OJ Simpson had a "improv-based hidden-camera prank TV show Juiced."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson#Juiced




In one episode, Simpson is at a used car lot in Las Vegas, where he attempts to sell his white Ford Bronco (which became infamous during his 1994 police chase). A bullet hole in the front of the SUV is circled with his autograph, and he pitches it to a prospective buyer by saying that if they "ever get into some trouble and have to get away, it has escapability."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon_intelligence
Levenson et al.[2] demonstrated in a 2015 paper that rock dove pigeons (Columba livia) ... can serve as promising surrogate observers of medical images, a capability not previously documented. The birds were tested on their ability to distinguish benign from malignant human breast histopathology images and could even apply what they had learned to previously unseen images.
After two weeks the pigeons were 85% accurate picking out images with malignancy, and eventually got up to 99% accurate.

This ancient Yo Mama joke just made me laugh so hard:
The incarnations of filial piety in various cultures are reflected by examples through history.

Rabbi Eliezer (c. 100 CE) was said[5] to have interrupted a man reading aloud the opening words of the then-banned and still-troubling Ezekiel 23.

Man: "Mortal, proclaim to Jerusalem her abominations..."
Eliezer: "Why don't you go out and proclaim the abominations of your mother?"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped ... abuse/List

new all time favorite. the wikipedia list of vandalising editors and sock puppet troll users they keep a record of and their various m.o.'s

unbelievably funny
Billy North - Adds fictitious individual "Clutch Kahn" to associated acts or former member fields of infoboxes for alternative rock and blues artists. Once created accounts, now an IP hopping vandal.
Teenage Fairytale Dropouts vandal - A frequent vandaliser of Wikipedia for several years. Most of their edits involve adding false, unsourced and/or dubious information about the children's television program Teenage Fairytale Dropouts. They predominantly target the articles So Fresh and So Random! as well as the associated pages of these articles.
Techno genre warrior from Greece - This is a genre warrior from Greece who concentrates on music articles that are related to EDM, house, big beat, breakbeat, Eurodance, trance, etc. Without ever referencing a published source, the person frequently adds "techno" to the genre parameter of an infobox, or replaces existing genres with "techno".
Pinkalicious vandal - Adding false and unsubstantiated information to Pinkalicious & Peterrific, and occasionally also Donkey Hodie (TV series). Additional behavior includes date changing.
Chipmunks vandal - Adding trivial details about covers by fictional bands, especially Alvin and the Chipmunks, as well as Glee TV performances.
Muppets LTA - Two users from the United States, (one from Indiana typically on Frontier, one from California typically on Comcast) persistently adding indiscriminate lists focused on "Background Muppets" or "Background characters" or "Muppet cameos" or "Not Featured Muppets" across a wide variety of articles related to The Muppets. Active circa mid-2015 to present (2017).
read this one in line at the post office and i thought i was going to die from trying to control my laughters
