Jimmy Kimmel reveals a cushy job description that I didn’t hear about on Career Day, or I might have set my course in a different direction. Jimmy claims to have four staffers who watch TV and scour the internet all day and night. They are searching for the funniest and strangest moments they can find. At the end of each year, they go through all of the great clips and select the best of the best. As an added bonus, George Takei makes a guest appearance to accept the 2014 award in place of the winner, and offers words of encouragement. But first, check out Jimmy’s suit! It is the natural evolution of the ugly Christmas sweater, which has become the pinnacle of ironic, ugly and sought-after garments. It’s safe to say that Jimmy is ahead of the ugly suit trend.
You will be familiar with some of the videos selected. They were wildly popular and went viral. Others were a first to me, but funny in the way only the unexpected and completely unplanned can be.
The videos:
Here’s Ronnie!: Most dramatic and unplanned entrance into a retail shop.
Broom-O Mars: up on the rooftop. Most electrifying performance by someone who shouldn’t be singing.
Stop and Drink the Roses: The photo – or video bomb taken to the limit. I wonder if there was flower preservative in the vase.
Rave’ Organizer Speaks Out: Largest party ever in Michigan
.Saran Wrap Prank: Worked all too well.
The Winnah!
Bow-ties Speak Louder Than Words: Do the words “I’m not GAY no more!” ring a bell? “I will love women.” “I’m not going to carry a purse!” I have news for him, if he’s going to ‘love women’ he’s going to carry a purse now and then – while she’s in a dressing room trying on clothes.
When he accepted the award for this contestant George Takei extended an open invitation to “beam you right back up – to ‘I’m not straight no more’ no questions asked”
