Shannon Goes Viral:Weird Al edition

This is the most fun I've ever had doing any blog ever! Basically I just watched a bunch of weird al videos and that's how that happened. Lol. Weird Al has made some great new videos and songs recently... And he has some other songs I like. I'm a big fan so here we go. I'm going to start with a classic just to set the mood... A song I never thought I would use with Weird Al songs! Lol.

1) Trapped in the Drive thru- The best parody of all time possibly. It's a longer video because it is a parody of R.Kelly's trapped in the closet parody which is like a movie length music video basically. I've tried watching trapped in the closet and I've laughed because it just makes me think of this. It's good and I'll probably watch it sometime somehow but it's too funny to me now. Lol. I've watched this like 30 times and I watched it twice just for this post,and it totally doesn't get old. Best parody ever I'll always love this song so much! 10 out of 10 onions!

2) Word Crimes-this is a parody of Blurred Lines about the bad grammar of the internet, misspellings, and misuse of words. This is super funny to me because I'm an English major and honestly, I make these mistakes quite often. No one is grading my Facebook status I really don't care all that much. I've gotten yelled at in YouTube comments, but it's probably by teenagers that are trying to make themselves feel smart and I'm just like "I can actually speak Chaucerian English and dictate the meanings of every work of his, plus compare it to Shakespeare, Milton and other famous authors right now... You really want to insult my intelligence bitch"... But I would never say that. Weird Al does make a good point though. Someone I know was trying to make an activist type of status once and they said "they don't care about there animals" and I'm like "really? THERE?" So stupid... And I would probably dump a guy for using bad grammar in text form depending on how bad it was. Lol. It just bugs me. So the message is good, the video is soo soo funny. (I realize the irony in my spelling of "so" there). It's good. 10 out of 10 dictionaries.

3) Tacky- This is a parody if Happy. It's super funny and has a bunch of celebrities in it too, but it is my least favorite so far. I mean I say that and I was still laughing out loud at all of this. Kristen Schall, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, and Jack Black are all in this video and someone else who I don't recognize but is probably super famous. It's really funny they are all wearing Tacky clothes and singing bout tacky things. 10 out of 10 Ed Hardy Shirts!

4) Foil- This is a parody of Royals by Lorde... At first it seems like it's just something that is a standard weird al parody about leftovers,.. But it has a bit of a turn that makes it even funnier. I just thought this was absolutely Brilliant. Patton Oswalt and Tom Lennon were also in the video... It was just all around super funny and I think I'm going to watch it again. 10 out of 10 acordians!

5) Handy- This is a Parody of Fancy... Which I really like. I actually think I like the beat of this song a little bit better for some reason. It's about a handyman and I feel like this will be funnier with a music video... Which I'm sure will be up tomorrow since it seems they've been releasing one video a day. This was just the song, but it was really funny. I give it 10 out of 10 Hammers.

6) White and Nerdy- I couldn't not put this one in a Weird Al post because this is such a throwback for me! This is a parody of Ridin Dirty from Chammilionaire... Who I wish was still around! What happened to that guy? This song is so good? Anyway this song is just super funny and the two guys in the beginning of the song? None other than Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele otherwise known as Key and Peele! Sooo soo funny! I recognized them right when I rewatched this today! I don't think that's how they met... But that would be super funny. Lol. I give this one 10 out of 10 pocket protectors.


So that is it. I love weird al and if you're in a bad mood at all... I definitely recommend listening to some Weird Al Yankovik because he is just too too funny. Ohhh man. This is like the best day just because I thought of watching a bunch of Weird Al videos. Seriously if he releases a video for a song every day this week... It just might be the best week in history. It just might!

Byeeeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
