This Week’s Top Comedy Video: Carmen Electra’s C*m Ghosts

This Week's Top Comedy Video: Carmen Electra's C*m Ghosts

The horrible question everyone should never have to ask themselves: what if? What if you studied a little more? What if you worked a little harder? What if you exercised and tried to be more healthy? What if you actually asked that person out on a date? What if you took a vacation? What if you never stayed up late at night and masturbated to Carmen Electra?

This Week's Top Comedy Video: iPhone 5F

The iPhone 5C not cheap enough for you? Funny or Die says Apple should make a legitimately crappy phone called the iPhone 5F. All it does is play snake, tether, charge without a lightning cable and let you use your friend’s iPhones. You wanted cheap, right?
