The Bachelor Ben Flajnik

February 21, 2012 · 3 comments

I don’t know if you’re as fanatical about watching The Bachelor as I am, but you probably should be. This season the singleton making all the waves is a woman named Courtney who happens to be bat shit crazy. Every season there’s a crazy one, but they usually don’t make it to the top four. Unless you’re Vienna who actually took home the final rose in Jake’s season.

This season it’s Courtney (watch her in action):

And she has managed to woo Ben so much so that not only are his red flags not alerting him of her ‘crazy’, but he’s ignoring every other woman who has attempted to warn him.

On their date this week Courtney planned a faux wedding where her and Ben each had to write faux numptials and recite them in front of a faux ordained minister.

What’s more awkward is that Courtney seemingly stole her vows from an episode of Sex and the City.

It’s almost too good to be true.

But what’s even better are the spoofs that surface throughout the duration of the show. Thank you Ellen:

It started with this amazing talented group singing Goyte’s Somebody That I Used To Know together on a single guitar.


(video here).

After they hit 30 million views Ellen DeGeneres had them on her show. Which is awesome because they had a bit of backlash on their video of people accusing them of staging the whole thing. To see them do it Live was like an “oh SNAP” moment on the haters:

Naturally when you find one YouTube Viral Video you’ll soon find a slew of spinoffs. This is by far the funniest parody I’ve seen of this group so far:

Clearly I need a guitar to get on Ellen.

This guy took his girlfriend to Disneyland and arranged a flash mob dance that she doesn’t know he’s involved in. And THEN he starts dancing with them and it’s awesome and THEN he proposes and it’s awesome. Seriously the best proposal ever:


(Video here)

I can only follow up the best proposal video ever with the best wedding dance video ever. I’m just bummed I couldn’t be AT this wedding to join the fun. These guys look like a blast:

These women video taped an amazing ‘murmuration’ of Starlings. Can you even imagine coming across this on a canoe ride? Amazing (murmuration begins about :25 in):

This guy was minding his own business on his Kayak when a dog came swimming up out of nowhere. Watch him take care of that sweet little pup as he tries to figure out where the heck he came from:


(video here)

It was actually a very sad thing that happened to this pup. His owner was struck by a car while walking him and he startled. Full story here.

Lastly, there’s nothing like be approached by giant WHALES while you paddle through icy water. Seriously people. This is exactly why I stay away from large bodies of water:

We’re much better off just happening what goes on in on those boats from the comfort of our computers. Thank you YouTube.

I got sucked into watching a BUNCH of reunion videos on Youtubes where US soldiers surprise loved ones by coming home unexpectedly. I cry instantly. I can’t imagine missing someone like that while they’re off doing such dangerous work. Not knowing if they’re going to come home to you. So the relief, joy, shock, love…all of that on their faces just turns me into a heap of tears.

What I want to share are videos of soldiers that I think will make you smile. Type in “bored marines” on Youtube and you’ll get an endless supply of silly videos. I like these ones…

Dancing Marines:

More dancing…I smiled through this whole things and at 3:06, that pretty much exactly what Pat looks like when he dances:


(video here).

How about a Marine singing along to Taylor Swift:

Marines coming home:


(video here)

Marines who WANT to come home (okay this one’s a little sad):


(video here)

We’ll conclude with just ONE of my favorite reunion videos. I can’t help myself. Try not to cry:
