Six Videos
I'll admit it, this weeks playlist is weird.. but that's alright, sometimes you gotta include some oddities.
  • Fight for Your Right Revisited - there's a 30 minute short film included with the forthcoming Beastie Boys record that shows what happens after the party depicted in the "Fight For Your Right" video. I've been reading about this for awhile now but it's great to see a legit trailer for it. So many great people involved and even if you're not a Beastie Boys fan, it looks amusing.
  • Fruit Gushers Review - I can not explain the appeal of The Food Reviewer but I can admit that it is spellbinding. This kid has tons of various food reviews that mostly consist of him eating and making surprised / pleased faces. It's weird but you can't not enjoy it.
  • 2x4 Through My Windshield - even with that title, knowing what will happen, when the event occurs you will jump. Read the description for why she was filming these two trucks. Scary.
  • Lemme Smang It - likely one of the more inappropriate videos I've ever posted. It's awkward, NSFW lyrics (sort of) and completely ridiculous. I love it when I can't tell if a video is a parody or not. I mean, what's going on with that guys facial hair in the rap breakdown at 2:00??
  • Bicycle Built for Two - videos like this are therapeutic. Mute the sound and just enjoy the sights of an adorable dog riding on the back of a bike.
  • 1979 Muppet Movie Camera Test - while there's nothing totally gripping about this or any substantial jokes it's great to see Muppets ad-libbing. Oh, and anything Muppet related that features Sweetums is a-okay in my book.
BONUS
  • QR Code Resume - I still don't understand QR Codes but this is too clever not to enjoy and respect.
  • Net Husk Virtual Pavilion - I may be a little late to this one (it was posted 4 months ago) but this Dean Fleischer-Camp + Jenny Slate video is perfect. Hilarious, absurd, ridiculous and gripping. The language is sometimes offensive / NSFW if that's a concern for you but, otherwise, it's phenomenal.
Have a great weekend!
