Description

Talk about a blonde moment.... sigh.

The first time I saw this, I missed the Diesel logo and the fact it was a sly marketing ad for Diesel sneakers. So I forwarded it to a friend who designs shoes with a note that said, "Wouldn't this be an awesome ad campaign for shoes?"

Uh. Yeah.

It would be great as part of a collection of videos playing in the background at a party too.....

Anyway, this is really, really entertaining. I mean, really.

Guinness Evolution

Description

Very cool, multi-award winning Guinness commercial.

Sounds silly but just in case- make sure you actually click on the guy drinking to start the video.

Check out the rest of their video and print ads too. Striking stuff.

Walk it Out, Fosse-Style!

First to recommend

Description

In the six months or so since I've been showing this video to friends, the reactions have taken a consistent form- people start off with their mouths hanging open, at some point they begin to laugh and by the end they email the link to all their friends. It's pretty funny. No, it's really funny actually.

Basically it's a mash-up of Walk it Out and some Fosse dancers that just blends seamlessly.

My daughters and I have vowed to learn it ourselves. It would be a great lunchtime office boredom buster too...

.... personally, I like to crank it on Monday mornings just to get me in the mood for the day. Hard to be cranky when you watch this nonsense.

Food Fight: An abridged history of American-centric warfare told through food

First to recommend

Description

Very cool. Very interesting.

______________________________
from the site:
An abridged history of American-centric warfare, from WWII to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict.

For a breakdown of the actual battles portrayed in the film, visit:

For the official cheat sheet (breakdown of the foodstuffs), visit:
http://www.touristpictures.com/foodfi...

Now, to answer some FAQs...
- The food in this film was consumed either by myself or my dog after shooting. None of the cast went to waste.
- The software used was photoshop and after effects.
- The film took me 3 months to do.
- Although it seems like stop motion, most of it was stop motion created within After effects, using keyframe animation. I am basically moving the food around within the the program, frame by frame, which is the same as traditional stop motion, only it's digital.

MythBusters - Do Pretty Girls Fart?

First to recommend

Description

An unaired episode of Mythbusters that tests the age-old question, "Do Women Pass Gas?"

Best line? "That's totally unacceptable- you have to generate one on camera."

Although "Can I take the microphone out of my butt now?" is a close second.

Very funny. Test it out in your own office.

Ask A Ninja: Question 18 "Minjas"

First to recommend

Description

Ask A Ninja is a Q&A site where... well, readers ask a ninja a question and have it answered in a video response.

This is an oldie but good episode- the question is whether there are midget ninjas. Not to spoil it but the answer is yes.
"They're like urinal cakes. They're little but they're very powerful."

"They'll throw a shruiken and then they'll jump on top of the shruiken and then it'll hit you in the neck and then they'll punch you in the face."

I can't write more. Will start laughing.

Check out the full episode list.

Famous movies re-enacted by bunnies in 30 seconds or less. Yes. That's correct.

Retro Massengill Commercial

First to recommend

Description

If you want a "not so fresh" trip down advertising's memory lane.........

Hey- my mom never took ME out on a boat for this conversation~!

Maybe it says something about my standards- well, I guess it definitely says something about my standards- but this makes me laugh out loud.

David Blaine Street Magic Part 2

First to recommend

Description

David is back to mess with the same two guys in this installment of a so-far four part sequence and it's magically delicious.

Oh God is it funny. The first time I saw it I kept saying, "Cheezits! Cheezits! Cheezits!" all day until someone rightfully said they would punch me.

Really, ya gotta see all four. But keep the volume low if you're in the office. Expletives galore.
