Leeeeeeeroy Jenkinsssss

Now these are true and blue nerds.  It’s a taping of a guild working together (or not working together) in the ultimate MMORPG World of Warcraft.  This video captures what happens when a guild member decides to leave a guild meeting and attack the enemy by himself.

Three things stand out for me that are especially funny.  (1) When the guild master (the leader of the group) is talking on his headset to the other members, he turns his character in the game as if his character in-game is actually talking to the other guys.  (2) The entire guild reaction to Leroy’s attempt to go it alone.  “GOD DAMNIT LEROY!  YOU MORON.”  Ha!  (3) Leroy’s grand entrance (“Let’s do this…LEEEROY JENKINS!”) and epic fail (“It’s not my fault…”)  And is Leroy crying in the end?  This is a classic.

Auto-Tuning the News – Pure Brilliance

Michael Gregory and his team of comedians have taken YouTube by storm with their creation of “Auto-Tune the News.”  Put simply, these group of kids take televised news (mostly political news), manipulate it with auto-tune (think T-Pain style), and put it all on top of catchy beats.   The guys themselves (and one girl) pop in and out of the videos, too, adding their own touch to each song.  So far, they have created four Auto-Tune the News videos that are posted on YouTube.  I have posted my two favorite videos above; the other two can be found embedded after the break.  Sit back, relax, and get ready to laugh, bob your head to some catchy tunes, and maybe even learn a thing or two.  Also, be sure to check out where you might have seen the creator of Auto-Tune the News in the past…on American Idol!  All after the break.  Enjoy.  (Who knew Katie Couric was a good singer?  I still have it in my head–“very thin ice, very thin ice.”) Continue reading Auto-Tuning the News — Pure Brilliance →
