More of the usual retro weirdness from the folks at Everything is Terrible.

This is eight kinds of genius. Charlie Sheen has basically Chucknorrisized in an implosion of awesomeness!

Never has a celebrity pre-emptively co-opted his own viral persona. I take back everything I said before, firing your own Hollywood publicist, in the rare case that you have the tiger blood of Charlie Sheen, is actually a great idea.

Sure, this video does not change the Middle American suspicions that he might be a drug addict who has lost touch with reality. But it positions him as a self-aware space cadet, a pure fountain of narcissistic comic catchprases, a gleeful gadfly of winningness.

I salute you, Charlie Sheen. I salute you.

Lots of netizens had the same idea:

I prefer musical remixes…

I’m sure there are many more on the way. The squirrel warrens of the internet must be hard at work auto-tuning the choisest phrasery of MC Mel. We have a team here at Tastes Funny who will stay abreast of Apocalyptophonecall, and respond instantly as the dance beat versions go viral.

But let us just say that to stand out in the flood of remixes, you’re going to have to be Passion-of-the-Christ-like in your sacrifice. Do it for Mel! Do it for America!

By popular demand, I am posting the subtitled version of Adriano Celentano’s 1972 hit gibberish tune, “Prisencolinensinainciusol”. The subtitles are a best guess…

I have no doubt that this is what American English sounds like to Italians.

I have been assured that this is better than the movie.

A girl finally decides to confront her fear of horses. Um, doesn’t go so well.

Huh? Huh again? Huh to the nth power?

You can read an interview with the filmmaker here and, yes, he’s serious. Also, this movie cost $5M to make.

More clips are available on the movie’s website.

The one thing the Daily Show doesn’t mention is that torture doesn’t produce reliable intelligence anyway, which has always been the biggest irony of this whole thing.

Is it an accident that, since this aired, Obama is thinking maybe some people will be prosecuted after all?

UPDATE: Legofesto has been trying to get the word out for years…

Great photo set of forced perspective fun.

These are some of my favorites.

The concept behind this technique is known as parallax.

It was used to great comedic effect on Kids in the Hall with the ‘I’m crushing your head’ sketch.

I was applying for a job at NBC via an online program that uploaded my resume then scanned the contents and generated a list of past experience. Little did I realize it was looking past my resume and scanning my soul.

So if this medicine doesn’t cure GTBH (Giant Teddy Bear Head), how do I cure that?

I saw this business card in an auto parts store in New Jersey. I guess the publishing industry really is going downhill.

Microsoft made a program called Songsmith where you sing some vocals in and it uses an algorithm to create matching music:

But as a Microsoft spokesman said recently, Songsmith is being “used in ways we haven’t quite imagined.” People have been taking the vocals from hit songs and then adding Songsmith backing tracks to them. The results are funny, bizarre and sometimes disturbing.
