The Best of Twaggies: Funny Tweets Turned Into Even Funnier Illustrations

By Hazel Chua on 05/01/13 • Leave a comment!

Twaggies3

People tweet the darndest things. A group called Twaggies has been scouring Twitter feeds in the quest to find the funniest, craziest, and weirdest updates from people. They then give these tweets a visual representation that are even more hilarious than the original statuses that they were based on.

Twaggies has been around since 2009 and they’re on their merry way to publishing illustration number 1000 (they’re currently at 978!) As we countdown this impressive milestone, we’ve parsed through their archives to bring you the best of Twaggies…so far. More hilarity after the break!

Better Than I Imagined: If Disney Made ‘Game of Thrones’…

By Hazel Chua on 04/17/13 • Leave a comment!

A lot of people were up in arms when news broke that Disney had acquired LucasFilm and was planning to make another Star Wars movie. I guess the decision made sense since the series was made to be relatively child-friendly. But can you imagine what would happen if HBO gave the reigns of Game of Thrones to Disney?

Some people did more than just imagine, and the result is this video–and it’s surprisingly good. But maybe that’s because I grew up with Disney and princesses always have a soft spot in my heart. Watch the clip and judge for yourself.

The New Planking: Dragon Ball Moves Recreated IRL

By Hazel Chua on 04/05/13 • 1 Comment

Dragon Ball IRL

Planking is so yesterday. There’s a whole new brand of silliness in Japan that’s taking over the Internet and it doesn’t involve anyone planting themselves face-first in precarious situations or locations. Instead, this new fad is all about the action.

Japanese schoolgirls are recreating action scenes from Dragon Ball demonstrating attack moves and techniques, and it’s nothing short of awesome. Hit the break to check out more images.

Cable Companies Get the Honest Trailer Treatment–And It Ain’t Pretty

By Hazel Chua on 04/02/13 • Leave a comment!

The deceit begins almost right after you sign the contract and make your first payment to your cable company. “When will the technician come to set things up?”, you might ask. “Oh, they’ll probably drop by your house tomorrow,” the cable rep might respond.

Three days later and the cable guy is still a no-show. You’ll be left waiting at the door with no cable, no Internet, and no more patience. Thus begins the hate-hate relationship that you’ll have with your current cable company and with the one after that, because contrary to how things might appear–all cable companies are the same.

Check out the hilarious parody above that speaks the absolute truth about cable companies.

Kickstartin’ Terror: COBRA Needs Your Help to Rebuild Cobra Island

By Hazel Chua on 03/21/13 • 1 Comment

Cobra Kickstarter

Think you’ve seen the last of Cobra? Think again. They’re getting ready to wreak terror once more, but before they can do that, they need to rebuild their secret headquarters that was destroyed by GI Joe. Unfortunately, that’s going to require a whole lot of money–money that the Cobra organization doesn’t have. Rallying behind them are their colleagues Destro and Dr. Mindbender, but they can’t spare that much cash as well.

The solution? Kickstarter.

Face Stealer App: Letting People Steal Other People’s Faces, One Face At a Time

By Hazel Chua on 03/19/13 • Leave a comment!

Face Stealer

Eyes too small? Nose a little bit crooked? Cheekbones too high for your taste? Everyone has something to complain about how they look. Perhaps it wasn’t the intention of the Face Stealer app to make people feel better about their looks, but I think that’s what most people will end up feeling after they ‘steal’ a couple of faces and try them on for size using this app.

So it’s not the most sophisticated face merging app there is, but it does the job fairly well and it’s for free.

So Stupid But So Funny: Batman Replaces Characters in Classic Movie Scenes

By Hazel Chua on 03/15/13 • Leave a comment!

Everybody knows Batman. I mean, who wouldn’t recognize him in his black mask with the furrowed brows and pointy ears? When Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy ended last year, fans cried buckets and wished there were more movies to come featuring the caped crusader. And come they will, since a reboot is already in the works.

Until that time comes, though, you’ll have to settle with the countless spoofs and parodies people are making based on the Dark Knight. This particular one we’ve got here shows Batman replacing a host of other characters in some of the most popular classic movies of all time, including Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Home Alone.

Google Ass: Strap It to Your Butt–Because That’s How Conan Likes It

By Hazel Chua on 02/25/13 • Leave a comment!

Conan O’Brien is back with more of his hilarious antics, and this time, he’s got Google Glass in his sights. In case you haven’t heard of it yet (although it’s highly probably that you already have, considering how much media attention it’s gotten lately), Google Glass is a revolutionary piece of eyewear that integrates camera, maps, translator, messenger, and Siri-like functionalities into a compact and wearable accessory. Just think of it as the glasses you’ve always wanted to have, but, well, never did.

Because he’s bitter that he wasn’t chosen to be an Explorer (that’s Google-speak for beta tester), he’s come up with a parody product called Google Ass that you’re supposed to strap to your butt. Nah, I’m just kidding… Conan came up with this fake product because it’s funny, and after watching his short clip featuring his faux revolutionary ass-wear, you’ll be nodding in agreement.

Because Laughter is the Best Medicine: Two Whole Minutes of People Falling Off Segways

By Hazel Chua on 01/22/13 • Leave a comment!

If you carry your Monday blues through to Tuesday, then here’s a hilarious clip that’ll chase them away, at least for the next two minutes. To some people, the Segway is a godsend, a transportation device that takes them where they want to go while making good time. To others, it’s a nightmare just waiting to happen (or rather, just waiting to run them over, in the case of the kid at the 0:15 mark.)

Personally, I have nothing against Segways, although I think they should carry a warning advising people who have absolutely no balance or coordination to not get them because they’ll only be setting themselves up for ridicule, embarrassment, and a whole lot of bruises.
