Kevin Spacey’s Brilliant Impersonations

It takes a while to get going but if you move forward to say 56 seconds you’ll see that Spacey is an amazing impersonator: Jimmy Stewart, Katherine Hepburn, Clint Eastwood, Geilgud, Brando “I didn’t learn tiddly twot at the Actor’s Studio”, Christopher Walken (here’s a great SNL sketch of Spacey doing Walken auditioning for the Role of Han Solo… can’t seem to embed it) , Pacino (this is at 5.26 and it’s just genius) and Jack Lemmon. Hilarious.

The Diesel Porn Ad

If you’re watching mum… DON’T!!!!

This ad has gone mentally viral this week, it’s turned up in my inbox a whole bunch of times, so if you haven’t seen it, get with the zeitgeist and be the first in your office to mail it around.

Be careful it’s kind of fruity so not to be played in a place of worship really. Which reminds me, this week’s popbitch old jokes home was aces

What goes clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop, bang bang, clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop

An amish drive by

great stuff. Enjoy the vid.

Intelligent Humour

I’m a big fan of this, clever and funny, like a clown with a phd.

It’s from a NY stand-up called Sara Benincasa.

Ninja Cat

I’m not usually one for the lolcat craze but this is a brilliant cat video.

Peter Sellers On Parkinson

Of all Parkinson’s 70’s interviews this is easily the best. Sellers is on fine form, bizarrely insisting that he come on dressed as a Nazi, where he then does the pigeon Nazi from The Producers and then jokes his way though a hilarious interview. You can sense from the audience reaction that this was a man who was on top form and adored by the public.

Tropic Thunder - Full Movie

This is the full movie for Ben Stiller’s latest… and what everyone is calling the funniest film of 2008.

Well, it was. I think this lasted about three minutes online after it went up on Digg, which is fair enough. Essentially TT is looking very good, (yep I didn’t get to watch it all either) - Steve Coogan is funny and Stiller needs a burns unit: he’s on fire. OK sorry.

Anyway, wait until it’s out in the UK and go and see it.

Earth’s Facebook Newsfeed

This got sent though this week… I think, initially it’s from here but whatever the provenance it’s hilarious: Russia left the group The West.

Fry and Laurie: The Crystal Cube

Huge Laurie and Stephen Fry’s first ever show for the BBC back in 1983. It’s a Tomorrow’s World style show and this, the first and only episode (divided into four You Tube segments) covers off genetics. It’s definately worth a look.

Doug Stanhope - Full Show

This is an entire show by caustic truth monkey and amazing stand up comedian Doug Stanhope, of whom the Independent on Sunday says: “There’s a kind of Olympic torch of extreme American comedy, which passed from Lenny Bruce, through Richard Pryor and Sam Kinison… to the late Bill Hicks. Stanhope is the latest, and equally brilliant, bearer

He is starting his tour in the UK in my home town of Bath on September 10th in a secrety kind of warm up gig if you get the chance go I certainly will – This is the venue.
