My mom was a contestant on the original Jeopardy in 1967. She wasn't the winner but back then everyone got to keep their winnings, she won $160. And the home game version of Jeopardy, a set of encyclopedias and Turtle Wax or Rice a Roni or something like that.

"empowered"? Did the rules of English change, where every sentence now needs a verb, a noun and a cliché?

Interesting, thanks for posting this.

I enjoyed this. Coincidentally this weekend I was Googling my grandfather's name. Found a newspaper entry in Cooperstown, NY in January 1933 where it listed my grandparents spending an evening playing bridge at someone's house with a dozen other couples. Listed all their names and who won a prize that evening. It was about 5 months before my dad was born, reminded me of how different things were back then. Made me wish I was a fly on the wall.

I had forgotten about this clip, made me bust out laughing again.

On a related note, I'm always puzzled by some office receptionists who leave the house in the morning obviously showing a lot of cleavage. But when you stand there talking to them they then make a big haughty display of covering up by pulling both sides of their sweater across their chest. WTF? Still beats the boob apron though.

Throw the switch! It's alive!

I'm starting a social media campaign to hurt the airline financially because they didn't provide a gluten-free organic lactose-free vegan low-fat meal option for my service rhino. And then I overheard two flight attendants sounding annoyed with my demands so I published the home phone number of the airline CEO. Fucking attention-whores.

Ever read Stephen King's book "The Cell", where people's brains are damaged by cell phones? Look for it in the non-fiction section.

Doesn't quite have the same energy as the original:

So many videos that are potentially interesting lose me about a minute in, due to this infantile pop-up rebus style of presentation and editing. You don't have to wave a baby rattle in front of my face to hold my attention, it's insulting.

What is it about the word "basically"? I always considered it a gateway word that leads to hard core usage of "like", "actually", "literally" and "kind of". I've watched friends die of, you know, like, "whatever".

The overactive camera movement, trying to capture the reactions and results, is always a give-away on these, as if everything else in this skit didn't give it away. The only thing missing is the paid extra, screaming directly into the camera, "Blimey, call 999!"

Winded - medical term for internal bleeding.

At least he didn't say "dude, you ok?" right after it happened.

As Dieter from Sprockets would say, I am drawn to him like a moth to a flame.
