Tweet of the day: The Iron Sheik disses Hulk Hogan

Screen shot: Tweet by The iron Sheik — “HULK HOGAN YOU ARE WORSE THAN THE AUTOMATIC 20% TIP ON PARTY 6 OR MORE”
Tap to see the original Tweet.

Maybe it’s that I grew up in the ’80s watching the WWF (the old name of WWE), maybe it’s because I can hear the Tweet in his voice, or maybe it’s just the comparison, but this cracked me up. This is my Tweet of the day.

Watch, if you dare!

The Canadian TV series Kenny vs. Spenny was a gem of cringe comedy, in which Kenny Hotz and Spencer “Spenny” Rice would compete against each other in various contents of varying amounts of ridiculousness.

In each episode, the loser would have to face some kind of humiliation, and in the “Who’s the better wrestler?” episode, Spenny lost. His punishment: Naked humiliation at the hands (and beer bottle) of the Iron Sheik. Like the heading says: Watch, if you dare!

“Existential Troopers”: Auralnauts’ remix of “The Mandalorian”

Photo: Still from “Existential Troopers” — The speeder bike troopers from “The Mandalorian”, in the scene where one of them punches Baby Yoda

Existential Troopers is Auralnauts’ latest Star Wars remix in which they take the classic “Stormtroopers” scene from the final season one episode of The Mandalorian and turn it from simple comedy gold in great philosophical comedy gold.

It’s a great premise. One speeder bike trooper has been thinking about how in spite of their superior numbers and technology, The Empire always loses. He even brings up the the topic of how the best-trained, best equipped army in the galaxy has such terrible aim and got defeated by “a bunch of weekend warriors and their pet teddy bears on Endor”. He’s reasoned out that it might be their destiny to lose, and existential hilarity ensues…

If you liked what Auralnauts did with Existential Troopers, be sure to catch my article spolighting another Auralnauts creation, Go To Sleep Baby Yoda, which takes scenes of The Mandalorian and The Child on the Razor Crest (the ship) and turns it into a sweet bedtime story, complete with catchy synthpop tune!
