Funny video round-up

Do you think mini-guns are cute? Well, get a load of this .17 caliber Browning machine gun? It’s so cute, you might just shoot yourself to see if it hurts. (Please don’t do that, it could be fatal!)

Fed up with the current immigration debate? See how the American Indians dealt with the dreaded Pilgrim immigration back when your great-great-great-…-grandma was still a twinkle in your great-…-and so on and so forth-grandfather’s eye, in this funny mockumentary.

A blooper reel shows a hapless fishing show host stumbling and mumbling his way through one disaster after another. The poor guy keeps on trying though! You gotta applaud him for his persistence.

Did you think it was impossible to drive a car straight up an almost vertical hill? Have a look at this video to see a real master in action. This fellow not only does just that, but he also averts a disaster when his car is about to flip over. Amazing driving!

Microsoft Keynote Bloopers

It was only fair that I dig up some MS Bloopers after posting a reel of Apple bloopers yesterday. Unfortunately, there weren’t that many of them. Found the one below on YouTube, and another of Bill Gates banging his head on a camera, but that’s not really funny, it’s just an accident. You don’t laugh when someone hurts themselves, you laugh when the technology they tout as fantastic doesn’t deliver. So here’s a clip of an MS guy touting Vista’s speech recognition, only to have it fail miserably on the demo. It doesn’t help that he’s arrogant and hard to like, either. Schadenfreude, revisited:

Apple Keynote Bloopers

Get your Apple schadenfreude here… A blooper reel assembled by MacTV and posted to Google Video. These are the perils that await you when you hold a tech show and the technology refuses to cooperate. Being live makes it a whole lot worse. Anyone know of a Microsoft blooper reel?

Another EepyBird Diet Coke + Mentos Video (Experiment #214)

This one’s called “The Domino Effect“, because it uses inter-connected Coke bottles that start each other, in series:

And, for good measure, here’s their original video, which I’m sure you’ve already seen:

Their videos are by far the best Diet Coke + Mentos experiments. Not only are their videos coreographed and set to music, but the two dudes do a decent job acting in them as well. For more of their videos, visit their site, EepyBird.
