In internet terms this is, in fact, a very old hat. Or old cheese. Runny, old cheese.

Well, so much for our journalistic integrity on reporting just the facts. Of course we have to post this. It’s (yet another) Star Wars related video. And this is what this site, the safe haven for embedded Star Wars nerdism, is all about.

So without further ado, please do applaud these true heroes of our time for their bravery in, er, science. Or something like that. There’s a Tesla coil, so it must be something to do with science. Possibly.

Power! Unlimited power!

The most important thing in life is to watch crazy, stupid stuff on the internets. Obviously!

This short little video was done by Cyriak, animation genius with a demented sense of reality. Or maybe he has escaped from a mental institution. It really doesn’t matter.

After watching this video, all those years of therapy, self-reflection and analysis will be for nothing. Your brain will turn into a mushy mess. Lovely!

Meet Ted:

Ted is a friendly neighborhood baker from Greenwich Village in Manhattan. Ted was so stoked by the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency that he decided to bake a tribute in his honour.

Here is Ted’s tribute:

I won’t say anymore – but the video to this story is a thing of beauty – a rare piece of natural comedy genius.

The show is called Engine Sentai Go-Onger which roughly translates to Engine Squadron Go-Onger. At least that’s what Wikipedia has to say about the show.

The motif of this series is animals, the motor industry, and (what else?) environmentalism. That’s good enough for me to rank it somewhere between Sesame Street and Carl Sagan. And instead of muppets, there’s talking, fighting robots. Footage of this show is going to be used for the new Power Rangers RPM series in the US. And it kinda looks a little like Power Rangers, which may be a little deceiving at first.

The awesome clip shows how a giant robot ist formed out of a dozen or so other talking vehicles. Sort of like Devastator from the Transformers TV show (and isn’t Devastator going to be in Revenge of the Fallen?), but much, much cooler. More awesomer.

This giant robot can take on any other robot there ever was: any Transformer, Mazinger, Mazinger Z, Mazinkaiser, that big one with the drill, Goldorak, any EVA, all of the GoBots, Robby … any other robot is doomed to fail. Fail and die. Or at least go home crying, like a little bitch.

The Death Star might have a chance. A small one.

This is not Thomas the Tank Engine:

Not because Batman he suddenly realised that the Terminator franchise has been squeezed to death by the previous movie and the horrible TV series (except that strangely hot Summer Glau Terminatrix chick), oh noes, something much more sinister happened: The director of photography walked on the set and was distracting Batman Christian Bale. Batman Poor guy couldn’t concentrate on the scene (probably something really important like pressing a button in front of a bluescreen) and had no other choice than to voice his anger. Also, I hear he had an upset tummy from eating too many bean burritos from the lunch van.

Now with stuff like that happening in the times we live in, sooner or later it goes viral on that internet thing the kids use. And then it gets mashed, remixed and put on youtube for the rest of us.

Final proof that threats, swearing and danceable beats mix so well together:

What the fuck is it with you?

But seeing that it is Friday yet again, and because I don’t want to post too many Mark “Musical Genius” Gormley videos, I post old crap from many, many years ago.

It’s probably so old that you’ll have conveniently forgotten that you have seen this back in 2006. You might even think that it’s pretty awesome. And then you’ll tell all your friends about it, and about this great site where you found it and … oh well, it’s never gonna happen.

This Friday Classic is a recut trailer for Mary Poppins, that lovely old nanny from the ancient times when Disney still made movies with real people in it.

In this trailer Mary Poppins is not the child loving fun nanny we’ve come to know. But you know that, because this clip is ancient.

In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and – SNAP – the job’s a game!

But my theory is that it is all just for show. As long as the cameras are rolling everything is fine but as soon as the lights go out they hit the booze and start drowning kittens. Little fluffy kittens. That’s how evil they really are. Weathermen are among the most bitter and hateful people on this planet.

That is because TV weatherman is about the worst job you can have in the TV industry. Remember that movie Weatherman with Nicholas Cage? No, of course you don’t. It was about a weatherman!!! Here’s a cool quote from the movie though which pretty much sumps it all up and saves me a lot of explaining:

I remember once imagining what my life would be like, what I’d be like. I pictured having all these qualities, strong positive qualities that people could pick up on from across the room. But as time passed, few ever became any qualities that I actually had. And all the possibilities I faced and the sorts of people I could be, all of them got reduced every year to fewer and fewer. Until finally they got reduced to one, to who I am. And that’s who I am, the weather man.

The following video is a nice selection of outtakes and shows that behind the friendly, smiling face on TV lures a menacing murderer – if we’re lucky.

Blowing up planets and stuff with a moon-sized superweapon doesn’t exactly make you popular.

The general perception amongst senators is that its run inefficiently by a bunch of self-centered Sith Lords with no clear vision.

This is why the general management decided to hire some experts in efficiency and leadership to fix this situation – cue the Swiss Germans.

This secret video taken from an even more secret meeting about new ways in advertising (probably to avert the next PR disaster) shows just how ruthlessly efficient these Germans can be.

That’s no moon:

Well, do ya punk?

So this here is the latest video those Dairy Milk addicted advertising suits came up with.

For a lack of a better word: WTF?!
