Viral Videos Of The Week

Bill Hustle — 15 January 2011

It’s time again for more videos. The biggest video story of the last week or so has been Ted Williams and his golden voice. I’m glad the guy is getting a second chance and I hope he does something with it. I hear he got into a little trouble and is in rehab now though. That was a lot of attention thrown at him all at once so hopefully this is just a very small setback and he can move forward from here.

There were also some shootings recently and Sarah Palin again made herself look like a total dumbass. That whole thing is a serious situation so I’m not going poke fun at anything associated with it. But I will say, I cannot see why anyone would back Sarah Palin and pull for her to be in any kind of office. She is a complete idiot and I have no idea why she’s famous or popular. Well, I know why late-night shows like her, she’s a tremendous amount of easy jokes. But other than that, she should not be followed. I’m pretty sure I would actually vote for a dog or some other animal over her. If you’re a fan of hers, I don’t exactly mean to call you stupid. Then again, if you’re a fan of hers, you probably didn’t pick up on it. Oops, sorry again. I hate even mentioning her name or giving her any sort of publicity at all so I’m done with this.

Let’s get away from the sad and depressing and get to some funny and awesome. Here are my videos for the week.

Run, Marshawn Run!

I couldn’t leave this video out. Last weekend, the Seahawks and the Saints had a playoff game. The Seahawks came into the playoffs with a losing record and were supposed to get destroyed by the Saints. I guess nobody told the ‘Hawks though.

In the fourth quarter, they give the ball to Marshawn Lynch and he proceeds to run by, over and through what seemed like the whole Saints defense for a 67-yard touchdown. It was just an amazing run and I’ve watched it many times. If you’ve seen it, enjoy it again. If you haven’t, then you’re about to watch it several times.

Black And Yellow

I think you all know I’m a Bengals fan by now so that means I don’t like the Steelers. Never have, never will. As for other Pittsburgh teams, I don’t follow hockey so I don’t care about the Penguins and the Pirates suck so it’s not even fun to root against them. Seriously, how many straight losing seasons have they had? It’s ridiculous. They might be even more of an embarrassment than the Bengals and that’s saying something.

But then Wiz Khalifa comes out with the “Black And Yellow” song. At first, I didn’t even want to listen to it and once I did, it got stuck in my head. I’ll admit, it’s catchy. You’ll be walking around and before you know it, you realize you’re singing “black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow” in your head. Damn it! Get out of my head!

I like the song now but that doesn’t mean I like the Steelers. The Steelers and the Ravens face each other in the playoffs this weekend. Can they both just lose?

I’ll get off of football now. What I wanted to show here is a remake of “Black And Yellow” by a rapper named Chet Haze. It’s called “White And Purple” because he attends college at Northwestern University. Normally, you’d probably never hear this but this rapper has a little claim to fame. Chet Haze is not his real name. It’s actually Chet Hanks. Yep, he’s the son of Tom Hanks.

That is why I checked out the song. I wanted to hear what the son of Tom Hanks sounded like as a rapper. It’s not terrible. I like Wiz Khalifa’s version better but this kid isn’t the worst rapper in the world. When rappers like Gucci Mane (with his new ice cream cone tattoo on his face) and Waka Flocka (I wish you’d flame out) Flame can make good money, why couldn’t this kid?

I do find it a bit funny to hear Tom Hanks’ 20-year old son rap about blunts and drinking. But this is the first time I’ve heard him. If he’s serious about this and keeps working on it, who knows.

Don’t Tase Me Bro

This video is from failblog.org and cracks me up. These guys are testing a taser or showing how to use it. I don’t know exactly which but that doesn’t matter. Just listen to the guy on the right scream as he gets tased. I would assume that if he’s volunteering to do this, he’s probably done it before. But the girly scream that comes out of him is hilarious. It kind of sounds fake but I haven’t seen anyone say that it was doctored in any way.

EpicMealTime

You knew there would be one here didn’t you? I couldn’t leave out these guys. This time, they’re making some crazy chili creation. I don’t think this one looks that delicious but that might just be me. I’m sure several of you are watching right now and drooling. Or worse but I damn sure don’t want to know about that.

Watching the guy eat this is pretty disgusting. But it has some alcohol in it and he seems to get a little messed up on it. While he’s eating, he says it “tastes like crazy alcohol rainbow pig”.

This thing is over 46,000 calories and they create a bacon cup to drink out of. They only show the one guy eating and it looks gone at the end of the video. There’s no way this dude ate all of that though. I can’t wait to see what these guys come up with next.
