Funniest video ever?

I was bored and curious as to what the funniest video ever was. I’m a big nerd. I bet I’ve probably seen it. Is it Kids in the Hall? The state? Some fuddy duddy old british lady saying cock? I decided to ask google and this is what they came up with.

HEEEEEEEEEEELAAAAAAARIOUS RIGHT? That was completly out of left field! They really threw me for a loop.

But there is a marketing lesson to learned here. The name of the video is “funniest video ever” and that fact alone made me watch it. Me and about 700.000 other people. So next time you make a video, write an article, or do anything, make sure people know it’s the absolute best thing in the history of fuddy duddies.

Thaddeus the Ironic Robot

     My computer was broken for about a week, the hard drive randomly crashed.  I think my computer just likes to test my financial stability periodically.  Like, “just making sure you’ve got $200 to spare for emergencies like toasted hard drives.”  During that same week my roommate moved out… taking with her the TV set from the living room.  I have a spare TV that is tinier than my laptop screen, but I was too lazy to re-hook up the digital cable and program the remote.  So there was a short bout of technology-withdrawal without a TV or computer.
     At first I kept forgetting that I had no internet or TV and kept involuntarily sitting down at my desk to check my email.  Then snapping out of my Gmail addicted trance, I’d mutter “Shit.”  And just kind of sit on the couch and stare at the wall.
A day or 2 in, I decided to stop being so lame-ass.  If I was going to be too lazy to get my computer fixed or figure out how to hook up the cable, I should at least be productive.  I picked up a book I’d put down about a month ago and started reading.  I started painting again.  Pulled out the canvases I bought at an art supply shop in Cambridge back in February.  I cleaned my room… then cleaned the whole apartment.  I re-arranged the living room furniture.  I painted my nails.  I went through piles of old mail.  Paid some medical bills that had been sitting on my desk for weeks.  I mailed cards to friends just to say Hi.  I washed my sheets and towels.  I WASHED MY FREAKIN SHEETS AND TOWELS.  That never happens.
     Yes, so now my computer is fixed and I’ve hooked up the TV.  I relapsed to stalking people on facebook for hours on end, and choosing America’s Next Food Network Star over picking up a book.  But I was inspired to finally create Thaddeus.  Thaddeus was born from the mind of my ever-clever and handsome blogpartner, John.  He is the epitome of irony.  A robot who hates technology.  World, meet Thaddeus.  He’s more stuck in the past than your grandpa.
