God Bless YouTube (Miscellaneous version)

And . . . . I'm ashamed at the things I laugh at.

But laugh I do.

Can Joey Gathright fly? Yes, yes he can.

I'm a bit biased because I covered this kid in high school, but it still qualifies as one of the best rebound dunks I've ever seen. It's Eric Hobbie from McKendree University, across the river from St. Louis.

 

that was a terrible you tube clip.

 

I missed most of Don Rickles on Jimmy Kimmel tonight. Not a new thing, people not tuning into Jimmy Kimmel, but still.

So I went looking for Rickles and found him earlier this year on Letterman. Or maybe late last year. Anyway, Denzel Washington was the main guest, and he made sure to stick around for Rickles.

Just classic. Rickles' entrance (with the theme song...anyone know its name?) slays me...and Denzel, of course.

 

L. Kelly --- out for season --- Yeast infection

The only thing they left out was a missed shot where seven players jump up to get the rebound and knock it out of bounds.

 

I've seen this ad probably 100 times and it never gets old.

 

Great Denzel and Morgan Freeman impressions....

You all heard Arnel Pineda?

He was the Philipino lead singer of a cover band called Zoo. He was, until Neal Schon saw his stuff on YouTube. What a tiny world this has become.

From Wiki:

Videos of The Zoo performing cover songs by Journey, Survivor, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Air Supply, The Eagles, Kenny Loggins and other popular acts from the 70s, 80s and 90s, began appearing on YouTube.com in February 2007. On June 28, 2007,[11] Neal Schon of Journey contacted Noel Gomez, a longtime fan and friend of Pineda who uploaded many of these videos, to ask for Pineda's contact information. Schon sent an e-mail to Pineda inviting the latter to audition for Journey. Pineda initially dismissed the e-mail as a hoax, but after being persuaded by Gomez, he finally replied to Schon's e-mail. Ten minutes later, Pineda received a phone call from Schon.[12] On August 12,[13] Pineda, along with his manager Bert de Leon, flew to Marin County, just north of San Francisco, for a two-day audition.[14][15] The star-struck Pineda was welcomed warmly but he described the audition as "nerve-wracking, tense".[16]
On December 5, 2007, Pineda was announced as the lead singer of Journey. CNN Headline News ran the story as part of their "News to Me" segment.[17]
Pineda debuted as the lead singer of Journey on February 21, 2008 at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival held at the Quinta Vergara Amphitheater in Viña del Mar, Chile. [18][19] Videos of the Vina del Mar performance are available at the Festival's home page and on YouTube.

 

GQ just did a great feature on this guy. It was in the issue with the Indiana Jones kid on the cover.

 

This one makes me laugh every single time.
