While I'll always try to keep Friday happy, I've started a new blog on Tumblr.Check out the new site this weekend. Happy Friday.

Yes it's Saturday and not Friday. That was my trick for Halloween. And here's my treat. PC (née John Hodgman) cracking open a CRYSTAL SKULL...of vodka.Keep your costume on all weekend. Happy Friday.

Some weeks you just want things in plain English, like the US Government's advice to the elderly about getting their analog TVs prepared to for the upcoming switch to digital signals. Follow the directions this weekend. Happy Friday.

See more funny videos at Funny or DieSome weeks are full of mudslinging, especially the weeks leading up to a presidential election. That's why you gotta take a step back and listen closely to what the candidates are really saying — like this remix of the first debate.Reserve the right to party with any head of state you want to this weekend. Happy Friday.

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.Some weeks you wish your life was a movie. Or a certain VP's candidacy. Well, here's the Sarah Palin story, given the mock-Disney treatment by the people at College Humor. Put the "ice" in "nice" this weekend. Happy Friday.

While we all saw a financial storm this week, it was only a few days ago that a real storm, Hurricane Ike, hit Texas. And a man in a bear costume. (Thanks to Bri in Chi-town.)Keep your camera on the story this weekend. Happy Friday.

I finally saw the movie Predator for the first time ever last week (crazy, I know) and now this music video/movie mash-up finally makes sense. (Side note: it took 9 months to make and it sounds like it.)Get to the chopper this weekend. Happy Friday.

The Republican National Convention is packing up after a week in the Twin Cities. Speaking of twins, here's a clip from John Stewart's Daily Show highlighting the way certain pundits talk out of both sides of their mouths.Keep it fair and balanced this weekend. Happy Friday.

Ready or not, it's Labor Day — a three-day weekend and the unofficial end of summer. Where'd it go? What'd you do? More importantly, can you sing about those summer nights to your co-workers when you're hanging out by the water cooler?To get you ready, here's the post-summer classic Summer Nights from Grease in Lego stop-motion. And while I'm not buying Lego-Travolta as a pilot with five o'clock

Some weeks you gotta give it up for a good idea. Like compiling the best monster booty hits of all time on one CD. Honestly, I thought this was a gag until I saw the bumper sticker and I realized no one could make that up. (Hat tip to Sam at YouVert.)Get that platinum badonkadonk this weekend. Happy Friday.

In honor of the Olympics, here's former track star Carl Lewis turning in a truly gold medal musical performance. (Close second: Carl's velvety version of the national anthem.)Go for the gold this weekend. Happy Friday.

Some weeks a little jealousy can be inspiring — and I felt both when I became the latest of 7+ million people to see some guy named Matt dancing around the world (hat tip to Sweet Stacey for the link). Not only did he travel the globe, but he also brought some crazy idea of his to life — and got to share it with a ton of people. But that's only part of the reason this makes the cut for Happy

The Dark Knight opens this weekend, which means we have to open the crates and pull out the first Batman we ever knew. And while initial reports say TDK is a masterpiece ("The Godfather II of comic book sequels"), I'm not sure if Bale is capable of the range Adam West brings in this clip.Get to the Batcave this weekend. Happy Friday.

I was on vacation earlier this summer and it's been hard to get back on the Happy Friday saddle. Been racking my brains for some inspiration and came across this fact — today is the anniversary of the Burr-Hamilton Duel, which made me think of the Michael Cera Drunk History video. And while I know the Drunk History clip isn't new, I also know most hitting streaks don't start with a home run — so

Some weeks you gotta pay respects, so this week we're paying them to George Carlin and the English language he had so much fun playing with.Keep it clean this weekend. Happy Friday.

Some weeks you gotta go back to the original - and this week, in honor of Get Smart the movie, here's the original Get Smart TV intro.I always wanted to have a place with an entrance like the one to CONTROL headquarters. Or at least a trapdoor pay phone.Find a cone of silence this weekend. Happy Friday.

In honor of the Scripps Spelling Bee finals this week, here's the most awesome spelling recovery I've ever seen. Ask for the definition and language of origin this weekend. Happy Friday.

Nothing kicks off the summer like Memorial Day Weekend and the start of the summer movie blockbusters. It's a great way to finally break out of the winter rut and find your groove. Unless you're Harrison Ford.Sure, he's back to being Indiana Jones this weekend, but there was a stretch between The Last Crusade and The Crystal Skull that became somewhat familiar, as exceptionally pointed out in the

Some weeks are an embarrassment of riches, like the 3 videos I stumbled across this week. The KISS/Rick Astley "rickroll" mash-up is amazing (thanks to YouVert), the Wiener Poopie is riveting journalism (thanks to G), and Kick My Ass? is proof that kids refuse to let monsters kick their ass.Don't get rickrolled this weekend. Happy Friday.

