Reporter Terrified By Rooster Gone Wild

Drew Weisholtz — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:55:33 +0000

The guy holding the rooster is a real chicken. This 2008 clip of a British reporter is enjoying a second life because, well, just watch for yourself and you’ll see why. Not only does this fella scream, but he also books it like he’s running the 40-yard dash. Intrepid reporter? We think not. Source: Reporter [...]

US Marine Holds Umbrella for President Obama — Awkward Photo of the Day

Robert and Erin — Fri, 17 May 2013 18:00:11 +0000

What do you do when you’re the Commander-in-Chief of the largest, most sophisticated military force in the world? You ask members of it to hold the umbrella for you during a press conference, of course! A few photos of President Barack Obama’s Thursday meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan are raising eyebrows, but not [...]

This Video of Obscene Hand Gestures from Around the World Will Not Help You in Your Travels Abroad

Justin Massoud — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:55:28 +0000

Did you know that throwing up the devil horns at a metal show in Spain will sooner get you beat up than earn the approval of fellow headbangers? It’s true! BuzzFeed has put together a video featuring several hand gestures that don’t mean the same thing in every country. In America, a good ol’ ‘thumbs up’ [...]

Morning News Anchor Pulls 'Anchorman'-Style Prompter Prank

Emerald Catron — Thu, 16 May 2013 18:54:32 +0000

One Today Show reporter in Australia had a real Ron Burgundy moment. It seems Roz Kelly will also read anything that’s on the teleprompter. Fortunately, her co-anchor Karl Stefanovic didn’t put an F-bomb in there like Veronica Corningstone, but he did get her to imply that she enjoys the “cookies” in Amsterdam. Kelly took it [...]

Drew Weisholtz — Wed, 15 May 2013 15:37:27 +0000

You know how they say the honeymoon ended before it even began? Well, that’s actually true in the case of Mohammed Ahmed. The 21-year-old man from Illinois was arrested for soliciting a prostitute…while on his honeymoon! Ahmed, who was in Orlando, Florida with his new bride, was caught when he met an undercover detective posing [...]

Instagram isn't just a place to upload food porn pictures and hot selfies, though the latter is one of our favorite uses for the photo-sharing app. There's some funny, bad-ass and overall weird s#*^ on there, too -- something we quickly discovered by doing a search for 'metal.'

Check out some of the best metal pictures and memes on Instagram.

'Textastrophe' Pranks People Who Publicly Display Their Phone Number

Emerald Catron — Mon, 13 May 2013 20:30:52 +0000

Have you ever seen somebody share their phone number publicly (on Craigslist maybe, or one of those homemade ads for “computer lessons” on the subway) and thought to yourself “I should totally prank this guy”? You haven’t? Oh, uh … neither have we. Ever. Clearly — we’re not monsters. But the person behind Textastrophe is! [...]

Scathing Hipster-Hating 'Hipster House' Ad Placed On Craigslist

Joe Student — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:18:37 +0000

Someone in Baton Rouge, LA just escalated the war on Hipsters. While the Louisiana city isn’t as synonymous with the Hipster movement as places like Portland, OR or Brooklyn, NY a landlord there couldn’t help but reach out to those of Hipster ilk interested in renting his house in an excessively scathing, condescending rental ad [...]

Hilarious TV Programming Fail Substitutes College Baseball Description With Porn Movie Title [PHOTO]

99xstaff — Tue, 07 May 2013 21:33:05 +0000

It must be nice to be that guy who programs the descriptions of shows and movies into TV programming. Instead of going postal when you have a bad day, you can just “accidentally” type in a porn movie title and give millions of viewers a nice little surprise. One program description writer who is probably [...]

Robert and Erin — Tue, 07 May 2013 17:30:34 +0000

Here’s our chance to make your Monday a little better: The 5 dumbest – okay, let’s be nice and say ‘most confusing’ – signs we could find. Some are from grocery stores (long yellow things?), drug stores (picnic supplies, really?) and discount stores (what’s that on the bottom shelf?). Take a look, but remember about [...]

