Nine Videos
It's a slow build this week on the videos.. stick with it.. you'll earn your humor rewards.
  • Move It! - simplicity at its finest. A plastic cactus plays with a hula hoop. Mesmerizing.
  • How much Hipster can you pack in a Jazz? - the part about Murakami, Godard and the user manual... perfect.
  • Bed Intruder Song - remember last week when I posted this video and was all hesitant about sharing a rape joke? Yea, turns out the entire Internet thought it was hysterical and has blown it up into a fairly substantial meme (for whatever that is worth). Even NPR is in on the phenomena.. crazy.
  • Bang Bang, Boom Boom - maybe this is old news.. maybe over the top local commercials aren't funny anymore.. I dunno.. but I love it. These ladies are having a grand time.
  • Washing Machine Murder - washing machine + brick= murder. So awesome. Via Ryan.
  • The Dancer - the second short film from Dumb Dumb, the advertising collab you may remember that Will Arnett and Jason Bateman are behind. It's ridiculous but entertaining.
  • Jackass 3D Trailer - if you try and say you don't find this appealing, you're lying. via Paul.
  • Arcade Fire - Ready to Start - while I didn't watch the webcast last night (too much RealPlayer style buffering for me) I have to say that seeing this footage from Madison Square Garden gets me very excited to see the band on Monday and solidifies my opinion that the new record is superb. I've read some backlash on it being too juvenile in its concept but I don't buy it.. the record is great from top to bottom; possibly their best yet.
  • Kitten Can't Jump - I've easily watched this ten times on repeat.
BONUS:
  • Darth Schwarzenegger - surprisingly well done Arnold overdub.
  • Owl Coo - aside from this creature looking totally badass it's crazy to see it reacting like a household animal.
  • Do Something Difficult! - I've seen this motivational speaker video before but the guys at Invisible Creature reminded me of it this week and I have to say.. it's still incredibly embarrassing to watch. Poor kid should have tried it before he filmed himself.
Have a great weekend!
