I’ve never really been one for viral videos – those brief YouTube clips that circulate the Internets en masse and inspire parodies, tributes, and (in some particularly creepy cases), full out fan worship. But funny, random websites that inspire some 30 second lawls to brighten up a monotonous day? I say, WIN! Here are three of my favorites that I keep on bookmark standby whenever I need a quickie.
… You know what I mean. ;)
Sleep Talkin’ Man
The story behind Sleep Talkin’ Man is that Adam, a mild-mannered English fella, lives a double-life in his dreams, which renders him ultra cheeky, cocky and downright hilarious. His wife, Karen, started putting Adam’s sleep talking quotes in a blog for their friends and family, and a few months later it became the stuff of random Interwebs infamy. You might call it a hoax, but it would have to be a damn elaborate one (their story and site has been picked up by several major news outlets) – and anyway, the quotes are so amusing that it gives me a daily chuckle either way. Here are some favorites:
Lamebook
The art of the Facebook fail is a tricky one – most often, it’s a skill that simply cannot be learned. But if you’d like some schooling on how not to update your Facebook status, there’s no better place for a quality edjumacation than Lamebook, a site that highlights the best of the worst in Facebook statuses, photos, and related hilarity:
Selleck Waterfall Sandwich
Y’know, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. The photos on this particularly website require only three. Feast your eyes (and stomach) on the delicious randomness of Selleck Waterfall Sandwich.
One classic shot of Tom Selleck, one beautiful waterfall, and one yummy-lookin’ sandwich – all Photoshopped into a brilliant panorama of WTF?! Pretty much the best idea ever.
