10 Misconceptions Rundown

I hope this clears everything up.

Shit Blowing up in Microwaves

Yeah, this is a commercial but shite blowing up in microwaves looks awesome.

Apple Scotland

Siri has problems understanding the local dialect. I don’t think there’s a better accent for scathing strings of profanity than Scottish.

Run For Your Lives 5K Zombie Run

Run For Your Lives 2011 from Alexander Turoff on Vimeo.

This seems like great fun. Could be improved with paintball guns and more aggressive zombies. Or maybe some hallucinogenics.

Atari Video Music Demonstration

Here’s a rare old piece of electronics that I would love to find at a thrift store one day (good luck they only made them for a year). Not sure what the weird ass music is.

Wonder Woman transforms

The dizzying action doesnt begin until about a minute in. Ka-POW!

Alex Trebek filming promos drunk

It was recently revealed that Pat Sajak hosted Wheel of Fortune on occasion so I dug up this old clip of Alex Trebek drinking a brew and swearing at the camera while filming bumps. Love the accent!

Hello from Movie Quotes

Hello from ant1mat3rie on Vimeo.
Just as the name says… Lionel Richie’s Hello edited together from movie quotes.

In the heart of Trantor – 3D fractal trip

A fractal trip into infinity. I’m not quite smart enough to know exactly what I’m looking at here, but for what I can gather, computing power has gotten good enough to allow you to fly through an infinite fractal. Pretty cool!

Glitches in the Sims

Here’s a collection of glitches in the Matrix… I mean the Sims. I have a lot to say about how the We play the Sims and the Sims can even play the Sims, but who is playing our Sims?

Boob Puppet Theater (sNSFW for side boob)

Someone found a loop-hole to be able to put boobs onto Youtube. Even though it’s a cheap gag, they did a good job with the facial expressions and puppeteering (such as it is).

Paranormal Sounds from the Earth

These certainly sound creepy and it would be neat if they were real, but my money is on viral video campaign for some new disaster movie.

SENSELESS DRAWING BOT from yang02 on Vimeo.

I love machines that make art. We had to build some in college and one guy stuck paint in a disassembled tame measure and blew paint all over the class room.

Siri Argument

This has been making the rounds but it’s a pretty good win for College Humor.

Proteigon

PROTEIGON from BURAYAN on Vimeo.

A sweet animation about a paper cube. Well executed!

Mars Dentistry Holiday Commercial

Sure, this is a holiday message, but it’s lateness here at todorrobot sort of fits the bill. Brilliantly “bad” commercial.

araabMUZIK dubstep live

As a drummer, I’m not a big fan of the drum solo. This guy, however, is the sickest drum machine player I’ve ever seen. Shit gets real around the 1:15 mark. :O

Traffic in Frenetic HCMC, Vietnam from Rob Whitworth on Vimeo.

Compare this to the time-lapse traffic footage from New York in Koyaanisqatsi and look at how organic and chaotic this is. Beautiful.

Black Friday Prank

Two guys make blind lists for each other and take them to Target to ask the employees for help finding the made up items. Turtle Mix? Mormon Disco Ball?

10 quick science tricks for parties!

You know… if you go to nerd parties…. like I do!

Scratch-built Lego farm equipment

This kid scratch built all the equipment on his farm out of Lego. Not only are they to scale, but this kid now knows how all the machines on his farm work. There’s a lot of talky talking in this video, but skip around to see the models.

NES Controller for etch-a-sketch

Handy for making those pesky diagonals.

Collin’s Lab: Atari Punk Console

OK. This thing sounds awesome. I wish I had the circuit-tech bendy skills to make something like this.

Icy Brinicle reaches down to freeze fleeing starfish

Nature is soooo cool. It’s like the icy hand of god reaching down to smite Spongebob and Patrick.

Anderson Cooper has never seen Redi-Whip before

Is this because he was a rich kid growing up or because he’s spent too much time in Rwanda? Either way he gets very excited about it.

Kitten Wrestling

No one ever went to prison for THIS, Michael Vick!

The GAG Quartet – le Internet Medley

This band does covers of internet memes because that’s what the internet is for. Well done medley.

First trailer for GTAV

I have no idea what system this is coming out for but I am excited to see more. I loved GTA:SA but I completely skipped playing GTA IV (not only because I didn’t have the correct system, but also because I heard it wasn’t very fun). I like the look of V from this tiny glimpse, but the realism is starting to bother me in my morals a bit perhaps because I’ve become a parent since I last played GTA. The last time I played San Andreas I stole a bike and kept showing off my tricks to the people on the streets. If they didn’t like my tricks, I’d punch ‘em. Then I jumped some cars off some ramps, but the bullet-fueled rampages just weren’t as much fun any more. #getting older

Abobo’s Big Adventure

Speaking of games I’m looking forward to, my good pal Roger and his friends put together this loving homage to classic video games staring your favorite Double Dragon baddie and mine, ABOBO (though for the record I’m a bigger fan of Abobo’s green counterpart). This game looks like amazing fun and I will be writing a full review once I’m able to play. Be warned, I suck at video games, so by full review, I probably mean a full review of the first three levels before I get frustrated and give up.

Welcome to Kitty City by Cyriak

Jonah calls the sliding glass doors behind which two extremely fat kitties sit at the other end of our apartment complex “Kitty City” when he rides his tricycle past it. I can only hope that THIS is what it looks like in his imagination.

ASIMO gets a speed boost

Robots are getting faster and are one step closer to being able to do the hokey pokey (and serve drinks afterwards). The future is here!

Quantum Levitation

Ok. You got that part… now give me my hoverboard!

360 degree FPS simulator that actually shoots you

Ouch!

Tour of flooded abandoned Paris

Beautiful

Crazy duck crossing traffic

Ohhh…. OOOOHHHH…. EEEEESH…. I can’t watch!

5 years of Riff-Trax

Unlimited Detail Computer Graphics

holy shit!

Metropolis II by Chris Burden

1,200 matchbox cars in this kinetic sculpture

It’s MuthaFuckin Luchables!

In the vein of the “banned” porn-style Skittles commercial, this fake knock-off hardcore rap lunchables commercial kinda nails the genre. (NSFW for language and cultural insensitivity). The song is pretty good though. reminds me of the GTA: San Andreas soundtrack.

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.