Zane Almost Catches Himself On Fire… Again [FBHW]

Steven Bohner — Mon, 06 May 2013 20:22:38 +0000

This is a story of not learning your lesson after a mistake. Well, that’s not entirely fair, it’s more of a lesson of forgetfulness and panic than anything else. A few weeks ago, Zane gathered up a lot of brush from around his yard and collected it into his fire pit. In a not completely [...]

'Anchorman 2′ Pics: Ron Burgundy vs. a Shark!

Nick Romano — Mon, 06 May 2013 20:10:39 +0000

'Anchorman 2' is currently in the midst of production but it'll soon bring back our favorite manly news anchors to the big screen as 'The Legend Continues.' Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy has already proven himself as the most masculine energy in the universe by coming face to face with some bears, besting his enemies in a street fight and being able to pull off a 'stache, but what's coming next to challenge the Legend himself? Oh, nothing, just a shark.

'The Walking Dead' Dubbed with Bad Lip Reading

GuySpeed Editors — Sat, 04 May 2013 17:55:53 +0000

Fans of ‘The Walking Dead’ know that the show tends to get more than a little grim, so it’s great to see this Bad Lip Reading video take the air out of one of the most suspenseful shows on TV.

One of the great things about Bad Lip Reading is how the videos manage to be hilarious while also offering a pretty good critique of the show

Free Beer And Hot Wings Blast Airhorn In The Hallway [FBHW]

Steven Bohner — Fri, 03 May 2013 16:50:38 +0000

Today, Free Beer and Hot Wings broke out their legendary airhorn for the first time in a while. Just as they have done countless times before, they waited for the other morning shows in our office to go on air and then… HOOOOOOOOOONK! The other morning shows’ reactions are always classic and you can listen [...]

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 03 May 2013 14:57:44 +0000

Taking good pictures is a really tricky skill to perfect, yet when photos are shot correctly, they can be awesome. (See: photobombs and perfectly-timed versions). But there is a bright side to photography failure -- sometimes it can create a weird and strangely entertaining creation. Cue: panoramic fails.

Funny Reactions to the Terrible 'Call of Duty Ghosts' Masked Warriors Teaser Trailer

Danny Fox — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:32:00 +0000

The next entry in the Call of Duty series, Call of Duty Ghosts, is due out November 5. If you haven't made up your mind about buying it, we're not sure the new "Masked Warriors" teaser trailer will do much to convince you. Frankly, we think the trailer is pretty lame. And looking at comments on its YouTube video and Twitter, we aren't alone.

Did This Reporter Just Say 'Sex'???

Kyle Dowling — Wed, 01 May 2013 20:59:29 +0000

We figured athletes were good with the ladies but apparently this reporter knows more than we do. In a recent news blooper, Comcast SportsNet reporter Susannah Collin flubs the word success in a major way during her report about the Chicago Blackhawks. Standing just outside the team’s locker room, she starts off on the right foot, speaking [...]

Starbucks Employee Thought Lady's Name Was Vagina

Emerald Catron — Wed, 01 May 2013 20:45:28 +0000

You know what they say — when in Rome, do as the Romans do; when in Hong Kong, get called “Vagina” at a Starbucks.* That must be how that saying goes, because that’s exactly what happened to a woman named Virginia who was visiting Hong Kong recently, and she wasn’t too happy about it. The [...]

Senior Citizens In Trouble For Terrorizing Neighbors With the Power of Iron Maiden

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 01 May 2013 17:58:26 +0000

Since the members of Iron Maiden are all well into their 50s it shouldn't be a big surprise that some fans of the seminal heavy metal band are now old enough to collect retirement benefits.

Instead it's what a 71-year-old woman from Stockholm, Sweden and her 81-year-old husband did with their Iron Maiden record collection that's noteworthy.

Puerto Rican News Anchor Speaks In Tongues [FBHW]

Steven Bohner — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 16:05:39 +0000

In what seems like a page directly out of Bruce Almighty, a Puerto Rican news anchor began speaking in tongues. After stumbling through a few words, the anchor begins to go through a range of vocal exercises. We aren't sure if he knew that the show live, or if he thought it was taped. But either way, the anchor went through what seem liked a classic case of mouth diarrhea.
