I Couldn’t GIF the Colbchella Dance Party. Luckily, Someone Else Figured It Out.

You’ve probably seen the StePhest Colbchella ‘013 “Time to Dance” video by now. Unless you’ve been living under a rock or were really busy like me today. If you missed it, here it is (at least for as long as Comedy Central makes it available for embedding):

Because I am always several years behind the times when it comes to the internet, upon seeing the video, I figured I ought to make GIFs of the video, like I recently did for a Dos Equis commercial I found amusing. Alas, Comedy Central has done a good job blocking downloads of their streaming videos. I know some tricks, but not enough tricks.

Vulture, however, obviously knows more than me, or they have access to an actual video file. They have some GIFs up on their site. I hope they don’t mind if I post a few highlights here.

Totally worth it for the Matt Damon Booth.

This Week in WTF, August 2, 2013

– A guy’s friends were helping him move, and decided to poke around under the porch. That’s where they found 37 clowns, and the fuel for a lifetime of nightmares.

– With all due respect to the California University of Management, they might want to have a serious talk with their marketing team.

Just sayin’.

– A nursing home in the Bronx is encouraging its residents to have sex, at least according to a rather sensationalistic headline. This is a “WTF” story more for the response it is likely to generate than for anything inherently odd. The CEO of the facility said it quite well:

Very few nursing homes around the country acknowledged the sexual behavior or intimacy of their residents. We realized that there needed to be a grown-up conversation and a grown-up policies and procedures to govern this behavior…Our position is very strongly that consenting adults who have capacity, this is a civil right of theirs. They do not give up a civil right simply because they are in need of nursing care in a facility. And that our obligation as a nursing facility is to encourage their civil rights, as we would do with respect to voting.

The trick will be figuring this out for dementia patients.

– This GIF is very WTF-worthy, and doesn’t really make me want Pringles:
