Going Medieval: The Bayeux Tapestry Meme

By prawn1 Thursday March 11, 2010

If you liked the Joseph Ducreux/Archaic Rap meme, you might enjoy the Bayeux Tapestry meme. Created sometime in the late 11th century, the Bayeux Tapestry is an embroidered cloth panel some 70 metres long and tells the story about the Norman conquest of England that happened in the year 1066.

That was then. This is now and as is commonplace with the Internet, the tapestry has been bastardized with modern pop culture references and other popular Internet memes. For your enjoyment, we pick 10 of our favourites from this medieval meme. Find them after ye olde jump.

Procrastination

I’m a master procrastinator (I had a great teacher in Lucy furr). In fact, I had meant to post about this yesterday

London-based illustrator, Johnny Kelly created a quirky video for his graduation project at the Royal College of Art all about procrastination. It’s worth a watch if you have other pressing work things to get to but don’t quite feel like it.

WTTF

You really know things are heading in the right direction when a webcomic describes itself as being “forged by the evaporated remains of hope” and “tempered in pools of disillusion, and served in a bowl of snot.”

Welcome to the Future (WTTF) is pretty darn funny/stupid/rude and has come a long way from its beginnings in 2007 when no one really cared. Have a look at some of the comics after the jump.

Axe Cop: I’ll Chop Your Head Off!

By prawn1 Friday February 5, 2010

0 Comments

An axe-wielding, moustachioed cop teams up with another cop who possesses a flute. Flute cop then unexpectedly turns into a dinosaur soldier, and the crime-fighting duo decides to rid the world of preposterous enemies, like Pretzel Head, who literally has a pretzel for a head. You’d think that the ideas come straight out of a child’s mind. And you’d be right. Comic book artist Ethan Nicolle was playing teams up with his 5-year old brother Malachai, to put the creative imaginings of his little brother onto paper. The results are absurd, badass, and so very awesome.

There are currently six episodes chronicling the adventures of Axe Cop. See them at http://axecop.com.

Also be sure to check out Comics Alliance for an interview with the creators, and follow Axe Cop on Twitter.

Fri’Chickenisha! The Top 60 Ghetto Black Names

Fri’Chickenisha! The Top 60 Ghetto Black Names

My apologies if you have one of the names on the list, but I couldn’t pass up this bit of comedy gold. Back in January 2009, YouTube user thatboyandrew put up video entitled Top 60 Ghetto Black Names. Seven million views later, it gets to me via Twitter (it’s my Facebook), and now onto you.

If you have a friend/partner who has a funny sounding name, do let us know and we can cackle at them. Kindly exclude my name from this – where I come from, all parents have no sense of humor (or a rather cruel one) and burden their children with the most ghastly names.

Michael Bay For Victoria’s Secret

By prawn1 Wednesday December 9, 2009

I think it’s safe to say director Michael Bay’s penchant for blowing stuff up is unmatched, although Roland Emmerich did give it a good try in the disaster porn, 2012. Now, it seems lingerie company Victoria’s Secret need a little more oomph to their advertising campaign and tasked Bay to come up with a commercial.

In “One Gift. A Thousand Fantasies.” Bay shows off all the things that has made him famous – explosions, helicopters, desert landscapes, and rock music. Oh, and there’s a bunch of leggy women in lingerie – I have no idea how they got there, but I think they did their own stunts. Have a look at it below or see it in HD goodness on YouTube.

Well, what was your favourite part? I’d have to say Marisa Miller on the pool table hit the spot, although I don’t think her shot was altogether legal, one leg does need to be grounded at all times.

The Funniest “One Letter Off” Movies

By prawn1 Tuesday October 27, 2009

1 Comment

Ok, perhaps I should give you the full title, “Our list of the 20 funniest #oneletteroffmovies that I put together in 10 minutes without searching Twitter too thoroughly because my eyes are sore and preserving them is quite frankly more important than compiling a silly list”. Anyhoo…

The photoshop gurus at Worth1000 have been doing One Letter Off contests for quite a while now and this past weekend, it seems the meme made it to and had overtaken Twitter. The idea behind #oneletteroffmovies is to re-imagine popular flicks by changing, adding, or removing a letter in their titles, for example Jurassic Park becomes Jurassic Pork (which I am informed is a juicy adult entertainment film). Anyhoo…

Find our list of funniest, possibly vulgar #oneletteroffmovies after the jump.

Major Lazer: Keep it Goin’ Louder

By prawn1 Friday October 16, 2009

We’ve posted about Major Lazer before, more specifically the NSFL music video of their dancehall experiment “Pon De Floor”.

Whilst the video for “Keep it Goin, Louder”, the latest track taken from the “Guns Don’t Kill People – Lazers Do” album, is nowhere near as pornographic as Pon De Floor, it does take the tired “in the club” theme and mashes some monsters into it. Things are getting progressively worse (as they do when the undead is concerned), and only a visit from the Jamaican commando can set things right. Check it out below.

Incidentally, you can listen to user-submitted remixes of both tracks at Remix Major Lazer.

Tour de Mob: French Pranker Organizes Amusing Flash Mob

A French prankster by the name of Rémi Gaillard has taken the social phenomenon of flash mobbing to a new level by organizing an amusing trick for unsuspecting cyclists. Take a look at it below – it’s slight NSFW as bare male buttocks are exposed towards the end of the clip.

If we could ever afford an international holiday (cue sympathy nod here), Lucy Furr and I would love to take a roadtrip across the USA. It seems we can do that now, albeit through the eyes of Chris and Mike.

These two gents decided to drive from San Francisco in the West Coast to Washington DC in the East Coast, snapping a photo every 10 seconds. Take a look at the time-lapse video of their trip below.
