This isn’t exactly TV-related, but it absolutely must be shared. This is Joseph Kramer in the 1998 video Uranus: Self Anal Massage for Men. Yes, it is real. He has some helpful advice for all of us.

If you do one hundred anal breaths a day, you will start to let go of anal tension.

I’m no ass doctor, but isn’t a little bit of anal tension a good thing? I mean, without it, there’d be poo everywhere.

Also, I have no idea what an “anal breath” is, but your mom sure had it last night.

I’m all about equality here at Warming Glow, which is why I try to treat everyone with the same amount of disdain, whether they be fatties, uggos, foreigners, furries, or “Oprah” fans. I’ve even made fun of women with big boobs, and they’re the best people on the planet. And so it is in the spirit of equality that I introduce you to Mr. Blow Up, the United Kingdom’s leader in inflatable latex fetishism. Commenter Upstate Underdog writes:

This was on some TV channel over in England. F*cking weird stuff, maybe even too weird for Warming Glow.

Too weird for Warming Glow?!?! I think not! That’s a gauntlet I’m going to pick up. After you watch the video, come with me on a journey through the most troubling images in the video.

This may not be an actual TV clip, but this interview with an Irishman who works in finance was one of the highlights of my weekend (in fairness, my weekend was not that exciting). Asked about the demise of the Celtic Tiger — the unprecedented economic growth that Ireland enjoyed from 1995-2007 — this old dude goes off on a colorful and salty rant about “wankin’ bankers” who should be spending the rest of their lives in jail. It’s fantastic. (Be sure to stick around for the final exchange, which is easily the best part.) I wish this guy was my grandfather. He seems like the kind of grandpa who would give you whiskey at age eight and teach you how to take a punch.

Former “Married With Children” actor David Faustino was one of a litany of minor celebrities and cultural footnotes from the ’80s and early ’90s featured in the delightfully bizarre version of “Let It Be” that cropped up on the Intarwebs late last week. Beyond the obvious question of why an incredibly random assemblage of obscure has-beens singing a schmaltzy song can bring joy to even the most downtrodden of souls is the matter of how exactly this Norwegian television program was able to make it happen seemingly without notice.

I just figured it was the obvious answer: that Norwegians exert complete control of the banks and the entertainment industry, but apparently they they took a more roundabout way to make this particular video happen. Says Bud:

“It was just one of those things that happened on the red carpet at some event, where a camera crew nabbed random, extremely gullible celebrities — apparently like myself — and asked them for an interview,” he tells The Hollywood Reporter. Faustino adds that the singing portion was presented at the end. “They were, like, ‘We’re putting this video together and it’s for charity,’ ” he says. “At least I remember I THOUGHT I was doing something good for somebody.”

As for whether his participation was obtained under false pretenses? Says Faustino: “Oh well. Live and learn. F*ck it. Let it Be.”

That’s the kind of devil-may-care attitude I remember from Grandmaster B. Good to see that time and irrelevance haven’t softened him after all. Maybe he can drop a few bars in the next video those sneaky Norse folk release.

This video is presently blowing up on Tumblr and every other blog that’s remotely like this one (the difference: fewer cats), and while the premise is simple enough — fading stars from the ’80s and ’90s lip sync to “Let It Be” — the execution is a six-minute ride to Wondertown. The YouTube description says:

This is a music video that promotes the Norwegian television entertainment program “Golden Times”. The program runs on the TV channel, TV2 in Norway.

I don’t even want to name any of the people in this video, because the surprises are so random and enjoyable that I’d hate to spoil it. But I’ll say this much: the Norwegian titles really spice it up. If the word “kuntsløper” doesn’t make you giggle, you’re reading the wrong TV blog.

UPDATE: Oh dear God, there’s ANOTHER one for “We Are the World” (see below). They somehow didn’t use up all the washed-up stars with the “Let It Be” video.
