humor in the Wii Fit trailer

There’s a new game called Wii Fit coming out for the Nintendo Wii soon, and one of the trailers has some humorous moments in it.  The first part consists of players kicking soccer balls at you, and you must block them with your head.  This video is funny for three reasons : 1) the intro, where the game looks really lame with folks just jumping around;  2) the players sometimes kick other things at you, like their shoes and a panda head (WHAT?!?);  and 3) the thought that some people almost fall off the couch or bed trying to play video games with a standard controller — imagine them having to balance themselves and move around quickly while responding to all that’s going on; that could be funny.

Mr. T commercial for World of Warcraft

I know I just recently posted an article about funny TV commercials, and I’m not trying to make a habit of this, but this is one of the best commercials ever.  It’s Mr. T in an ad for World of Warcraft.  He’s a “night elf mohawk”.  And he goes off on the “condescending director”.  It is awesome.  I wish more of the ads on TV were like this.

There are also ads by William Shatner who is a “Shaman”, and a recreation of the He-Man opening scene, but none can compare to the one by Mr. T.

how to microwave at 2x speed

I heard something unusual the other day amidst the Buffet o’ Blog staff (which is not unusual — well, the staff is, but it’s not unusual to hear something unusual; catch my drift?).  Someone posited the idea that we put some food in a small microwave, turn it on, then put that microwave in a bigger microwave and turn it on.  How do you think that would turn out?

funny TV commercials

It’s rather unfortunate that most TV shows now contain as much commercials as actual program.  If the advertisers would put a little more effort into their commercials, using some creativity and humor, it wouldn’t be quite so bad.  At least there are a few that do, even though it’s a low percentage.

Today I’m going to link to a couple of funny commercials that I’ve seen recently.  One is for cereal.  Just by the title, you may think it’ll be boring, because it’s about bran cereal, but it’s got all kinds of visual puns in it, about being “regular”.  So check it out.

The other commercial is a newer one for , where a young boy brings his jam box with him to the dinner table, playing a “funky” beat and getting down with it.  He gets in the groove and times his eating to the beat.  It’s funny to see how his parents respond.  🙂
