A Sitcom Waiting To Happen: Somebody's Grandpa Using Twitter As A Search Engine

May 18, 2011 / eh, fake, grampa, hoax, iffy, looking for things, nice try buddy!, old people, questionable, search, searching for things, social networking, the sad thing is this shit'll be a show by the end of the year, twitter, whatever, your dad is a pervert!

Note: Long-ass screencap of all his searches to date HERE.

These are allegedly the search queries of an 81-year old grandpa whose elder-disrespecting son has convinced Twitter is a search engine. It has highly questionable written all over it considering 1. gramps only makes like one or two searches a day and 2. never gets any results but keeps trying. Okay, that second one actually makes it sound believable. Still, some freebies in case you ever get stuck:

bob barker girls
is rapture really saturday?
boner pill side effects
mexico pharmacy
the golf channel disappeared
lawn deterrent
stop pop ups
tv guide
tempurpedic mattress cancer
joint paint
meryl streep oops picture
delete internet history

That wasn't so hard. I call kid trying to score a book/sitcom deal. Is 'Shit my Dad Says' even on the air anymore? *Googling -- but not on Twitter like Methuselah here* Cancelled after the first season -- shocking. God, somebody green-light my f***ing show already -- I've got at least enough good (fap) material to go two.

Thanks to Tom, who uses Youtube as a search engine and stays entertained for hours.

    This is a presumably fake-ass video of a Bigfoot sighting in Provo Canyon, Utah. I'm not positive what the hell I was looking at, but I'm pretty confident it was either a bear, a dog burying some turds in a hole, or a person in a gorilla costume. And is it just a coincidence ... / Continue →
  • UPDATE: A Helicopter Hotel That Flies
    April 3, 2009
    The Hotelicopter is allegedly real, although I have some serious doubts (especially if you go to THIS PAGE and see how they're hocking some renderings as real "test flight" pictures). That, and we're two days to April 1st. Still, it might be (but it's totally not). Experie... / Continue →
  • MC Hammer Launching Google Competitor
    October 21, 2011
    *knock knock* Who's there? Hello -- HELLO?! I dunno, I think it's Google but all I can hear is laughing. So MC Hammer is launching his own search engine. Is it gonna suck? Do I really need to answer that? But wait -- it's got deep searching. WTF is a deep search? No clu... / Continue →
