Some people really have trouble seeing the funny side. That seems to have happened in France after a group of firefighters decided to have a laugh and shoot a lip sync video to Call Me Maybe – and just to add a little extra interest, they did it while half naked.

Unfortunately though they seem to have gotten into a bit of trouble over what was intended as as a birthday present for the firefighter’s friend Naninanounax. “We don’t necessarily want to put off a funny image of ourselves. It’s not in our best interest,” an unnamed source from management told France TV. “On top of it, they are at the fire station, using department equipment. It’s not appropriate.”

Personally we can’t see what harms it doing and it certainly made us smile – and once again, by people getting all pompous and disapproving of something, it’s gotten far more attention than it would have otherwise. [Read more…]

Jimmy Kimmel loves his star-studded parodies and he’s lined up a great selection of famous faces for his post-Oscar skits this year, which imagine what would happen if internet memes became major Hollywood movies (and seriously, how long is it going to be until that’s not a joke?).

Oscar-winners and nominees have all lined up to have fun with trailers for movies based around Charlie Bit My Finger, Sweet Brown, David After Dentist and Keyboard Cat. The latter in particular is full of people you might not have expected to take part in this sort of thing, such as Kevin Spacey, Christoph Waltz, Ben Kingsley, Gary Oldman & Mandy Patinkin.

They’re joined in the others by the likes of Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Liam Hemsworth, Chris Hemsworth, Queen Latifah, Barkhad Abdi, Adam Driver, Matt Damon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Samuel L. Jackson and Seth Rogen.

And personally I’d love to see a feature-length version with Kevin Spacey as Amadeus meets Keyboard Cat. Take a look at them all below. [Read more…]

Do fratboys actually do any studying? Probably not if this video is anything to go by, as it’s difficult to imagine they’d have enough time to get a degree and those muscles at the same time. Indeed, decent pecs seems to be one of the main requirements to be a member of the University of Miami’s Pi Kappa Alpha (Pikes) fraternity.

They’ve been taking off their shirts to promote their charity carwash. We’re just hoping they realised that making a video like this was more likely to attract horny gay guys than the lovely ladies they might have been hoping would turn up for a quick buff and shine (frats are ridiculously homoerotic places at the best of times, so maybe they genuinely don’t realise quite how gay this is – it’s just daily life to them).

It was all for a good cause though, raising money for the Wounded Warriors Foundation. Unfortunately though, if you were hoping to get your car washed by the hunks you’re out of luck, as the event took place last weekend. (Source: TheGailyGrind)
