As more companies use software such as Zoom for interviews and meetings, an increasing number of hilarious technical difficulties have made their way to social media for all the world to see.

This is one of those instances.

On Australian TV channel 9 News Adelaide, interview guest Mark Borlace from Australia’s Royal Automobile Association couldn't turn off his interesting background or the hilarious filter used on his screen.

Eventually Borlace was able to blur it out, but then in a grand show of comedy, a little pizza hat appeared on his head.

At least Borlace had a sense of humor during the ordeal.

“Thanks for your tolerance while I go through this."

As expected, commenters appreciated the hilarity.

Singer and satirist Randy Rainbow has been parodying politics since the first presidency of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump. But Trump isn't the focus of Rainbow's latest comedy music video.

Instead, the performer—whose name really is Randy Rainbow—set his sights on the mysterious 92-day disappearance of Kentucky MAGA Republican Senator and former Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell. In June, the 84-year-old lawmaker reportedly fell at his home and was taken to the hospital.

We Just Got Our First Look At AMC's New 'Dune: Part 3' Popcorn Bucket—And They Really Went There

Remember when a Dune popcorn bucket sent the internet into a collective meltdown? Well, AMC Theatres apparently looked at all that chaos and thought, “Cute. Let's double it.” The popcorn bucket madness continues with Dune: Part Three, and this time, the sandworms are coming in pairs.

AMC is pitching its new Double Sandworm Collectible as a way to make sharing popcorn easier. A thoughtful gesture, really, although the two gaping, tooth-lined mouths suggest the design team may have had a little too much fun with the assignment.
