Synchronized Office Chairs
They need to work on their choreography, but with some practice they could be medal contenders in the Office Olympics.

They need to work on their choreography, but with some practice they could be medal contenders in the Office Olympics.
Sure, you may think you accompished a lot last week, but you didn't win eight gold medals.
And I bet your week wasn't compressed into a 60-second segment on YouTube:
I felt this way somewhere in the middle of a beach volleyball match over the weekend. But minus the beer and Cool Whip:
This clip is from the Sydney Olympics. It's so funny that part of me wants to think it's a fake, but I don't think you can fake this.
I just wish the two guys doing the voice-over on this could do commentary for NBC and their Olympic coverage this year. How awesome would that be? I would watch the entire Olympic Games if they were. And I can't recall really paying attention to the Olympics since about, oh, 1996.
Here's the clip:
Having a bad day at work? Check out the video below (at the :15 mark a guy face plants into a track hurdle) and then cruise on over to www.failblog.org. Think Lolcatz meets ultimate failures.
Wichita Wingnuts manager Kash Beauchamp is either: a) going absolutely bonkers or b) auditioning for an underarm deodorant commercial.
What is going on in his head?
"I don't like that call so smell my pits, ump!"
I've seen this video clip presented as real. It's not -- it's part of a Gatorade campaign.
But then again, on YouTube it doesn't matter if it's real or not as long as it's entertaining. This is.
Could this be the sneakiest soccer goal in history?
Back in the 1980s, the L.A. Lakers ruled the basketball court and Nancy Reagan was leading the "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign. When the two phenomenons collided, the results were uglier than a Shaq free-throw attempt.
They're supposed to rapping in this video, but it's more like semi-coordinated shouting. It's bad enough they wore the short-shorts on the court, but in the music studio too? Around children?
More questions: Why is Pat wearing sunglasses in the studio? Is that Kurt Rambis or Weird Al? Why are the voices out of synch with the video?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution did a story about the wild pitch in the video below. An except from their story:
Stephens County principal David Friend apologized Monday to the Georgia High School Association for an incident in the Class AAA baseball championship series Saturday in which Stephens County catcher Matt Hill ducked and allowed a pitch from Cody Martin to strike an umpire in the face mask."[The tape] looks bad, and most people who look at it come away with that conclusion," Friend said. "But there have been whacky things that have happened in baseball and high schools, and all I'm going to conclude is that it does need to be investigated. If we're found to be at fault, we'll effectively deal with the situation."

Mariah Carey "threw" the opening pitch at a Japanese baseball game this week. I use "threw" in quotations because it seems more like she dropped the ball.
Then again, you don't see many pitchers come out to the mound in high heels.
ESPN takes on the age-old question of who could score a touchdown first, the bear (named Ted E. Bear, of course) or a football player holding a glazed ham? (from gangrey.com)
This video just goes to show that fantastical match-ups aren't limited to comic book geeks and their Batman vs. Harry Potter what-ifs.
This is the kind of debate the American people demand! If only the wrestlers look more like the candidates they're playing. It looks like they just smacked a blonde wig on a woman and called her Hillary, and "Barack Obama" has ears that stick out so far he looks like Will Smith.
If only this is how they'd decide the nomation, or even the presidency. Except who would the WWE get to play McCain?
You have to give the guy props for catching this bare-handed... then you have to smack him upside the head for dropping it, stopping play, then expecting someone will throw the ball back to him. Sorry, buddy, you drop it, it's gone.
The best part: That he loses the ball while celebrating his catch, and it's all caught on camera.
I think the headline on this entry pretty well explains it.
Tennis player Mikhail Youzhny's frustration at the Sony Ericcson Open in Key Biscayne is becoming the stuff of YouTube legend. Well, at least for this week.
After a bad backhand, Youzhny slammed his racket against his face three times.
My favorite part, the commentator saying, "That had to be a fairly severe impact to draw blood." Yeah, I would think so.
President George W. Bush threw out the first pitch Sunday at the Washington Nationals season opener. Some in the crowd sounded less then thrilled as they booed him when he made his way to the mound.
Clearly there are some college coaches who are extremely... passionate about their teams.
Witness Michigan women's basketball coach Kevin Borseth go off after a recent loss. Make sure to pay attention to his entrance -- that's the best part. Also, he's very passionate about offensive rebounds.
Thanks to our colleague Brian Wacker for sending this my way:
If you want to compare and contrast angry coaches, here's Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy and his rant from last fall. A classic:
So which coach do you think ranted better?
Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard did a dunk, Superman-style, this past weekend at the NBA All-Star slam dunk challenge. Check it out as he flys through the air, cape and all.
Baseball has a rich tradition of pranks, but few have ever been as elaborate as what was pulled this week on Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick. This clip has caught fire on the Internets with more than 1.2 million hits in just two days.
Whatever you say about Packers fans, don’t question their passion. There’s even a band out of Wisconsin that has an album called “The Cheesehead Special,” which is solely composed of Packers-related songs.
If you want to listen to Elroy and the Diehards’ songs such as “Reggie” and “When the Packers Kick Your A**,” click here. Here’s their “hit song”: “We Love Brett Favre.” It’s sung to Toby Keith’s tune “I Love This Bar.”
I noticed this when I was watching the Colts-Chargers game. Any time your fans boo a 15-year-old girl, there’s going to be karmic payback.
Remember the days when the Dolphins were “awesome in the day and magic in the night?” WTN's Kevin Cobb found this clip last month, but it's so good we got to post it twice.
This ESPN segment featuring the new Dolphins head coach is good fun.
If only picking a president were this easy. And if only their ads were this straightforward.
This has to be my favorite "Leave Britney Alone!" parody since Seth Green's clip (which, if you want to search for it in the archives, is part of our top 10 videos of 2007).
North Carolina’s Tyler “Psycho T” Hansbrough challenged the tallest player in college basketball, North Carolina-Asheville’s Kenny George, Wednesday night and it looked something like this:
Even though it’s not the “Super Bowl Shuffle,” this Miami Dolphins rap by Cory and The Fins is a gem.
I know I’m going to regret mentioning this … but apparently Zubaz pants are coming back. Yes, those Zubaz pants. Visit their store here.
We like this stuff. We think about it. And we show you our favorites.
