Friday Videos - Sept. 2nd, 2011

I'm trying out the new iFrame embed on this weeks playlist - lets see how that works out! The breakdown, as usual, is below.

• World's Shortest Train - wait for it. It's shorter than you imagine it will be.
• Back to the Start - a Chipotle ad featuring Willie Nelson covering a Coldplay song. It's always kind of odd to see a huge chain promoting "getting back to basics" because real basics would be Mom and Pop owned stores, not chains. But it's still a compelling video.
• Other planets the same distance as the moon - not a funny / ridiculous video but a supremely interesting one. Seeing Mars in the night sky wouldn't be that weird... seeing Jupiter is a whole different story.
• Dancing Marionette - the most awkward, sexualized marionette you'll ever encounter (hopefully). via Paul.
• Adam Buxton Reads Out YouTube Comments - it takes about two minutes for it to really get rolling but it's rather amusing once you're in it. via Rachel / Miles.
• The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra - "Even when I was a child, I was hated by skeletons." And also, "I sleep now." Must see this whole thing.

Bonus Videos

• Don't Hug Me I'm Scared - Some rather friendly felt puppets explore the world of creativity. Obviously, it goes into some dark places but it's a great journey getting there.
• That's All Folks - A canon fuse glued to plywood burning through paper to spell out "That's All Folks." I'd love to see this one in double time.
• Cat vs Cat Balloon - it ends as perfectly as you'd hope.

Have a great, long, weekend!
