Friday Videos - Dec 16th, 2011

It's that time again! Load up the playlist and enjoy the slacking off from work. I've got some treats in store for next week to, hopefully, wrap up the year but, for now, enjoy the weekly goods.

• Old Spice - Motorcycle - It is remarkable how great the ad campaigns for Old Spice are; especially considering that I've zero interest in the product. You know you created something great when a customer wants to watch your advertisement over and over. Amazing.
• Inappropriate Folgers Commercial - yes, it's inappropriate but not really.. or is it? Either way, hilarious.
• Haboob Swallows Phoenix - do you know what a Haboob is? Did you know that they aren't that uncommon in the dryer parts of Arizona and New Mexico? Do you understand how terrifying they appear to be?
• Titanic: The Animated Movie - this trailer brings up so many question it's difficult to wrap your brain around. Why does it exist? Why is there a fun loving kids movie based on an enormous disaster? Why is there a rapping schnauzer? Why is his backing band comprised of stereotyped mice? Why, Why, Why? via Paul.
• Geek Love TLC - there is a fine line between laughing with someone and laughing at someone. I'm not sure where the new TLC Geek Love show falls but it seems like something we should all watch in order to decide.
• Priceless Hippo - your level of enjoyment of this is a good gauge of your maturity levels. Me? I'm about 8 years old because I loved it. (Please note, this occurrence is not uncommon in Hippos but it is hilarious).
• Drive Recklessly - an educational PSA on the dangers of speeding. Would you rather save 30 seconds or a life?
• Cheers - NORMisms - it's been many years since I've watched Cheers.. this Supercut is a nice reminder that we all need to revisit it.
• I Gave My Kids a Terrible Present - Jimmy Kimmel gets parents to trick their kids for the benefit of late night TV again. The results are hilarious but I can't imagine doing this to your child; some of them seem incredibly upset! Fortunately, you know they'll forget.
• Waving Bear - you will watch this on repeat for the remainder of the day.

BONUS

• Raiders of the Lost Ark Filmumentary Part 2 and Part 3 are now available. I am sure they are every bit as compelling as Part 1.
• Mariachi El Bronx - 48 Roses - a primo example of why music videos can (and are) still relevant when done right.
• 30 Most Important Cats of 2011 - Falfa sent me this and I am forever indebted to him for it.

Have a great weekend!
