Posted by Mary at 1:27 pm During a recent conversation that I had with my father, the subject of cell phones came up. We were discussing technology and he decided to share his observation about how, “all young people are constantly playing with their mobile phones!” It occurred to me that this was not just another ‘generation gap’ issue like wearing pants beneath one’s crack.

Posted by admin at 10:32 am In the wise words of the British synthpop/New Wave group The Buggles, “Video killed the radio star.” Have truer words ever been said? I submit there have not. Before the invention of MTV and music videos, some of the best music came from some of the ugliest faces. In fact many of the best bands from the 70’s look like what would happen if Jim Henson’s nightmares got raped by Tim Burton’s daydreams. But no one cared because music is meant to be experienced by the ears, not the superficial, judgmental eyeballs.

Posted by admin at 10:17 am With only a few days left until Christmas arrives, the jolly little elves at McLOL have been working overtime to bring our readers a special gift for the holidays. Since most of you have been naughtier than nice, there will be no iPads, iPhones, XBOX Kinects or laptop computers stuffed into your Christmas stockings this year. But like that one song says, you better not pout, because we are still in a giving mood. So rather than braving the hectic Christmas shopping crowds and parking lot mayhem for gifts that will be outdated by next year, we have decided to keep it simple and funny with a look back at some of the funniest and weirdest Christmas album covers of all time.
How could we compile a list of silly Christmas album covers without including Eilert Pilarm – Sweden’s favorite Elvis impersonator who neither looks nor sounds like Elvis? “The King” himself would probably turn in his grave if he were to witness the ruthless butchering of such wonderful Christmas music. Don’t be cruel, Eilert!
In 2006, Afroman brought Christmas back to the ‘hood with A Colt 45 Christmas. With festive song titles including “Deck My Balls”, “Let Her Blow” and “O Chronic Tree”, Afroman traded in the customary Christmas tree and eggnog for marijuana trees and 40 ounce bottles of malt liquor. When asked why he decided to take this route in celebrating the holidays, Afroman replied “Because I Got High”. Indeed!
Christmas in Tijuana, sounds enticing doesn’t it? Who in their right mind would choose a white Christmas when they could cross over the US border and spend the winter holiday eating tacos, drinking bottles of tequila, listening to mariachi music, exploring drug tunnels and running away from the Tijuana Cartel? If that’s not your idea of a Felis Navidad then I don’t know what is.
Santa Clause is coming to Jamaica, mon! Late reggae artist Jacob Miller proved that Santa didn’t care if you were natty or nice. Santa climbed down the dutty chimneys in Kingston, leaving gift bags of ganja under every Christmas tree. You better leave a big plate of cookies out for this hungry Santa!
There is something oddly hilarious about “Santa” George Michael standing side by side with band mate, Andrew “The Reindeer” Ridgeley. Let’s just hope that Santa keeps it clean this Christmas and refrains from engaging in lewd acts in public restrooms and cruising in his sleigh for anonymous sex in parks. Wake me up before you ho-ho-ho!
While the album cover itself is not as comically amusing as some of our other picks, how can you not snicker at the concept of a death row Christmas celebration? I absolutely appreciate the humor in sending your young children to sit on the lap of a death row inmate adorned in Santa Clause attire. As long as his arms and legs are strapped securely to Santa’s electric throne, you should have absolutely nothing to worry about! Right?
AC/DC and Christmas go together like a violent flame and dry pine branches. Nonetheless, we decided to include their Christmas adultery anthem on our list of the funniest Christmas album covers. Seeing a wide-eyed, grinning Brian Johnson holding an upside down Mrs. Santa by the legs is the Christmas gift that keeps on giving.
If you have been a naughty girl this year, take a seat on Santa Luke’s lap and tell him what you want for Christmas (though the chances are you will get nothing but a nice spanking). Nobody brings out the holiday cheer quite like the former 2 Live Crew front man. Pop in the album and celebrate the happiest (and freakiest) time of the year with such musical gems as “Ho Hoe Hoes”, “Christmas Spliff” and “Christmas Fuckin’ Day”. Just make sure mom, dad and granny are not around to hear it!
If you are familiar with who Paul Holt is, you most likely enjoy the train wreck of a television program that is “The X Factor” (a British singing competition a la American Idol). Simon Cowell criticized Holt’s lousy audition and promised him fifty thousand pounds should Holt ever land a number one single in the UK. Needless to say, Holt wrote a Christmas song about the Cowell bet and never came close to hitting the number one spot. On the bright side, we have a bizarre Christmas album cover that will live on for years to come.
The late Rudy Ray Moore – best known for his vulgar comedy routines and for his depiction of our favorite Blaxploitation film character Dolemite the pimp – carried on the Christmas tradition with a holiday-themed comedy effort. If you take one look at the barely clothed ebony beauties decorating his tree (no pun intended), you will realize why This Ain’t No White Christmas.
From all of us at Mclol, Merry Christmas mutha***kas!
Posted by Jason at 12:28 pm Have you ever left one bar to go to another bar even though you were already totally, retardedly shit-faced? Your brain ceased all normal functions eight beers and fourteen jager bombs ago but nothing, and I mean NOTHING can even come close to stopping you from entering new realms of inebriation.

Posted by Mary at 2:14 pm Irony. Is there anything sweeter? For some, and by some I mean for pussies, safety comes first. For those who like to live dangerously, safety is the toothpick they pluck peril out of their teeth with. Danger dudes and dudettes- this post is for you! I’ve complied some of my favourite pictures and videos of some of the funniest safety fails. Enjoy!

Posted by Dan at 10:06 am There is just something inherently funny and lovable about the fat man. And when the fat man realizes this, owning his fatness and pushing those folds to their limits, the rest of the world laughs their skinny asses off. Maybe it comes from years of being teased. From the schoolyard to the workplace, endless barrages of fat jokes being hurled at them on a daily basis. As their bodies inflated their egos were constantly punctured, never getting too big. Maybe this is why the fat man is able to make fun of himself. And there is almost nothing funnier, more honest, more endearing, than a fat man laughing at himself. He has lived with his fat every single day of his, and as such is able to come up with better fat jokes than any bully on earth. The following is a tribute to some of the funniest fat men from the days of black and white television to today’s silver screen. So sit back, eat some bacon-wrapped pop corn, and enjoy!

Posted by Mary at 9:40 am You know what’s funnier than watching someone bail on a bike? Gerbils tobogganing on a sand dune, fat people on roller skates, monkeys… Okay, well aside from those giggle-inducers… Watching someone bail on a bike and land on their nuts. From the people who brought you the Best Prank Nushots, the Best Skateboard Nut Shots, those people being me, feast your eyes on the Best BMX Nut Shots!

Posted by Dan at 8:32 am A survey conducted in England revealed that a third of the population, roughly 18 million people, have injured themselves in some form or another during sex. Which is incredible when you consider the fact that the British don’t have sex. Pulled muscles, cricked necks, carpet-burnt knees and bruising are among the most common of the sexual injuries, and since they happened in the throws of passion, 40% of people claimed they didn’t even realize they were hurt until the following day. The following is a list of bizarre sex injuries which were discovered pretty much the split second they happened. For many of them I’m not sure which was worse; the injury itself or having to explain what happened to the doctor? You can be the judge.

Posted by Mary at 9:44 am Because I love swearing (and quite possibly have an undiagnosed case of Tourettes), I have put together a post on the evolution of insults, so I can use words like fuck, shit, ass, crap, and crappy ass shit-head, repeatedly, in the name of education.
