2-D photography Rube Goldberg Machine

Amazing Police Motorcycle skills

Credit where credit is due!

The Barfing Cup!

With hilarious sound effects.

Carol Burnett and friends Bloopers and Bust ups

I grew up watching this show.

Flash Gordon Cartoon Intro

We’ve been watching the ’67 Spider-man cartoons on Netflix recently and it reminded me of watching the Flash Gordon cartoon with my dad as a kid. I think it came on super early and the weird creatures scared me (I can’t have been more than 5 or 6 when it originally aired), but I still remember being really into it.

High-speed robot hand

Oh for fuck’s sake. when these things take over we are in SO MUCH TROUBLE!

Cassini mission set to music

CASSINI MISSION from Chris Abbas on Vimeo.

I could watch this for forever. space is fun!

Abandoned Aerojet Rocket Factory in Florida

Space Miami – Aerojet-Dade Rocket Site Documentary from Coffee and Celluloid on Vimeo.

As an urban exploration nut, this is the fascination to me. I especially love the voice over historical narration to give some depth to the images.

Cat that gets busted barking like a dog

Here’s that damned cat that everyone has seen already barking like a dog until it gets caught by its owner and then… meow!

Freakoutman – Only you make my dreams come true

Drunk Baby Trashes Bar

Trailer for the short film “Las Palmas” by Johannes Nyholm, due out later this year.

Whiskey the cat gets some Bustin!

Bustins for kitties!

Adrian Edmondson in a bank commercial

Not sure if this was the pre-Young-Ones inspiration for Vyvian, or a post-Young Ones advert capitalizing on the series. Either way it’s pretty funny.

How far is the moon from the earth?

Now you know.

Batman gets pwned

Batman sucks at DC Universe vs. Mortal Kombat

A Painful Glimpse into the writing process

A Painful Glimpse Into My Writing Process [In Less Than 60 Seconds] from chel white on Vimeo.

A psychotic animation from Chel White about his writing process. Seems legit.

Faves of the Week:

Tron Sweded:

Jumping on the Tron bandwagon. I still get a kick out of the “sweded” format from “Be Kind, Rewind”

Augmented Reality Written Sign Translator

This looks damn handy! I wonder if it mimics handwriting, too.

Animated with Google Docs

Infographics Gone Wild! I do a pie chart every week for one of the publications I design and have them all saved sans information in a big Illustrator Doc.

Video Game with Pee Peripheral

I’ve been talking about this one for years. What better way to spend 30 seconds at the john. You could have all sorts of mini games revolving around force (distance), quantity (balloon burst game), stop start, precision, targets, maybe even an sobriety tester.

Behind the Scenes: Aqua Teen Hunger Force

The ATHF gang recording their lines. My favorites are the Mooninites and the Plutonians.

Paraskiing down a mountain

Superior, Speed Fly from Marshall Miller on Vimeo.

Put this on full screen and sit back. I just kept waiting for one of the parachutes to get caught on a tree or rock and end the trip really quick.

Stride SHIFT Gum commercial

um… and now a word from our sponsor? I would take free gum. Really I just like this commercial.

This is amazing. This guy uploaded a video to Youtube, ripped it from Youtube and then reloaded it 1,000. Like photocopying a photocopy of a photocopy etc etc. The degradation is really cool

It’s maybe a little too long to be the next Toy Food, but at least wait until he jumps into the sun.

every infomercial fail.

or at least a lot of them.

AntIlion’s Flickr lure photobucket.

Tod — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 02:24:12 +0000

This guy has presumably created an entire catalog of images to post on people’s photos on Flickr so that he can lure them onto his page, which he populates with cliche religious propaganda.

The crudely photoshopped images of him hanging out with celebrities in the photobucket are a lot alike at first, but then he starts getting more specific with things like “nice motorcycle pic” “great sky color”

Weird Block Animation

Tod — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 01:03:34 +0000

I was totally ready to call “amateur” on this, but the longer I watched the more I thought it was intentional. 4+ minutes is a lot for some slackers.
