Damn Funniest Guy Ever

See more funny videos at Funny or Die

It was hard picking a video clip to represent Mitch Hedberg, and pardon the crummy-ish sound quality of this one - but the world is a much less funny place since he died. Whenever I need to remember how ludicrous things are, I just watch one of the awesome recordings from his monologues.

Four Minute and Nine Second Vacation

Whoa, I grabbed this video of Kome Kome Club's "Romantic Journey in the Sky (err? Sea?)" with it's eighties synth sound and shiny costumed gods, goddesses and monster guy - with even more eighties aesthetic (though it's from the early '90s) than you could shove into a wanna be DuranDuran cover band - because for the four minutes plus of its silliness, I can almost feel the holiday I have not had yet this year.

Firefly Squid!

Also known at the Sparkling Enope Squid - they only live for about a year, and grow to just around 3 inches long - but this wee blue flashing phenomenon arrives by the thousands each spring to Japan's Toyama Bay - where they have actually built a museum in their honor. Apparently, it is also the only cephalopod with the ability to see in color. All hail watasenia scintillans!

Koncentratin' Kitties

From the San Mateo County Fair - a photorealistic painting (2nd Place Prize!) of three psychic cats preparing to look into the future.  And the future will have tuna-fish in it.

Olde Jamestown Antique-y Shoppin'

Dang it - I should have bought this chattering bobble skulls salt 'n peppa shaker thingie. Occupied Japan porcelain with hand painted roses and gold luster eyeball holes.

Excellent Vegetable P.R.

Quick! Give this budding marketing genius a contract a.s.a.p.! Not only can she promise us good vision, but mini-carrot eyelashes to boot! More amazing kiddie art from the fair, the San Mateo Co. fair this time. 

Baby Bunnies at the Fair

Dang it - even with tiny bunny poops around its feet, this and every other baby animal at the San Mateo County Fair was able to radiate Cute Overload levels of unbearable adorableness.

Svankmajer + Natural History = Perfection

Here's an early Jan Svankmajer stop motion animation (1967) called "Historia Naturae" Man oh man, the music and segue moments of a man chomping away at fork-fulls of meat as if all of nature is just about food - hilarious and mesmorizing.
