Meet the King of pipe-smokers

Sometimes, something so bafflingly bizarre comes my way. This chap has (as at 12:11pm today) 4,721 videos, most of which involve standing around puffing away at a pipe. Please enjoy, while your skull dissolves in your own brain juice…

For extra creepiness, try watching this one.

Nice (i.e horrible) find, @eliot_haworth.

I don’t know about you, but I would probably have a heart attack:

Thanks @neillockwood.

2016. Yes, 2016.

OK, I’ve blogged some really crazy African movie trailers before. But this one, well…

I’m catching the next plane to Accra…

Cheers @speckykweer.

I want to work here. And so do you.

I’ve always loved (i.e hated) company PR events in which the motto is ‘Achieve’ or ‘Succeed’, and the staff are subjected to a barrage of enforced entertainment. But this clip takes things to new heights of horror.

Just go straight to 0:50. Oh, and then to 02:10 for the song and the montage, and if you can’t stomach the rest, just watch the end song at 04:30. I watched it all. Thrice. Sadly this has been taken down since, but you can still watch it right here.

More stupidness as Robin chats with Danny Wallace, and even tries a bacon naan sandwich…

No toilet. No shower.

Why?

Full power to @robangus for finding this.

David Cameron: Wolf strangler

I – or rather, Robin Cooper – was on Danny Wallace’s XFM Breakfast Show today as I am every Friday. Well, this time I was on the phone. I/Robin felt it necessary to discuss the topic on everybody’s lips at the moment: Mr C and all those wolves…

Thanks to @dedboy2000 for the image. Nice work!

The trailer to end all trailers. Official.

I never need to see any other film again. This clearly has it all:

I love all the unnecessary crediting going on at the end – and giving the address of the company that markets the film is a nice touch. Also, how fast does that guy speak? Jeez!

Nice find @Eddiesilence

The Coughing Fit

I made this phone call many years ago. It’s short and sweet. And very silly.

The most pointless clip of 2011 is…

by Robert Popper on October 6, 2011 · 8 comments

This. Obviously:

I love the fact that a ‘production company’ is credited for this. It’s just so brilliant, but the clip does throw up a number of general questions, namely…

1) Why?
2) Why?
3) Why?

Thanks to @mtstirling for ‘unboxing’ (geddit?!) this beauty.
