The Camel that Broke the Woman's Back

When in life do we start disbelieving the old folk sayings?

For a West Virginia woman, it was while she was painting her fence and--from out of nowhere--a camel sat on her. It was in that moment that the phrase "the straw that broke the camel's back" probably lost all meaning for her...

Dog Day Afternoon

Dogs and fireworks are not a good combination.  Check out how this pooch sends everybody running after he fetches a lit Roman Candle.

It seems like everyone's cutting a rap album these days.

Not even a stellar-mass black hole could keep MC Hawkings, "the undisputed king of theoretical gangsta astrophysics," from busting mad beats.

Tracks on his latest CD, A Brief History of Rhyme, include such classics as "E=MC Hawking," "All My Shootin's Be Drivebys" and "A Brief Dissertation on Gravitational Entropy, Quantum Cosmology and the Anthropic Principle."

Fan or fanatic?

Someone seems a little obsessed with the feathered-back hairstyle. 

If we knew Valerie Bertinelli, we'd advise her to change her address, and maybe get a restraining order ready.

International Goof Off Day

Today is International Goof Off Day, celebrating life with good-natured fun and silliness, so goof off with TBS by watching Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends and Sex and the City tonight.

Now Hiring

Think your job sucks?  Check out the worst jobs in history, and be glad that you're not a Leech Collector or Nit Picker.

Some of the jobs on this list, however, don't seem so bad.  For example, Wise Woman seems like a cush gig, as long as nobody brands you a witch (at which point, workplace harassment takes on a whole new meaning).  And "boy actor?"  How is that hard?  It seemed to work out well for Todd Bridges and Macauley Caulkin.

Sadly, there's no section for the modern age.  But you can be sure that your awful job would be tops on that list.

Mambo Italiano?

Why do we find this redubbed scene from The Shining so funny?  Perhaps it's because Jack sounds like one of the three tenors and the woman doing Shelly Duvall's voiceover sounds like an Italian muppet.  Or maybe it's because we have a sneaking suspicion that the lines these voiceover actors are saying aren't really the ones from the original movie, at all...

Anyone out there speak Italian?

Have Mercy!

We at the TBS Very Funny blog have finally found a money-making scheme so simple in it's core tenets and execution that we can tell the man to take this job and shove it.  By next week we'll be making a mint off of WWUJD bracelets, signifying the age-old question: What Would Uncle Jesse Do?

Romance Novel Remix

Some scruffy dude named "Longmire" photoshops romance novel covers and calls it content.  We call it very funny.

Do what you're told!

Do you sometimes feel like you're just a cog in the great machine?  Like your life is under someone else's control?

You're right.
