Mike, you are now somehow even cooler in my book.

 
Elephant_Riders 2009-11-19 06:54:09 PM

/nice to see his humor is constant.

Funnier video (new window)

I think he's got a great way of implying how he feels items are sometimes silly.

It's called being "male" Mike. It's normal. But you are funny.

farking awesome. I've seen it before -- a longer version even -- he really goes on and on about some things... but it's just farking awesome.

crockadock: most frequently greenlit video on fark evar

really? that's funny, because...you know, ever since i started farking back in '01 im on fark pretty much every single day. and on the days im not, i catch up when i get a chance. especially on the video tab. and ive never once seen that video.

He was on Adam Carolla a while back, he seems to be pretty funny and well grounded. Likable guy.

Agreed... I've seen a Mike Rowe QVC clip on fark maybe once in the past few years, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't this one.

Anyway, the other videos of him are farking awesome:

He starts singing in this one.

Mike Rowe.

He's THE MAN.

/That is all.

 
Digimer 2009-11-19 09:14:46 PM  
I like Mike. I'd have his love child. Him and Les Stroud. Hell, together even.

/off to lala land

"I wonder if Mary knows the words. I wonder if the mouse knows the words. I wonder how the mouse feels about being carried around in a christmas sock."

Did Mike used to pass the hours on QVC by shrooming or doing LSD? I mean, he's clearly cool enough to pull it off, but after watching that, I really wanna meet him to ask.

I think he's just a creative thinker. If you had a job at QVC and quite obviously hated it, and wanted to get fired, what would you do?

My uncle taught a class at a community college in Maryland and Mike Rowe was in his class. He said he was a great guy in the class and always funny.

/Cool story, I know.

 
chemrebel [TotalFark] 2009-11-19 11:04:21 PM  
Cool find, but I gotta say I like the "John Roberts at MuchMusic back in the 80s" clip from a while back better. If only for the big hair...

/guess ya gotta start somewhere in showbiz
//kinda like the guy that gives the elephant enemas at the circus
/now that's a dirty job I'd like to see MR take on

As a victim of mermaid sexual abuse, I'm somehow turned on, yet appalled by this thread.

Um.. Little mermaid is 16 years old. Seems the folks at Disney likes to marry them off young, but come on Mike. She is 16 years old.

Cartoon, but still, just sayin'

But she lives in international waters, there's no age of consent there. It's not statutory rape if it's in the ocean.

This proved to me that Mike Rowe really was the guy everyone thinks he is. I wish him all the best of luck with his new found success. Dirty Jobs has to be the most refreshing show on TV I've seen in years. He keeps it light but actually digs in when the work gets nasty. I respect that. Because their isn't a snow ball's chance in hell I'd castrate a goat with my teeth. F*** THAT!

 
InferiousX 2009-11-20 09:18:08 AM  
Can't watch the video at the moment, just came in to say that the world is a less scary place now that I know that someone as cool as Mike Rowe shares an odd fascination with Ariel.

Yea I know it's a f***ing cartoon, but whatever.

 
Blink 2009-11-20 09:59:44 AM  
For some reason I think the first nude image I viewed on the internet was a redrawn Ariel on a newsgroup -- 1990, maybe? It was at that point that I deemed the internet the coolest damn thing in the world -- and haven't looked back since.

/did I mention the Little Mermaid is hot?

 
section_eight_piper 2009-11-20 10:33:22 AM  
Hell. Put the clips of Mike Rowe on QVC after the late night news and maybe he would have beat out Leno...

/Letterman was funny in the day
//watched it all the time
///loves slashies

True, but they do gloss over the politically awkward subjects: In the hatchery episode they never said where the chute they were tossing the male chicks lead to. Hint: they came out as a paste.

Guess Mike Rowe knows about dirty jobs. For someone in his industry I suspect hosting QVC during late-night is up there.

And Rowe on the Carolla podcast was AWESOME. Very grounded, very respectful of those who are looked down upon by elites.
