Yeah, my problem with this is that it's actually *too* similiar to the original, just not as good. I like it when bands put their own take on a cover.

Here's Sepultura's cover of Bob Marleys "War", completely different to the original

No problem. I've got a few jokes for you straight off the bat - what's brown and sticky? A stick. What's ET short for? He's only got little legs. Did you hear the one about the constipated mathematician? He worked it out with a pencil. Doctor doctor, i feel like a pair of curtains. Pull yourself together! What's black and white and eats like a horse? A zebra. What's black and white, black and white, black and white? A penguin rolling down a hill.

Hell, Tim Vine does hundreds of one liners in half an hour and the majority of them are not at anyone's expense.

I think you've confused what you find funny with the term "humour" as it were. You may only find shadenfreude funny, and so you think all humour is shadenfreude, but it is patently obvious that things can be humourous without being at someone's expense and i find it almost petulant to be asked to prove it when it is so obvious. You almost certainly know loads of jokes like that. How does Bob Marley like his donuts? Wi' jam-in. I stood there, wondering why the frisbee was getting bigger and bigger..... and then it hit me. What did the fish say when he swam into the wall? Dam.

From what i remember of Lenny Henry's standup (like him or not) in the old days, he didn't often tell a joke at someone's expense. Tommy Cooper used to make people laugh by doing bad magic tricks. Les Dawson used to make people laugh by playing the piano badly as only a good pianist can. Terry Pratchett makes me laugh by conjuring up funny situations in a fictional world. I laughed at the Big Lebowski when he shaded the pad of paper to see what secret notes Jackie Treehorn was making and it turned out to be a doodle of a man holding his own cock. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh. I bought some new viagra eye drops, cos they make me look hard. What do you call a man with a shovel on his head? Doug.

I could go on and on and on, but i don't get paid for this and i have other stuff to do, but i hope i've opened your eyes to whole new realms of comedy where people don't get hit in the face with stuff. Where are the Andes? At the end of your wristies. Why didn't the skeleton go to the party? He had no body to go with.

I'm so confused by your request for proof that i feel like someone's asked me "Air? What air? There's no air, i can't see any!"

I'm utterly dreading to read your reply if it says anything along the lines of "That ET joke is offensive to short people! That skeleton joke is offensive to people with eating disorders! The penguin joke is offensive to the penguin you pushed down the hill!" Please don't embarrass us both by doing that, we both know those jokes aren't offensive. (Or very funny, to be honest.)

Bob Marley rolls in his grave.

(I really hope that this video is tongue-in-cheek since the author claims to be artist and activist, but Saudis might define activism differently)

That's so cool, the first time I watched this it made me nostalgic for the pie>> ^observer144:

I swear to god.. all these years I've thought it's "I catch the waves down in Africa!".
I cringe to think what other songs are butchered in my head.

Funny, I thought it was "I miss the rains down in Africa".
Lets do an informal Google poll based on total search results:
"I catch the waves down in Africa" = 48 hits (sorry)
"I miss the rains down in Africa" = 8970 hits
"I bless the rains down in Africa" = 237000
...
Maybe I'll struggle to come up with some more alternatives:
"I piss in drains down in Africa" = 0 swing and a miss
"I kiss the rains down in Africa" = 68
"I took the train down to Africa" = 2
"I list the brains down in Africa" = 0 strike 2
"master race down in Africa" = 1 - Wow, Google's crawlers are fast, @dahauns
"I miss the plains down in Africa" = 22
"I guess the rains down in Africa" = a surprising 826
"I swing a mace down in Africa" = 0 strike 3, too much Skyrim for me

I may be unique in this (google confirms this), but I always heard Bob Marley's Get Up, Stand Up line "It's not all that glitters is gold" as "It's as hard as pizza that's cold".
Which is its own sort of interesting koan.

As a kid I always thought he said:

"I guess it rains down in Africa" = 4,470 hits

Perfect that they picked one of the rare rainy days in Utah. That background made me so nostalgic. If any of you are ever in the Salt Lake valley, you can't choose a better pizza place than the Pie.

True story:
Halloween tenth grade, I'm walking out of my house as Bob Marley. Torn jeans, ratty t-shirt, seventy dollar wig of dreads (it was the wig that made the costume, it was kinda perfect), and of course black face cuz I'm from NYC and who could possibly think a smart liberal kid is racist? My mother chases me down with a telephone, stumbling with the cord all wrapped around her, yelling at me to talk to her friend. I take the phone and her Panamanian best friend screams at me to STOP RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE!, like I'm about to walk in front of a train or something. Long story (and there was a very long convo about the irony and political statement of the whole thing) I washed my face.


Pussy.

That Bob Marley-looking guide sure takes great pleasure in pointing out that it's 420 meters.

I sit at a desk and dream while Bob Marley cliff dude lives a dream.

Reminded of a Bob Marley melody at the beginning. *promote

1. Could this guy suck worse at putting his kid in a child seat? Is the kid reacting to Bob Marley, or is he thankful to see you're not actually going to leave him in that torture rack position?

2. Kids suck.
