Idiots Of Ants

Idiots Of Ants

Normally, for something like this, I would just toss it into the Loot section, but there is more than just one post I want you to see. So I figured I would write a bit about this crew.

For those of you that don’t know, I love good sketch comedy. I wish I was involved in sketch comedy. I wish I could watch good sketch comedy on SATURDAY NIGHTS! Say around… 11:35pm!? Well these guys, Idiots of Ants, are a freaking fantastic group of 4 that was formed in the U.K. and debuted at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which is something I keep a close eye on, and thusly heard of these guys.

For those of you that don’t know about the Edinburgh Fringe Festival… I’m too lazy to really explain it, but it’s a theatre festival in Edinburgh, Scotland that is a great launching platform for not very well known artists, as well as a great place to see well known artists knee deep in their craft.

I am just going to highlight two of their vids, both Nintendo related.

The first one is a hilarious satire of the Wii. We have seen similar things like this in the past, but this one goes a bit beyond the others. If you don’t enjoy this one at first give it a second it grows on you… trust me…

SEE?!

Hilarious… mostly the hilariousness was in the sheer ridiculousness of the amount of items that they turned into Wiimotes. FREAKING RIDICULOUS! The next one is a video of something that we all have suspected for a long time, and have been expecting for just a few seconds shorter than that.

This may be difficult to watch… don’t say I didn’t warn you…

OKAY…

I am sorry, but what can I say!?! I thought it was hilarious, mostly because of that sound… at that moment… you know…

FINE. To make up for that one, I figure I should just keep this post going! This next one is the truth about how the internet works. It is a great, witty sketch, and one that SNL should be jealous of.

Great stuff. And finally I will share with you this Facebook parody that, once again, SNL couldn’t touch with a ten foot pole… eleven foot is possible, but not ten.

Artists like this need to be spread around the world… Need to be online sensations… NEED TO BE WORLD FAMOUS!!! Essentially, artists like Idiots Of Ants need to take down SNL, and all things related to SNL… except for Christopher Walken. He can stay… OH and Conan O’Brien and Robert Smigel. They can stay too. But who can DEFINITELY NOT STAY? Kenan and/or Kel… whichever one is the one on SNL these days…

If there was one thing about SNL that you would save, what would it be?
