Hello everybody and welcome to TomsNews.com Breaking news today is all about the honey badger. I’m no
t talking about the animal itself. I am talking about “czg123″s description of the honey badger on YouTube. If your not familiar with this video you can watch it here and then the rest of this might make a little bit more sense to you. Now “Randall” narrates this stunning documentary of a honey badger and during the whole video I was captivated by the pure bravery of this creature. But on the other hand I couldn’t help laughing histarically at the narrating. “Honey badger don’t care, honey badger don’t give a $hit” could be one of my favorite lines along with “thanks for the lunch, stupid!”
But why? I mean if I was watching this on discovery, yeah I would watch but there would be absolutly no way I would take the same funny factor out of it. Is it because the narrator sounds gay? Is it because there is a humorous aspect to it? Or is it because its not just some monotone middle aged dude describing everything that we see is happening? Now this
Randall has done quite a few of these documentaries but none even come close to the histerical factor of this one. The next best one, in my opinion would be Signal Stupid which can be found here. I think the more videos he makes the harder he tries now and they just don’t seem to live up to the expectations of the honey badger. But in all reality Randall has done what so many people on YouTube are striving to do. He has taken something ordinary and made it extraordinary. At the time of writing this there has been over 21 million hits on this one video. 21 MILLION! Randal, there is your 15 mins of fame, or 21 million 3:21 of fame which works out to about 71 million minutes of fame (which works out to about 134 years). But who’s counting.
This just in! Turns out you can actually buy t-shirts and coffee mugs with a honey badger on them and a saying from the video! WOW! Yeah I think it has gone a litle too far. I guess everyone needs to monetize what they are good at even if it is just talking over a little bit of video. If anyone is really that interested in the Honey Badger mechandise you can check it out here. If not, I don’t really blame you at all lol!
Stay tuned for more news about more things that may, or may not matter in your life! Feel free to leave a few coments while you are here too
