Correction: that won the thread until I posted some Turquoise Jeep videos: Yung Humma, “Let Me Smang It”: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt5ghXdq6Z0](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt5ghXdq6Z0) Slick Mahony, “Sex Syrup”: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DaLN0AH32s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DaLN0AH32s) Flynt Flossy, Pretty Raheem, and Whatchyamacallit, “Cavities”: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXUF8GdD\_0E&feature=relmfu](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXUF8GdD_0E&feature=relmfu) All of the videos are epic. But these are guaranteed to disrupt your work day, as you’ll watch them multiple times, asking yourself, “Did I really just see that?” ---

I just found this one from OK Go. > **[OK Go](https://www.youtube.com/user/OkGo#p/u/8/FRVNVjFny-w)** > > OK Go is a band. This YouTube channel is for their stuff. Contained therein: new videos, old videos, making-of videos, 3D videos, unreleased songs, Tim & Dan reenacting scenes from Pretty in Pink and Star Wars and Casino, the odd message from... It’s hilarious if you know its parody. ---

> [@Oslo\_Ostragoth](#): > > None of these grabbed me within 20 seconds, so didn’t watch. Convince me they are worth watching. Did you ever see Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg’s “Dick in a Box?” I think most people found it hilarious. These guys tread that same road, only it’s not really clear if they’re joking or being dead serious. It’s like they live in a parallel universe where it’s 1992 and groin thrusting, barely-veiled sexual innuendo is what hooks the ladies. When a guy pops up on my screen looking like a cross between a middle school science teacher and an IT cubicle-dweller and sounds like Prince, it cracks my shit up (Slick Mahony). Seeing a chubby mack daddy with green hair (and a green heart shaved on his chest) crooning like Jodeci has the same effect. And again, they are so sincere, I can’t tell if they’re playing this for laughs or if they indeed think they are cool as shit. All of the videos have “hallmarks” that you notice across the Turquoise Jeep canon, which makes that funny, too. ---

certainly not funnier than Pyper’s news blooper example, but a couple that came to mind… [Nancy Grace gets “owned” by her control room](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9xbiT4MuzA) (though this HAS to be fake, I still chuckle at it) [the Citibank commercial “what’s your password?” “big boy” “huh?” “big boy!”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE4AgLGLUaM) ---
