The Friday Video Round Up: Will Ferrell, Big Angry Fat Guys, Al Gore, and the Hummer Hybrid

It’s Friday; you ain’t got no job… and you ain’t got shit to do. So roll one up (a burrito), sit back, and relax to a few funny ass videos.

• Big Angry Fat Guy 

 

I’m surprised this guy didn’t have a heart attack half way through this. The fat Guy From Boston unloads on Global Warming, Al Gore, and Ben Affleck. While I don’t agree with his angle, I have to give him credit for his angry crazy man passion.

• The Hummer Hybrid

 

I want a Hummer Hybrid. It’s gets 5MPG on the highway!

• Will Ferrell, aka George Bush, on Global Warming

 

An oldie, but goodie. Will Ferrell is the man.

• Artfully Shot Macro Video of Popping Pimples

 

OK, this one isn’t green at all but is a disturbingly good way to end the week. If you’ve ever gotten a secret thrill from popping a pimple, this one is for you. Squeamish readers might want to skip this one.

Enjoy your Friday!

Hyper Efficient Car Built in 1973 Gets 377 MPG!

Damn, check this out- a guy just bought a car built in 1973 that gets 376.59 MPG.

The Seattle PI has it:

Don’t choke on your organic soy-double-decaf-fair-trade-carbon-neutral macchiato, but how does 376.59 miles per gallon sound? Makes your Honda Civic hybrid look Hummeresque, doesn’t it?

That number doesn’t come from some manta ray-shaped, wind tunnel-vetted carbon fiber space car. No, it’s from a chop-top, steel-frame 1959 Opel T-1 (think melting jelly bean, but uglier). And the record was set in 1973 in a contest sponsored by Shell Oil Co.

The car doesn’t look very comfortable, but at the same time it was made 34 YEARS ago. The Auto Industry is a bunch of wankhammers who need to get their efficiency groove on. If we could hit 376 MPG 34 years ago I’m sure we can get our current average up another 20 or 30 MPGs. We just need the people who make the cars to grow a set and take some leadership on the issue.
