Marilyn Haggerty Reviews the Olive Garden (2012)The Grand Forks Herald restaurant critic reviews the Olive Garden, \"the largest and most beautiful restaurant now operating' in town. Wheels within wheels, here, and possibly the most epic Minnesota Nice troll of all time.The Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Daniel Snyder (2010)Dave McKenna's satirical savaging of an unloved pro sports owner is funny, because prickly billionaire jerk weeds are seldom subjected to the comprehensive A-Z pwning that Redskins owner Daniel Snyder received here. It's sad, because Snyder still owns the Skins.Next: The Best Sites of the Early Aughts...and VineFire Joe Morgan (2005-2008)Anyone, or anyone tough enough to finish a Bill Plaschke column, can rage-shred crappy sportswriting. Parks and Recreation creator Michael Schur and the FJM Posse elevated it to an art\u2014perhaps the highest achievement in sportswriting\u2014even if Morgan retired under his own power.'I Like Turtles' (2007)A local newscaster asks Jonathan about his zombie facepaint for Halloween. Jonathan answers 'I like turtles.' Jonathan becomes a legend. Basically the Internet in miniature.Ebaum's World (2001-present)Before the web was filled with videos, you would go to eBaum's world  and play with the soundboards.The Best Page in the Universe (1996-)'The many opinions of an insulting pirate named Maddox.' He's been   doing this sitesince before Clinton was reelected, basically an eon in web years.Homestar Runner (2000-2010)A subtly satirical, relentlessly stoned Flash animation series about the adventures of the hapless, armless titular hero and his grumpy, boxing-gloved foil Strong Bad.Edward Fortyhands (2000)A writer from Woonsocket, Rhode Island and his buddies duct tape 40s of malt liquor to their hands over Thanksgiving weekend. They're lucky YouTube wasn't around then.Will Sasso's Lemon VinesNo one has done more to elevate the form of the six-second video than   former MAD TV staple Will Sasso. Sasso does with lemons what Monet did with bridges and water lilies.'The Whistles Go Whoo Whoo!' (2006)An Oakland man named Bubb Rubb paid for muffler inserts that (intentionally) make his Oldsmobile sound like a tuff teakettle. Area mom is unhappy about it. Local news is on the scene. #OAKLANDGetting Caught Masturbating in the Library (2006)'You just reached out and grabbed yourself and started having sex,' Cleveland investigative reporter Carl Monday asked twenty-something public library dweller Mike Cooper, in this news clip gone viral. Cooper had, but the joke ultimately was on Monday, a self-satisfied Dan Rather-on-Lake Erie-type whose tenaciousness was upbraided by The Daily Show and pretty much anyone who's ever jerked off.Sweet Brown: 'Ain't Nobody Got Time for That! (2012)Sweet Brown, an Oklahoma woman, escapes a house fire and gets bronchitis   in the process. Her reaction ('Ain't nobody got time for that') was, of course looped, autotuned, and turned into a song that generated 33 million views on YouTube.\n\n\n\n Next: \"They're Rapin' Everybody Out There\"\n\nLeprechaun in Mobile, Alabama (2006)There was no leprechaun sighting in Alabama around St. Patrick's   Day in 2006, one hilariously basic witness sketch and local TV coverage notwithstanding. Still, these three perfect minutes of local news brilliance exist nonetheless. It's beautiful: an in-joke that seemingly everyone in the Mobile neighborhood of Crichton is in on, and finds hilarious.\n\n(Bonus: the inevitable musical remix of the story is great)\n\n\n\nAntonie Dodson (2010)A TV news report of an Alabama a woman and her 24 year-old brother   (Antoine, often described as flamboyant) thwarting a would-be rapist at their apartment in the projects went bonkers on the web. By the end of the year, the auto-tuned musical version of the interview was YouTube's most watched non-music video.The Christmas Tree (2006)John Roberts (not the Chief Justice) can now be heard on Bob's Burgers, Archer, and elsewhere, but in 2006 he put out this video of a Long Island woman going apeshit about her Christmas Tree.Icy Hot Stuntaz (2001)In 2001, three horribly tragic white teens from Georgia were known as the Icy Hot Stuntaz, who believed they were untouchable rappers. The world did not agree, but loved sharing their story.Next: Shit All Your Base SayThe Xtacles (2008)Quite possibly the dumbest team of animated superheroes, Adult Swim's The Xtacles' high water mark centers around their misunderstanding an ape who wields a rapier.Clients from Hell Anyone who's ever worked freelance will appreciate the beauty that is Clients From Hell, a site that asks the question, \"Can you just match it to the blue of the sky?\"Shit Girls Say (2011)The first Shit Girls Say video is pretty hilarious. The 46,004 videosit spawned has taken away some of its impact.\n\n\n\nFudsMenuA baffling menu\u2014\"Thick Crust Stringer Chunks,\" \"Polished Windhog,\"\"Bill Clinton Sandwich\"\u2014was distributed to people leaving the Brooklyn food-hipster nightmare-fest Great GoogaMooga, then became a sensation online.All Your Base Are Belong to Us (1998)All Your Base Are Belong to Us is the syntactically unusual adventure story and Internet original that taught a generation to WTF.Thirstiest Men of InstagramInstagram offers a wide array of sexy, duckface yoga-pants/thong-centric lady-selfies and provides room for comments, for better or worse. This wince-inducing compilation of those comments\u2014shout out to the fancy-talker who commented \"I just jizzled up in my trousers\" under a photo of Wayne Gretzky's daughter\u2014suggest that someone should maybe reconsider that offer.Billy on the StreetBefore Billy Eichner was conducting obnoxious interviews on the street on TV, he was obnoxious on the street on the web, issuing \"Fuck You\"s to strange old women who couldn't afford Madonna tickets.