There’s a comedy group in New York by the name of Improv Everywhere. Apparently, they’ve done all kinds of pranks, staged events, and planned missions over the last several years. The most recent mission was to recreate the first Princess Leia/Darth Vader meeting from Star Wars…on a subway in New York.
It looks to me like the crowd enjoyed it.
Just one thing, though. Why is there a huge spider on the back of Leia’s book? Eep.
If you’ve been popping by this blog for a while, I’m sure that you have heard of AngryAlien.com’s 30 Second Bunny film re-enactments. I’m kind of addicted to them. Too bad she’s not going to be making any more. *sniffle* (Well, she’s taking a break at least.)
Anyway, here is the 30 Second Bunnified version of Star Wars (A New Hope/Episode 4/etc.). Make sure to take note of Princess Leia’s “haredo.”
Happy (a couple of days early) birthday, Brother Mine! I hope that the videos which I found for you this year meet with your approval.
We start with the trailer for Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveler (a film we all enjoyed in our youth.) It’s followed by a link to a bit more of same, and then…an appropriate song from The Electric Company.
Sister Mine and Brother Mine have birthdays this weekend. But, as Sister Mine will be out of the country on the birthday in question, I’ve decided to post her video silliness a little bit early.
As I have done for the past couple of years, I am once again posting a blast from the past just for you, Jives. I hope that you like it.
Speaking of telenovelas, here is a Bing.com commercial that spoofs on them, too. A Spanish-speaking friend of mind was kind enough to point me towards it. (Thanks, Maria!) Now, I have no particular fondness for Bing, but the commercial is mighty funny.
While we’re on the subject of telenovelas, does anyone have a favorite? Or…have you seen the Mexican Soap Opera episode of Psych?
This is another one of those videos we talked about at work. It took a bit of hunting, but we finally tracked it down. It’s a skit from MadTV spoofing the popular Telenovelas found on Univision, etc. here in the USA (and on tons of other channels worldwide.)
It’s occurred to me that I seem to be posting videos in pairs. So, for my second Sesame Street video I give you a glimpse into the place I work now. No, I don’t work with Cookie Monster. My coworkers are just prone to remembering some cool tv skit, etc. and eight and a half years of reference work means that I can’t help myself. I have to then go onto Youtube and find said skit for them. The other day, it was this video I hunted down. In an interesting moment of serendipity, that very same evening I was going through some old CDs, and one of them actually had this song on it! Stap me! Oh my stars and garters! Other statements indicative of surprise!
Enjoy the video. And I hope that Cookie Monster found his cookie in the end.
I’m not sure if I’ve posted this here before, but it’s worth another look either way. Once upon a time on Sesame Street this animated short was shown. I have been singing the song ever since. Yes, it has been known to make Koshvader a bit insane, but I sing it anyway. Why? Because there are chickens in the trees!
This giggle-inducing spoof of the Old Spice commercials is a commercial for the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU. Very clever and quite well done. Kudos, folks!
A gentleman by the name of Isaiah Mustafa is the Old Spice Guy these days (as seen on TV in commercials of coolness). He’s been Youtubing replies to folks that have asked him questions on Twitter, etc. (Apparently from Portland, OR.) This is his reply on the subject of libraries.
You can check out more on his Youtube channel here. Quite a clever commercial campaign there Old Spice. Excellent choice of spokesperson, too. (…And if you want to know more about the process behind all of this awesomesauce go here.)
