Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

Video dump

Here's a bunch of videos I've been laughing at lately, presented in an NBCOlympics.com-style video dump. No rhyme or reason. Just videos I like.


1. Filling In, Due to MURDER. It might take a few viewings of this video to realize that the anchor must be reading from a poorly punctuated prompter. I originally saw this on the WWDTM blog.


2. Freaky Sheep People. Watch a little bit of the beginning to get a feel for this piece of political slander, then skip to 2:22 to have the PANTS SCARED OFF OF YOU. Which might be a good thing because you'll be wetting them due to laughter after the shock wears off. This is another WWDTM gem.


3. Maybe you've heard of them, but maybe you haven't: Improv Everywhere. I heard about them on a This American Life podcast recently (this episode, my favorite one ever) and their stories appeal to me because I loved doing stuff like this when I was a teenager - like taping an empty beverage cup to the top of my car and then driving around with friends to get well meaning strangers' reactions. There are tons of hilarious videos on their site so it was hard to pick just one, but here you go - one of IE's agents pretends to get lost at a Knicks game.



4. I have no comment on this one.

Anyone else have any good ones?

I guess I like ice dancing after all
