h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A bit of Youtube crawling from there took me to this one:

Not YT but it had to be posted here.

I keep reading the title as 'Any YouTube _germs_ you'd care to share?' No, but I did have a cold a while ago. Will that do?

Is that what they mean by a 'viral video'?

just check out the embedded video of a Google Office.

Anybody else want to work for Google?

I love that the restaurant is called Milliways.

I wonder if the cleaner is as positive about the place!

Dennis Leary on MTV

OK, not strictly true since we weren't actually a country yet, but it is funny. (And it has a bit part by Blair):

Word up

and now - the words (are) up.

OH my that was terrible I regret even thinking of it.)


RD: Ladies and gentlemen, we are on the cusp of a glorious age. The age of: The Machine!

Audience: Eeep!

_RD: We appreciate your concern; it is noted and stupid; after all we are scientists and much, much smarter than you but perhaps a little demonstration would set your minds at ease.

IDiot: Hey Boris! Look at this!

Boris: Big deal. Natural selection creates that sort of thing everyday.

IDiot: Natural selection! I think there's something else going on here.

Boris: Big Gadget - this is Little Tool: we've got ourselves a situation.

Boris: Arrrgghhhh......aiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! SPLAT.

RD: I wish I could take full credit for The Machine's development; for it's efficient expulsion of so-called scientists; it's unwavering rejection of your quaint though ludicrous notions about the origins of life. But the story began well before I arrived on the scene

RD: For that: we present this little ditty....

------------

My name is D to the I to C to the K,
Yeah I'm the Dickie D, I gots my PhD
and comin' your way on the Youtube
to bust your world view
so just listen to me
and don't you argue.

You see, this battle's been ragin' since Zeus was on the bottle,
'tween Science like Democritus
and Faith like Aristotle,
who said the mover was unmovin' like some magic trick
but that's no good logic,
my posse is far too quick for this religious shtick.

Cos science is the only way to know y'all,
you stand with me y'all,
or you can fall y'all

So go ahead and take your pick...

ES: Yeah you tell him Rick ...
CD: Cos if you don't know me ...

RD: YOU DON'T KNOW DICK!!

Chorus : Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he's smarter than you he's got a science degree!
Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he's smarter than you he's got a science degree!

SH:On the shoulders of midgets we built up this machine,
DD:YEAH!!!

RD: Science silenced that watchdog wingnut Paley
growing stronger and harder almost daily.
Storming Wilber by force,
as we framed the discourse
that faith and science are split in schismatic divorce.

Then Darwin took to the seas
to see what no one had seen,
and ever since then ... we've been ...increasingly keen.
They may never adore us, but they'll no longer ignore us,
give it to 'em PeaZee, hit these dicks with the chorus!!!

PZ: Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he's smarter than you he's got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he's still smarter than you he studied biology!

Then there was Darrow dukin' it out with the straight and the narrow,
a ragin' bull in the ring, he did his thing,
and took it on the chin like he was Bobby De Niro.

We might have lost at Scopes,
beaten down by the dopes,
and the stooges of Popes, but in losin' we coped,
becomin' more than we hoped.
Creationists slipped
on the soap of their own slippery slope.

What was impossible, improbable, is now wholly unstoppable,
Untoppleable, the Dick Doc'll roll up
as you creationists foldup
you haters talkin' bull,
don't you know that this Dick is un-****-frickin' blockable ...

PZ: Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he's smarter than you he's got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he's still smarter than you he studied biology!

Now the machine of our making, sees culture ripe for the taking,
Cos I'm the rappinest, rabidest atheist who
unlike the Catholic, the Muslim or even the Jew,
believes that no God but science could ever be true.
Hell!
If I was dyslexic I'd even hate "dog" too.

Time to open your eyes, get yourself wise...
The age of science will rise, to be religion's demise,
and while you churchies all cry,
shouting: 'why God? Oh why?,'
I'll still be poppin' my collar earning my dollars in Allah.

SH: What
PZ: What
CD: Yeah! Say what?

PZ: Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the phd,
he's smarter than you he's got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he's still smarter than you he studied biology!

Chorus : Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he's smarter than you he's got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he's still smarter than you he studied biology!

Key.
RD: Richard Dawkins
ES: Eugenie Scott
SH: Sam Harris.
DD Dan Dennet
CD: Charles Darwin
PZ: PZ Myers

What is both hilarious and rather sad about the 'Expelled' rap satire is so many comments, both on Youtube and on Pharyngula reveal quite a few fail to recognize satire

And yes, Clive, that really was terrible

From Charlie Brooker:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b7mwTK564o

If I'm honest, one of the most shocking things I've ever seen. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Please kill me now

Wait your turn.
