Four parts of goodiness with Ricky Gervais and Opie & Anthony. Totally. The movies are short, and basically Opie & Anthony just interview Ricky Gervais, but it’s good laugh :) – Take a 15 minute break to learn a little more about David Brent, the enfant terrible of middle management and the man behind him.

Global Warming Can Be Amusing

Looks like Al Gore teamed up with Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons and Futurama. On a side note, who else thinks Troy McClure looks a bit like Al Gore? I can’t believe I never saw these :) They’re so inconveniently funny, and so true.

DIY Person Of The Year

Last year they had Freddy the hamster over at i-merge which they used as an interactive greeting card (read more about that little rodent here) but this year they mashed up the Times Person Of The Year thingy and made that into a DIY tool. Kinda funny to try it out and really cute to surprize your co-workers or friends. All you have to do is upload a picture (or take a snapshot with your webcam) and you get a return page that features your photo on the Times cover. Here’s an example of how that looks like:
You can get yours on personoftheyear.be
One thing I miss, without nagging on the concept, is the fact that the word ‘You’ can’t be replaced by a name. That would have made the end result a lot better, especially if you want to surprize someone. But now it looks exact like the Times cover, and I think that was the main idea. Still… it would’ve been super swell.
The Office US, Season 2

2006
Allrighty, here is the entire second season. I couldn’t pospone the searching, I just had to have my daily dose. There’s something odd about all the episodes though. NBC’s list is only 19 episodes long, but when I look around, I find way more then the ‘official’ list lines up. Pretty weird and quite hard to figure it out, so I’ll just add ‘the extras’ after the ones I could place based on the episode archive from NBC. Also, unfortunately, there’s a two second delay in the second episode. That’s too bad and I haven’t found an alternative file online… The Valentine’s episode, in case you haven’t already watched it, has a nice twist I think. And I really laughed a lot with ‘The Injury’ as well. These guys did a very good job, I’m glad I finally got to watch the entire series, all at once. Oh, and FYI, the gift Dwight has gotten from Angela for his Valentine Day is on sale in the NBC store. Have fun :)

Since the first season of this series only had 6 episodes, It was quite easy to collect them and list them here for your viewing pleasure. For the entire second season, you’ll have to check back later this week, because it takes quite some time to dig them all up. Enjoy these, more is on it’s way.

The Office US, Season 3

Yesterday I accidentally stumbled upon an episode of the American version of The Office, the masterpiece that first saw daylight behind the twinkling eyes of Ricky Gervais. I had heard that the US version was not as good as the UK version, but frankly, I have to reconsider my point of view. I just love this, really. Nobody can replace Ricky Gervais, true, but you just have to check this out. It’s hilarious. In this case, The Office takes a painfully funny look at the interactions of cubicle jockeys at the Dunder Mifflin paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Tune in for the full third season and enjoy. If I have some more time this week, I’ll dig up the other seasons and line them up on this blog as well.

CircoRipopolo Airtistique Viral

Apparently there’s two Belgian blokes who form the CircoRipopolo. A funny comic relief, travelling through the country and giving shows in open air. What does it have to do with marketing? Well, they’ve just came up with the coolest viral site-opener I’ve ever seen and as a final stage in the movie they have a really funny ’send to friend’ featured motion loop you just have to see. Pay attention to the guy on the right, it totally cracked me up from laughing! Amazing. If I ever need some entertainment for a garden party… this is the duo I’ll be hiring!
