How long do you think it took before that guy had to take his iPad back to the Apple store for repairs?

Happy Monday!

My Dad was a science teacher, and he would play a recording of it every year for his students.

The silliness got ramped up to a new level, however, when they recreated their famous Camelot using stop motion animation with Legos™!

I always looked forward to seeing Dick Clark and Ed McMahon when they aired these wonderful shows and showcased the cream of the crop of the golden age of TV outtakes. Even commercials couldn’t escape having their blunders shown to the world. How can you resist, though, when you get this kind of material from the adorable boy from the Sunbeam Bread commercial?

Barbershop Choruses really blow my mind! The 2009 Barbershop Chorus Champions left me speechless with their arrangement of 76 Trombones from The Music Man.

These are two of my favorites so far, and I’m looking forward to more. And I agree. It should have been the rug. ;)

There are very few comedy teams out there who are actually funnier when they mess up! Tim took this notion to the extreme quite often by doing his utmost to make Harvey crack up laughing.

Sometimes the results are beautiful, sometimes I prefer the original, and sometimes they have me holding onto my sides from laughter. Here, Jonathan Coulton turns the classic rap song “Baby Got Back” and turns it into a compelling love ballad. Enjoy!

The 10 part A Capella group Straight No Chaser has truly made “12 Days of Christmas” a memorable and enjoyable experience. And anyone who grew up in the Chicagoland area will remember “Hardrock, Coco, and Joe”.