\n\n\n\n Next: Kristen Bell and a Sloth\n\nMrs. Doubtfire Recut as a Horror Movie (2012)The horror was already pretty close to the surface in Mrs. Doubtfire,but this trailer\u2014which re-cuts the Robin Williams comedy into Psycho with a Maggie Thatcher (RIP) accent and fake latex boobs\u2014really draws it out.\n\n\n\nScarfolk (2012-present)On his blog, graphic designer Richard Littler tells the story of Scarfolk, a warped English town, via posters, tattered book covers, and old pamphlets about the many oppressive health initiatives\u2014like brain washing, rabies prevention, and warnings about the dangers of Christmas.Epic Meal Time (2010)Self-aware Canadian bros host Epic Meal Time, a cooking show where main ingredients are booze, bacon, and sundry foodstuffs procured from drive-thru windows at fast-food joints.Sloth Lover Kristen Bell Gets a Sloth, Freaks Out(2012)Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell's obsession with all things sloth reached a fever pitch, thanks to a very good boyfriend. Just watch.\n\n\n\nGame Show Brain Fart: Self Potato (2009)The answer to the Wheel of Fortune puzzle was \"Self-Portrait.\" Theanswer that an instantly chagrined Lolita McAuley gave was \"Self Potato.\" Not what Pat and Vanna were looking for; exactly what the Internet was looking for.\n\n\n\n Next: Internet Humor for the Literati, and More\n\nWeapons of Mass Destruction (2003)If you Googled \"Weapons of Mass Destruction\" back in early 2003 and hit the I'm Feeling Lucky button, a British dude gamed it so the result landed on his bespoke 404 page filled with quaint jokes about what we all came to realize was pure catastrophe. Funny, but in the laughing-not-to-cry way.Timothy McSweeney's Internet TendencyMaybe it's the 19th century-ish artisan doodadery of the McSweeney's journals or maybe it's just him, but David Eggers has never seemed like an internet person. This makes it all the more surprising that, during the earliest years of the last decade, his Timothy McSweeney's Internet Tendency was one of the best, funniest and most prescient things on the web.Even by the throw-an-Under-Construction-GIF-on-it standards of that Angelfire-y age, the site was plain\u2014no pictures to speak of, just artfully font-ed black letters on a capacious white page\u2014and not overly concerned with enticements of any kind. It was an unpainted nesting doll of what seemed like in-jokes and arch abstraction. Seemed like, that is, but wasn't: for all the preciousness of the presentation, the glory days of McSweeney's\u2014which included the fully batshit and totally seminal Weekly NFL Previews written by my co-author, Jeff Johnson\u2014were defined by premium-grade silliness that both reflected and drew from what was then a smaller, goofier, more homespun internet. In a sense, the Eggers-ian seriousness of the presentation only heightened the effect: McSweeney's Internet Tendency looked like a fancified journal, but it sounded just like the internet.\u2014David Roth[Editor's Note: Jeff really, really wants you to know that he had nothing to do with this entry, and wishes we'd picked the John Moe letter to Axl Rose instead.]\n\nOur Favorite McSweeney's Pieces Ever:\n\n \"I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal.\"\u2014Colin Nissan, \"It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers\"\n\n\"She asks me about writing profiles like this one. Is it fun? Is it interesting? Who else have I written about? Anyone famous? She isn't like the self-absorbed actresses of other days, other interviews&amp;amp;she's interested. In me.\"\u2014Jake Tapper, \"Though I Can't Be Certain, I Suspect That This Hollywood Actress I'm Interviewing May Be Entertaining Thoughts of Having Sex With Me\"\n\n\"Fifty to a hundred kids of all ages wielding Sharpies arrive early each morning. They hang on the chain link fences with runny noses, cleats, and binders full of football cards, howling at the players and making outrageous demands: 'Sign my wig!' 'Tape Mannix for me!' 'Get my dad's teeth out from under the couch!' 'Reintroduce a stronger strain of Polio to France!'\"\u2014Jeff Johnson, \"Weekly NFL Picks: 1999-2000\"\n\nInside SoCal (2012)Celebrity Endorsed!Allison Williams, Girls\n\n\"I think Kyle Mooney (Todd) is a genius, and I've been obsessed\n\n with his work for years. But this video is just so perfect in so many ways...it always makes me laugh. I love the delivery of all of the lines, the effects, their script...absolutely everything.\"\n\n\n\nCollegeHumor's Favorite Funny Videos\n\nE-mails from an AssholeJohn Lindsay is the American equivalent of David Thorne, working in the trusted old medium of e-mail. On Don't Even Reply, Lindsay trawls (for our benefit) tons of online ads, just waiting for a chance to slowly troll some poor sap who is offering or in need of service, like a guy who gambled away $1200 in Atlantic City and needed a fake invoice from an auto shop. Lindsay enjoys annoying strangers so much, he got a book out of it.My Drunk Kitchen (2011)Because the only thing better than cooking drunk is watching someone else do it. And best of all, no dirty dishes.\n\n\n\n Go Back to #1"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
