CollegeHumor’s Favorite Funny Videos

At Sad City we are huge fans of The Wire and, having been born in the 1980's, we are huge fans of 8 and 16-bit role playing games. This genius video from College Humor combines both. The great thing about this video and The Wire, is that the players and setting could change but the narrative generally remains the same throughout many U.S. cities. 

This is a hilarious must watch for any fan of The Wire.

A while back Jumper met up with the King of Recycle and followed along with him as he went through the West End recycling. A truly remarkable Hartford character. We thought it was worth a second look.

Amazing video of todays flooding at University of Hartford. Great footage but have to feel terrible for the car owners. Hat tip to HartfordInformer for this video.

The Hindenburg Over Hartford

Sad City reader Bruce B. clued us into this amazing video of the ill-fated Hindenburg blimp zeppelin flying over Hartford in 1936.  The Hindenburg would famously  be destroyed in a May 6, 1937 fire and crash that killed 35 passengers and one person on the ground and ended the era of blimps as passenger transportation.  Photographs of the Hindenburg crashing are some of the most recognizable photos ever taken.

Easily recognizable Hartford landmarks the Traveler's tower and the State Capitol can be seen in this clip.
