This hive of honeybees lifts a laptop covered with honey into the air and flys around (hovers actually).

The literal version of A-Ha’s “Take On Me”

Nerds — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 09:57:29 +0000

Brilliant! Internet wonder-man Dustin McLean has put together a series of literal music videos, including the brilliant debut video, a literal take on A-ha’s “Take On Me”, which is one of the most popular videos on YouTube and was featured as a top hit on Funny or Die. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a contract coming McLean’s way from Funny or Die in the future, as these are just too good to keep as mere YouTube releases.

McLean as since followed up with Red Hot Chili Peppers “Under the Bridge” and Tears for Fears’ “Head Over Heels”.

The Baby Wee Wee line of anatomically-correct baby dolls of varying ages, need to be seen to be believed. Introduced through the United Kingdom last year, Baby Wee Wee features a motorized penis, which ah…..erects, and then performs #1, on or at whatever happens to be standing in it’s way. In the above commercial’s case, the dad who was creepy enough to have bought such a thing for his little girls.

In the late 80s, the Mitchell brothers, owners of the O’Farrell Theatre in San Francisco, produced a 30 minute long documentary on Hunter S. Thompson’s college campus tour. Entitled “The Crazy Never Die”, the documentary covers Thompson’s visits in Oregon and Kansas, including some interesting insight into his childhood, the amount of speakers he has in his living room and much more.

Sir Ben Kingsley covering Minor Threat

A little bit of WTF comes to mind but I can’t describe how much I love the thought of Sir Ben Kingsley, Oscar award winner and thespian, even knowing something like Minor Threat even exists!

Dogs, performing The Broadway Melody, in 1930

Nerds — Sat, 17 May 2008 15:10:57 +0000

Awesome. I couldn’t possibly explain this any better. I mean, not awesome for the poor dogs tied into costumes and forced to act as humans of course, but awesome nonetheless. Whoever thought of this bizarre mess should have won an Oscar. Named The Dogway Melody, this was a dog-only spoof or parody, or something, of the first all-musical film, The Broadway Melody, released in 1929 and is also available as an extra on the Broadway Melody special edition DVD. Dogway Melody picks up with Mr. Cur, a Broadway producer, who puts on a show and makes a play for the leading lady. Played by various, dogs. So, uh, enjoy?

Star Wars according to a 3 year old

Nerds — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 08:28:46 +0000

Cute alert!! As with any proud nerd father, there comes a time when they must introduce their child to the wonders of Star Wars. Only this time, the father filmed parts of his daughters monologue explaining one of the most famous sci-fi films of all time. Quickly becoming a YouTube hit, the little one is now receiving movie and television offers, which rightly are being turned down.

The proud father had to say:

Here is my daughter, age 3, explaining the plot of Star Wars Episode IV.

She explained the whole movie to me in much greater detail but unfortunately I didn’t have the camera going. When I finally caught her talking about the movie again she delivered this truncated, but still funny, version.

A little more about the video: She wasn’t coached to say anything, nor was she forced to make the video. She rarely stops talking. Those of you with children understand this: sometimes it’s harder to turn the faucet off than to turn the faucet on.

The video was edited to make it shorter, more cohesive and hopefully funnier. I did move some of the lines around so it would make more sense.

Star Wars trumpet solo + beauty pageant =

Absolute hilarity. I know it’s an oldie, but I had to finally post more Star Wars goods, because, what are nerds without Star Wars after all? From the 80s, this is apparently a statewide beauty pageant from Kansas, where Miss Douglas County, Stacy Hedger, decides she wants to play a stirring trumpet solo for a medley of Star Wars, complete with choreographed laser shots and deflection rolls.
