Films You Have Never Seen (And Should Thank God For That)

The Funny Man April 15th, 2007

Every year hundreds of new films are produced. Unfortunately, this amount of production leads to some gems of cinema being lost in the crowd. To help you, the Daily Dose Of Funny staff has picked some films you probably haven’t seen already, and might want to.

The Eye Creatures

The eye creatures are invading earth! And the only people that know are two adolescents! But don’t worry, after much fighting and after an spectacular scape from prison they will be able to defeat them using the powerful headlights of their car, which makes the creatures explode.

This film does have some technical problems, like the day turning into night, and night into day without much chronological sense, or the fact that you can see the zipper in the creatures’ costumes. Or how the creatures use snickers, for some reason (apparently Nike’s marketing isn’t limited to our planet) and sometimes they only use half the costume.

Beyond that, the films opening screen shows the movie title to be “Attack of The The Eye Creatures”. But please, don’t let these details keep you way from this small classic.

The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant

Dr. Girard is a rich scientist conducting head transplant experiments. He is especially interested in transplanting two heads to the same body, something that will certainly be of much use to humanity at some point. However, the doctor is faced with a grave problem when a murdering maniac invades his home and kills Danny’s father (Danny is a man with the mind of a child), and ends up being mortally wounded himself.

Realizing that Danny is very nervous with the death of his father and seeing the maniac almost dying, Dr. Roger has a great idea: why not transplant the head of the murderer into Danny’s body?

Unfortunately the Doctor’s plan go astray when two-heads escapes and starts killing several people. Well, his intentions were good…

The Wild World of Batwoman

The busty Batwoman fights crime with the always ready to dance Batgirls. Their work isn’t always perfect. For example, there is one scene in which the Batgirls watch a man being murdered. Later they tell Batwoman. Kind of too late now, girls!

But they sure try. And dance, of course.

Batwoman biggest challenge comes when a crazy scientist builds an atomic bomb using the hearing device of his assistant. Beyond that, the evil scientist must also have copied the Batwoman’s lair, since his hideout looks exactly like it.

In an thrilling final confrontation Batwoman and the Batgirls fight not only the scientist, but also his clone. After he is defeated the scientist surrenders the bomb and kisses his assistant. I guess they were more than just good friends. The Batgirls celebrate victory with a little dancing, of course.

Th movie mentions something called “happiness pills”, which the villain uses. Perhaps you should look for one of those before watching this movie.

Things You Shouldn’t Say to Your Girlfriend’s Parents

The Funny Man April 15th, 2007

Meeting the parents can be an awkward and tense situation. The need to impress often leads, paradoxically, to people making mistakes and saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

But fear not! Daily Dose of Funny is here to help you in this difficult time. We have compiled a list of ten things you should avoid saying to your girlfriend’s parents at all costs. And here it is:

1. Do you know a good motel?
- You want to take my daughter to a motel !?
- No! Someone completely different.

2. You have a nice house, don’t you? Must have been expensive. If someone was to kidnap your daughter they could ask for a lot of money, right? Hypothetically speaking.

3. Don’t worry, I drive very carefully. Because if the cops stop me I’m screwed, I have ten pounds of cocaine in the truck and my license is expired.

4. They say weight is genetically determined. I hope not, I hope not.

5. You daughter is so beautiful. Not as much as Layla, but still.

6. You taught your daughter how to cook? Oh, well, that explains it.

7. Damn, I spilled coke on my pants. Could you get that nice maid of yours to help me clean this up?

8. My god, with your age a normal person would already be dead!!

9. Did you by any chance fall on your face as you were riding your bike? No? So that is natural?

10. Please tell me she was adopted!!
