I don't remember a spoof ever being so much better than the original (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AJmKkU5POA) and unline Weird Al's parodies, the music in this isn't at all related to the original.

Some of the "BLR"s are the funniest stuff on YouTube (Like their Spiderman one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7jtpy0lfBU)

This week's Photoshop Phriday at SomethingAwful imagines magazine covers from the distant future.

A spoof the dryness of math texts from spikedmath.com

My dad (a professor) sent this in with the note:
"This video is funny and close to what a professor sometimes feels like saying."

1 - You drop something and your left hand instinctively reaches out to press Ctrl-Z

2 - You receive a handwritten note and instinctively scan the top looking for a timestamp

3 - You try to write a handwritten note but you spend so much time looking for paper and pen or pencil that you give up and just write an email

4 - You try to write a handwritten note but your hand cramps after just 2 or 3 words

5 - You mentally categorize people without email addresses as 'Dead'

6 - When you hear a song you like on the radio/PA system you try to vote it up

A lot of corny jokes, but a lot of truth too

xkcd is a webcomic that has been around for a number of years and Randall is posting his 700^th entry this week.

It's the only comic I read now. The ones in the paper (on the rare occasion [less than once per month] when I read a newspaper) are embarrassingly unfunny, as are most web-only comics. But xkcd has moments of insight - and is perhaps the only heir to the long-lost and Calvin & Hobbes in terms of its mix of intellect, humor, and sentimentality.

The best strips are typically one-idea jokes that have something to do with math:

But some great ones are almost more like HowToons than comics:

It's not for everyone, and some of the nerdier strips require information that I don't, and won't ever, have - but it's worth checking out.

This is a punchline for which I just couldn't think of a good set-up:

"Orange you glad I didn't say, 'Banana hammock'"

If it needs explaining, it isn't worth it.

Chris McVeigh has a lot of fun and funny photos. There is something about the composition and color that makes them more compelling than simple snapshots of toys and animals.

From Variety:

"Elton John's Rocket Pictures hopes to make the first Jane Austen adaptation to which men will drag their girlfriends."

From the New York Times:

"The movie “Pride and Predator,” directed by Will Clark and written by Mr. Clark with Andrew Kemble and John Pape, will juxtapose brooding aristocrats with a brutal alien that lands in 1800s-era Britain, attacking residents and leaving them with neither sense nor sensibility."
