‘All right people, HM is back and we’re done with that “worst of” shit. Who thought of that idea anyway? Like anyone wants to see a bunch of awful Web sites that are just a waste of time.
Well, the joke is on you, suckers. You read the articles and visited the sites. Don’t lie, we know you did. We’re tracking your IP addresses and know where you’ve been surfing, which reminds us, goat porn is disgusting. Stop looking at it.
OK, OK, to make up for the crappy Web sites we’ve thrown your way over the past, umm, month or so, we’re going to present to you a content-heavy comical site that is bound to keep you laughing for seconds to hours, depending upon your attention span and enjoyment of dry humor – or if you have a sense of humor at all.
This week, fine folks, we give to you The Lonely Island. TLI is made up of three filmmakers, although it seems more accurate to say film students, based in Los Angeles, CA. As listed on the site, they are Jorm! Kiv! and Ardy! Their short but explosive (sometimes literally) clips are hit or miss, but more often a hit than not.
For those of you who are in their 30s and up or are Boulder natives, think back to when Trey Parker and Matt Stone got their start in Colorado. Remember watching their first clip that eventually became a cult classic on the Internet, “The Spirit of Christmas.”
Or, remember packing into the Flatiron Theater to watch the hilarious but underappreciated and soon renamed “Alferd Packer: The Musical.” You knew these guys were going to make it and it felt good to know them before the Comedy Central debut of “South Park.”
These three exclamation-punctuated folks probably won’t enjoy that kind of success. Still, thanks to the Internet, such dry wit as theirs can be appreciated from home, regardless of where the filmmakers call home.
Best clip: “Nintendo.” It’ll have you laughing out loud and quoting lines like, “I’m glad I wore these pants” and “That was awkward” until the people around you tell you to stop and that you’re being annoying.
