Olympic Hilarity

Not surprisingly, the Olympics provides great inspiration for comedy writers. Here's a bit of Olympic humour to help begin the 2012 send-off.

For years, The Onion has been writing article on the Olympics. Two-hundred thirty-four of them to be exact. (And while Olympic Torch Melts Winter Olympics isn't exactly timely, we're already laughing.)

For another overview of humour through the years, NBC has an article of the Top 10 Olympic Spoofs: Lampooning the Games.

Seven-medel-winner-swimmer, Ryan Lochte has already made two videos for FunnyorDie, one on peeing in pools, and the other with Patrick Stewart on scalped tickets.

Geronimo Inns has created a series of videos aimed to help the visitor to London navigate odd social customs. They cover manners, queuing, sport and weather, with weather having the absolute funniest moment. "When doing an Internet search on the weather, be sure to type please after London weather. And then thank your computer for delivering the results."

And who can forget our favourite gaff of all: Patsy and Eddie with the torch?

Five of the Best

Things we love, things we want, things we want to do, and things we think are just cool, interesting, or at least noteworthy.

  1. If you wish you lived in a luxurious, hip barns like we do, then you'll want to click here to find out about renting one for a self-catering holiday.
  2. We haven't exactly fact-checked this Abercrombie & Fitch slam, but we're certainly open to it (and think you should be, too).
  3. Yes, you fine young thing, this pop up supper club at the Sanderson is exactly where you need to be dining on the weekends in May and June.
  4. Hold on tight, folks: 24 is returning as a 12-part mini-series next summer.
  5. We might tire of this chandelier after one night, but no doubt, it would be an interesting night.
