Hilarious Misheard Lyrics

hilarious indian music video misheard lyrics
This video is just plain funny - not just of the macho-ism of the lead actor, the dance moves but the misheard lyrics as translated by a user on youtube. If you listen to it, it does sound like those are the words they said.

My favourite would be “who put the goat in there?”… “The yellow goat I ate” haha.

Which one is yours?

Michael Larson - genius or cheater?

michael larson pyl legend or cheateMichael Larson was just an ice-cream truck driver who applied to be a contestant on the CBS’ quiz show - Press Your Luck back in 1984. What happened after the quiz show finished taping that day’s episode caused a big furore, with the public split into admiring what he had accomplished while the rest were calling him a cheater.

It was because, at the end of his romp, he had won a total of $110,237, with over $100,000 of that in cash.

First, a little background on the show itself.

The contestants on the game show need to collect “spins” by answering trivia questions, and then used the “spins” on an 18-space gameboard full of cash and prizes. On top of that, contestants can also get free spins along with the prize. To win something, the contestant must hit a buzzer as the “random” pattern are shown on the screen and wish that the light will stop at a spot with cash and/or spin.

However, there is also a whammy spots where the red cartoon creature takes away all of the contestant’s money. The person who amassed the most in cash and prizes at the end of the game won.

story of michael larsonDuring the taping of the show, the host couldn’t believe what was going on as Larson kept on winning the big bucks with free spins and avoided the whammy along the way, effectively building his money and kept the other 2 contestants with nothing to do except watch. They even had to split the show into two episodes as Larson took close to an hour to amassed all that money.

David Blaine : Over the top street magic

david blaine funny street magic special
This is a David Blaine special - never released on any TV shows or DVD release simply because the participants didn’t want to sign the release forms. If you watch these videos you will understand why. Blaine performed his most unbelievable, most amazing and out of this world trick - it’s not even a trick, they are miracles!

Okay so this is not the real David Blaine, it’s actually a parody but really, really funny, especially the way he look into the camera with his bulging eyes hehe.

“Blaine” managed to freak the 2 guys until they were screaming “stop putting sh*t on our bodies david blaine!”.
It all started with a “choose a card” trick and the finale was a cue card - well I won’t spoil it for you, watch the video and have a laugh on this monday morning.

Oh yeah, and watch the sequel, it’s even funnier with some clever “off the screen” work. 2 videos after the jump!
