The Best of Saturday Night Live

Last season’s season finale proved that Justin Timberlake is the ultimate Saturday Night Live host. 

Practically every skit he’s ever in has been a slamdunk.  He can sing, he can act, he has absolutely no qualms about doing any thing for a laugh — all qualities for the most successful SNL hosts.

He’s won Emmy awards for his song-writing skills on the show too.

Christina Hendricks from Mad Men knows a little bit about what it takes for a man – a real man – to get her attention.

And back in May 2010, she penned a treatise on the subject entitled A LETTER TO MEN.  It’s just her little way of giving back, to help men everywhere know what they should, and shouldn’t, be doing if they want to score a fantastic woman like that.

Some of the tips she shares are:

Clown noses are funny

How can you look at a hot girl wearing a clown nose and not smile a little bit on the inside, knowing that if she’s confident enough in herself to be a little silly and goofy, maybe she’ll find you a little interesting too.

If you live in an urban area, the air you breath contains lots and lots of dog poop

The Dog Poop Initiative

Stop for a moment and take a deep breath.

Ah.  Fresh air smells good, right?

Well, a recent study has come out that shows that the air you breath – especially if you’re living in an urban area – contains more than its fair share of CANINE FECAL MATERIAL in that air.  The study, entitled SOURCES OF BACTERIA IN OUTDOOR AIR ACROSS CITIES IN THE MIDWESTERN UNITED STATES was commissioned to identify what types of bacteria would be found in urban areas.  Would there be differences based on urban population, the season, or other elements?

Decorating the office with Post-It Notes

By web gangsta | Published: August 27, 2011


Post-it Notes
Post-it Notes

When non-destructive, office pranks can be fun.

Filling up somebody’s cubical or office with inflated balloons?  Fun.  Filling up somebody’s cubical or office with Silly String?  A little bit of a mess to clean-up, and usually left to the victim to do so on their own.

Web Watch has even covered an entire office’s items in tin foil and wrapping paper.  Definitely time-consuming and an absolute waste of money, but entertaining.   The best one we did was sheetrocking over the boss’s office door and painting the wall so it looked like the office was never there in the first place.  Oh, we’re still laughing about that one.

But sometimes it’s nice to include others in your office shenanigans.

Another good Twitter idea taken. Isn’t that right, @OldManSearch ?

File this one under “Yet Another Brilliant Idea that Web Watch Didn’t Think of First”.

Of course, first we’d have to get an 81-year-old father who didn’t understand how to use the Internet. 

Norman N is just that guy.  And he has a funny kid who decided to bring Dad into the 21st century.

And thus was born Old Man Search

Video Fun: Britain’s Got Talent’s BRETT DOMINO TRIO

If you’re one of the millions of people watching AMERICA’S GOT TALENT (and let’s face it, you don’t get to be the number one TV program by not having millions of people watching), then you’ll know that AGT is a little lame compared to it’s older sibling BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT.

BGT has given us Susan Boyle, among other talented artists.  Overall, BGT is just more… fun… than what we get here in the States.

So here’s a little video fun from a former BGT contestant BRETT DOMINO.  Sometimes he performs as a duo, sometimes as a trio.  The important thing is that he owns a keytar and isn’t afraid to use it.

Let’s take a look:

Women of the world – a better pee solution for you!

No Boys Allowed - 2 Girls Using the Men's Room

It’s a common sight at concerts, festivals, or other public events — long lines at the women’s bathroom.

Yeah, we know – women take longer in the restroom than men do.  Bathroom equality in new buildings, and all that.

Web Watch remembers one Jimmy Buffett concert where the entire backside of the bathroom building had been co-opted by girls who were just looking for a place to pop a squat.  They didn’t care that they were peeing in full view of drunk Buffett fans — they were just happy that they had a place to go.

Seeing a lineup of 30 girls all peeing against the side of a cinderblock wall is quite a site.  Power in numbers, indeed.

This week at Comic-Con 2011, news organizations are likely to focus – at one time or another – on the cosplay phenomenon…. especially with what the ladies wear.

Women are using ComicCon as an opportunity to wear their “Sexy Halloween Costumes” more than once a year, especially if their costume of choice involves any type of sexy television character, sexy cartoon character, sexy literary character, sexy sci-fi character, or any other appropriate costume that can have “sexy” put in front of it.

There have been any number of sociological reports written about how the Disney Princess marketing department — and let’s face it, the Disney Princess franchise really is a marketer’s dream in terms of how much product is sold — is leading to poor self-image in young girls.

Web Watch won’t harp on these particular topics.

Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)
Buy EVERYBODY’S FREE (to wear sunscreen)

In Italy in summer of 2010, a topless woman was casually applying sunscreen to herself as she laid on the beach.

Why? Because that’s what people do while at the beach. 

Especially when one is topless.  Sensitive skin, and all that.

Video Fun: What if laugh tracks never existed? What if they were everywhere?

Have you ever wondered what TV’s popular sitcoms would be like if they didn’t have a laugh track?

That’s right – they’d be just like real life.  In other words, not nearly as funny without the laugh track accompaniment telling us when it’s appropriate to laugh at others.

Let’s take a look at some TV scenes that have the laugh track removed and you’ll see what we mean:
