Okay, so this is really more creepy than funny, but in the video below, some guy basically explains (in way too much detail) that the man in the video is Thomas Pynchon and then spends two minutes explaining what we can take away from it.
Some of you might recall that CNN did a story on Pynchon and filmed him walking down a crowded New York street, but did not say who he was in that crowded street. This is the video.
I don't know if this actually is Pynchon; even if I did know what he looked like, it would be hard to say that it's him because the picture is just way too blurry.
Even funnier than the video is the comments to the video. Enjoy...

Compare the man on the TV with the first guy to return a movie (angrily) in "Be Kind, Rewind." (BKR)
The guy in BKR says something like "This tape don't work," and we'd think Pynchon would speak a lot better than that, but I think that's the joke.
BKR's rewriting of classic movies would appeal to Pynchon, but YMMV.