Richard Pryor - Mafia on FunnyOrDie.comSome weeks you think back to your earlier jobs and the crazy stuff that happened - like Richard Pryor talking about one of his first gigs...being 19 years old...in a club run by the mob. (Props to CG.)Work the crowd this weekend. Happy Friday.

Some weeks you just want to do bad things - like Latarian Milton, the 7-year-old who stole his grandmother's SUV and took it for a spin. (Hat tip to JG for the link.)Keep an eye on the kid driving the car next to you this weekend. Happy Friday.

Some weeks you have to learn from your mistakes. Like me this week. It's Saturday. I goofed.So with that in mind - and the NFL Draft happening today and tomorrow - I give you the Jets greatest draft blunders (thanks to Bri). Hopefully they learn from their mistakes and make the right choice this year.Pick wisely this weekend. Happy Friday.

Some weeks you gotta celebrate yourself, even if no one is willing to go along with you. In honor of that and the end of the NBA regular season, here's Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut with the self-congratulatory play of the year - high-fiving himself after his teammates ignored him.Sink them free throws this weekend. Happy Friday.

You're never too old to learn a new trick - and hopefully you learned something new this week at work. Like how to breakdance the Alfonso Ribeiro way. (Hat tip to Bri for this one.)Get your breakin' and poppin' on this weekend. Happy Friday.

In honor of Shine A Light, Scorsese's new Rolling Stones flick opening this weekend, I found this montage of Stones' songs in movies - quite a few, not surprisingly, shot by Marty himself.Other things to shine a light on, that you might've missed this week...A woman who was ordered to stay away from actor John Cusack has been arrested on suspicion of stalking Cusack and violating a restraining

Some weeks the b-side is the best. Here's a special request from/congrats shout-out to Sweet Stacey for some Friday Funk courtesy of KC & The Sunshine Band.And since you've been working all week, here's some other things you've might have missed...A US Airways pilot accidentally discharged his gun in the cockpit during a flight from Denver to Charlotte, N.C., according to the Transportation

I don't know why this is funny, but it is. Maybe because it's so simple - a cat, some string and some cut-out photos. But it does prove W.C. Fields' line - "Never work with animals or children."Get your disguise on this weekend. Happy Friday.

It's Leap Day. I've always wondered what it's like to be born on February 29 - are you only 1/4 your age because your birthday rolls around every 4 years?Maybe Irving Fields is a Leap Day kid, because he acts as if he's a quarter of his 92 years - especially after writing this catchy theme song for YouTube, called "YouTube Dot Com." (We'll forgive that he calls it "the YouTube.")Tickle some

Sorry about last week, but as the president of this blog I took the week off to celebrate Presidents Day weekend. Speaking of presidents, here's my nominee for the Baby Beatle President - Hero Ha.This kid can rock a house party at the drop of a hat - as long as it's before his bed time and you like Beatle's songs. And as for the police sirens in the background, all I can say to the fuzz is - you

Some weeks you gotta toot your own horn - so here's a little Valentine's project I just finished. It's a music video about the morning after Valentine's Day called Breakfast in Bed. Check out the the full site and spread the love at imadeyoubreakfastinbed.com.Masticate with someone you love this weekend. Happy Friday.

You do you work every week and maybe it's good and maybe it's not so good. But if you could just film what you do in slo-mo with a soaring musical score and add a few explosions, well, then it would be awesome.Seriously, though - these kids can skate - even with the pyrotechnics all around them. (Props to Bri in Chi-town for the link.)Bust an ollie this weekend. Happy Friday.

Some weeks are like a weeklong training session, which means the weekends are like David Brent/Ricky Gervais interrupting the training session in this episode of The Office with his musical stylings.Get some hot love on the Hot Love Highway this weekend. Happy Friday.

Some weeks you gotta know a) how to use your 15 minutes and b) what makes you special - especially as you roll into this 3 day holiday weekend.Australian surfer/party bad boy, Corey Worthington, clearly knows both. (If you need something a little high brow after that, please check out my buddy Tony T's video poetry project for Borders.com.)Rock your famous glasses this weekend. Happy Friday.

Some weeks you gotta follow the beat of your own tabla - like these guys from India covering GnR's Sweet Child O' Mine.Be a rock star this weekend. Happy Friday.

