THEME WEEK: Black Friday

The following is a video recording found in the aftermath of the friday the 13th outbreak that took place in Edinburgh, Scotland. The recording was found in a garage beneath a local pub near Princes Street. The cause of the riots is still as of yet unknown but mass reports of murder, insanity, and cannibalism are still coming in. 1/4 of the city is still in official military quarantine.

Spokespersons from the government have yet to comment although initial reports are that the disease is of a viral nature and remains highly infectious. Religious extremists have been quick to denounce the event as an act of God pointing to the date of the events occurrence, friday the 13th, as proof for their claims.

Residents are advised to stay indoors and not approach ANYONE who appears to be acting strangely.

THEME WEEK: Language Class

Salut le gang,

Today's theme comes from "Anonymous", one our most frequent posters, who provided the theme of "Languages". To explore this theme, we created a short scene and performed it in four different languages.

We'd like to give a shout out to free online translators, who provided us with terribly mistranslated lines like "Really, you have certain?" that are the cornerstone of foreign language comedy. Thank you, online translators! You can be useful to more than just Grade 9 French students.

In other news, the UK has made a direct copy of the Apprentice with a less toupee-y version of Donald Trump. It's called "The Apprentice". So much for European originality.

Also, I am incapable of making grilled cheese sandwiches.

Adios,

John from Canada

THEME WEEK: That's What She Said

Greetings Bedfellows,

Today is day 3 of the highly anticipated THEME WEEK. We would like to extend a special thanks to 'Alex' who suggested today's theme of "That's what she said". To help underscore today's theme I have prepared a brief history of the commonly used phrase, see below, so viewers can better understand the phrase's root and varying uses through the ages.

1 B.C.E - 1975 C.E

During its early periods "that's what she said" was used to refer to what a person of the female gender had previously said

1975-1999

In this period "that's what she said" evolved to take a humorous connotation. The phrase was used to point out and identify sexual meanings behind everyday conversation" ex.

Person 1: I couldn't get any sleep last night

Person 2: That's what she said

In this circumstance the phrase implies that person 1's lack of sleep was due to sexual activity regardless of the fact that in actuality Person 1 had diagnosed insomnia.

1999-2009

Though the term did not change in meaning during this time it is important to note that "That's what she said" fell from popularity during this time making brief but successful comebacks at sporadic points throughout this period.

On a different note PLEASE continue sending in themes. We need as many as possible in order to continue our efforts in the highly anticipated THEME WEEK. Thanks and enjoy the video.

Ting,

Stuart from Canada

THEME WEEK: Dropping Bombs

Welcome to Day 2 of Theme Week everybody! Today's theme comes from Nathan, who suggested the theme of "Dropping Bombs in the Morning and Taking Names in the Evening". Well done!

This theme was a challenging one. But nonetheless, we faced it head on and I think we did a pretty good job of it. Remember, if you want to see us humiliate ourselves to your theme, suggest it by posting it in the comments or emailing us at info@lastoke.ca.

In other news, spaghetti is not as good as fusilli. The debate about penne still rages on.

Take cover,

John from Canada

P.S: Due to an error caused by Blogger's upload service, some early viewers may have seen a somewhat incomplete version of the video. The version below has been corrected. This is just yet another demonstration of what we have learnt many times before: that nothing will work the way you need it to.

P.P.S: That said, we still honour and respect Google's noble attempts at bringing vlogs to the people and we hope we have not affronted Them in any way.

P.P.P.S: We're sorry, Google.







P.P.P.P.S: Really sorry.
