It took almost two months of deliberation, but our judges have selected the honorable mentions and winner of the “Weird Comment” contest, which boasts a grand prize of an autographed slice of American cheese. As you won’t likely recall, back on January 5, 2008, I invited you to post the weirdest comments on this TechCrunch…
Boss Takes Highly Personal Calls With Subordinate Waiting
ByNalts
In this video titled “Hang On,” a boss takes a series of highly personal calls and keeps his employee waiting awkwardly. For an online video, it has a better-than-usual story, camera work and “punch” at the end. More of a “sketch comedy” feel than viral video, but done by amateurs. I think we’ll see more…
Napkin Musical Prank Punks Entire Food Court

The folks at Improv Everywhere have done it again. This one gave me goose bumps. A spontanious musical number has an entire food court baffled.

Evacuate New Orleans Please

great one Kevin! i have gotten a dozen of those kinds of calls..
I am working at home all day. My client has my phone number… every time the phone rings, I feel compelled to answer it. By 3:55 I had received:
3 prerecorded calls for the Mayoral race*
1 prerecorded call for the Senate race
1 live call from a company surveying what college I am likely to choose if I graduate high school
*one from the incumbent, two from other sources
No calls from W… I think he was all tuckered out from his call with Nalts, probably slept in…
…er… duh… governer’s race, not mayoral race…
And to think I missed an opportunity to prank call PC.
