Fourteenth

Bugger, fell off the wagon again.
This could be attributed to the fact that I have lost a lot of my time usually spent messing around on youtube to the rather large burden of University, oh, and life in general.
This post is a shameless self promotion to relive a time in my life that I - as skinny as I was - would never want to revisit.
This series however, is something I am pretty proud of, and it was a pleasure to be a part of. The lovely creator Sam Cremean and his hilarious mind is to thank for this, this is part one of the first episode:


Get the picture? We follow this journey all the way through, with highs and lows, and ridiculous, occasionally low brow humour.

Check it out if you can, it'd be great to get it out there a bit more.

Also, I think I might try and mix in some stuff about the television I'm watching now, mostly due to the fact that it is taking over my life entirely.

Okay, back on the horse, see you soon.

Thirteenth

Laugh-in.
The late sixties comedy sketch show that I had developed an unhealthy new addiction to.
Whether it be the overly tanned, mustached hosts, or the enthralling beauty of the late sixties, I can't seem to stop myself from scouring the internet for more clips, to sustain my junkie like dependence, to get my fix...

I think I might have to source a dvd of this one folks...
Though it may seem corny there's something so wonderful about it, don't ask me what it is, I'll never be able to explain it.



I think it's her hair, the hair is doing amazing things for me...

P.S. Hi Yoshi.

Twelfth

Too many times have I fought off accusations of being a nerd!
This label that you've given me, which lacks logic or thought, did you ever consider that it might hurt myself, and the true nerds of this worlds feelings?!
NO! I'LL BET YOU DIDN'T!
Wikipedia, (that's right, I use valuable sources of information), states that a nerd is "a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests that are age inappropriate rather than engaging in more social or popular activities."
For those unaware, 'Esoteric' is knowledge which is restricted to a number of people.
Bringing me to the point I am not a nerd, I show enthusiasm in some subjects, yes, but I don't passionately pursue them! I had to look the word esoteric up, so that cuts out me being part of any special group, unless sharing secrets counts, and if it does, WE'RE ALL NERDS WHOOHOOO! Obscure interests that are age inappropriate? Um, no.
So nerr to all of you, I'm not a nerd.
Bringing me to one of my top 3 favorite videos on the internet.
I can recite this from start to finish, and cried I laughed so hard the first time I saw this. The fact that I have actually attempted to play the game involved in this clip probably, scratch that, definitely helps this to be funny for me though.
Oh, the arguments.
I tried to get some background information, but the website in the credits at the end is a porn/sex toy website.
That was fun.
Anyway, ENJOY!


These, my friends, are the read nerds. Infesting our population with their acne and squeaky voices. But fuck, I respect them.

Tenth

Babies!
Alright, I've got one awesome one and a couple of pretty good ones, I'll warm you up to the awesome one.
Number one, "Jerimiah's scared face".


Number two, "Blood".


Number Three, "The Evil Look".


And last but not least, and my personal favorite, "Charlie Bit My Finger".


I can't be bothered with a big post, but those are a few favorites.
Babies might be something I come back to....

Ninth

I can't believe I held this one captive for so long!
Of all the videos circling the internet, this one, by far is the best.
It's hilariously funny, clever, and absolutely ridiculous, the best kind of humor.
The animator and genius behind this masterpiece is a man by the name Don Hertzfeldt, it explains the story behind them in the clip but I'll summarize it anyway.
Don was commissioned by the Family Learning Channel to create a series of short cartoon clips (for promotional use). They were
rejected as soon as the people from the Family Learning Channel watched them. The Johnson and Mills Corporation also asked him to create a few adds for them, these were also rejected. Hence why, the video is called, Rejected.
Okay, here goes guys, eat it up.


So, the first time I watched this clip, it wasn't on youtube (ohmygod, nooooway!), and to create this post I decided youtube was the go. I searched, and as with most popular videos I find people have ripped them off, some unfortunate, and some just as funny as the originals.
Here's a few for kicks.
I'll guide you through the good and bad ones.

For example:
BAD HORRIBLE SHOCKING WORTHLESS.
This one, I can only assume is made with those crummy things on msn that move when you have a microphone and you're talking instead of typing. (Yes, I know a pathetic amount about msn messenger, shut up!)


GOOD, SHORT AND SWEET
Normally I hate it when people do this with videos, sample real cartoons and dub them, but I'm letting this one slide.


UNFORTUNATE, THOUGH KUDOS FOR THE BANANA COSTUME
Yeah, I kind of just pity these guys, the douche bags that go on youtube videos and post nasty comments should go live in a hole and have pessimistic orgies with each other. Though don't let them spawn, chuck 'em some contraception.


So I keep searching, right. (I know what you're thinking, "Lena's pathetic Tuesday night of youtube is ending in a horribly boring blog", and you're probably right. Probably being the key word because I know I'm awesome and I don't need no validation from you non existent reader types.)
My search leads me to this guy, whether his rap is based on the banana from Peanut Butter Jelly Time we'll never know. (Dare someone to email him!) Still, I find this mildly amusing, in a I'm-trying-too-hard-to-be-a-youtube-celebrity kind of way. I love the Banana break-dancing, and I did find myself saying "Banana" along with him. But I'm probably the only person on the planet that did that. Also kudos to him for teaching me that vitamin A-95 comes from Banana's.


Last one, because I've said "banana" a creepy amount in this post. This one I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. I'm sure on a mind altering substance this would be like crack, and if you were on crack, something else. (Sorry I know that was a bad joke, probably doesn't even count as a joke).


Enough!


fin
banana.

