Awesome Funny Stuff

The internet is packed with April Fools Day pranks today, and this is one of our favorites. Lexus put together this hilarious commercial for a fictitious and fragrant feature for their new GX 550 SUV – a “Scent Mode” that helps you connect with nature even when you’re stuck in city traffic.

North of the Border and Studson Studios both like to make weird, creepy, and nerdy sculptures. For fun, they recorded voiceovers for each other, with Adam reporting on Studson’s literal Mario Kart build and Studson voicing Adam’s wonderfully demented McDonaldland official Mayor McCheese. Those thin layers of clay really do look like Velveeta.

North of the Border just won’t stop making things creepier than they should be. Adam’s latest nightmare fuel is an oversized clay and wire scorpion with human features like nipples, chest hair, fingernails, feet, and flesh-colored skin. Goopy black eyeballs, Tighty-whities, and mouth-arms bring it all together.

(PG-13: Language) “Are you ever so horny you’re like, “I can figure out Palestine”?” Ramy Youssef had more to say after his 2019 standup special. Then everything happened. And is still happening. But the comedian went ahead with More Feelings anyway, giving us a bit of release while sharing the lose-lose situation of a celebrity trying to help out. Out now on Max.

Singer Otu Suurmunne of Moonic Productions replicated the powerful scream of AC/DC’s Brian Johnson with this remake of Queen’s hit We Will Rock You. Both the original and Moonic’s versions are ideal arena rock anthems, but this interpretation definitely has a harder edge.

Some of Conan O’Brien’s funniest shows were the ones where he traveled to different countries. On his new series, the comedian and talk show host visits fans around the planet and embarrasses them by defiling their local traditions. Along the way, Conan stops in Norway, Thailand, Ireland, and Argentina. It debuts 4.18.24 on Max.

Adam from North of the Border likes to make tiny, nerdy things. He forgot to mention the word “creepy.” His take on tough, but adorable Powerpuff Girls is just plain wrong. Instead of sugar, spice, and everything nice, his cursed versions of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are made from clay and wire and clearly didn’t get enough Chemical X.

Steve Martin has been making people laugh since the 1970s. This two-part documentary from Academy Award winner Morgan Neville starts looking at Steve’s early struggles and rise to fame as a standup comedian and movie star, then shifts focus to his rich and satisfying later years as an actor, artist, musician, and writer. Coming to Apple TV+ 3.29.2024.

Got a wry sense of humor? Get a Whiff makes delightfully fragrant candles with names like Sage Against the Machine, A Mustache, a Pipe, and Pretentious Behavior, and Let’s Snort Some Lavender. Each glass is filled with a hand-poured coconut wax blend with a mix of heady aromas to match its name. They also come in smaller tins and amber jars.

LOL, ROFL, LMFAO, I’M DEAD. These are the kinds of silly shorthand we text each other all the time. LAMAR + NIK’s short comedy film looks at the real-world consequences of texting things we don’t literally mean. This is as close as you’re gonna get to a behind-the-scenes video.

Honest Ads offers a darkly humorous take on what could happen if our worst fears about artificial intelligence come true. Along the way, fake CEO Roger Horton exposes the kind of machine-generated garbage that passes for “content” these days and how large language models are just really good at guessing what the next word might be in a sentence.

You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’, Billie Jean. Mashup maestro Bill McClintock took these two very different songs and combined them with Steely Dan’s Do It Again to create the heaviest pop song imaginable. We think Rob Halford’s spiked leather sleeves would look great paired with MJ’s sequined glove.

YouTuber gimbo compiled OMD Chile’s hilarious TV commercials for Cristal beer from 2003. The ads were spliced within broadcasts of the original Star Wars trilogy, complete with costumes or backgrounds that make it appear that the characters were reaching for the beer. The campaign was repeated during airings of American Beauty, Gladiator, and Notting Hill.

We’ve seen a raft made of soda bottles, but this is the first time we’ve encountered one made from red Solo cups. Drew Dirksen shared this clip of a simple but effective raft that floats because of the air trapped between pairs of party cups. We wouldn’t trust it on the open seas, but it seems to work pretty well as a pool float.

You know those kiddie rides they have at malls? The mad geniuses of Dutch outfit Actic! converted some of the pint-sized motorcycle rides into something they can drive around at festivals and parades. This Instagram clip from wbikekustom shows officers of the Kiddie Ride Police Patrol keeping an eye out for scofflaws. Your electric pony is no match!

March 14 is Pi Day, so there’s no better time to learn as many digits of the mathematical constant as possible. AsapSCIENCE is here to help. While it’s definitely harder to memorize than The Alphabet Song, if you’re paying attention to the lyrics, you should at least get further than 3.1415926.

How do you stop a bear from attacking? Take away his right to bear arms. Adam from North of the Border imagines a way to make a grizzly bear more deadly: by arming it with a high-capacity, rapid-fire weapon. After sculpting the bear’s body, head, feet, and hands, he imparted a fur texture before building a mini minigun and ammo pack.

Getting all the snow off your car when you park it outside can be a pain. Chinese automotive company NIO shows off an unconventional use for its SkyRide active suspension system: making its flagship ET9 sedan shake off a thick blanket of snow like a cold puppy dog. Just don’t do it inside the garage, ET9. Good boy.

Star Trek TNG star Jonathan Frakes had a lot of questions for us back in the 1990s. Well, it turns out if you slow down Frakes’ voice from the show Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, he sounds like a really drunk guy asking random questions as he stumbles home from the bar. More drunk guy questions here.

Can you imagine if Danny DeVito joined the X-Men? Imagine no longer. The VFX team from Corridor used their creativity and modern animation tools to put together an insane fake trailer that sends Frank Reynolds to Professor Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, where he embraces his inner Wolverito. In a hurry? Cut right to the chase.

AMC’s promotional Dune 2 popcorn bucket is the subject of many memes. While most of us can’t get our minds out of the gutter, Adam Savage saw the cursed bucket top as an opportunity to build a geeky diorama, turning the bucket back into a proper sandworm by building a foam and resin sand dune and adding a tiny Paul Atreides and a 3D-printed ornithopter.

Artist LeopARTnik creates hilarious short animations by drawing arms on birds. This compilation video shows some of his best doodles from 2023, including a bird putting a guitar smackdown on a kitten, a chicken on tiny skis, and a parrot that washes windows. Quantastic put together a couple more videos of his work.

Ensure you get your lighter back with this snarky leather lighter case from JJ Leathersmith. One side is stamped with the phrase “NOT YOUR F*CKING LIGHTER,” reminding anyone who picks up or borrows your lighter that it’s not theirs to keep. The backside is embossed with the brand’s name. It holds a standard Bic lighter.
