While I was searching for videos for my DS9 marathon I stumbled across this:

  Love it! I miss Frasier.

I think this is the right place to post this, because it at least does lead to a collection of funny videos, but first you have the opportunity to take part in an important social experiment. What is the funniest Whoopee Cushion sound? 

http://www.soundsfunny.org/

It's a university that is studying why things are funny and they've set up the site in time for Red Nose Day here in the UK. I just realised. You internationally based forin peeps do know what a Whoopee Cushion is, don't you?

Great video, Karsten!

Especially the video at the end was hilarious...


Well, since I just posted in the gaming thread and minutes later found this, I'll add this:

That was brilliant!

I thought that was funny! A worm that disables CPU fan

I think Norton, Sophos, et al, are going to have to admit defeat to that one!

The other day when I went to the cinema, I had to sit through 25 minutes of adverts before two trailers and finally! The bloody film I actually paid to watch.

But, all that said, T-Mobile's latest advert is a cracker...

By the way, this being an international forum, how many ads do you have to sit through at the pictures?

[Najemikon]

Oh yeah. Weirdest advert ever. Remember the Cadbury's gorilla? You ain't seen nothin' yet!

Depends on the cinema, but 20-30 minutes before the movie starts in the big cinemas sounds about right. We often go to small cinemas when watching non-mainstream movies, and there is no or only few adds.

Don't know. Last I went to the theater was for Star Wars The Phantom Menace - I went countless times while I was waiting for my girlfriend to finish work at the theater.

Before that, it was Terminator 2. So you can see I love theater

In my theatre it's about a 20 minutes mix of ads and trailers (way more ads though) then a Langnese spot, then the icecream sellers and then another 10 minutes of trailes. Then the "You may have bought a ticket but we still think you are a movie pirate* and you are trying to copy our movie from this screen and we will sue you" text panel. And then the movie.


* In Germany they have invented the term "Raubkopierer" (Raub = armed robbery, Kopierer = a person who makes copies).

And they show these "nice" spots:

(Yet another movie pirate. But mine has the nicer ass.)

Wow... When did that happen? When I still lived in Germany I remember it being approx 20min of ads and trailers... But it's 30 now? That's crazy!

When I came to Taiwan 12 years ago they would only play a few trailers! I was in heaven. In recent years they have started playing one or two PSAs, then about 5-10 ads before playing 2-3 trailers. All in all it takes about 10-15 minutes, depending where you are and what time it is. I remember I used to watch the matinee shows on Sundays for a while, as they would play the (ads and) trailers before the official starting time. So, if you went in at the correct time the movie would start right away Haven't dome that in a while, so I am not sure if it has changed. --- The IMAX, being more expensive, is annoyance free.

Over here we call them Knock off Nigels.

Can someone really be THAT oblivious to what's going on around him?
