“My Man’s all over Aqua Teen Hunger Force”
Sisiwami is jealous of a cartoon – we wish her luck: Reading up about Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Wikipedia I find out it’s been around since 2000. I’m so relieved my man only got into it in 2007 ‘coz he just can’t get enough and I’m fighting for attention from a pack of french fries and his two mates. OK – so he’s got a mind unlike any other I know (hence…) so if you like stuff that is off-the-wall, twisted and slightly dark, make sure to watch a few episodes of ATHF on YouTube – You’ll LOVE it. You can watch the bag of chips (Frylock), a milkshake (Master Shake) and a hamburger pattie (Meatwad) hanging out with their bad-rock-music-listening neighbour Carl. It’s sick! (as in awesome and gross in this instance) Here’s an intro from Wikipedia: The show is about three anthropomorphic fast food items and their life together in New Jersey. The Aqua Teens were originally billed as a detective crime fighting unit; as the series progressed, however, the crime-solving aspect of the show was quickly abandoned. There is very little continuity between episodes; almost all recurring cast members have died at least once. The focus is instead on character interaction and a pervasive form of sarcastic and surreal humor. Gross out, brutal, and morbid humor were added as the series progressed. ATHF is part of the globally popular adult cartoon package [Adult Swims] that airs on DSTV’s GO TV from 23:00 to 01:00. You can also watch another of my beau’s favourites during Adult Swims like Robot Chicken and there’s also The Brak Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, The Venture Bros, Stroker and Hoop and Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law. Or you can do like my man does and watch a few episodes on YouTube. [youtube]ZptXMISkljc[/youtube] There’s an Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie coming out this year… see IMDB here for...
Friday Laugh – EXCELLENT BEE Ford Bantam ad
Thanks to Cheese for this Friday laugh – watch to the end. We’re not sure if it’s a spoof or a viral campaign by Ford – we await the response. It’s probably illegal to show it so watch while you can! BEE in the flesh....
Bunny Chow is finally here!
Guys peep this… After we heard about the movie middle of last year we thought it would never arrive but it seems the long awaited Bunny Chow movie is finally here! Well actually it opens in SA on Friday 09 March 2007. Bunny Chow follows the raucous and often ridiculous weekend journey of three black comedians and Cope (Jason Cope), a strange and irritating white guy who latches onto this testosterone fuelled posse. Egos run high and careers are at stake as Kags (Kagiso Lediga) an arrogant womaniser, Yusuf (Joey Rasdien) a devout yet conflicted Muslim and Dave (David Kibuuka) a somewhat innocent and naive Ugandan immigrant with aspirations of making it big embark on a roadtrip to Oppikoppi, South Africa’s biggest annual rock festival. The quartet slip out of their normal lives for a few dusty and increasingly absurd days with hopes of mass debauchery, drugs, rampant sex, true love and conquering the rock stages with their comedy but they get a bit more than they bargained for. Dave has one thing going for him, his car. Kagi and Yusuf (established comedians) need a ride to Oppikoppi (three hours out of Johannesburg) where there will be a stand up comedy stage. Dave overhears them complaining about having to take their cars to the dust bowl, that is Rustenburg in winter and offers them a ride. Kagiso and Yusuf leave for Oppikoppi against the wishes of their long suffering girlfriends who suspect they are just going to the festival to get wild and fornicate with other girls. Their journey is filled with mishaps and funny moments of adventure as they travel through Soweto to buy beer and wors, Kagi is booked to perform and alleviate predominantly white farmers stress from the imminent drought, they stop on the side of the road to relieve themselves and leave Cope on the side of the road and there is even a bit of a twisted love story where Dave falls madly in love with Carla (The Marketing Manager of the festival) a Jewish princess type. The film directed by John Barker and produced by Barker, Kagiso Lediga and Leanne Callanan explores the different characters’ relationships with each other set against a gritty urban Johannesburg and it also tests the agility of relations formed by people from different religions and ethnic groups living and surviving together in a contemporary reality. The controlling idea of the film is about relationships be it friends or lovers, ultimately you choose! Click here to check out the...
Ticket Giveaway: Heavyweight Comedy Jam
Heavyweight Comedy Jam Returns, Fitter and Funnier Than Ever Before! This February sees the return of South Africa’s hottest comedy event when the Heavyweight Comedy Jam takes to the Centre Court stage at Emperors Palace, Johannesburg. We are giving away two double tickets, so you and your partner can laugh your butts off and tell us all about it… Fast earning a reputation as the only place to have your funny bone tickled by the best in the business, 94.7 and Emperors Palace will host the first 2007 Heavyweight Comedy Jam on Friday February 9th at 20h00 – and the line-up is guaranteed to send comedy fans into a spin (that is once they’ve recovered from Laila Ali’s super middleweight fight against Gwendolyn O’Neil which takes place just days before!) Heading the side-splitting list of comedic heavyweights is Canada’s Tom Stade who, legend has it, broke out of the deep and dark backwoods to become a star in his home country on the back of such shows as ‘Stade and Confused’. It’s not the first-time that Stade has had South Africans guffawing in the aisles – Johannesburg is among the many international cities that he has played part of an impressive list that includes New York, London and Amsterdam. Known for his offbeat take on a wide range of subject matter, this versatile and compelling comedian has completed a sell-out show at the Adelaide Comedy Festival, and has appeared in a slate of UK comedy shows, including Channel 5’s ‘The Comedy Store’ and BBC TV’s ‘The Live Floor Show’. The list of homegrown heavyweights is just as impressive- with leading comedian, John Vlismas appearing in the Heavyweight Comedy Jam for the first time. Vlismas needs no introduction to comedy fans – over the years his skewered observations and on-point presentation, as well as his commitment to breaking comedic barriers, has earned him a strong following. Darren Simpson will join the event, having recently played a sold-out six-thousand plus show. The now notorious “Whackhead Simpson” wreaks even more havoc on stage than he does as a regular part of the Rude Awakening Breakfast Show with Jeremy Mansfield on 94.7 Also on the bill is the man who is fast gaining a reputation as one of the country’s funniest – Chris Forrest. Dubbed South Africa’s answer to Steve Wright, Chris’ witty and cynical one-line humour is thought provoking and to the point. Totally nerdish and unflappable, his Drew Carey-looks and slowed-up delivery have ensured that audiences take to him enthusiastically and he is racking up a brace of local and international appearances.
