So, I don’t know what to say about this video, except that it seems pretty cool, and it seems to espouse the multi-cultural, trans-national spirit of goodwill that we all ought to be embracing for these last few months before the Mayan Zombies come after us.
This was made for last year’s New Year by King Taro. The singer is Pita.
Like the pocket!
So, in the process of researching the upcoming Darwin Eats Cake, which is going to be featuring Mongolian humor – or, rather, Mongolian-inspired “humor” – I came across this. I’m not entirely sure what the joke is, but I think it relates to splicing in some presumably Italian dude into the video?
The comment left by the poster on YouTube was:
“Italian pop mongolian pop new super best”
I think Classic Gem is the woman, and Zaya (apparently pronounced “Z-A-Y-A”) is the guy, but I’m not really sure.
Anyway, I was sort of grooving on it, and I thought I would share. You are welcome!
So, here’s a little bit of Christmas joy from South Korean boy band SHINee (샤이니). They’re like the Back Street Boys of Korea, or maybe the Spice Girls of Korea, or maybe the Harlem Globetrotters of Korea.
I don’t know, there are five of them.
Enjoy.
So, I was hoping to find a FSM-themed Christmas video to post for you. There are a few out there, but none that I felt surpassed the quality threshold I try to apply to the blog.
What quality threshold, you ask? Fair enough.
Anyhoo, here’s an excellent little video. It’s lack of explicit Chrismas themèdness is more than compensated by the hypnotic tune and rockin’ graphics.
“Let him clean up your mind / Feel the power of his balls”
Music by The Oufs, who, adorably, have a myspace page. Graphics by Noam Raby.
If you prefer, the video is also available with Turkish subtitles.
So, nearly two million of you have already watched this on youtube. The rest of you can watch it here.
Good-night, sweet, psychopathic, strange, little prince.
So, I Am An Action Scientist is an excellent little song by Adam WarRock written for the Atomic Robo comic. About Atomic Robo:
Atomic Robo is secretly hired by the US Army to infiltrate the hidden Himalayan mountain base of Baron Heinrich Von Helsingard before he perfects a superweapon for the Nazis.
So, you know, sort of like Captain America meets Short Circuit.
This is my new motto: “I am an action scientist. / That’s why the science is guiding my fists.”
Notice: best heard at max volume with pipette in hand.
Check out the comic here. Download the mp3 here.

So, this is an excellent little musical montage of snowman scenes from Calvin and Hobbes lovingly rendered by Jim Frommeyer and Teague Chrystie. If you’re interested in how they did it, you can read (and watch) more here. If you’re more of a consumer, just sit back and enjoy.
Note that at the time of this posting, the YouTube page actually has more likes than views. I don’t know how that’s done, but seems right. I certainly like it more than once.

So, as you emerge from your four-day food coma, I’d like to welcome you back with this piece of awesomeosity, which is a well matched mash-up of Boris Karloff and the Boris Karloff of the Star Wars universe.
Enjoy.
So, remember last year’s Miss America Pageant? Let me remind you. We were treated to Alyse Eady, Miss Arkansas, whose talent was singing “I want to be a cowboy’s sweetheart,” including the yodeling, through the use of two ventriloquist dummies. AND SHE DIDN”T WIN!
Ventriloquist yodeling, people. Here’s the video:
Anyway, the fact that she didn’t win obviously points to the deep corruption at the core of our socio-economico-pageanto-political system. However, the fact that she came in second is reason to hope for the future. In the vein of that hope, I humbly suggest that next year’s pageant involve a group talent competition. I furthermore suggest, nay, demand, that one of the groups do an act like the one in the next video.
This video features the Warriors of Goja on an Indian talent show and comes here via Kottke.org. Jason Kottke notes:
I’ve been on the web for 17 years now, I’m a professional link finder, and I have never in my life seen anything like these guys performing on an Indian talent show. They *start off* by biting into fluorescent light bulbs and it just gets more nuts from there.
Note: best viewed with the volume up.
There is no one out there who can honestly say that ten Miss America contestants jumping through columns of fluorescent lightbulbs and hitting each other with sledgehammers would not be the greatest television event in history.
Also, is there someone who can translate what the female judge says to them at the end? Anyone? Tanmoy? Anyone?
So, if you’re like me, and I know that you are, you love Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance,” but have always felt that it could be improved. For instance, if it were sung by by a choir of old Chinese people standing in a giant dollhouse, accompanied by young Chinese women playing crystal instruments.
Today, you and I are in luck, because this exists:
