The NAUGHTical Life – The Box


Huge shoutout to Bryan James for breaking the two week dry spell here at 20 Something Awesome. Luckily for you all he does so in hilarious fashion. And with a little box sex.

What is in the box? Is it actually a castle? Is it merely just a McMansion? Is it simply just a box? Or is a metephor for life? Will anyone ever know?

Watch this short, but sweet video and answer for yourself.

#Hashtags That Should Be Trending: #SOTuesday (Shout Out Tuesday)


I'm not sure why I decided this hashtag deserved its own post but I'm guessing it has something to do with the time specificity of it. Don't hold me to that because I have no idea what I'm saying. Ever.

Please read, and as always, please tweet, pls retweet and plz favorite.

#SOTuesday-

Tuesday so often gets left out of things on Twitter and in real life. Music Monday  Hump Day. Follow Friday. Hungover Saturday. Hungover Sunday. And never forget about Throwback Thursday. Never forget.

I'm here to change this. To give Tuesday a voice. I'm here to help Tuesday become the day it was born to be.

What's great about Shout Out Tuesday? It's all encompassing of genders, races, genres, sexual orientations, feet sizes, Neil Young likers and non Neil Young likers. No one is left out from joining in on the fun.

It is not required to Shout Out to one specific handle, it can simply be a Shout Out to a certain group of people. However, if you'd like, it can be used similarly to Follow Friday. FF doesn't quite have the range of #SOTuesday which is why I predict in three months time Tuesday will be the new Friday. We can all agree this was going to happen eventually, but this hashtag will greatly expatiate the process. We're skipping the early adapters stage which is so often key in trend setting.

So get tweeting  and take a look at some of my self-proclaimed best of #SOTuesday tweets from the past few weeks:

Please excuse the lack of hashtag on these, the idea was forming at this very moment. You're reliving history!

The NAUGHTical Life – Life Advice with Mick: Getting a Job


If you ever watched a NAUGHTical Life video and thought, "that was slightly too short and offensive," this might be the video for you. This time, instead of Mick doing terrible stand-up we see him giving drunk advice on finding a job. He is clearly unemployed himself and at an emotional  low.  Somehow every piece of advice he gives just comes back to his ex-wife, in hilarious fashion.

If you've got the five minutes and like to laugh, watch it below! Enjoy it? Subscribe to him on Youtube.

#Hashtags That Should Be Trending, Round 11


Can you believe we are at Round 11 for these? That brings us up to 55 different hashtags that should be trending. I'm fairly certain none of them have, but I'm not giving hope yet. It'll happen eventually. You can help by using them, which some people have been. Thanks to them!

 

#gamesetmatch

Great for really twisting the knife on a zinger of a tweet. Also, great for end of tennis match tweets. It works for 90% of the tweets out there. As a bonus almost all languages and cultures can understand it, since tennis is such a world-wide sport. The few many exceptions are in second and third world countries where there is very little Twitter use anyways. But  no worries, we (rich people) have better things to worry about than people reading tweets and hashtags that they don’t understand. Like helping them have access to clean water...

AAAAARRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. #gamesetmatch

 

#cuteat6butnotat26

Some things are cute when your six but not so much when you’re an adult. Examples: Peeing on a house plant. Riding the family dog. Digging a hole in the backyard and pooping in it.

The list is endless and almost exclusively consisting of body fluids/functions. Admittedly, I could be limiting the use of this hashtag. Link to your tweets that use this (or any of them) in the comments below and I’ll RT!

 

Well I think I broke a few laws searching for images of people peeing on houseplants so I'll skip the image on this one...

 

#brillant

The Brits really have something with this whole “brilliant” business. It has many uses, including: literal (Wow, you're really smart. #brillant), sarcastic (Way to get drunk and throw up on a young kid. #BRILLANT" and even figuratively.  I can’t figure out a suitable figurative scenario but I can only imagine they exist plentifully. Use liberally and without abandon. I have come to love this word thanks to the UK version of the show The Inbetweeners which is BRILLANT! Ahhhh, see. I wrote about the show being on Netflix.

BRIEFCASE WANKER!

