Things that actually don't suck on the web.

You know how periodically there will be some thing that catches fire on the internet, usually starting with a small clique or group of people? Ordinarily, these crazes are lame. But occasionally there are some actually funny things out there. I've culled through the hundreds of things that I've seen on people's weblogs or emails (usually with subjects like "FW: FW: FW: THIS IS SOOO FUNNNY! CHECK IT OUTT!11") and came away with about five things that actually don't suck. I know. I too was amazed that I found that many.

Bubb Rubb

Bubb Rubb. What can I say? You've just got to witness Bubb Rubb in all his glory. Just a guy on the local news who developed an internet cult following, unbeknowst to himself.

The Terrible Mr. G

"... Don't shoot at me!! ... I fucking shot you like fifty fucking times! Fuck!"
This is some good stuff here. I'm sure you know somebody (or ARE somebody) who gets WAY too into playing their video games. Such was the case for our good friend Mr. G.

Here's the official summary:

So, the story goes that co-worker A got sick of co-worker B's constant
profanity whilst playing Counter Strike. Co-worker A then hid a microphone next
to co-worker B's desk, and captured this stream of rantings. Then, as co-worker
A was a member of an electronic music-making concern, he endeavored to edit it
all together. The end result was this:

Strong Bad

Read Strong Bad's emails.
Strong Bad is, how you say, the most awesomest thing ever. You should check out all the characters at homestarrunner.com, but no one's as cool as Strong Bad. He takes the time out of his busy schedule to answer weekly emails. He's a true friend.
TROGDOR!!

Star Wars Kid

Oh Ghyslain. Poor, poor Ghyslain. This 15-year-old Quebec kid earned the bad-ass moniker of Star Wars Kid by doing what ordinary 15-year-old kids do. Trouble is, most kids don't normally do this while at school and while filming oneself. Who hasn't picked up a stick of some sort and pretended that it was a light saber and twirled it around, along with making your own sound effects? Well, here is the result. A cruel-minded classmate of Ghyslain found the tape and put it on the internet and the rest is history. Ghyslain, if you're out there buddy... you da man!

But the fun doesn't stop there. The original video spawned over 100 other edits, adding things like special effects and inserting Ghyslain in other movie clips. After watching the original clip, check out these edits for real hilarity.

William Hung

She bangs! She bangs! Oh baby, when she moves, she moves!

In early 2004, a young man named William Hung stepped up on the American Idol try-out stage and banged. Banged, baby. William belted out his cover of Ricky Martin's She Bangs, and he sang it from the heart. He did not sing it well, mind you, but he sang it from the heart. When William sings that "she looks like a flower, but she stings like a bee", you can tell that he is speaking from personal experience. It is because of this honesty, coupled with his winning optimism, that made William an internet legend, keeping his fandom alive long after being shot down by the American Idol judges. You bang, Mr. Hung. You bang.

Boom Goes The Dynamite.

A Ball State student steps in to do the sports stegment for the college news program. It goes bad. So bad. So bad he inserts his own random catch phrase into the segment. At least it's better than dead air. Just painful to watch.
On the positive side, the catch phrase became legendary and began being used by other local news sports anchors.

Leonard Nimoy sings... The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins!

Okay, actually, this sucks SO BAD, in SO MANY WAYS, that it is so beyond suck that I had to include it here. Mr. Spock. Singing about hobbits. While strange hippie Vulcan/Hobbit dancers frolic around. There is nothing more frightening on all of the internet, I assure you.
