My friends and I have spent an embarrassing number of hours reliving our adolescent days, coming up with these groan-worthy puns. Occasionally, a few will touch upon the absurd and, very rarely, the sublime. After the jump I present to you the current, canonical list of Er-jokes. Add more in the comments or in emails and I’ll keep the list updated.
More playing around with Blip.tv. Here’s a vid of us at Instructables going crazy on a little ski jump that we built:
And here’s a random car fire that we passed by on the way home. Skip to the end if you want the exciting part…
Here’s a satirical site by Parsons MFA student Dan Provost, a faux listing of Facebook’s upcoming privaliciously-helpful features. For example:
Facebook Image Scan uses a sophisticated computer algorithm to filter through every image in the user’s Photo Album, identifying brand markings and products and tagging them with links back to your homepage.
The awesome thing about this is that I wouldn’t put it past Facebook to consider such a feature, were the technology feasible. Rather, I should say that I don’t put it past Facebook to consider such a feature when the technology becomes feasible. Maybe sites like FBS will help inoculate us against business practices that insinuate themselves this far into our lives, by highlighting their absurdity before-the-fact. Talk to me again in five years.
To round out the awesome creepiness of the site, you can actually log in from this page. I inspected the source, and the login goes to Facebook (at least as of this morning.) But it could easily phish for your username and password, too.
Nice work, Dan. This is a killer media hack.
Aw, hell yeah:
Part of a series of whimsical posters by Packard Jennings Packard Jennings and Steve Lambert, all depicting architect’s ideas of what public transit could look like without economic, political, or physical constraints.
Coworker, English muffin in hand: I love how the butter gets in all the nooks and crannies.
Coworker, passing by: That’s what she said.
eekdog2005: CO2 is a pollutant in bizarro world.
granjuas: Put a plastic bag in your head and find out.
Doesn’t make scientific sense, but funny nonetheless.
I’m probably the last person to notice this, but if you hover your mouse over xkcd.com comics (here’s one), you get another funny punchline.
They’re like the little margin sketches that you get in the venerable old Tom Toles and Pat Oliphant comics, but tailored for the web.
Comment on some guy’s little hack to fix the knob on his car stereo:
