The Barkley Effect is weekly article on BWB with a collection of videos and photos that have surfaced in the past week we think you should see. Inspired by Sir Charles we try to bring top quality hilarity. Enjoy!

Videos

I guess in Japan they don’t go with the customary Lord’s Prayer before games. Instead a gay band that did drugs and sang about sex, so like the complete opposite.

The Japanese just churn out great videos! I don’t know what I would do without the occational Japanese game show.

My first reaction was, “Why would William Hung do this at a Wisconson Woodchucks Game”. Then I realized that this was the first William Hung sighting in almost 4 years and it changed to 1) How did Hung get this gig? and 2) You would think in 4 years he would at least change up the song!  I guess he really dropped the science degree and went all out with his music. That’s what you call a bad career move kids.

Terrible reporting, shameless product promotion, and a retarded answer by a sports legend. Great!

Not really funny. Just a really amazing commercial from Nike.

A Michael Jackson tribute or the female equivalent of a circle jerk?

I guess Ryan Anderson has MAD potential. If he’s scoring 7.4 points in kindergarten think of what he can do when he’s 20! He must be in Arnold’s class where story time is replaced with dead lifts and squat thrusts. IT’S NOT A TUMOR!

What? You didn’t know Canada’s national sport was snow swimming and not hockey? Come on just like I know the US national sport is actually Bong Rip Time Trials. Why else would your national hero be participating? This is actually from a FCL article which is a must read!

You probably can’t see but Eze over at A Royal Pain has put Bedo Udrich up for sale on EBay. Hey Eze, try a year with Alvin Williams post knee issues and you will wish for Udrih back. Trust me. In other news the Raptors have welcomed back Williams to the coaching staff, much like his playing days he is demanding 5+ million to provide a sub par service*. YAY! (*Williams is not actually asking for 5+ mill and actually seems like a good coach)
