This commercial was for Washington Mutual.  It’s funny as can be but it must not have helped them much seeing as they were the largest bank failure in U.S. history back in 2008.

Thanks to my Aunt Jacquie for sending me the following:

My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned.. Couldn’t concentrate.
Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but just couldn’t hack it, so they gave me the axe.

In a recent Yankees/Mariners game a fan was bumped into by Ichiro Suzuki while he was trying to catch a foul ball.  The young lady gets slightly worked up about it.  The best thing about this clip is the voiceover by Jay Onrait.  Too funny!
UPDATE: The video that I had originally linked to was taken [...]

You might be a redneck if you can identify with any of the items in the gallery:

Like many of you, I’ve been watching with great concern the developments in the Gulf.  This is turning out to be the ecological disaster of the century.  Well, I happened upon what could very well be the best solution to the problem:

Now don’t go getting all political on me, just laugh!
