Very Funny Ads - BBC Flying Penguins

A great spot from the BBC showing how they never miss anything exciting and now thanks to their internet player, you don’t have to either.  It’s well done and it happens to have Monty Python’s Terry Jones in it, which is a nice bonus.

Verne Troyer Video

This is a clever bit of set design.  All of the press junket interviews for Verne Troyer’s new Mike Meyers movie were shot on a mini set built just for him.  It’s kind of poetic to see people forced to make themselves comfortable in a space designed for others.  He must have enjoyed this… maybe [...]

Retro-Phone for iPhone

I love stuff like this.
People writing somewhat useless, but fun and clever bits of creative programming, just because they can. I wish the return animation lasted longer, but I will no doubt be getting this program when available. Just because I can.  Calling Klondike-94327!

George Carlin was the best!

As a kid I learned so much from George Carlin.  Just from listening to his records I learned to question authority with a tongue planted firmly in cheek.  I learned a lot about authority and religion and humor.  Many many years later I got a chance to meet George and thank him for all he [...]

David Lynch for the iPhone

First of all, I forgot to post something yesterday and the likely cause was the intense heat.  Or that’s what I’m telling myself anyway.  So here’s a nice appropriate response to the iPhone frenzy I have going around in my head.  This kind of stuff keeps me real.  David Lynch “endorsing” the iPhone.

Kevin Rose “Do it Live!” mocks Bill O’Reilly

At the live Diggnation taping Wednesday night in NYC Kevin Rose messes up his lines and wants to “Do It Live!” A nice if subtle send-up of the Bill O rant which gained recent internet popularity. If you aren’t watching Diggnation, you’re missing something.

Here’s to Harvey Corman!

If you’re wondering who Harvey Corman was, check out this sketch with Tim Conway. Every week on the Carol Burnett Show we would wait for one of them to lose it and laugh when they shouldn’t. This is a classic example of why they were so good. Clearly this clip features Conway’s [...]

Washington Post Writer - The Secret Message

This is clever.  Linton Weeks of the Washington Post took an early retirement from the paper.  In his final published article, he took the opportunity to send a message in code to his readers.  When I first heard about this I was expecting something a little more rude or playful, but even though the message [...]

Conan O’Brien’s Grand Theft Auto

It seems the new Grand Theft Auto is a little tamer than previous versions.  Nice!
