A week or so ago, this little speech made its way around the internet a few million times. And rightly so. I haven’t seen a video so worthy of its viral status since Star Wars kid took our breath away a few years back.
This gentleman has an impressive four degrees! So he must know what he’s talking about… he couldn’t just be memorizing quips and headlines from various news corporations. I’m surprised one of his degrees isn’t in jazz performance, because the words he chose to emphasize in his speech could rival a Miles Davis solo in its level of unpredictability.
While Phil didn’t mention a single issue, his voice did crack 30 or so times.
I think it’s pretty safe to say that different styles of music tend to lend themselves better to different emotions. It’s not any sort of rule, just a notion. Western classical music from the 17th and 18th centuries tends to relax us, modern and avant-garde music tends to scare us, metal music tends to fire us up, and rock and hip-hop usually makes us want to get jiggy.
So, when a tune comes along that plays with these tendencies, I can’t help but be a bit excited. Here, Cee Lo Green takes listeners on a very angry journey, but makes you want to dance at the same time… it’s very strange and awesome. Enjoy!
You can say anything you want about the two girls featured in today’s post, but you can’t say they don’t have a big pair of cojones. They don’t take any flak from anyone, even helpful flak. And by the end of the video, I think it’s pretty clear that they should have their own reality show. It’s probably the only thing they’d be good at…
While a large amount of today’s most popular products manage to breakdown often or are designed to breakdown often, you may be pleased to know that there are still some products being made to last. For instance, the common tennis ball: simple in design, practical to use, and as strong as the dirt we walk on. In fact, it may be stronger!
With the help of one of the tennis world’s angriest – but extremely talented – athletes, Andy Roddick, we will see that a tennis ball can even put a scar in the Earth.
How do you top that without making Roddick into an anime tennis ninja?
This really brings me back to my childhood days watching enormously buff and agile actors fight each other in the “squared circle.” Most of us knew this as professional wrestling, but we all know it would have been crap without the brilliant drama. And the drama also dictated who won the fight. So, from time to time, a small guy would beat a big guy at his own game…
But in reality, I have to think that somewhere in the back of most people’s minds, there is this thought about what you would actually do in a confrontation with somebody bigger than you are. Whether it be how to talk your way out of the situation, how to end the fight quickly, or how to fall down with grace and without a concussion. Regardless, at the end of this vid, one of these young ladies will wish that this situation was all written out and rehearsed beforehand.
Here at the Daily Angry, we tend to look at anger as a way that people lose control of themselves. When caught on camera, we get to laugh, or think, or sometimes cry (you know who you are). But here, I don’t think Mr. Rooney has lost control at all. If anything, he seems to have better aim of his shot than he had in England’s 4-1 loss to Germany in this years World Cup tournament!
I feel bad for the camera man, but that’s guilt by association for you:
I don’t think I have it in me dislike Wayne Rooney anymore…
