I don't do Fark at all; this was shown to me by a--GASP--real life flesh and blood friend. I thought it was awesome.

Wow, these ended up being way funnier than I thought they were going to be. Be sure to also catch Jones' Good Ass BBQ & Foot Massage. 10 wings and 10 toes for $10.99*!

*people missing toes still pay full price.

For some reason, "Now friends, you may ask yourself: 'How in the hell can he store that at such a cheap price?'" just fucking slayed me. Literally. I fell dead on the floor from a paroxysm of laughter.

I shit you not.

Maybe it slew me. I might need languagehat for a ruling.

Whoever made up this $10.99 storage/BBQ/foot massage concept is pretty brilliant is trying really hard to become meme-ified. (And probably will succeed.)

The comic minds behind this are Robert Hines together with the Big Dog Eat Child sketch comedy group.

you would think that it would be easier to keep up with jones due to his big ass, but nope!!! jones will always be a few steps ahead of you. it really is a terrible thing to always measure yourself by someone else.

Huh! I was looking for marketing jobs on Craigslist and came across a company that proudly claimed to be 'instrumental' in the marketing of this video, which was presented as a major accomplishment. This is the first I've heard of it outside of that.

Funny thing is the Jones' videos have been emailed to me at least 15 times in the last month.

Despite the fact its been around for awhile to some, this is damn, damn good stuff.

I can't impress on people enough how good the editing is for these videos. It may seem easy and just thrown together, but I assure you it's not. Good, good stuff.

Invoke the language, and reap the hate: unless you now write as one of the undead, you were not literally slayed.

That was in case languagehat doesn't respond to the languagehatsign

What makes you even more of the usual asshole who makes this stupid whiny comment is that you sarcastically asked if Fark was down to note that you quite clearly were reading Fark just now. So, good job there on two counts, champ.

If you are in Chicagoland and have the chance to see Big Dog Eat Child in person, I'd highly recommend it. Hilarious. These guys pour their hearts and souls into every show. I always leave with my sides aching.

(Disclaimer: One of the group members is my brother. The others are high school friends.)

..........no I didn't.



And yes, this link/meme is ancient.
It's at FW:FW:FW:FW: level now.
Not a bad piece of internet, but kinda weak.

So ubiquitous, most didn't even recognize it as a double.