 

#intercepted

This hashtag is inspired by a Key and Peele sketch where there is college aged Obama planning and attending a party. As he is being "all presidential" in talking about how awesome the party will be, there is a joint passed round and as it goes from one person to another he, “intercepts” it. It’s a great skit that you can watch below.  Intercepted as a hashtag is so awesome you can use it in almost any context. During the Super Bowl on February 3rd, 2013 (which happened already) would be a good jumping off point. After that, just go wild with it.

 

#letsgo

After the very exciting half-black-out during the Super Bowl this past Sunday the power was fully restored and the game was ready to start. When the head ref gave the official announcement he lastly uttered the words, “Let’s go”. In long, what he was saying was, “let’s get this shit going again so I can go hang out on Bourbon Street for one last night.” If you were unaware, the Superbowl took place in New Orleans for the 2012/2013 season. #letsgo is a very versatile hashtag. Trying to make plans with someone, #letsgo. Rooting for a team of some sort, #letsgo. If you’re really cool you can use the much more hip versions, #lego/#lesgo/#legsgo/etc.. It doesn't really matter though, because eventually they will all be trending. You wait and see.

lets go superbowl 2013 ref

New on Netflix Instant Streaming: February Dump List


The start of another month brings a solid stream of new movies and TV shows on Netflix Streaming. This includes the new Netflix Original Series, House of Cards. I gave House of Cards it's own post since  it was deserving. Here are a few movies that didn't warrant their own post.

ferris buellers day off dvd cover netflix

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

Director: John Hughes
Writer: John Hughes
Starring: Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara, Jnnifer Grey
Genre: Comedy, Drama, High School
PG-13

Why You Should Watch It: If you haven't seen this movie before please follow these easy to execute steps:

  1. Kill yourself.
  2. Come back to life.
  3. Watch this movie.
  4. Find one person in a different country who has also not seen this movie.
  5. Kill them.
  6. Bring them back to life.
  7. Watch the movie with them.
  8. Instruct them to repeat steps 1-8.

Yes, I realize they will have died twice and seen the movie at minimum three times. That's all part of my master plan.

Liar Liar (1997)

Director: Tom Shadyac
Writer: Paul Guay, Stephen Mazur
Starring: Jim Carrey, Maura Tierney, Justin Cooper, Cary Elwes, Anne Haney, Jennifer Tilly
Genre: Comedy, Drama
PG-13

Why You Should Watch It: As a fourteen year old this was one of my favorite movies. Let's just say I was a Jim Carrey fan, but what pre-teen/teen wasn't during the bridging years of the new millennium?  Slightly less silly than his Ace Ventura character, Fletcher could still bring the PG-13 crude and silly together like no one else. I haven't watched this movie in probably five years but I remember it holding up well. Then again this was one of my favorite and most quoted movies as a young pup. Watch it, and if you don't like it please come and yell at me in the comments second below.

Happy Gilmore (1996)

Director: Dennis Dugan
Writer: Tim Herlihy, Adam Sandler
Starring: Adam Sandler, Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, Frances Bay
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Sports, Golf
PG-13

Why You Should Watch It: I recently read a review of this movie by someone who first watched the film when they were far too old. That, and they were for some reason taking it seriously. It's a 90's Adam Sandler movie. You know, the guy who sings funny songs about Hanukkah and lunch ladies. The only thing serious about this movie, is the laughs! Boom, zing, zap! So if you have never seen this child-humor comedy classic, turn off your brain and have a few laughs. If you have seen it, and enjoyed it, watch it again and annoy whoever you're watching it with by quoting it throughout.

 

tremors netflix cover dvd kevin bacon

Tremors (1990)

Director: Ron Underwood
Writer: S.S. Wilson, Brent Maddock
Starring: Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Finn Carter
Genre: Sci-fi, Classic, Thriller
PG-13

Why You Should Watch It: Tremors might be Kevin Bacon's gift to the world. It might also be the greatest campy, desert monster, cult classic movie ever made. A dozen or so REAL characters encounter and deal with the wrath of a large worm like creature that can swim through the earth like a parasite swimming through your lower intestine. With a mix of laughs, Kevin Bacon, and some suspense this movie is definitely worth a watch.

They also have Tremors 2: Aftershocks and Tremors 3: Back to Perfection streaming.