This makes me go warm and tingly inside.
I don't need to say anymore really. Enjoy

Seventh

Okay, so I lost it for a while there, but who wasn't expecting that?
This has got to be one of the BEST news reports I've ever seen. I'm assuming it speaks for itself, and if you don't have a chuckle at the unfortunate defense mechanism of these animals I'll laugh for you.
Gets me every time.
P.s. How brilliant would it be if that happened to Humans when they get excited?


Also I love how he says, "there are scores of breeders that love them, just the way they are".
I would probably torment these poor animals if I bred them, running around after them and laughing at them.
I'm a horrible person, I know.

Sixth

Okay, so I've decided to rekindle my love for infomertials, they are just hilarious. Nothing I love more than a bunch of plastic people jumping around trying to sell me useless items, and on occasion I'm surprised to find I actually want to by something.
Bringing me to video number one for this post, I actually can't take credit for finding this one, my sister sent it to me because she knew how much I'd appreciate it.

I think this is quite possibly one of the funniest vid's I have seen in a while, you can't beat the people in their fitness clothes at the end using the chair.
All I could think about as I watched this was how fucking difficult it would be to get anything done with one of those chairs, and where do people get these extremely stupid ideas from?
Leading me to video number 2, The Facial Flex.


Picture someone using both of these products at once.
Awesome.

I wonder how much money they robbed from people for these stupid, stupid devices?

Fifth.

Sorry I know it's not that interesting but this is my beloved baton twirlers semi final performance.
Fuck, I would've voted for him. He was better than the Opera singing middle aged winner of the program. Though that was a little harsh.

Fourth.

Okay so it's late and I'm tired so I'm making this one really quick. This one isn't so much funny as it is heartwarming. Everyone I've shown has loved it, except for one person whom has no heart and shall remain nameless.
STEF.
I'm only kidding, she's rad.
Here goes, I hope you love him and want to marry him as much as I do.
All the other clips from this show are quite lame, either the contestants are really good and make the woman judge cry, or they're really bad and Simon and the other guy yells at them. There is a cool bartender one though. Though it is a little played up, it's still nice.



Here's the bartenders. They made it to the finals, the prize is performing for the Queen or something.

Third.

My sister and I have a somewhat unhealthy love for cats, now grieving for the loss of our little Kitty Tiger we have been searching around for more clips to cheer us up.
I've kind of lost trust in opening videos sent over email, I will never forget opening up the email this poor boy opens in this next clip.
Terrifying.


I don't find this funny, I pity the poor child because I reacted much the same, nowdays I have to wait for the video to load entirely and skim through if I have doubts about it.

So back to cats, my first encounter with youtube involved watching a compilation of videos of cats doing stupid things, and I managed to track it down, just for kicks.

There was another, involving a fan with something tied to the end and two men watching as their poor cat jumped up and grabbed onto it, swinging around and around until the cat loses grip and flies into the wall.
I didn't want to look this up because it's a horrible thing to do to an animal, and to me it's not funny.

So then we come to talking cats, here is the first one I found and made me laugh so much it wasn't long before "oh long johnson" became my msn name.


Okay, Okay, I know I'm going insane with this post but bear with me, only two more to come.
This is an adorable dub of two cats just chillin'. Here goes.


Okay last one! This is toooo cute! Can't you see why I'm a cat person by now? This cat has just returned from the vet, a very beautiful cat, I'd love to own one of them.
They won't let me embed so here's the link.

Check you later.

Second.

Yes! I'm back, I'm making an attempt to actually keep this thing going..
I realize that 'Friday Night Download' is somewhat stealing my thunder, and that they even trump me in preparation because they seem to know a small wikidpedia sized amount about their videos, (that's right I have watched the show before, totally ashamed of myself), but I don't care, because I beat them in the cool factor, they are lame. I am slightly less lame then they, and that slight amount of less lame helps me massively in the cool factor, which is by far the most important.
Sure I'm lazy with background of my stories, and some might not find them entertaining, but I'm that little bit cooler.

Anyway, onto what my blog is really about.
The thing I love about youtube is the fact that you can begin on a somewhat generic topic like 'practical jokes', type that into the search engine and you end up with pages of results, but you can go from the first video and build up to something better. Thats how I found this next clip, I was actually watching the clip posted below, of the man laughing and I came across the "Don't laugh" boys. Now my sister didn't find this funny, but I did, judge for yourselves.
It's a group of men who put themselves in certain situations, and if they laugh they suffer consequences.
Enjoy.



It's worth checking out the other stuff if you like this one, but you can't beat the poor guy trying to learn English.

First.

I have decided to add my name among the millions of bloggers across the world, with boredom by my side I set out to place some thoughts on a web blog that I happen to know, absolutely nobody will read.
Maybe I like it that well, hell, maybe I want it that way. I might be a little more inspired to write something of interest on this blog if I know nobody I know will find it.

Then again, I probably won't.
This is just a chance for me to begin stashing wonderfully funny clips and pictures I find on my day to day searching on the internet.
Hence 'Lena's treasure'.
I'm not particularly creative, nor do I have the best vocabulary on the planet, and the only reason I haven't spelt anything wrong is because I have spell check on my computer, so this is going to be a nightmare for all of my English teachers if they ever stumble across any of my posts. Also any of you that are totally anal about grammar, I suggest you close this blog now, it's going to be hell...

So, for my first post, I'm going to put up one of my old, old, extremely old favorites..
Enjoy.
Lets keep in mind that most of the time this is what I find funny, and with the help of my sisters opinion(until she moves out, which won't be long then you're stuck with my crap) we'll be posting the best of the best.

Number one is an old man randomly chosen out of an audience, he turns out to be funnier than the skit he's involved with:
