Bill Maher's Interview with a Low IQ Senator - Religulous
OK, major misunderstanding here, let me clarify.

Basically, I do believe in evolution, I was being sensationalist before and I apologise, I would expect better from others frankly! I just meant that I don't believe we've got everything figured out and I'm sure evolution isn't 100% there. It may be 90% there which is about 90% closer than a certain other belief, but science will always be a work in progress and that's a good thing.

- Thanks for the link, chilaxe, that seems to be exactly what I mean. Not quite sure how a step in the evolution of evolution is proof of creationism but they've made less sense than this.

Bill Maher's Interview with a Low IQ Senator - Religulous
Great ending, I was worried the title was flame bait.

A couple of points:
1) I don't think it's established that it's a snake. Pretty sure it's a talking animal so this is a technicality, but that it's a snake is a myth. I think QI covered this and they are actually are beyond question.

2) I don't believe in evolution. OK, I agree in general, but does it explain what it aims to accurately and completely? I very much doubt it. In fact I'd be amazed if the original work wasn't mostly discredited by now, just like much of Newton's work, Einstein's work and so on. Darwin's work was certainly a big step in the evolution of knowledge

If you think about it, it's arrogant to the point of ludicrous to presume this generation has all the big stuff figured it. I'm sure as hell* not a Christian or Creationist, I just think science is a work in progress and we're at a pretty early stage. I hope so! I quit Christianity when I grew out of invisible friends, but I didn't become an atheist just to join other zealots. Science is our friend, but keep questioning.


* Pun / Ironic choice of phrase intentional.

BUT

That's not the point of the joke. The point is that it's a terrible punchline, it's not the joke itself that's funny, it's the telling. AND as such it's a joke that comedians tell each other to demonstrate how good they are at the telling of a joke, not remembering a punchline.

Plus it has become who can make the most twistedly depraved version of it.


Hmm, so it's a David Brent style awkward hollow ending? OK, I guess that's better. Still not convinced it's a classic. I know it's in the telling and it's just fail across the board as far as I'm concerned.

You've Been Barack Roll'd.
That's so bad it's awesome.

What's the odds that in next week, The Daily Show will play out with the credits rolling over this.

Super Slow Motion Lighting - How Did They Do That?
So, what's the speed of the photography? They mentioned 10 frames of an event that took 0.001 seconds, correct? So it's 10,000x slower, am I right?

Darth Is Sick Of Writing Parking Tickets....
I'm not a Star Wars fan and I don't know the back story, but according to Robot Chicken, the Emperor arranged funding for the Death Star. How can this be? Are they making it up??

See Saget's version of 'The Aristocrats' for some context. Filthy!


I hate that joke. I don't see what is funny about it at all. I'm pretty sure I get it, it's an inappropriate name but ... haha? I presume Saget's version included some sort of under age buggery or other such light entertainment but I hate the joke too much to Youtube it.

Yes, Youtube is a verb now.

Wacky moments and bloopers from the Price is Right
Respect to the guy at 2:01 who flips down some stairs. You gotta have some confidence to try that impromptu on TV even if you could do it.
