Hilarious: Gun O’Clock

This is definitely one of the best products made by Bandai: the Gun O’Clock!

Those texts are very well written! Set time! And Sleep! Good night! and Excellent shot! Good morning! Cool! Oh yes! That was soo ?cool?!. Where did they get that copywriter?? :D

And if you thought this is a hoax or fake product? Wrong! You can even buy it here:
Gun O’Clock for sale!

And this is how it operates:

Excellent shot!!

However I don’t think my wife would actually like it if I slept with a gun under my pillow. ;)

Hilarious: Dutch town names

Earlier this week I read on Mari’s blog that the Dutch town called Scheveningen is a very funny name in Japanese: Scheveningen sounds like sukebe ningen, which means depraved human being. Somehow that fits the town itself: it is one of the most well known seaside resorts and then there must be a lot of perverted people over there! :D

So if you see a Japanese posing in front of a sign reading Scheveningen: now you know why!

Funnier is the fact that a Dutch town called Goor got renamed to Swaffelo. Goor is located near Almelo and Hengelo and well known for its funnyt name: Goor literally means dirty, filthy or could even mean perverted. Swaffelen is Dutch slang for dickslap, so Swaffelo means something like dickslaptown! :D

The name got replaced for just one day as a ludicrous action. This was done during the school festivities to celebrate the ending of the past school year.

The fun part is that the town was elected to have the worst townname of the Netherlands. It is also well known for producing asbestos, so that doesn’t help their reputation either. Its inhabitants are struggling to either rename the town or to return it to its original name Gaore (which means swamp) but they can’t agree upon this decision. IMO Swaffelo is a very good compromise! ;)

Hilarious: Daijiro Inada can’t drift!

Imagine this: you are the founder of a very big video Magazine about drifting, you created your own drifting challenge, organize several big car shows, know most tuners and drifters in the world, but there is one problem: you can’t drift!

In this video he just smashes the whole rear end of his drift missile Silvia S13 in the sidewall and manages to eat some dust after going too wide in an easy corner.

Ah well, I probably wouldn’t do any better than him in the D1SL (and not even in any other event!) and besides that: I still have the most respect for the man who done it all!

Hilarious: Daijiro Inada versus Bosozoku master part 3

I just couldn’t stop laughing when I watched this video!
Remember Daijiro Inada visiting the bosozoku master Daisuke Shouten in part 1 and 2? (If not, don’t worry: a reminder is in the video itself) Now Daisuke Shouten finished his project on the Toyota Celsior UCF11 (Lexus LS400 outside Japan) to create a bosozoku VIP car! Or should I rather say a bippuzoku car? Or even better: bippuzokusha!

Have a look at it yourself:

t is amazing what he did with the car: he extended the front and the back of the car to 6.7 meters! The front was replaced with a set of headligths borrowed from an early 80s Toyota Crown S110. He added another row of seats where the trunk used to be and at the rear he replaced the taillights with a set of a Nissan Skyline KPGC10 GT-R! A fridge is placed where the front passenger seat used to be. And I did spot a fax machine in it to make it a real VIP car while a 24cm steering wheel and a tsurikawa dangling from the ceiling to finish it off as a true bosozoku car! ;)

Fortunately enough I did manage to find two pictures of this car which were taken at the Massuru meeting in 2005:

Then they just pick up this girl, asking if she would like to have a ride in it. Damn, even with a bippuzoku car you can pick up girls without any trouble!

It is also really funny when they meet up with this limo driver at 7:53. The limo driver also drives a Toyota Celsior and can’t believe that the car underneath is the same! And they also get a lot of respect from the kyusha style GX61 Cresta driver at a traffic light!

Thanks to White_Raven for finding this video! :)

Hilarious: Kiss make up and the beginning of D1GP

I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this one on IZ Reloaded!

If only I was 7 years older in 1978 it would have been a fun thing to do with my dad!! :D

Same thing as above: if I only would have been a few years older I actually could have enjoyed the early days of D1GP:

As you can see it was a bit primitive back in the early 90s but nevertheless it was very enjoyable back then! The cars may have been a bit primitive but applying the handbrake to help the car slide was a common thing then as well!
And you can see them all: Ken Nomura, Manabu Orido, Manabu Suzuki and Keiichi Tsuchiya. All of them in early 90s outfits and without glasses! :D

Hilarious: Muscle March

I can’t believe someone actually would buy this game on the Wii: I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this trailer!

At first I expected some sort of bodybuilder game in which you have to compete against other bodybuilders: grow muscles and stuff.
Sure, that’s one of the goals of this game, but I wouldn’t have expected it to be in such a gay way!

It is almost as gay as this driftcar with its tires smoking pink clouds in the air:

I know: it is supposed to be some cool and it most probably should have been red smoke… If they only would have applied some more it would have been a really nice red color instead. ;)
