Me: Fuck you.
(Note: I have yet to see Slumdog [...]

These are the funniest videos on the internet. The rules for what videos I’ve included on this list were that the videos must be internet originals (not movie or T.V. clips); they must be videos intended to be comedic (no “dramatic squirrel” or “chocolate rain” type shit – they are annoying [...]
I got sick of the surveys people posted on Myspace bulletins, so I came up with my own:
