Crow goes sledding on a roof

Who says animals don’t have fun?! I was willing to write this off as coincidence when the crow slid down once, but when it took the sled back up and tried again… FUUUUNNN!

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!

#musicmonday: Florence and the Machine – Shake it Out

Filed under: music monday,TV — Tags: , — Tod @ 4:06 pm

Florence and the Machine – Shake it Out

This song came on during the repeat of SNL playing on New Year’s Eve. I was hemming and hawing about starting the 366 project and got sucked into her singing. At the end she repeats the phrase “what the hell?!” over and over… and that became my clue to go for it. Not sure what the rest of the song is about, but it got me over this particular hump and I hope to adopt a “what the hell” attitude at trying new things for the rest of the year. Here’s to it.

Tutting?

Apparently it’s a thing? Sort of the robot dance for your fingers. There’s full body tutting as well. They make it look easy.

Bill Hicks on marijuana’s effect on evolution

I pretty much agree with everything this guy’s saying. I don’t know much about Bill Hicks, but I eager to look up some more. I’ve heard he was a big influence on Louis CK.

TPiR Cliffhanger Theme

My favorite. You know you know it! Yo dee oh dee Oh dee oh dee OH dee oh dee doooh OH dee oh dee doooh OH dee oh dee doooooooh

Old man shufflin’

Some old-timer got over-dubbed. Hilarity ensues. Reminds me of the Six Flags promo of the old man on the bus.

Drunk History Christmas Edition

Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes, Jim Carrey act out Twas the Night Before Christmas read by a very drunk historian.

Creepy distorted face Illusions

These unaltered photos combine in your peripherals to create some truly horrifying shapes and faces. This could be an interesting training tool for caricatures.

Holy Editing Excellence Batman!

Painting a bowl

Strap a spray can to the bottom of your board and skate the bowl. Nice patterns emerge. Well executed.

Pool playing robot

Robots are supposed to take our jorbs… not our recreation! Step back robots… this time you’ve gone too far!

Atari Glitches

Atari Glitch [Part 3] from Ian Stirewalt on Vimeo.

This is beautiful. I used to do this to my Atari all the time. I always wanted to do a music project with the sounds and images.

Killer Queen sung by clones

I’m not usually a fan of a capella singing but this guy does a great job with the editing and can sing his ass off. I guess it’s not really TRUE a capella because he breaks out the instruments halfway through and that’s when it gives me chills. At least he didn’t pick Bohemian Rhapsody!

Crazy motion capture dance off

Pretty impressive with very little lag. I think the Gorillaz should look into projecting animations like this live on stage.

Face morphing optical illusion

Stare at the red dot. While it’s moving, the changes in the face are hardly perceptible. When it stops, you can see a whole range of changes taking place.

Well excuse me princess

why was link’s catch phrase “Well, excuuuuse ME, princess!”

Extreme sheep herding

I wanted to write this off as bad CGI, but watching the process throughout the video makes me believe they actually did this. Is this what androids dream of?

The cultural policy of piracy

The Baby Bullet

infomercial gone wrong with this horrifying re-edit. it’s a bit long, but it’s so scary you won’t be able to turn away.

Inglorious Ponies

The underground internet fandom of the new My Little Ponies series has led to some interesting mashups. The show on it’s own is also pretty good.

The Last Jump of the General Lee

I loved this show as a kid.

Letter People – Meet Mr. T AKA Tall Teeth

In another flashback from my early schooling Mr. T (not the “pity the fool” one) was my JAM for obvious reasons.

Cat vs Piñata

Get those kibbles!

My Dick

Ok. Enough with the kid stuff. Here’s a song about dicks!

Deepest hole in the world?

These kids seem to think so, but i don’t think it will stay so deep if tourists keep coming by to throw rocks in it.

Drunk guy vs ice

Looks like the crazy fuck did this all on his own without anyone else filming. Brrrr!

Civilized cat eating fish

This never gets old. I love this gag. This cat is sooo pimp!

Polarbears jack up the science equipment

I like that blizzard cam runs away like a little bitch and also the disappointed face on the polar bear when he crushes snowball cam. awwww.

Matt Jaffe – Don’t Worry About the Government (Talking Heads Cover).

I don’t know how old this kid is, but he’s rocking this song and bringing a little something of his own to the mix too. Nice work and a solid cover!

Siskel and Ebert review MST3K

They don’t seem to get it.

Ben and Laura on Dr. Katz

My mind was blown recently when I discovered that Ben from Dr. Katz was H. Jon Benjamin and Laura was Laura Silverman. They were my two favorites on the show. When is Netflix streaming going to pick these up.
