Cyanide & Happiness - Waiting for the Bus

Stunningly sad and hilariously ironic at the same time, it's the new animation from Cyanide & Happiness. You will laugh your socks off (if you're wearing any, that is).

U900 -Walk Don't Run

Here's something to relax your mind, a nice ukulele rendition of the surf guitar classic "Walk, Don't Run" performed by the Japanese ukulele duo U900. Nice, isn't it?

Funny TV ad spoof for a Radiohead version of Rock Band. I would actually like to see this made. Great animation video from Popzilla, the new comedy series on MTV.

Oscar the Cat Dancing

Here is a small tribute video to Oscar, a friend's cat. Oscar passed away this week and I'm showing this to honour him. He always liked to dance. So watch this and think of all the lovely cats in your life and how they all go to heaven and stuff.

Slow Motion Food Fight

Yes, another fantastic slow motion video! This time, prepare for an awesome food fight like you've never seen before - so slow, yet so awesome! Oddly enough this is an advert for pants. Or trousers, as the Brits would say.

Cool video cutting together all the "McFly's" from the movie Back to the Future. I would pay good money to see this version on the big screen. And by big money I mean not more than 1$. McFly!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Longest Way 1.0 - one year walk/beard grow time lapse

So this guy walks about 4,000 miles on foot through China and doesn't cut his hair and grows a beard. And, of course, does a timelapse of the whole thing and puts it on the internet. What else to do?

Dangerous Condom Applicator

Funny comedy from College Humor! I would go nowhere near this hellish machine.

A hostage and a hostage-taker get dangerously close to one another. "Stockholm Syndrome" gone wrong. Big LOLs in this!

Slow Moscow

Cool video of Moscow in slow motion. Various scenes from Moscow filmed at 300 frames per second for extra clear slow motion.

Play him off, Keyboard Sam!

Here's a Keyboard Cat tribute video from Ubisoft featuring Sam Fisher of Splinter's Cell fame. This gave me videogame-geek and internet-meme-geek chuckles. Double win!

This is the awesome animation by Chris Warren for his university final project. It totally rocks and was made entirely using Photoshop and After Effects.
This animation is suitable for vegetarians.

Now, ok. If you liked the previous video, then you will also enjoy this. It looks like Norm is going to be the next big thing on this internet thing. At least until the end of this week. So here's 'Fat Man Can Can'.

Fat guy swearing

If you remember this video of a guy called Norm ranting about all the haters on his youtube channel, then you will enjoy this video, too. Otherwise, just move along. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

We’re gonna crack open the big egg

Wow! This is just as awesome as it is crazy. A very big egg gets cracked open. Laid by a chicken, not a mutant. Egg includes a suprise. SO watch this and have an omelette or something.

Metropolis Crimes - Mood trailer

Cool trailer for the upcoming Ubisoft videogame 'METROPOLIS CRIMES'. Looks very interesting and sets a great mood!

Very cool video of some art projection on a castle. Looks like a castle to me. Could also be a mansion, what the hell do I know. Still, very impressive and cool stuff. Everyone should watch this!
Youtube snip:

We got invited along to do some video mapping projections at a secret festival in the North East of England. The theme and logo of the party was the heart. We spent a couple of weeks in the studio creating the show which opened the party.

Leviathan trailer

Check out this trailer for the ‘Steampunk’ genre novel Leviathan written by Scott Westerfeld, which is due out October 6.

From what I have read about the novel, it sounds like a great story line. It is basically about an alternate world where we fought World War I with crazy ass “War Machines”. The character Deryn Sharp is disguised as a boy so that she can join the British Air Service

“Penny Lane” - Literal Video Version

I must have missed this particular literal version, I find it quite amusing. Also, this hypes me up for the release of the Beatles Rock Band game. I might actually get it.

Time-Lapse Bike Rides 2004-2009

A guy cycles around Toronto for five years with a GPS attached to his recumbent bike, etches a beautiful street map of the city.

Youtube snip:

A time-lapse animation of my recumbent cycling in Toronto, spanning 2004 to 2009. In all, about 650 hours of cycling totalling almost 8100km.

This is the total record of all my recumbent riding. Individual years are also available as separate videos, and there are more details in the comments on those.

The red path represents five minutes of cycling. Rides outside the borders of the map are represented by a red arrow; the longer the arrow, the further the bike is from the border.

Have a look to what happened when the Rabbids (of Rayman fame) discover this mysterious and intriguing object: the shopping cart!

Kinda funny trailer for the XXX parody of the NBC comedy '30 Rock'. I find this almost as good as the original show.

This took place in Mexico City a couple of days ago. 13,957 people danced to MJ's Thriller simulataneously. World Record. It's that easy.

'Extract' Trailer (HD)

Awesome and funny new trailer (number 2) for the new comedy by Mike Judge. The creator of Beavis and Butthead (as well as Office Space and other funny stuff) fame.

Youtube snip:

To the outside eye, Joel Reynold seems to have everything. After all, being the owner of a business he built from the ground up - with its patented brand of culinary extracts - should make the Extract King a happy man. However, if Joel hasnt reached his front door by 8 oclock, hell find his wife, Suzie cinching up her sweatpants and about as interested in him as he is in her mastery of supermarket coupon design. Sexually frustrated, Joel confides in his best pal, Dean, a barkeep and soon finds himself wrapped up in a convoluted scheme to make Suzie cheat on him first with a dim-witted gigolo thereby allowing him to pursue beautiful new employee Cindy with a clear conscience. Unbeknownst to Joel, the object of his affections is a con artist/sociopath - just one step away from having her parole revoked. Meanwhile, Joel and his second-in-command, Brian have entered negotiations for a buyout of Reynold Extracts by General Mills. All they need to do is keep things tidy, quiet and moving while waiting for the final offer. Of course, this fails to take into account the employees on the factory floor.

Seahawks mascot goes skydiving!

Cool video of the Seattle Seahawks mascot, Blitz, making a tandem sky dive with Luke Aikins of the Red Bull Air Force. They don't pay these guys in costumes enough money. Seriously.

The death of Jim Davidson (by Cyriak)

Another great animation by Cyriak. This gus is just awesome!
Youtube snip:

For non-UK residents, Jim Davidson is an old-fashioned racist British comedian.

This clip was commissioned for a tv show but ended up on the cutting-room floor. So here it is, risen from the grave to make the world a slightly happier place.
