The Werner Herzog inspirational posters.





From Werner Herzog Inspirationals via Metafilter ("One of my favorite things is to do my own gloomy Herzog narrations about banal subjects. Only people who really like Werner Herzog understand how fun it is.").

Nihilism at its cheeriest

Ha! My kids and I will amuse each other doing Werner Herzog narrations. There's almost nothing he can't make interesting, even in our own imaginations.

"One of my favorite things is to do my own gloomy Herzog narrations about banal subjects."

Yes. This is a favorite at our house too.

I suppose I'd prefer Werner Herzog's gloomy nihilist picture-shows to the inchoate folk-howls of Bob Dylan.

Thank you for the wonderful link.

Herzog should write copy for Despair.com if he ever loses his day job.

A recent one:

"The washing machine has a setting called Smart Wash. On this setting the machine uses an array of sensors to detect the soil level of the dishes and adjusts the cleaning cycle length and water usage accordingly. The man presses the button for Pots and Pans instead because he does not trust the machine."

Paul F. Thompkins does a great Werner Herzog. Check him out on various Earwolf podcasts; I know he's done the impression a bunch on Comedy Bang Bang.
