Oooooh this reminds me of once I had the pleasure to assist a nice woman at the gas station. She was in a car she was not familiar with and couldn't find the lever to open the tank cover. I searched inside the car but finally went to the tank cover and pressed it. Voila!

I can't laugh....I hired a Mercedes Sprinter van, and couldn't find the fuel cap door. When I did locate it, couldn't open it by pressing fob and looking for lever and only by accident did I discover one need to open the passenger door (UK) to release it!

I worked at a car wash a few years ago over summer for extra cash. Since I was the only person who knew how to drive a stick I was the one driving the cars into the tunnel (full service car wash).
Prior to that the newest model of car I'd driven was a 2000 model.
There were more than a couple cars with the new "keyless" ignition setups that I literally couldn't figure out how to START! (although I was exposed to literally hundreds of unfamiliar car models with that gig)

I'm sure most of these Youtube "hilarious" videos are staged in very much the same way as those home videos from "America's Funniest Home Videos" show from the 90's.

How many have seen the wiener dog videos? I know the guy who does the videos. I posted this on his FB page.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Here's one that happened not too long ago. I wonder for how long that captain's pay will be docked for damages?

From the video it's quite obvious the workers forgot to place the barricades until it was too late and then one of the workers realized what happened and then placed the barricades.

I think what saved the driver was that the car landed on one side of the rear bumper. Had it landed completely upside down from that altitude, there's no way the driver would have survived.

Go ahead, give it a try. Mother Bear with 5 cubs would eat you up so fast.
I know she will. That's why I am saying that guy needs to shut up. There is nothing he can do about the bears being in the swimming pool.

Not hilarious but I did get some “funny” feelings “down there” while I watched this.
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
Just to finally get rid of this drivel, here's what the SimHQ I knew always respected and talked about, especially combat heroes.
there were times when our dead mates or relatives were with us in the trenches for days or weeks! You couldn't haul them out with out getting shot!
Think about that the next time some pansy whines about being "triggered".
Would have loved to have bought him a beer or ten.

The narration here is simply comedy gold. This comment got my extra attention:
“The lips…well they’re made for other things besides eating and playing the flute”.
That has to be the greatest use of innuendo ever!

You can't go after the line and throw the ball ...
I am far from an expert on the subject, but I think beyond the line of skrimmage you are still allowed to play backward passes. Looks a bit like a Rugby game (no expert on that one either), except that in Rugby you are only allowed max. 4 backward passes before you have to kick the ball.
Last but not least, the toss at the 20secs mark was already borderline, and the fumble at the 1 minute mark would be considered a forward pass - by rugby rules

You could have been a little bit more elaborate - totally wrong, or is there no limit on the number of backward passes, or what?

To each their own of course. It's also really not fair to compare the two series to each other since they were targeted at very different audiences. The original BSG was mainly targeted at kids and teens while the reimagined BSG was targeted exclusively at adults.

Here's another video which I first noticed a couple of years ago. I've always known that John Lennon had a rather acerbic sense of humor and it really shows here when he's talking to Dusty Springfield.

John Cleese has done a lot of commercials over his career.

Yup. One of his earliest I remember was for Sony's C6 Betamax video recorder(If I remember correctly) where he had a cat to demonstrate how easy it was to use.
Yes, I bought one and it was horribly expensive. This was around 1980-81.

A few days ago I was looking for a better chuck for my lathe and ended up going down a "Chuck Yeagers Air Combat" rabbit hole for about 15 minutes and ran across this PDF issue of Computer Gaming World from 1991, browse through and look at the ads for games / PC's and their prices:

Thank you for sharing this link. I just browsed through the entire PDF and it was a great trip down memory lane for me!

Working in IT and having to support these types of conferences I can definitely relate to this video:

Maybe a small number do but FL also gets a ton of people from NJ as well.
And that's just domestic migration. There's also the foreign immigrants that FL gets from Latin America.

While Florida is a well-known retirement destination, I was surprised at the industrial scale. There was a news article on TV here about retirement villages encroaching onto other peoples land, so had a look on Google maps. You need to get through a rudimentary security barrier to get in to these things but they are supposed to be public roads, then there are many square miles of housing, all with immaculate lawns but very little signs of life. What do these people do? If it's anything JG Ballard's take on gated communities, it's not going to end well.
Sorry, I don't have a hilarious video to share.

Even here in England, I was deluged with enticing offers and deals on Florida retirement homes when I reached retirement age (good grief) ten years ago. Can't imagine anything worse my judgment having been somewhat clouded by YT video viewing. If an armadillo hole doesn't cause one break your leg, shot iguanas falling on one's bonce will. Then there is the pythons and 'gators, and slightly miffed manatees of course.

And even then, FL has got nothing when compared to Australia.

^^^ That dude in the video likes to say that street G name.
Just celebrating a facet of our quirky English history. As was mentioned, my nearest City, Worcester, had such a street where the bawds and Stews plied their lewd and licentious trade. The name was changed when the Royalsits were defeated there in the final battle of our Civil Wars in September 1651. Along with all 'graven images' in churches and the Cathedral defaced or destroyed. Bad King John has his tomb in the crypt of Worcester Cathedral and Cromwell's troop knocked his nose off, an indignity suffered by many such tomb effigies, when they utilised the building, already 400 years old by that time as a stable.
As to other nearby names to snigger at; we have Minge Lane, (perhaps unknown in US colloquialism) Dog Butt Lane, and I live adjacent to Piddle Brook, aptly name as much sheep and cattle urine flows into it.

I had no clue what "minge" meant until I heard someone say that word on a TV series called "Turn". I looked it up online and was instantly embarrassed.

"A Japanese man who likes to pretend to be a dog has taken his odd behaviour a step further as he went out for a walk in public – sniffing other dogs along the way as well as rolling around on his back"
Odd is a massive understatement.

My eldest daughter, (head of Training and Support for a Greyhound and Lurcher charity here) was attending a seminar at the Battersea Dogs' Home in London, where she had to give a presentation on observing greeting behaviour between dogs being introduced to a prospective re-homing with a resident dog. The media projector failed, so she grabbed a colleague and improvised the talk through the 'medium of interpretive dance' as she described it. I heard that this was so hilarious that it lifted the jaded mood of the attendees after a long week!

Not exactly hilarious, but interesting for anyone planning a sailing trip:
Group of orcas attack and sink vessels off Iberian Peninsula (same video, in case embedding doesn't work) A bit strange that throughout most of the video they speak about orcas, but at the screen at the end they call them killer whales, despite seconds earlier stating that there has nobody been harmed... :ahoy
This was actually an article featured on the Wikipedia start page today: Iberian orca attacks I am sure they just want to play a little...
... just like cats play with a mouse they caught?!?!
He was one of my favorite SNL cast members way back when I watched the show regularly when I was in high school and college. Not only was his premature passing sad but the way he died was even worse.
