Your Moment Of Internet Zen

Virtual Vaudville

Okay, so its a few years old but indeed good times. An animated, annotated vaudville performance in a period space with multiple camera angles and audience positions. Indeed good times.

Clown face baloney

Well, you'd have to move to the UK, but, damn -- at like $7/lb, that's pretty swanky.

Is bugbear kosher?

I know, you've been playing your fifteenth level rabbi for years and secretly worrying that your goyim DM will someday figure out that chupacabra is treyf. Well, that day is now, friends...

Elephant Cam

Only slightly less sexy than the crow vending machine, documentarians discovered that their elephant friends were able to introduce cameras into the animal world lots easier than the humans were...

Dear Jared

Jared gets run the dozens.

I can has hedgehog?

Well, no I can't, but that's why we have the Internets, as hedgehogs and barely-legal naked people are now easily to hand!

1 - 100

One hundred people of age 1-100, inclusive, bang a drum. Bonus: They are engrish

Bacon Cheese Baconburger

Well, after you've done The ultimate Bacon Sandwitch and Bacon Cereal, what else can you do?

Baconburger, baby...

Is that a jackfruit ghost?

Fun times in Thialand in this Sylvania ad.

My bike car goes squeak squeak

Well, everybody wants to save the environment today but nobody wants to give up their groovy cars. Michael de Broin created a bikeable alternative out of his 1986 Buick Regal. Sadly, the police didn't think it was maybe such a good idea.

A train runs through it.

Well, no kok like Bangkok, I always say. A surreal scene plays out in this YouTube clip as a passenger train bisects a busy market which then folds in on itself after the train passes. Crazy, man.

Making The Broken EP

As someone who has obsessively created covers for albums on occasion, this was right up my alley. A nice song, nice little video to accompany it about the process. Kinda makes me want to go out and get one....

Ain't No Weatherman But You

Oh, good times. We all know the joys of misheard lyrics, "there's a bathroom on the right", etc. YouTube presents a new platform for this foolishness on an intentional front, the "Video Interpretation."

Not just lyrics. Lyrics with pictures

Because everything should taste like bacon

Sadly I shouldn't be using this product at the time being, but man, I certainly can agree that everything really -should- taste like bacon.

Cigarettes, Whiskey, Wild Wild Women and Muppets

Oh, this is truly Internet Nirvana, children.

My boss Raj has been hounding us all for years to see if we might -- just possibly -- recall this very scene as he could never believe that the Henson crew would put out something as risque as this...

Fear And Loathing On The Internet

Paging skynet

What's better than an RC helicopter with an automatic shotgun? An autonmous RC helicopter with an automatic shotgun!

Crane Jackassery

I don't want to reveal too much either way, lets say that its guys on top of a crane. Jackassery ensues.

The crane is very high. That is all.

Radical Honesty

Honest? All the time?

Run, Luke, Run!

Well, much like Will It Blend, this Japanese TV show asks a probing question regarding our existential nature: would a race walker when chased by Samurai run or walk?

Ice Ice, baby

No times like bad times for company, eh? One would think that after, oh, like three or so cars came down this particular hill and stacked it up those bystanders would, say, go and warn people at the top of the hill or something. Nope! Martha! Get the camera!

I Hate Horses (like, not me personally)

Okay, I do think they are kind of silly. Really, not they themselves, but folks who after the age of pubescence fawn over them. Unfortunately they are kind of an animal that needs fawning over to be readily maintained.

Truthfully my hatred descends mostly upon mixed-use riders, folks who go out into areas where people without giant earth-churning steeds also go. As bad a rap as mountain bikers get, the trail damage by pack animals is as bad or worse and these folks are chaining another animal to their disregard for surroundings.

Oh, and as for the American River Parkway where many miles of wonderful nature trail perfect for mountainbiking are reserved only for these burdeners of noble steed...don't get me started.

Anyways, glad to see someone who has more issues with horses than I do.

Did I mention they are mighty tasty?

Television Show

Oh, the horror.

Its pretty well done for like a college-age production. Man, beats the pants of the values of "Keg Wars"...

Cooter Shot (though not what you think)

Oh, there's something about this that I kind of love. For one, its a reversal of the million and one "dumb drunk dude takes a punch" motifs as its not a dude and she's not drunk.

Also something very charmingly dorm moment about the whole setup. The chick who doesn't want to be filmed (and keeps repeating herself thinking someone cares), the roommate who just wants to be left alone and pretends to study, at the end: "Do you guys have some loootion?"

Also, I think the punchee is kind of cute, no matter what her bitch friend thinks.

Read A Book (M-----------)

Oh, what can you say about this one? Crunk stylings, strains of Schoolhouse Rock and societal change all ring through this one.

Deeze Nuts

Don't give away your nuts. YouTube productions are generally poopy, but this, this is kinda funny.

The crack spider's bitch

Oh, educational films, how we love to mock thee.
