Google some giggles

This week's edition of Entertainment Weekly has given me 10 perfectly good reasons to waste an hour or so of my day. The magazine features "the 10 viral videos that kept our focus off work."

I spent some time "researching" and found some of these videos funny, some slow, some strange. Check it out:

1. The Landlord - A young Pearl threatens to put Will Ferrell on the streets if he doesn't pay his rent. Hearing young children say bad words makes me nervous, but lots of people have found this one funny.

2. Alanis Morissette's "My Humps" - Alanis answers the question first posed by the Black Eyed Peas. "What you gonna do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk?"

3. Miss South Carolina Teen USA - Pageant girl fumbles through her take on, like, geography.

4. Filipino prisoners perform "Thriller" - Now we really know what goes on in the yard.

5. Backstreet Bird - Snowball the cockatoo is coo coo for "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)."

6. Dramatic Prairie Dog - Someone get this prairie dog an Oscar for drama.

7. Keepon Keepin' On - I have no idea on this one. But people get some joy out of watching a yellow squishy thing dance around.

8. Clark and Michael - a mockumentary series starring Clark Duke ("Greek") and Michael Cera ("Superbad"). The pair makes nerdiness look cool.

9. Gilbert and Sullivan's "Baby Got Back" - Rear-themed video makes its second visit to the countdown with this Sir-Mix-A-Lot remix. Oh and it's performed by the '80s TV adaptation cast of "The Pirates of Penzance."

10. "Star Wars" trumpet solo - Another bad pageant moment makes the list with this '93 contestant ducking invisible lasers, in a leotard, between instrumental solos.

I don't know if it qualifies as a viral video, but the wine stomping youtube video is the funniest thing I've ever seen. There's even a slow-motion version of it that's almost more fun than I can handle!!

Ok, it's sorta along the lines of how hearing kids use foul language shouldn't be all that funny but it is funny anyway...it's just that noise she makes...

Landlord is kinda funny, but there's another one called Good Cop, Baby Cop that is funnier to me, without as much bad language.

And that Miss Teen USA thing if the funniest thing I've ever seen or heard, and would still be funny to me in 20 years.