Some weeks you gotta go for the cash money. Like Charles Bronson going to Japan to make a 2 minute ad for something like the Axe Effect circa 1970.Dust off your six-shooters this weekend. Happy Friday.

One of the few things better than a weekend is a long weekend, and the holiday calendar sets us up for two in a row this year.So here's two of my favorite holiday tales conviently housed on YouTube - the first is a new one with a twist at the end, called The Little Christmas Tree, put together by my buddy Chandler in LA. The second has been around a while - Auggie Wren's Christmas Story by Paul

Some weeks you gotta make your own luck - like lil' Bently Green rapping about Ellen. Hey, it got him on the show so I'm not knockin' it.Hitch your wagon to a talented 6-year-old this weekend. Happy Friday.

This Marx Brother's skit from Duck Soup came up in convo a few days ago in reference to physical comedy. As far as applying it to the work week, I guess the lesson is sometimes you just have to fake it. (Side note: this clip seems to be begging for a music mash-up.)Take a closer look at your mirrors this weekend. Happy Friday.

All work takes skill. But Sepak Takraw takes a unique skill set that combines hacky sack with Kenny Loggins music. A-Rod is getting paid close to $300 million and I bet he can't bicycle kick a tennis ball over a volleyball net.Practice your footwork this weekend. Happy Friday.

Sometimes it feels like work is never over. But then the weekend comes and you can put your fingers to better use, like they do in this Daft Punk video for the song Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. (Yes, I'm insanely late to the game on this, but I still like it.) Things don't get interesting until about a minute in and really take off around the two-minute mark. Also, while I don't normally

Good things come to those who wait, says this Guinness ad. And for those of you that have waited for the weekend, I hope you have a good one.Though I hope you don't have to spend 10 million pounds (or $21,103,992 USD) to have a good one this weekend. Happy Friday.

(Note: Beginning is slow - fast forward about 50 seconds.)Halloween was this past week. But did you know that between its Celtic beginnings and the adult playground it is today, Pope Gregory III turned Halloween into a Christian holiday in the 8th century and encouraged people to dress up as saints and give food to the poor?Well, now you do. And in honor of papal co-opting, I give you this bible

Note: Audio is NSFW.Some work weeks feel like a prank gone wrong. With Halloween - possibly the best prank holiday next to April Fool's Day - coming up next week, we're giving you a rare triple treat of tricks gone wrong. (Or right, depending on how you look at them.)Note: The second clip has some NSFW audio because the guy nearly craps his pants.Don't take candy - or full fist facials - from

There's a saying in the ad business, "fast, cheap or good - pick two." And every week, clients pick all three. But it wasn't until this week that I found the perfect example - Solid Gold.You can have fast women dance on cheap sets, but that doesn't mean it's going to turn out good. (It actually takes a lot of time and money to pull off the "strippers dancing ballet to Top 40 music" idea the right

Work time and personal time. That's what we've got to balance every week.But as The Flight of The Conchords reminds us, we also need some quality business time. (I know I'm late to the game on this clip, but it's funny - thanks to Super G for the link.)Keep your business hours open late this weekend. Happy Friday.

Sometimes you gotta call people out during the week - clients... co-workers... that Starbucks barrista who hands you a venti mocha frap when you clearly asked for a grande with the frap on the side...While a terse e-mail usually does the job, Watt White and his band, WWIII, took it to the next level by calling out people through song - namely those people who wear concert tees but don't even know

I definitely felt mashed up this week. The calendar said fall but the thermometer said summer. My watch said quittin' time but my inbox said the work day was just getting started.So in honor of that - as well as the opening of Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited - here's a quirky, amusing mash-up of a Godard movie with an indie dance band single.Dance with someone from France this weekend.

Some weeks wake up on the wrong side of the bed, but end up all sunshine and rainbows - even before the weekend rolls around.Kind of like the time-lapse drawings in this video - which start off NSFW and then quickly become more G-rated than a Disney movie. (Props to Sam at YouVert for the link.)Draw yourself something nice this weekend. Happy Friday.

