Hey, remember Anna Benson? She’s the wife of former major league baseball player Kris Benson. She now stars on another awful reality show on VH1 called Baseball Wives, which features the wives, ex wives, and girlfriends of largely irrelevant major league baseball players doing whatever it is rich women with little responsibility do.

A few years ago, Benson was insanely hot (see picture to the left). So when I heard she was going to be on this show, it peaked my interest, albeit momentarily. Unfortunately, I was stunned to see the way she looks now… (more…)

It’s time for another edition of Unintentionally Funny Local Commercial—the original LWB feature where I find commercials that are so bad they are actually funny.

Today’s commercial comes from Great Neck Nissan.

Joe Valentino, the owner of Great Neck Nissan, is really excited to tell people how they can get FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS CASH if customers find a better deal.  In fact, he’s so excited that he’s going to continue to scream about it throughout the duration of this commercial.

Like a Black Eyed Peas song, this commercial will stick in your brain for hours to come.  His voice, if played continuously, would probably make detainees at Guantanamo Bay talk.  Once you hear him yelling about FIIIIIIVE HUNDRED DOLLAHHS CAAAASH you will not be able to get it out of your head.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you.  Check out the video.

If you’re a fan of the CBS show How I Met Your Mother, then you know that Barney Stinson, who is famous for his womanizing on the sitcom, has an abundance of social theories, most of which revolve around getting laid.

One of these theories is “The Mermaid Theory.” According to Barney, The Mermaid Theory is based off the legend that hundreds of years ago, sailors who were at sea for long periods of time would be so desperate for female companionship that they would see manatees in the water as beautiful mermaids.

In modern day terms, Stinson describes the mermaid theory as so:

Every woman, no matter how initially unattractive, has a clock that represents the time it takes for a man to realize he wants to “bone her.” Typically the woman in question is someone close to you that you see on a regular basis. Perhaps it’s a co-worker, a friend or a neighbor. Upon your initial meeting, you won’t find this woman attractive at all, but over time, slowly but surely, you will want to have sex with her.

So is Barney right about the Mermaid Theory? To a certain extent he is. (more…)

It’s time for another edition of Unintentionally Funny Local Commercial—the original LWB feature where I find commercials that are so bad they are actually funny.

Today’s Unintentionally Funny Local Commercial comes from Gary’s Gutter Service. Gary’s Gutter Service offers a full line of gutter, chimney and roofing services to the Rockland County area in New York.

Gary decided the best way to promote his company was to do something that has never been done before: A cheesy rap by a white guy attempting to be hip.

Check out the video….

So…what are the key ingredients to a cheesy white guy rap commercial? Let’s go down the checklist and see if Gary’s Gutters meets the criteria… (more…)

In what might possibly be the most awkward moment of all-time, high profile attorney Gloria Allred decided to demonstrate anal sex with a baseball bat in front of small children at a press conference on Thursday.

Yes you read that sentence correctly.

Allred was reenacting a recent incident involving Atlanta Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell, where McDowell made homophobic slurs and gestures toward some fans.

Take a look at the video…

There is so much to love about this video but here are a few of my favorite parts… (more…)

It seems like every day there is some new big product or service out there that promises to be the next big thing.  Sometimes these ideas take off, sometimes they don’t.  Sometimes these products do well despite the fact they have no practical use for any logical human being on the planet Earth. The first edition of Terrible Ideas that Make Money was a great success, so it’s time for the second edition.  Here are six more products I’ve enjoyed making fun of.

Royal Heirloom Ring

Prince William and Kate Middleton and are getting married…and to commemorate the special occasion the “British Historical Society” is allowing a replica of Princess Diana’s engagement ring to be sold to dumb American consumers.

This replica is complete crap. It has something called simulated diamonds and is probably just slightly better quality than something you’d get in a 25-cent vending machine at the supermarket.

But this guy with a British accent sounds really smart, so this must be amazing! He says really sophisticated phrases like “19 dollars 90,”scintillating brilliant cut diamonds” and “hinged decorative velveteen box.” (more…)

So I’m watching television recently and I see this ridiculous commercial for a vibrator by Trojan called the Triphoria. In the commercial, a bride-to-be is at a bridal shower when she discovers that three of her friends all bought her the same vibrator as a gift. This part of the commercial is kind of funny but it’s not really the part that confuses me. (Although the fact that I saw this commercial multiple times on Christmas Day is confusing enough. God knows how many small children saw this during the Star Wars marathon on Spike. I can only imagine those conversations: “Mommy, what’s a vibrator?”)

At the very end of the commercial, the woman goes back home to tell her fiancé the exciting news: that she got, not one…not two…but three vibrators!

Check out the fiance’s reaction to this news…

Why is this man so excited that his future wife received three vibrators!? (more…)

It’s time for another edition of Unintentionally Funny Local Commercial—the original LWB feature where I find commercials that are so bad, they are actually funny.

The Red House is located in North Carolina, which becomes glaringly obvious within the first five seconds of watching this commercial. In an area where racial tensions are high, Red House tries to curb racism while also bringing budget furniture into your home.

Take a look…

WOW…There’s just so much to talk about that I think we need to really dive right in and break this commercial down from start to finish…
