Cringe porn. BuzzFeed have introduced Father Ted to our American brothers and sisters, and the results are unsurprisingly grating. Our skin started crawling pretty early into this video when the first of Buzzfeed’s team of hired hipsters says “Look at that font choice… I’m cringing a little.” Font-choice is make or break for comedies, after all.

At 46-years-young Roy Jones Jr is still dusting fools for fun. Amazingly, former multi-division titleholder Jones Jr is still fighting and still knocking dummies out.
