Rate My Professors

CollegeHumor can be pretty base and terrible a lot of the time but occasionally they hit upon a gem that works just perfectly. Such is the case with this article: 7 New Professors on RateMyProfessors.com. It's insanely nerdy, a little crass and something I can see turning into a full fledged meme.

Friday Videos - July 17th, 2009

Loads of work this week so unfortunately the playlist suffers. However, one of the videos is actually three seperate clips and there's a bonus video below.. so I'd say we're operating at average capacity.

• GM Spoof - "Here's the gameplan in clear, plain English"
• PSA Advice - good advice for the future. Three clips here, watch em all. Via Paige.
• The Big Lebowski - Dude, Man Version - His Dudeness abides... or you can check out the F'in Short Version (literally).
• Obama Axes Tank Dragon - the graphics on this are superb.
• Ze Frank - Optical Illusion - play along with this 110%. It's much more rewarding. Seriously. Do it.

Aaaaand - If Spammers Wrote Cialis Ads - absurd.

Have a great weekend.

Friday Videos - Jan. 16, 2009

It's been a long week, you deserve a load of videos to watch. Be sure to check the bottom for some non-Youtube bonus content.

• Cool Cat playing the keys - I can watch this on repeat. I don't care how played out cat memes get, this is just a good time.
• Woman Terrified of Cotton Balls - the cotton ball mummy is absolutely insane but apparently Maury Povich loves this theme of scaring the crap out of people with absurd phobias.
• Little Wings by Mark Gormley - it's like a Tim & Eric sketch come to real life.
• Flirting with Magic - I have said it before but it bears repeating - there are no two things that mix worse than sex and magic. Unless it's this.
• Wonderwall by Microsoft Songsmith - if you aren't familiar with the waste of time that is Songsmith, get familiar and rewatch this. Apparently Casio demo loops can now be matched to vocals via Microsoft technology.
• Liz Taylor. - never ask Liz Taylor if she's recently been married.
• Mr. G Bloopers - now that I have a Summer Heights High deficit in my life I must make due with bloopers.
• IT Crowd Season 1 Bloopers - it is material like this that I will miss when the DVD goes the way of the Dodo. Update: Embedding was disabled for whatever reason, so you just have to watch it here.

Still not enough video content for ya? How about some fairly NSFW content? Try out the short film Trick or Ask Scott Ratler or Lethal Frisbee. That should take care of things.

Have a great weekend!

Daniel points out that this video is a way more impressive "blob" - and I agree, the results are mindblowing. You should watch it too.

I also really wanted to post about this waterproofing technology but it's quite as "entertaining" as a usual Friday video. Regardless, you should watch an be totally amazed.

Have a great weekend.. there is much to see and do.

Batman vs Batman

After watching the Batman vs The Dark Knight trailer comparison I am convinced of one of two scenarios:

1. The Dark Knight trailer was intentionally cut to resemble the original 1989 trailer.
2. The Batman footage was actually not really ever a trailer and is just a clever recutting of clips from the movie to match the new trailer.

I'm pretty sure Option 2 is the legitimate one but since searching YouTube just turns up incredibly awkward "fan trailers" like this one it's tough to say with 100% certainty.

Best part about all this? Finding the trailer for Super Mario Nazi Batman and being totally stunned to its existence.

Trailer comparison from Paul - whom I hope never updates his site because he basically stopped on the greatest thing he could ever post.

I admittedly stole the Dirty Cowboy clip from Madrid.. He also suggests spending some time with Italo Disco - I can't disagree.

Have a great weekend.

Open Tabs

• Moustache Me - a very simple (and effective) way of adding a moustache to your favorite street advertisement. The idea is fairly amusing but I wouldn't actually buy a vinyl moustache for such means.
• Celebrities Without Necks - the title says it all.
• This Ain't No Disco - a blog / gallery of inspiring work spaces. I like how simple the gallery interface is and I love lots of what I am seeing in these work areas. Turns out, you can never have too many bookcases.
• La Blogotheque - sorta forgot about this site for a minute and it just dawned on me that I need to be snagging some of these videos for the collection. I mean, why not?
• MOVAVI Online Video Convert - nice interface but doesn't seem to be working as well as trusty ole Zamzar.
• The Day After Valentines - Jokewood. That is all.*

* probably NWS but probably fine to read anyway..

Lasagna Cat is probably one of the weirdest things I've encountered on the web in awhile. I don't find it particularly funny and I think that's sort of the point.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Have a great weekend.

* From 'The Mighty Boosh' - and quite possibly one of my most favorite things ever.

That's it! Have a great weekend.. and if you're thinking of seeing the new Rambo, please consider these stats.

Happy Holidays and all that. I hope you all get to enjoy some time off work and relax with family and friends. I may be posting during the duration but expect things to be slow until 2008. Take care.
