Intarweb video cavalcade
Apr. 5th, 2006 02:32 amThanks to the folks up late on #crfh. These videos cut my IQ in half.
We must kung fu fight!
We must kung fu fight!
- Final showdown from a terrible '80s action flick titled "Undefeatable". I like one of the comments: "Don't piss off David Byrne"
- GAR-bage day?!?! HeHAHAHAHA! HeHAHAHAHA!
- '70s kung fu trailers. Praise the Shaw Brothers! Highlights include the cat, the matter-of-fact way the hero of Iron Fist Rebel says "That's it. I'm gonna kill you. You murdering swine.", and a completely anomalous Australian accent. And the lockpicking as sex metaphor.
- Kung fu cat vs. UFC cat. "Does this bother you? Does this bother you? I'm not touching you. Does this bother you?" WHAM.
- GWAR - Meat Sandwich. Barbarian hordes conquer the university commons and play basketball against Jesus.
- Santo Gold. An infomercial for gaudy jewelry and a sci-fi wrestling movie titled "Blood Circus".
- Type O Negative - I Don't Wanna Be Me. The Britney Spears bit is particularly mindscarring.
- The Bing Bong Twins
- Changing on the train. Save some time in the morning by getting dressed during your commute! I love all of the people trying very hard to look away.
- Testing LSD on British troops. A deadpan classic.
- Plants from another dimension. Welcome to the rainforest. It wants to eat you.
- The endings to Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda: The Faces of Evil, for CDi. Funny how the CDi never took off as a gaming platform. Featuring animation that looks like it was done by Ralph Bakshi's retarded cousin!
- School bus crash. Another one with good user comments.
It came from the '80s

We return now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when Saturdays consisted of nothing but watching cartoons and eating sugary cereal of indeterminate flavor.
- The Super Mario Bros. Super Show intro. You'll be hooked on the brothers!
- Devo - Girl U Want. Devo still rocks to this very day.
- Ad for the Game Genie. Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan were not available to make this ad, so Galoob got the next best thing: a couple of wannabes they found wandering in a mall in Torrance.
- The Nintendo Cereal System. If you squint really hard and use a lot of imagination, the little pieces of technicolor kibble almost look kind of like Nintendo sprites! I'd still like to know why the "Link" piece was purple.

- The Heart of the World - a bizarre story about a love triangle and the end of the world (by heart attack). Sort of like a silent film with sound effects.
- His Name is Alive - Can't Go Wrong Without You by the Brothers Quay. Glasses vibrate on the ceiling while a rabbit doll protects eggs against Death and a young girl sways and bleeds.
- Frank the Magic Dragon. Puff the Magic Dragon + dialogue from Blue Velvet = ???
- Miles Davis & John Coltrane - So What live from 1958. Nothing weird about this, just AWESOME
- They Might Be Giants - Ana Ng and I are getting old and we still haven't walked in each other's majestic presence
- The Who - Who Are You. Keith Moon was a fucking maniac.
