Funny Video Clips

To this day, I truly enjoy using herbal essence shampoo, as does the woman in the video below, which shows a funny shampoo commercial.

As a young boy, I took great care of hair, washing with the herbal essence shampoo that belonged to my sister. I used it secretly, mind you! I felt that if anyone knew, especially my sister, I’d be laughed out of the house. As a newly minted teenager, how could I support the “big boy” image I was trying to portray with the use herbal shampoo? Not that I was an excessive groomer. It’s just that I would keep clean by using plain old soap and water, and the cheapest shampoo available in the stores.

Still, I longed for herbal shampoos! These shampoos have all kinds of amazing natural herbal ingredients, like lavender, green tea, rosemary, and sage. I loved the fragrance. It sounds stupidly corny, but I was always captivated by the scent of herbal essence shampoos. Certain smells can transform you to another time and place. It could be a place you’ve been to before but had forgotten about, or a place you’ve never been. Believe it or not, herbal shampoos are made with this very effect in mind. Shampoo herbs are selected in part for their strong therapeutic benefits, or so the shampoo companies like Clairol claim. But that’s not the whole story. With the right combination of herbs, the aroma can be overwhelmingly captivating, even with a singular aroma like coconut (always reminds me of my honeymoon in the tropics!). Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised a bit if you could become addicted to the luscious scent of certain herbs.

Turns out too that herbs can have other positive effects on your hair. Over the years, my hair had become dry, devoid of any hint of oil, as I tried different shampoos, conditioners, and styling mousses, and I discovered that herbal shampoos offer a way to help this condition and restore essential oils for healthy looking hair. One such ingredient in these shampoos is aloe, and it works great to restore hair to a rich texture, far from dry and almost brittle. So, hats off, literally, to show off new, clean, vibrant hair with a great luster and shine, all thanks to herbal shampoos.

What’s more, herbal shampoo companies are adding herbs to their shampoos to help curb hair loss. I haven’t looked into this to find out if it’s true or not, but a friend of mine swears it’s working for him. He was losing his hair at an excessive rate, sporting a noticeably receding hairline of late, getting worse by the month. He started using an herbal shampoo that claimed to cure hair loss and it seems to have restored some of the hair he had lost. Could be, but he may also be secretly using an actual hair restoration treatment in addition to the herbal shampoo. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a recipe to create a home made shampoo with fresh herbs and other ingredients that could also help with bringing back lost hair - something to look into.

Here’s a funny shampoo commercial. Check out the girl in this video using herbal essence shampoo. It’s clear she’s loving every minute of it as she builds up a lather and massages her scalp with the suds. But is it really the shampoo? Watch the for the surprise ending! Very funny.

Next time you need a little excitement in the shower or need to dramatically improve the condition of your hair, try herbal essence shampoo.

Paul Abdul on American Idol Shows Her True Colors, Again!

Are all the rumors over the years about Paula Abdul and her state of mind (or the state of her drunkenness) came to a head again the other night on American Idol. She made a comment about one of the contestant’s, Jason Castro, first song. Then, without batting an eye, she went on to make her judgmental comment about his 2nd song. And there’s the rub! Jason Castro had only sung his first song at this point! Duh Paula! Hello???

This is really pretty funny, as are the reactions from fellow judge Randy Jackson and show host Ryan Seacrest. Of course, Simon Cowell gives her a demeaning look that could kill when Paula tries to explain herself.

Too funny! Here’s the video:

Yup, Paul Abdul makes quite a name for herself again on American Idol.

Today is Boston Marathon 2008 day.

The 112th running of the Boston Marathon running race is today, April 21, 2008. The city of Boston, Massachusetts sponsors this race every year on the third Monday of April, which is also the Patriots’ Day holiday. Participants, both male and female, come from all over the world and range in experience from rank beginners to seasoned professional runners. The start time is around 12 noon EDT.

The length of the course is 26.22 miles, with the marathon route stretching from Hopkinton to the center of Boston. This course is considered one of the most difficult in the world, primarily because of the hills in Newton, Mass. The final one of these hills is known as Heartbreak Hill, which occurs in mile 20 and challenges the runners with a 1/2-mile climb.

You can get a complete Boston Marathon course map here.

Bottom line if you want to compete: First you must qualify. And before that, you need to get into shape with the proper training well in advance of race day.

It’s grueling work, but it can be rewarding. Check out this funny video clip of two guys doing their own unique brand of training for the marathon. It’s pretty funny, but I don’t think we’ll see them on the leader board today (which you can see in real time here).

Okay - enough of the funny stuff! This race and course is serious business. Have a great Patriots’ Day and enjoy the Boston Marathon 2008 edition.

A very funny video showing clips of bloopers from the talking heads at ESPN.

ESPN - the best name in sports, right? Also one of the funniest! Take a look at this video with the ESPN guys making hilarious mistakes as they report the news from sports. You’ll see them get so that they can’t even talk straight anymore as their laughter takes over and doesn’t let go!

Pretty funny stuff:

I’ll be sure to add more funny video clips of sportscasters and other TV broadcasters - they’re all good for this sort of thing from time to time!

This funny video from the 1930’s really over delivers on its promise to show and tell what clothes will look like about 70 years in the future, i.e. in the year 2000. It’s pretty funny! Fashion in the year 2000 from a Depression-Era perspective.

You’ve never seen our most recent former Presidents (and current President) like this before! This funny video (music video, actually) shows the “lighter” side of our Presidents singing the National Anthem (Star Spangled Banner), lip synching to the fast rock n roll arrangement, and hip-hoppin’ with the dance moves to boot!

A lot of work went into this. It’s very well done, and very funny… a real keeper!

Here’s a tickling video clip showing a guy pulling a tickling prank, right in public. He uses a red feather on a stick and comes up behind unsuspecting people who are walking, standing, or just sitting.

As they turn around, he quickly pulls the feather stick back down to hide it and quickly puts a cell phone to his ear to appear perfectly innocent. He’s absolutely brilliant at it - nobody who’s been the target of his tickle prank has a clue it’s him!

Be on the lookout right here for more free tickle videos!

Well I’m pretty fed up at this point with all the Eliot Spitzer news from this week. But I have to post this since it IS David Letterman’s Top 10 List, afterall, and who can beat that?

Here’s Letterman’s Top 10 List of Eliot Spitzer excuses for getting involved in that high-end prostitution ring, the revelation of which caused Spitzer’s fall from grace and his resignation as New York governor earlier this week.

Sure - when you don’t feel like doing the driving yourself, have your baby do the driving for you!

Okay, this is pretty funny, but think about what’s happening here. Think of the immense danger this kid is in… think collission, accident.

Duh! Stupid parent to be sure!

And look how the baby is positioned: In the steering wheel! What about when they have to take a turn? Oh, no problem! Just watch this funny - or stupid - video and see for yourself: The baby goes round and round. Unbelievable!
