Brian McKnight is an adult contemporary R&B singer. But he wanted to break out of that box… or at least become more “adult”. So he composed a song. A very dirty song.

All I can say is this is indeed NSFW.

The tape has caused quite a stir. And not just in my office when I ignored the “not safe for work” warning and played it out loud. MTV is reporting McKnight’s fans are up in arms.

McKnight just announced on Twitter that he’ll finish the song in “clean and nasty” versions and he’ll let his audience decide what they want to hear.

This is what I’ll do I’m gonna finish it today and I’ll put it out a clean and a nasty version how about that?

Stay nasty, Brian, and keep winning the internet!

For now, I’ll leave you with this “reaction shot” of one McKnight fan watching the video for her first time:

Or is it “Hot Problems”?

The Oatmeal animates a wildly disgusting song by Sarah Donner about the glory that is the Motherf-ing Pterodactyl.

Any song whose chorus rhymes ‘pterodactyl’ with ‘asshole’ was probably already going to be great, but this one is particularly awesomesauce.

A drunken Canadian wails the Queen classic “Bohemian Rhapsody” in the back of the police car. The whole song? Yup, the whole song.

Give this man a Canadian Grammy.

Give the arresting officer some kind of award too. For enduring that rendition. And for making it available to the wide world of the internets.

LFMAO, in more ways than one…

Anyone out there know why or how this happened? More dramatic readings of song lyrics from the Cagemeister por favor!

The clever musicians in the band Walk Off the Earth figured out how to cover Goyte’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” using only one guitar. Watch and be impressed.

But this isn’t their only fun video. To get onto Tastes Funny, you need style, class, gumption, wherewithal and… puppets.

And here they are covering another internet star’s original composition – The Gregory Brothers’ “Backing Up”…

And now, to end on a completely non-musical note… Or maybe it is musical, in the sense that musician often end up bored in hotel rooms with nothing to do. I wonder how many in that situation have invented a new sport? And of those, I wonder how many chose the sport ceiling kicking.

Tim Tebow to Jesus Christ…

In an interview with the heady website Big Think, beloved magician and filmmaker Penn Jillette made a wacky jiggle face…

Naturally, such a moment was calling out for a remix. If this kind of YouTube bagatelle wasn’t around, would YouTube itself cease to exist? Jillette himself even understands that a weird face like this cries out to be set to a beat and posted for the world’s mirth…

I understand why someone made this — didn’t take that much time & it’s funny, but why did I ever make that sound? youtube.com/watch?feature=…

Why indeed? What is the sound of one Jillete jiggling?, a Zen Master might ask. Now, with no further delay, we present “Penn Jillette Goes Around the World”…

Cooking video + rap battle + micro machines guy = Mac Lethal.

“Bad Romance” is no longer topping the charts but this cover could bring it back. Not to be missed…

We always suspected that Mike Tyson quotes would make great song lyrics, but now we have definitive proof. The great quest is over.

It might be charitable to call these folks human beatboxes, but they are something like that…

If for some reason you want this as a ringtone, you can get it as part of this Kickstarter campaign.

For your Halloween pleasure, here is an update of the classic poem by Edgar Allen Poe.

And no, this is not the original words. Here are the original verses… Read the rest of this entry ?

A new classic from the Auto-tune the News guys, the Gregory Brothers…

For all you NPR groupies… just as all hetero males dreamed of the Scarlett Johansson nudie photos, here is your fantasy come true. A sex tape with not just “This American Life” host Ira Glass, but also surprise guests…

I never thought Public Radio slash-fiction could be so hilarious. “I was about to do what Click and Clack never had the balls to do. I was about to tap it, brother.”

The sketch is written by Julian Joslin and Michael Grispan and it couldn’t be more dripping with delectable comedic details. As of the time of writing, this is the only video on their YouTube account — auspicious start. More from this duo please, under the “This American Laugh” label or no!
