A friend pointed me toward the "Lasagna Cat" videos on YouTube. Yes, I'm aware they've been around for awhile. I'm slow. If you have been left out of the mix like I was, here's a light summary: Garfield comics acted out. A homemade music video follows.
Some of the videos make me laugh. Others nearly make me soil myself.

Stuff I Feed Bad About Liking:
Today, I downloaded Joost. It lets you see TV shows and stuff over a legal P2P network. I was expecting something that would lag my computer and install browser "toolbars" without permission.
Although I didn't go crazy searching for spyware, I can say that Joost runs surprisingly well and is positively full of content. I even saw some Scissor Sisters videos I'd never seen anywhere else.
The video is rather high quality and the user interface is downright easy to use.
The downside? You still have to sit through commercials. Also, I'm sure they made it hard to copy the videos to any other source.
I hate liking something that seems to have such corporate approval, but I'm afraid they may have done a good job this time. If you want to keep people from pirating your material, make it easier to legally access.

Good stuff on TV (described for the television attention span):
Transamerican Love Story - trans batchelorette , dating reality show that doesn't take itself seriously, loads of fun, look up the first episode on Joost (see above) or catch it on Logo
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy - deadpan kids show, beautiful animation, lots of intellectual humor, some adult humor (i.e. references to "Mom and Dad's 'special DVD'"), clowns hate tangelos, look for it on Cartoon Network
Those Snickers Commercials - fun costumes, robin hood, viking, pilgrim, the feast
ShamWow! Commercials - talking fast about a towel, woman claiming it changed her life, made in germany (a country known for towels?), enthusiasm over cleaning, call now?
