Hilarious new Irn Bru advert from Scotland. Minor nudity alert for later in the ad. Enjoy. (A Hat Tip to Amy for sending us this link)

Matrix Ping Pong

calliope — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 08:14:46 +0000

This one has been floating out there for a while now, but it still has to be seen to be believed. It’s ping pong…in the matrix. Sort of. (We understand that it’s from some Japanese game show.) Either way, it’s cool.

A Little Political Humour

calliope — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 06:17:19 +0000

So much voting and political information everywhere lately. Have you considered going with a sillier political party?

The [tag]Monster Raving Loony Party[/tag] is certainly that…

If the world is going crazy perhaps the silly vote is the only way to go. The campaign would certainly be interesting…

Medicine in the UK

(A Hat Tip to Jen for sending us this wee silly joke. Enjoy!)
Medicine in the UK

Tony Blair is being shown around a hospital. Towards the end of his visit, he is shown into a ward with a number of people with no obvious signs of injury. He goes to greet the first patient and the chap replies:

“Fair fa’ your honest sonsie face,
Great chieftain e’ the puddin’ race!
Aboon them a’ ye your place
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o’ a grace as lang’s my arm.”

Tony, being somewhat confused, goes to the next patient and greets him.
He replies:

“Some hae meat, and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit”.

The third patient starts rattling off as follows :

“Wee sleekit, cow’rin, tim’rous beastie, O, what a panic’s in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi bickering brattle!
wad be laith to rin an chase thee,
Wi murdering pattle!”

Tony turns to the doctor accompanying him and asks, “What sort of ward is this? A mental ward?”

“No,” replies the doctor, “It’s the Burns unit”

Darth Vader vs. Japanese Police

With a mighty Hat Tip to Ray for telling us about this video, we offer you [tag]Darth Vader[/tag] vs. [tag]Japanese Police[/tag]. We here at the Lair of Silliness do not endorse trying to kick Darth Vader’s butt. Only trained professionals who are strong in the force should attempt this.

A Virgin Radio Pantomome

calliope — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:18:46 +0000

Need an amusing way to kill about 35 minutes? Why not try Virgin Radio‘s Pantomime production of Cinderella from Christmas 2006? It features Brian Blessed swearing, and David Tennant‘s reaction to said swearing. If you can make it past the terrible rhymes in the script, you may just bust a gut laughing. Enjoy!

Aussie Commercial

calliope — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 08:50:04 +0000

This [tag]Australian[/tag] commercial for the [tag]Toyota Hilux[/tag] is hilarious. It translates pretty well, just so that you know. It might also help you to remember the handbrake. Enjoy! (A huge hat tip to JM of [tag]YouTube Digger[/tag] for showing us the way.)
