three videos in one post - humorous news reports everyone has seen before

ok instead of wasting the next three days getting these things out of the way i figure i'll just list em off right now. we'll start with the good old "LEPRECHAUN IN MOBILE ALABAM CLIP", which has 9 million views or so, so it's safe to assume you've already seen it.




not much to say about this video. i mean it's meant to be funny obviously but unlike most things of this nature, it actually is really funny. call it played at this point but the residents of the crichton area in mobile, alabama talking about their intentions to catch a leprechaun is worth watching at least... once a year or so. i can't remember the last time i watched this until today but i can still remember every bit of dialogue

things to watch for:

- "WHO ALL SEEN THE LEPRECHAUN SAY YEAAAAH"
- the "amateur sketch"
- "could be a crackhead that got hold to the wrong stuff and it told him to get up in the tree and play a leprechaun!"
- that dude's special leprechaun flute?
- infamous "i want the gold" quote

...ok here's something i think is a lot funnier. the good ol' BUB RUBB AND LIL SIS clip, which if youtube views are to be seen as a gauge of popularity is only about 1/9 as popular as the leprechaun video, which is a damn shame:




now see this is actually funny, because it's not supposed to be. it's basically your average alarmist news report about some new menace terrorizing the community, but due to the inclusion of two of youtube's most lovable characters, "lil sis" and "bub rubb" this video took on a life of it's own

things to watch for:
- THE WHISTLES GO WOO WOO
- "that's only in the morning.... you supposed to be up cooking breakfast for somebody"
- basically anything said by bubb rubb and lil sis... truly the voice of the people
- bubb rubb and lil sis running the stop sign and almost getting killed

...now here's my favorite of the bunch, and a video you don't hear quite as many people talking about. news "blooper" videos are hardly my preferred brand of comedy, but this video is really a cut above. of course it's the old classic "GRAPE STOMPING GONE WRONG" clip!




things to watch for:

- really nothing until this bitch falls
- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT NOISE YOU ARE MAKING! WHO DOES THAT
- the really obviously fake "concern" being shown by the newscasters back in the studio
- the non-chalant attempt the female studio newscaster makes to try to keep things rolling by saying "OKAY!"
