When I was reading the morning newspaper the other day, an unlikely headline grabbed my attention. A young comedian from the area had passed away. (SEE: Dan Ronan, Chicago comedian, dies at 24)
Sadly, I had not heard of Dan until his tragic passing. Being the investigative reporter I am, I wanted to know more about him, so I immediately started researching... and this guy was brillliant! WHY hadn't I heard of him??
"If you don't know who this is... And know who this is. Congratulations! You're what's wrong with the world." (new Doge version)
His comedic skills far surpassed those of many famous comedians. A young man loaded with talent, thankfully some of his performances are preserved on the vastness of the internets.
Here is a brief snippit just to give you an idea from a skit known as "You Can't Watch Wayne's World"...
brand new BERT IS IMPRESSED meme
We will get back to talking about Dan shortly, but first I want to back flop into discussing a new comic talent on the scene...
Philip Seymour Hoffman (also gone too soon) as "Mattress Man" gif
I discovered a funny guy named Ryan Willis thanks to @em1lysouthworth's twitter account. Anywho, without further ado let's get a taste of Ryan in action on Vine...
WE GOT A BADASS OVER HERE meme starring William Shatner/Captain Kirk
And now shall we close with a new segment called:
The Donald Trump Quote of the Week
Donald Trump Quote of the Week: "TOO MANY PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT WINNING TODAY... I CALL THEM LOSERS."
Yeah. We won't be ending this post with the Donald Trump Quote of the Week. That would be stupid. Besides, I promised you more Dan Ronan.
So here ya go. Dan Ronan doing a character named "Tim Negoda" in a skit called "Skunky Funkybuns"...
R.I.P. Dan Ronan Goodnight, sweet prince
So that will end our journey today. Once again thank you, and please remember to support your local zoo.
this guy from "Italian Spiderman" reacts to a sloth gif (created by some unknown genius)
I hate when that happens. Welp, anyway... many of Miley Cyrus' long time fans reacted the same way this guy from the Italian Spiderman movie did, when they caught a glimpse of her new video. (SEE: Miley Cyrus "We Can't Stop" )
Miley Cyrus "OH GOD WHY" twerk gif
Ahhh...to paraphrase Ned Flanders "dang diddily do dang do damn diddily darn it" I am just going to post the Miley Cyrus video for those of you who haven't seen it yet. But don't use up all your precious energies on watching it, because today's post has barely just begun. So hang onto your potatoes kids, because we're just getting started. Anywho, here's the dagnab video...
Yeah. Well. This Miley vid is described as "interesting" by some, and in terms that are less complimentary by others. I would characterize the reviews so far as "mixed."
As you can plainly hear, it's a controversial new anthem that sings the praises of partying very hard.
Homer Simpson PARTY HARD gif
It doesn't mention any of the things that can go wrong when one "parties down" without considering the consequences...
"DAMMIT FRANK. KEEP IT TOGETHER" giraffe meme (from the internets)
That's not what the song is about I guess. However, a certain man (Lord Throckmorton Fungusleaves, the roving entertainment reporter and official poet laureate of JimmyFungus.com) was happy to moralize regarding the message of "We Can't Stop", and the ramifications of the type of behavior it is promoting. Welpers, just watch Lord Throckmorton's video down below (or attempt to anyway). The title of this video is "We Want the Old Miley Cyrus Back!"
an exciting new William Shatner meme or gif, or whatever ya wanna call it
O.k. whatever. I am just going to jump into our next topic now, which is the issue of these dueling "Bohemian Rhapsodies"...
You see, for some inexplicable reason I can't begin to articulate, I was inspired to create a "The Big Lebowski" version of this classic Queen song. The results are available for your viewing pleasure down below...
(UPDATE 9/3/2013: I deleted the video when I was in a bad mood.)
And for awhile, I thought it was one of the best dang versions of "Bohemian Rhapsody" that had ever been created.
"YEAH, WELL THAT'S JUST LIKE, YOUR OPINION, MAN" Big Lebowski meme (from the internets)
Then I caught wind of the Willliam Shatner version, which is a masterpiece.
Truly, a masterpiece.
But anyway, it only has about a million views on the youtube. I think it deserves at least about 100 gorillion more. So, why don't you do your fair part in trying to accumulate that number by watching it below...
And NOW just a couple more topics which we shall briefly discuss...
the thrilling OVERLORD MANATEE meme (from the internets)
I made another exciting video at my youtube channel, which is called "When Manatees Attack." And yeah. It's really exciting.
RON BURGUNDY: HE'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL meme (new and improved version)
Just one more thing. Since "Anchorman 2" starring Will Ferrell (and most of the original cast) will be coming out EVENTUALLY, I have taken it upon myself to make a video which is a new and improved version of the scene in which Ron Burgundy utters the famous phrase, "I'm kind of a big deal." The title of this new video is "Ron Burgundy: "I'm kind of a big deal" (NEW & IMPROVED VERSION)." (update 9/3/2013: I deleted the video when I was in a bad mood.)
With that...our journey for today ends. Once again God bless you, and please remember to support your local zoo.
Penelope Soto rustles a judge's jimmies in a Miami Dade courtroom
Have you heard about this crazy situation with this young lady Penelope Soto who rustled a judge's jimmies, and he subsequently threw the book at her? (SEE: Flipping the Bird to the Judge )
Well, guess what, kids! It's the subject of my first ever podcast. Yes, take my hand, true believers, because we are going in a new direction here at JimmyFungus.com. One that will save on the high cost of ink, by cutting down on words for me, and hopefully will make the experience for you, the gentle reader, more enjoyable. Let me know what you think about this "new direction" in the comments. But for now....just click on the media player below, and let your ears do all the thinking...
"Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it." (via "Billy Madison")
Now back to our story. As I alluded to in the podcast, Penelope Soto pretty much told this grumpy, old judge to kiss her a$$...
the KISS MY ASS panda (via the internets)
...and the judge reacted like we were in Soviet Russia...
IN SOVIET RUSSIA JIMMIES RUSTLE YOU meme (via the internets)
...or perhaps the judge was just givng her a dose of "tough love"?
WORK HARDER COMRADE BEAR (via Soviet Russia)
Luckily, my roving current events analyst Lord Throckmorton Fungusleaves has been covering this story, and was able to bring you this new delightful video...SO WATCH!
Welp, dear friends... that's all I have for you today.
a panda's butt (via SOMESAI @ FLICKR )
So, I figure I'd just post this picture of a panda's butt I found on the internets, and call it an afternoon.
Once again, thank you, and please remember to support your local zoo. Stay clasyy, Chicago!
