We're huge fans of the bizarre and creative parody work of Keaton Patti (see this hilarious Bot written Olive Garden Commercial script) and the Austin Powers movies hold a nostalgic, groovy place in our hearts. So we'd imagine a cross between the two would be a pretty fantastic thing. And boy, is it.

Choosing beggars never fail to leave us scratching our heads. Why bother asking what the price is for something when you're coming into the situation with a nice whopping $0 in your mind? In this case, I guess they reached so far as to offer shelling out for the postage fee. My god! How gracious. But seriously, what compels these choosing beggars to do the things they do. And then without fail they'll play the victim and call the seller who's just trying to make money off their skills, "rude." What a nightmare.

Did you know it was possible to play video games using musical instruments? Like not Guitar Hero, but games like James Bond. Yeah, I had no idea. This is amazing. Gamer Jackson Parodi manages to speedrun "GoldenEye 007" using a piano as a controller, and it's a sight to behold.

The security guard went as far as to pull his gun on a freakin' deputy sheriff. Then he went on to call the cops on the cops and carefully omitted the fact that the guy was literally in uniform. Hot damn.

The internet's seemingly always in full supply of people ready to spew a whole bunch of blatant BS. These morons were put on blast for trying to deceive other people online.

Not everything has to be extremely clever in order to be funny. There's a time for well-thought out jokes, and there's a time for exceedingly dumb puns and grotesque observations. While these quips, memes and dad jokes may be stupid, they are technically correct.

Reporter Marshall Allen shared a recent viral Twitter thread about a story he covered that makes for one true emotional rollercoaster. This story involves a shady personal trainer/terrible dad who spent years posing as a doctor and billing the nation's top insurers, while scamming millions in the process. It's being referenced as a case study in how health insurers make it easy to scam millions off of people. All around a deeply unsettling story.

You may come out of this feeling smarter, but there's almost no chance that you'll fell better about the world. While we really enjoy messed up facts, we haven't been able to recover so quickly from having our worldview decimated so early in the day.

This Tumblr thread focuses on how big of an impact you can make upon someone else in the middle of a terrible financial struggle, if you but do some good recklessly. You never know how far $10 can go for a struggling parent, their kid, etc.

Holy crap, how do you even get in a situation like this? We've seen people want to disown their sister, but this is an even bigger piece of family drama. And what are you gonna do? Send your step-daughter to prison? Is that even the right thing to do? Defrauding your parents into debt is a terrible move, but how many lives do you wanna ruin here? All in all, this isn't a fun situation to be in.

We've seen all kinds of hot tempered choosing beggars who get really upset when someone won't take their wet 3-dollar bill in exchange for a Playstation 4, but we rarely run across folks who are willing to fight in exchange for a photoshoot. Maybe these guys really are hardcore.

The internet's in no short supply of cursed images to make you deeply uncomfortable, and generally shake in your bones. There's just something strange and infectious about scrolling through images that test your tolerance levels for stomaching the bizarre, the cursed, the cringeworthy. If you need a dose of something a bit lighter after looking at these, you might want to check out these blursed images. They're basically cursed images but funny.

There are more than a few satire websites out there, and there's a lot of softheaded nincompoops who believe it. Sometimes reading a joke headline can be confusing for a person who lacks critical thinking skills. Often they get angry because they don't understand what's going on. Sometimes, even more distressingly, they think that the headline is good news and share it with their friends. It's fun to laugh at their confusion, but eventually it just kind of gets sad.
