By now you’ve seen Chad and Steve (YouTube’s co-founders) in this giddy video that I’m calling “I just can’t wait to be king.” We bring you now a hysterical parody that features overdubbed voices of Chad and Steve, who appear stoned and delirious.
He’s evil. And that makes it hard for EvilFist (see videos) to meet ladies. But this photo was submitted to him by a potential mate. He thinks she’s kinda hot, even with the Tammy Fay makeup job. Isshehotornot.com?
