My Top Four Favourite European Philosophers… and why!

Raphael's The School of Athens, portraying almost every Greek philosopher. If you look closely, you can see that one of them has their wang out.

Since my recent post ‘My Top Four Asian/Pan-Pacific Rimmer Philosophers… and why!’, I have been inundated with literally a million emails saying, “Hey Jon, you articulate and definitely not gay stud you, that was a great article, but why you be hatin’ on the great thinkers of the European tradition? I sure would love to see you rock about Locke, talk blue about Camus, and preach-a about Nietzsche. P.S. You are definitely not gay.” Seriously, all one million of them said exactly that.

So, never one to disappoint the loyal and always pleasantly commenting Humourisms fanbase, here are my Top Five European Philosophers In The World Ever, Now That’s What I Call Rational!

(Disclaimer: While I do have a degree in Philosophy, it’s been some time since I used it. Some facts may be incorrect, as my memory is a bit fuzzy on everything from Habermas to around Frichte. I could read them all again to fact check, but no-one actually cares.)

Number 4 – Jean Paul Sartre

No, you’re not looking at the real-life basis for James Bond, and no, that isn’t Groucho Marx without the grease-paint moustache. This is muthafuckin’ JP Sartre, and he’s here to blow minds and screw bitches – and he just ran out of bitches. Continue reading

Top 5 Ways Michael Bay Will Ruin Your Childhood TV Shows.

 This week Michael Bay revealed that his reimagining of the Teenage Mutant Ninja/Hero Turtles will recast them as Aliens. We asked Comedian and Humourisms Reporter George Fox to take a look at ways Michael Bay could destroy our other childhood favourites.

1: “Hey Arnold”

Apparently Michael Bay wants to relaunch 90′s Nickelodeon cartoon “Hey Arnold” with a brand new origin story. In his new version main character, Arnold is abducted by aliens and has his DNA spliced with that of an american football which he was holding at the time of his abduction. This leads to his charcter waking up in bed the morning after being abducted with an actual football for a head. Much hilarity ensues as he is hunted by an american government sanctioned android codenamed H.E.L.G.A. Which stands for:

High

Entrapment

Likelihood

Government

Android

There’s also a black kid so people don’t think the movie is racist. But like all Michael bay movies, just one. Anymore would be ridiculous. Apparently.

The Top 5 Worst Valentine’s Day Candy Hearts

Preface: These are all 100% real candy hearts, found in packs that were given to every employee at my office. Most of them contained the normal “Be Mine” and “Forever Yours” bullshit that we are so accustomed to, but hidden between those empty platitudes were some real gems…

 

5.

An intriguing opener, candy heart. While most of your sweet, sweet brethren are wearing their hearts on their sleeves, you’re playing it close to the vest. Any other day of the year, I respect that. But today I need love – a need that statistical analysis predicts will likely not be fulfilled by a woman. That’s the whole reason I turned to candy in the first place. I gotta find a sure thing tonight, candy heart. I can’t play these games with you.

Top 5 Ways To Get Redundancy

After receiving a suggestion from one of our guest contributors, Damon Blake has gone ahead and written the guide you didn’t know you needed but most likely will soon.

With businesses collapsing like the dream buildings of Inception, companies have been laying off staff and giving them some well needed R&R, that is, Rejection and Redundancy. Redundancy is basically where people pay you not to work until you no longer work for them. It’s like being fired, except it’s the company that has done something wrong. To help you onto the path of making some of this sweet guilt-money, here’s the Top 5 ways for you to get it.

Number Five

People hate it when you’re bad at your job, however when you’re simply incompetent in the office you’re just a hassle to work with. When it comes time for an 11 O’Clock break, offer to make everyone coffee and instead pour unleaded petrol into everyone’s cups. When they angrily spit it out, grab the coffee packet and shove it in their face, telling them to take it up with Maxwell House, you’re just a patsy, a stooge, a caffeine scapegoat and you’re not going to take this slander anymore. Then drink some petrol and lock yourself in the toilets for half an hour while loudly crying.

I didn't fight in Iraq to drink Nescafe, no sir.

Looks like a gallon of coffee to me.

The Very Worst Of Adults In Pyjamas

Today George Fox gives us a rundown of the most embarrassing examples of human beings, at their most comfortable.

With the winter arriving and the cold weather nipping at our extremities like a deranged drunk girl in a nightclub trying to get all her female mates to dance to “Single Ladies” because “fuck it! We ARE single ladies!”, now seemed as good a time as any to look at the many ways in which we can try and stave off the cold. My first stop was supposed to be  “Adult Pyjamas”, but what I was visually assaulted with, was a tirade of images so shocking and yet sublime, as to make the rest of my journey a moot point. Clearly this very behaviour in itself MUST be documented, and so I took it upon myself to dive, dignity first, into the world of……..

THE VERY WORST OF ADULTS IN PYJAMAS

COUPLES SECTION:

The “Overly Possessive Boyfriend” Pose:

This is where she lets me  put it. I Put it COS ITS MINE!


The “Oh My God, Is That A Shadow Or….No, No It Couldnt Be…Could it?” Pose.

Either that, or he snuck a Toblerone in with him. A Duty-Free Toblerone.

Top 5 Rejected Ideas For Skyrim

It’s Monday once again and George Fox uses his investigative contacts to uncover some secrets from one of the biggest game releases of 2011.

TOP 5 REJECTED IDEAS FOR SKYRIM-

5: “CRAZY HOBO” CHARACTER CLASS

Although “Skyrim” does in fact feature a wealth of numerous classes and species to choose from, one character type and their associated skills that you wont find anywhere in the retail version is the development teams early attempt at a class named “Crazy Hobo” . The character was to have the unique ability of having no interaction in any way whatsoever with the titles main epic adventure storyline. Instead, as a “Crazy Hobo” you would be limited to minor interactions with NPC’s(Non-Player characters) in the towns and villages of “Skyrim”. Planned abilities for this character type included a mini-game where you try to make eye contact with passersby as you ask for spare change, and the ability to be quickly “Moved on” by authorities should you come within 200ft of any local schools. One unique perk that was also available to players of this type was that if they built up enough Magicka through drinking games and swearing at local women, they would be given the opportunity to urinate upon a house of their choosing. Seven moons after committing this deed, the first-born of that household would fall ill and die. This would have unlocked the PS3 Trophy/ Xbox 360 Achievement “Hobo’s Vengeance”.
