5) The Karate Kid

While the Karate Kid is portrayed to being a super hero that makes one great handyman, not to mention he can take a good beating he has a very little understanding of Karate. Only knowing 4 moves severely limits his option when it comes to a fight.

Simply knowing the counter actions of these 4 moves will give you a huge advantage.

4) The whole A-Team

Looks can be deceiving because at first you wouldn’t fancy your chances against the whole A-Team, looking closer you will find out aside from their mass amounts of firepower they can’t actually use it properly. Their internal arguments, lack of focus and as mentioned their poor marksmanship will most likely lead them to their death – when they find an enemy that has half a brain cell.

3) Star Trek’s Worf

You have to admit that Worf wouldn’t be a preferred enemy as he is seen as having super strength, can use blades/swords and can make a scary sound. Remove all of that and you will find he really isn’t that strong – he cannot move very fast, seems to be really dense and not to mention wears comical uniforms (with no pockets) so you can be sure he is not hiding anything up his sleeves.

2) 3 Ninjas Tum Tum

So how can you beat a ninja? You probably can’t, they have superior strength, agility and abilities when it comes to fighting so you don’t want to get on the nasty side of one of these guys. However, with Tum Tum being only 5 years old it doesn’t leave much room for learning how to snap people’s bones with one punch – he’s only probably just been potty trained!

1) Batman’s sidekick Robin

Whilst is will be hard to look good next to Batman, Robin has proven himself to be little to no use in the crime fighting duo which places his at number 1. You can see this from the series because although he has the ability to throw punch after punch – none of them actually do any good in knocking the enemy out.

Following the theme from yesterday’s post I was watching Borat last night and figured it would be a great post to talk about. In my opinion here are the 5 funniest skits he has done:

5) Animal ranch skit

Borat is used to intimidating the featured people but when he meets up with Gene Gordon who openly speaks his mind about his beliefs. I put this at number 5 because the shot where Borat is in his underwear shouting “Bhet, Bhet, Bhet…” at the deer as a mating call.

4) Acting studio skit

Finding it difficult to distinguish the difference between real life and acting you can only imagine some of the things the poor acting partner will go through auditioning with Borat. In this scene he attempts to bed the actress not knowing that they are just ‘acting’

3) 18th century skit

Visiting an 18th century historical re-actment Borat has got hundreds of questions to ask the educators, he basically is like a 5 year old asking questions about what they are doing and more importantly why they are doing it! At one point the person has to ask a supervisor about some of the answers Borat is throwing at him.

2) Campaign trail skit

With Borat being well known for his sexism I’m surprised the Republican allowed him to perform door to door campaign trails to help improve his image. Borat couldn’t get over the fact that women are just as equal to men and have the right to vote. This is the exact hierarchy in Kazakh he told people about ‘God, man, horse, dog, woman, rat, small bug that scuttles.’

1) Baccus skit

Learning the art of wine tasting is not as easy as it may seem, especially if you are Borat. As the older men attempt to teach him by sipping the wine, Borat quickly drinks the whole glass like it’s just a shot. This then adds an additional sense of humour as he clearly becomes drunk for the second half of the skit.

Let get straight to it…

5) Public Boner

It can be an awkward moment for everyone having a public boner, not to mention if it was being rubbed up against you by a complete stranger. Jonny Knoxville targets a mechanic who cries for him to “Take it easy my friend”

4) Paper cuts

If you have ever got a paper cut on your finger you can understand how painful it is, not to mention when these guys paper cut the webbing of their hands and feet! Steve-O once again proves he is insane when he gives himself a paper cut on the edge of his mouth.

3) Jonny Knoxville vs. A car

The title gives this one away, it’s a simple idea but you have got to credit Jonny for having the balls to stand in front of a car and let his smash into him at speed. Cleverly linking it into the intro caption “Hi, I’m Jonny Knoxville welcome to jackass and I’m going to get hit by a car real soon” makes it funny to watch.

2) Self defence with Jonny Knoxville

Knoxville tries out the latest self defence weapons that include pepper spray, a stun gun, a .38 Smith and Wesson and a taser. Not many people know but this stunt was actually filmed before the show went on live TV – it was just Knoxville and his friend doing stupid stuff.

1) Golf course air horn

One of the funniest pranks of all in my opinion, the Jackass crew hide out in the bushes armed with an air horn. They simply sound the horn when people are about to take their shot putting them off. One of the great things is that it suddenly takes a turn for the worse as a unhappy golfer starts to hit balls in their direction!

What are you favourite Jackass moments?

Have you ever saw an episode of a series and then suddenly become addicted to it and could watch enough? Recently browsing around the internet I found this article describing how TV series make you come back to watch the next episode – you will notice it from now!

5) Ridiculous cliff-hangers

You will have no doubt seen this hundreds of times before and it’s starting to become annoying, you are watching a series and the last episode of the season something major happens. For example in the finale of 24 Jack ends up being in a Chinese prison, hundreds of ideas are running through your head about how he will escape but when you finally get to watch the next season – you see him walking off of a plane in the US.

4) The couple that keeps breaking up and getting back together

When writers are doing this they are playing on your emotions, when the characters in the series finds their true love you just have to see what happens in the hope you will find your true love (if you haven’t already). One of the main reasons they keep breaking up is to bring in new characters to fill up time until they reunite together again.

3) Keeping the villains in reality shows

If you are a watcher of things such as Big Brother, Hells Kitchen or any other reality show you may assume they are rigged to attract more ratings. One of the things people love to see on TV is conflict, these are prime scenarios where you can keep the audience entertained by keeping the people that are starting the conflicts.

2) Bringing main characters back from the dead

This method is similar to the cliff-hanger method, just a different twist. It basically allows writers to have a dramatic death scene one week so that you wonder what will happen next. The next episode you watch it will be resolved within minutes of the start and all forgotten about as the story moves on.

1) Incorrect trailer for the next episode

Frankly this is the most annoying, once you have finished watching the current episode they always have a “on next week’s show…” trailer that will give you a little teaser of what you can expect. Most of the times these are over exaggerated or falsely promoting the story line which you won’t find out until your already watching the next episode.