Some weeks, after you shut down your computer at work, you might catch a glimpse of your reflection in the darkness of the monitor and think, "I've sold out."Well, if it's any consolation, I don't think you're a sell out. I just think you need a weekend. David Bowie, however, might have other ideas. (Thanks to Z-Man for the link.)Stay out of piano bars this weekend (and rent Ricky Gervais' Extras

Everyone's been workin' for the long weekend - but Labor Day is a bittersweet holiday. It honors the fact we work our tails off...and unofficially brings summer (and summer Fridays) to a close and sends us back to work.But don't feel bad. Labor Day also means millions of children have to go back to school as well. Which is something Miss Teen South Carolina should strongly consider. (Props to DC

Some weeks you rock so hard, you need to pause before the weekend and think back to how you got there. Like young Mikey Cera. He didn't wake up one morning and find himself in the country's #1 movie - he had to work at it. (OK, so I just saw Superbad and I'm trying to think how to weave this clip into the blog.)Anyway, in honor of Superbad (which was a lot dirtier than I thought it'd be) here's a

Was on vacation last week and came back to a Scooterless world. Phil Rizzuto was many things to many people (including the face of The Money Store). But maybe more amazingly in this day and age, he worked for the same company - the New York Yankees - as a player or broadcaster for almost 60 years. That's a lot of weeks spent workin' for the weekend.Have a cannoli this weekend. Happy Friday.

Weekends weren't just made for errands, laundry, brunch, binge drinking and (if you're married) runs to BB&B. They were also made for dancing.Don't forget that, or Gil Gerard might have to come back from the 25th century to open a can of disco on you. (Thanks to DD for the link.)Just remember - dancing by yourself is bad for your health this weekend. Happy Friday.

Maybe this week at work didn't tap into your true potential. Your true gift. Your true calling.Well, that's what the weekend is for. Boogie Nights was on cable a few nights ago and it reminded me that if you have a dream, follow it. You might just have The Touch.Don't let the bass take away from your vocals this weekend.

(Audio Prank! from streeter seidell and Vimeo.)This week was hot in NYC. And heat makes you mean. Mean enough to pull a prank that might disturb your co-worker enough to force him into a month or two of therapy? I'm not sure. But I'm glad this guy did just that. (The audio is NSFW - you have been warned.)Tons of suggestion for this week's post, but thanks to Slavin for the

Hey, if July 4th week doesn't make you patriotic, I dunno what will. And what's more patriotic than somebody hacking Guitar Hero to play Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner? (If you're a purist, here's the link to Jimi playing it.)Don't let your colors run this weekend. Happy Friday.

...but they get the nod this Friday for two reasons. 1) Sometimes a work week makes you feel like you're in a giant Tetris game, trying to fit into one crazy situation after another; and 2) because Japanese TV shows make every day feel like it's the weekend.Props to my lovely lady, Sweet Stacey, for finding this weeks linkage.Domo arigato this weekend, Mr. Roboto.

Last Sunday we said goodbye to The Sopranos with the soulful sounds of Journey. This Friday we say hello to the weekend with them as well...as covered by the Family Guy.Maybe this weekend - like the movie mentioned in Don't Stop Believing - will never end. It'll go on and on and on and on. At least until Monday.Don't stop believing this weekend - taking a midnight train going anywhere is up to

You can't define what a Friday means after a long week at work. It's just a feeling. Like Pearl Jam's Yellow Ledbetter. Sure, Eddie Vedder is undecipherable, but the song feels good - and that's all that matters. Like a Friday.Here's to leaving Bennigan's this weekend. Happy Friday.

With the NBA Finals close to being set this weekend, my memories drift to the city's true summer game - street ball. I'm hoping David Stern checks this out because I'd love to see the Spurs and either the Cavs or Pistons lining up like this before the Game 1 tip-off.Fantastic 5 or Cold Crush Brothers? Keep your style wild and choose wisely this weekend. Happy Friday.

With this weekend being Memorial Day Weekend and the unofficial start of summer (I'm a solstice man, myself), I have to ask:Are you ready for the summer? Are you ready for the sunshine? Are you ready for the birds and bees, the apple trees...and a whole lot of foolin' around?Have a Camp North Star weekend, everybody - and have a great ol' big b-day, TT. Happy Friday.

Sorry this is a day late, but I wasn't around the innernets yesterday.That said, this is the only link that made sense for Friday, May 18th - the 5th Dimension's Aquarius (18th May 1969).Obviously, the cast of the 40 Year Old Virgin did a great cover and Hair spoof, but there's something special about the 5th Dimension's version that I can't put my finger on. Maybe it's because they're flying

If you're not all about Spider-Man 3 this weekend, maybe you'll be all about this - the original live action Spidey, thanks to The Electric Company.Two clips this week - the first is the opening credits to the EC, the second is the Spider-Man short. Not only did Spider-Man teach me how to read as a kid, but The Electric Company also exposed me to the high-caliber acting of Morgan Freeman. (He
