An excellent April Fool! Especially well done because unless you bother to look at the picture in detail, the initial page seems quite convincing. It's only when you look at the lower pages they make it nice and obvious. Love the google guys, even if they *are* taking over the world!
EDIT: My god they really went to town on this one! Set up a google group and everything!

I hate Harry Potter but that was funny. I tell you what else I hate, when people quote killer lines on youtube vids in the comments section - it toatally ruined the end of that one for me
I don't know if anyone's seen or heard Weird Al's take on Ridin', called White and Nerdy (the original song grates on me like you wouldn't believe), but I'm sure everyone here will appreciate (and relate to!) it.

There's not much that makes me 'laugh out loud' when watching the internet nowadays but I was in stitches the entire time this video was playing. I see the gentleman in the back in a whole different light now!

That's when you realize St*rW*rs are cheap movies.
Hum, It's not really politically correct, and I hope the guy hasn't done anything harmful, but I find this speach particularly funny :

Cool sequel Beo, though I think I liked the first one even better. This one has even more impressive effects, though.

Hehe!
Then again, he's got a clear political stance, and he is honest about it, so... how many normal candidates in an election give you that!

Yeah trant, I think the coreography and stuff is better in this second one, but I miss the little touches of personality fro mthe first
That said, the whole ending bit is cool, as is the part where they both loose their sabers - it could have done with a touch more of that sort of exchange!
Only watched a bit opf thazt, but you must admit if only more politicians could come clean and say 'most of you watchign thsi are MY SWORN ENEMIES' to the voters... you'd respect them more for that

Impressively choreographed and very slick effects. However, I know this is an amateur effort, but it's more interested in the mechanics of spectacle than a passionate performance and therefore is no better than what Lucas managed on the prequels.

Yeah, I think the sequel is really good for everythign apart fro mthe little nuanced performances they had i nthe first one.
Ah well!
Funny, I'm watchign the first three films at the moment...or actually all the behinds the scenes stuff and commenteries. Say what you like about the first three, there are still little star wars moments that make you grin.
LIke lightsabers! And big battles!

You mean first three as in second three that are actually the first three?
On another note, the food in this restaurant is a load of old cock (English expression for "not very good"):

WTF? There's pages of the stuff!? Is this some kind of joke profile or do people just write nonsense these days?

It's the comments to other people the guy has consistently, not the ones he has received himselves, which are surprisingly all normal (with the rare reply back, mostly positive)

I concur. I think I have a strange brain, I actually tried to play that but missed a jump or a logical step at 12.5 and ended up literally stuck on 8 again.
I didn't read the messages by and large, so right now my head aches and I'll probably go insane during the night

And a cute time trumpet clip (although most of that series was awful)

The only thing funny about the david bliane one is the way he keeps looking into the camera!
This is much funnier:
