Friday Funny 9: Cool/Nerdy Graphs

>> Friday, November 07, 2008



So Graph Jam just rocks. I totally geek out at the fun graphs and charts that they have. I collected 30 of my favorite for you today. I hope they make you chortle.

First, here are 13 graphs that visually illustrate song lyrics:



























And here are 17 graphs that are just random and delicious:










So true!




LOVE IT!


This proves I like cartoons...








Us nerds know this it true!




I dunno, I always drowned in the river...


Pharmie is going to LOVE this one! (not a David Caruso fan)





So there are few of us going to a 6.23 kilometer run tomorrow. Yes, a “6.23 K” run. It’s for a fundraiser for school district 623. My costume will consist of a pile of newspaper that I will crinkle up...



...and stuff inside this costume so I will look like a plump, round, ripe tomato:



It should get some fun reactions! I’ll see if I can get Borsch to take a bunch of photos at the race. If you haven’t voted for me yet, please go here and cast your vote! Thanks! Happy Friday!

Good luck with the voting!

Curious....who long did that take you to post?

You made my Friday funny Steve....:)

Can't wait to see the results of your 6.23K run.... especially the photos and the report. Good luck!

Funny graphs, I too am interested in seeing the 6.23K, hope you can get some good pictures for that.

man those where some funny graphs.
careful running as a tomato, one wrong step and SPLAT!

Glaven Q. Heisenberg 7:53 AM, November 07, 2008  

Wait. So if the spectators don't care for your performance in that costume, what will they throw at you? Your tomato brethren????

It'll be a TOMATO HOLOCAUST!!

O, the toma-nity!

Good luck on the run. You already have my vote.

The graphs are great. They made me laugh out loud. Especially the laser pointer one. I can relate to that. LOL

Jess 8:22 AM, November 07, 2008  

Those are all funny! Have fun as a tomato on your run this weekend!

sRod 8:59 AM, November 07, 2008  

Ahhh, now Friday has started.

Carolina John 9:09 AM, November 07, 2008  

That's hysterical, Steve. Good call!

Amy Jurrens 9:43 AM, November 07, 2008  

I'm totally putting the "Cowbell" graph on my blog. That is my favorite SNL skit of all time. Plus, everyone calls my kettlebells "cowbells." It's become a kettlebell insider's joke.

I voted and I think you're a shoe in! Good luck this weekend. Don't splat!!

21stCenturyMom 9:53 AM, November 07, 2008  

You are the best! It is precisely because you put so much effort into the Friday funnies that I did, in fact, vote for you. Well done, sir - well done!

ps - I now have that George Michaels song stuck in my head - crap!

tfh 10:38 AM, November 07, 2008  

These are so funny! Thanks for the Friday laugh and have fun tomato racing.

Sarah 11:32 AM, November 07, 2008  

I saw Alanis last night here in Portland. I think your graph is accurate :)

Trishie 12:49 PM, November 07, 2008

Smithposts... 1:08 PM, November 07, 2008  

Oh Steve! I hope you don't sweat, you are going to be covered in newsprint!

Felice Devine 2:16 PM, November 07, 2008  

I think I just laughed my headache away. Thanks!

George Houston 2:34 PM, November 07, 2008  

I always try to forge the river, and I always drowned.

Great Stuff!

kerri 2:35 PM, November 07, 2008  

Holy crap!!! Where in the heck did you find all that stuff. Lots of laughs.

Michele 7:05 PM, November 07, 2008  

OMG, I was laughing so hard my hubby had to know what website to go to!!!!

Michelle 7:40 PM, November 07, 2008  

HAHA great friday post!!! Love the graphs so much!!

Now seriously i though your outfit for the run looked like granny underware!!! The large red panty looking thing???

WHat is wrong with me??

Marci 8:16 PM, November 07, 2008  

LOL. You are the male equivalent to Marcy!

Marci 8:16 PM, November 07, 2008  

ps that's a great compliment, BTW!

Runner Susan 9:11 PM, November 07, 2008  

Did this take you all day? Seriously, very funny. You know what I've learned about blogging in a decimated economy, clusterfucked war, and the worst-run Republican campaign in history? That if you call the current President of the United States "Asshole of the Universe" you're gonna get a lot of hate mail. No kidding. I thought that was just general common knowledge About George by now. Who knew?

Aka Alice 9:40 PM, November 07, 2008  

hahahahah

Na, Hey, Goodbye and What People Call Me are my faves... I needed that :-))

Have a great time tomorrow.

CoachLiz 10:41 PM, November 07, 2008  

Love the Curing a Fever/ Cowbell graph.

Hey wait, I thought that Shaun kid who does all the snowboarding was called the Flying Tomato!!!

Julianne 1:23 AM, November 08, 2008  

Did you make all those graphs?!?! Man, you must have aced your way through Geometry! ;-)

skoshi 8:52 AM, November 08, 2008  

Ummmm...I didn't get the peanut butter one, but the rest had me rolling.

Aren't you going to sound a little crinkly with all that newspaper in there? How about those little packing peanuts--so you can shake it up a little?
So...is this a tomato fundraiser?

Melissa 9:39 AM, November 08, 2008  

OMG, those graphs are freakin' hilarious. Thanks for making me laugh. Can't wait to see your tomato pics. Have a great weekend.

Ms. V. 11:19 AM, November 08, 2008  

I LOVE the Jeffrey Dahmer one.

~~chortling~~

SingletrackJenny (formerly known as IronJenny) 11:30 AM, November 10, 2008  

The head and shoulders one had me laughing out loud for real. And then I got all ashamed for laughing so hard at that one.
Shame on me!!!
hahahahahhahahahaahhahaha

RooBabs 2:19 PM, November 12, 2008  

Oh how I love me a Friday Funny from Steve (even if it's on a Wednesday). Love all the graphs!

Sarah 5:43 PM, November 12, 2008  

oh. my. god. Those graphs were the BEST THING EVER, ESPECIALLY FOR A GRAPH NERD LIKE ME!!!

i looooooooooooved it!

I hate to admit that one of the ones I cracked up the most at was the one about MS Word and fixing the damn auto formatting crap.

I also loved the child/parent IQ...and the Nickelback one (b/c I hate them, esp)...and the OREGON TRAIL ONE...oh okay I loved them all, what the hell.

THANKS, STEVE! I def laughed...
