Our regular Tuesday correspondent had to miss this week due to something wild and crazy, and Dr. King Token White Guy Dave (me) is super busy with two final exams on Friday morning, so how about we just leave you with this amazing video from the vault… Key and Peele’s “East/West College Bowl” preview. This video is replete with amazing names, and always a pleasure to re-watch this is a NEW one… these are always a pleasure to watch! Enjoy!
None of these names are quite Orison Whipple Hungerford, Jr. but they’re also pretty fantastic! Which one’s your favorite? Let us know in the comments section!
UPDATE: It appears this is a different East/West College Bowl video – one never previously shared on the Blog of Funny Names! Woohoo for new discoveries! You can see the other one in the suggested links after the video!
These names are all so good, but for some reason Davoin Shower-Handel really struck my funny bone today.
XMus Jaxon Flaxon-Waxon is another frontrunner from the East.
Dan Smith is clearly the most interesting. But second runner up is EEEEE EEEEE. And I’d like to know why anyone would want to stop being known as Mousecop? L’Carpetron Dookmarriot: Yet another example of the D’ and L’ which seem to make the namer think that their baby is fancified and uppity and French. I think of carpets, I think of Tron, I think of the Marriott hotel. I only like one of those things.
Which one of them? Carpets? Tron? or The Marriott?
Carpets. I love carpets. I grew up w/ wood floors so whenever I watch Househunters and they’re all snobs about hardwoods, I’m like, give me plush carpet that’s soft and warm, honey. You be an 1800’s pioneer woman, not me.
My mother-in-law taught Art in China at one point, and many of the children had interesting names – one little girl was in fact called Carpet.
I’m sure she was soft and comforting.
Haha, I forgot about that story, but it’s such a good one! Your mother in law is a super lady! (said in a Mike Yamagita voice, of course!)
It’s so good to get to know you better, Kerbey!
Ha ha!
Dear Dr. King Dave–Way to step up with the video entertainment. I can’t decide which one I like the best, it’s a treasure trove.
Good luck with your finals.
Thanks Grandmaster Fannie! They’re all so good, I usually end up forgetting each name by the time the next amazing one shows up! I seriously had to pause the video and write down the names, there’s so much goodness! And this is only one of TWO different East/West Bowl videos!
I have to admit, I nearly fell off my chair laughing with the last candidate, Dan Smith, BYU. . .
I know! He was kerbey’s favorite too! Such a nice touch to add at the end!
thanks, dave. i love this so much. good luck on the exams!
Thanks Beth! I’ll need all the luck I can get!
Thank you for covering, Dr. King Dave. This from your wild and crazy correspondent. (oh, that’s not what you meant? never mind.) Hope your exams go/went well. You play the sports names so well.
I ADORE these Key & Peele College Bowl Videos. They leave me with tears streaming down my face. So. Awesome.
