Really? A ten minute review of Terry’s Chocolate Orange?

Yup. That’s what this is. And it’s strangely mesmerising. It’s worth watching all the way through, by the way, just for the last sentence…

No need ever to be lonely again…

Cheers to Patrick for telling me I had to watch this. He was very right.

The football song to end all football songs

Thanks to Matt Lucas for sending me this lovely ear-worm…

I particularly like the bits where the guy is mouthing the words while she ‘raps’.

Witness the death of social media

You might also die of embarrassment…

And what was that ‘rap’ thing at the end? Ugh! Thanks for killing us all, Joe List, with this find. It’s almost as embarrassing as this horror I blogged a while back.

Are you watching Donald Trump?

You could learn a lot about business etiquette from this…

Love the guy appearing in the doorway by mistake while she’s talking, and of course the very professional fade out, mid sentence.

Cheers to Group Eugh for this great find.

Steak anyone?

Thanks to the mighty Sam Bain for this delicious slice of horrible…

That mincer. Ugh.

If I ever need a lawyer…

Grotty TV gem from 1965

Thanks to Matt Lucas for sending me this totally bizarre and grotty gem from 1965. Stars and Garters was a variety show, broadcast live (I assume) from a pub. Apart from the really odd presenter, Ray Martine, look out for Diana Dors, the bloke singing in the high voice at around 13 mins, and the closing song that seems completely out of sync. Also, everyone – EVERYONE – is smoking. Click on the ‘Vimeo’ box below to watch.

Stars and Garters S03E01 (1st Febuary 1965) [UN (Xvid)] from Matty on Vimeo.

Directed by ‘Rollo Gamble’. What a name.

Oscars brilliance from Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington

It’s two hours long and it’s two hours funny. Here’s the live show Tim (of Tim and Eric) and Gregg (aka Neil Hamburger) made to accompany the Oscars. It’s insane. Watch it all. Now.

What an incredible specimen

This guy is something else…

Thanks to Doug, aka DJ Douggpound, for introducing me to Gary and his ‘hair’.
