A new video from under appreciated synth-wave artist, Charlie Slick. It’s pretty fun.
You’ve got the job, Charlie Slick

Sunday, August 29th, 2010Well, this is something.
Some guy dancing to La Roux
Saturday, August 28th, 2010I love La Roux. I love shag carpet. I love basement paneling. I love sky blue t-shirts. I like those chairs. I can’t get enough dancing.
Trailer for Back To The Future
Saturday, June 19th, 2010And the first ever Back To The Future trailer here!
John Wayne Gacy Jr
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010Just a beautiful song for a solemn night. By Sufjan Stevens, a Michigan native.
Jim Carrey’s audition tape for Man on the Moon
Monday, April 26th, 2010An early incarnation of Jim Carrey’s portrayal of Andy Kaufman. And for a great film too. Now play us out, real Andy.
Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog… 8-bit!
Thursday, April 8th, 2010Ah, the internet greatness that is Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog comes again. This time it’s a stylized, 8-bit, NES-like YouTube and website. So far, only Act One is up, but I’m sure more are coming. Until then, you all will just have to get your Neil Patrick Harris fix some other way.
Where is My Mind
Monday, March 29th, 2010A beautiful piano over of Where is My Mind by The Pixies. Arranged and performed by Maxence Cyrin, whose work is definitely worth checking out. The music is set to old-timey 1920s movie, The Mysterious Lady. I’ve never seen the film, but the images add much to the performance. He also has piano covers of Daft Punk, Justice, Aphex Twin and Yellow Magic Orchestra, all of which are just as brilliant. Just, so graceful.
Spaceman traversing space
Saturday, March 27th, 2010A graduate film by Steven Lall — “…about a Spaceman who is on a journey, in search of meaning.” I’m not really sure about the meaning behind it, but hey, it’s pretty fun to watch.
The World According to David Liebe Hart
Sunday, March 21st, 2010Get ready, because here’s the trailer for The World According to David Liebe Hart. Starring both Mr Hart and featuring Mr Quall, it’s sure to be… well something. I realize it won’t be anything like what we’re used to when they’re on Tim and Eric, and probably not that funny, but I’ve watched enough of their public-access-television to know it’ll at least be worth checking out. Here’s another trailer with James Quall.
Forever’s Not So Long
Sunday, March 14th, 2010A great little existential short film about the end of the world. It’s only thirteen minutes long, so why not. As for me, I’m going to eat Cool Ranch Doritos with chocolate milk.
Words are very unnecessary
Friday, March 12th, 2010Green screen, chiptune, Depeche Mode. Full screen to fully experience the journey, be patient. Brilliant.
Thank you, Mr President
Monday, March 1st, 2010Well, we’re back in business over here. And to re-inaugurate this place, I dedicate and hereby declare this song to be the new official tune of this website.
MS Paint is back
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010Every one of PaintinWiz’s videos is like this. All 700+ of them. Really. Yep.
Carl Sagan Typography
Saturday, January 16th, 2010Tim Heidecker Clues
Sunday, January 10th, 2010From the relatively new indie pop band out of Montreal, Clues, we have an unofficial music video for You Have My Eyes Now. Tim Heidecker his hilarious and surprisingly makes this otherwise simple four minute music video quite captivating. Also, it’s worth noting that the black haired woman who appears at the beginning with Tim is actually his real life wife, Marilyn Porayko.
Bald Pipe Guy
Friday, January 8th, 2010Alright everybody, time to boot up the YouTube and check out Bald Pipe Guy. Learn about the finer things in life — including pipes, pipe smoking, hair pieces, suits, being bald and being super awesome — it’s a lot of fun!
Schlemiel! Schlemazel!
Thursday, January 7th, 2010Laverne & Shirley features one of the most memorable and fun television opening sequences ever. Thankfully, many of the good folks on the YouTube have also realized this and decided to make their own tributes, parodies and spoofs. Take a look at some of the best and brightest:
Maybe the first Laverne & Shirley spoof ever. This one was recorded and apparently edited on VHS back in the Clinton years — 1994. Watch out for those jeans!
Now watch two very openly gay men from northern Michigan perform for you. They do a great job!
Alright, bare with me on this one. Definitely funny if you read through all the lines. I mean, common. Common!
A guy and his cone. What more can be said about that?
My favorite one, featuring hilarious facial expressions, golf balls and a TV smash.
And now, some honorable mentions: European Vacation, The Livers, Even Gayer, and The Green-Screen Challenge.
Picturesque Philadelphia
Sunday, December 27th, 2009YouTube user dws35 has uploaded some nice HD videos. I don’t know what type of imaging device he’s using, but the picture is quite stunning. It seems most of his videos are shot in and around Philadelphia. And thankfully, this guy also has good taste in music too, unlike so many other videos on the YouTube.
Enjoy two of my favourites above.
