The YouTube Museum of Television (Appendix A)

Thursday, July 13th, 2006

Keidra created the original museum. I have merely named myself curator of the local branch (which is still looking for a clip of Robalod from mars who eats all kinds of candy bars). Dig in and remember how you used to be impressed with a lot less.

CBS Special Logo


Years ago I saw an imitation of this on a Homestartunner cartoon and I always wanted to find the original. I googled and googled, and it was a bit of a bitch to find, but totally worth it. Best. Bongos. Ever.

Zoom Intro


You totally forgot about bernadette’s arm trick, didn’t you…

Electric Company


You know you wanted a Zoom shirt. Yes you did, Nerdo. Yes, you did.

The Crying Indian


He gives water to the garbage (Yes, that was a Dune reference. Now, I am the Nerdo.)

1977 - Be A Pepper


30 years later, and I want to punch the American werewolf in the face for that vest.

Star Wars Drunk Driving PSA


What more can be said (except Go for Papa Palpatine)?

PSA Better Business Bureau Abominable Snowman


You have absolutely no idea how difficult this was to find. I wanted to find the “Balancing my meal” or the “Now you left the window open and you’re wasting heat” vids, but I failed miserably. At least I’m the boss of my own money.

Motherfucking StarBlazers, Bitch


You can’t stop playing this theme. Go ahead and Try. You just can’t.

Lazy Linking Games and Video Edition

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

Games

Letter Lasso: It’s a simple “Seek n’ Find” word game, but the time pressure really gets to me.

Quick Stack: You match the colors and stack the blocks.

Quarkz: It’s like Othello, but with a little more strategy. You have to actually read the directions on this one.

3D Superball: Click a ball against a white box to get points. I think I got 26 before getting bored.

Video

Metal By Numbers: Oh man. This is one of those videos that metalheads understand. It makes fun of the nu metal/metalcore movement while Scott Ian moshes around. COOKIE COOKIE COOKIE! (found via Notes of Chaos)

Bike Jousting News Cast: I write 4 billion posts over 4 years, and I’m not the first Dyer to get on TV for being a weirdo. I’m breaking out the Spock shirt and heading for the roof to catch me some famous.

Lazy Links: Something for Everyone Edition

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Games

Wordy: It’s Tetris with words. It’s not great, but worth a link for word nerds.

Books

Presenting The New Testament: Jesus Loves Porn Stars Edition! Yes, it’s real. Yes, it’s $8.95. Yes, it’s the Best. Bible. Ever. Put your hand on the new bible (and click) for the full story. Amen.
Jesus Loves Porn Stars

Audio

Beyond The Neon Podcast: I regularly read Beyond the Neon, the story of a former strip club DJ, and this is their first attempt at a podcast. It’s a little raunchy, but it’s far more professional and entertaining than most first attempts. (45 mins.)

Video

Robot Chicken parodies Star Wars.

There’s a better quality version of this at devilducky.com.

Guitar Hero Tab

There are some hard sections in guitar hero and nothing is more frustrating than having to play a whole song over and over until you figure out how to play a section in the middle of the song. Wouldn’t it be easier if there were guitar hero tablature? Oh, it would. And oh, it exists: Guitar Hero Note Charts.

SecondSpin Sale

Every so often, I take the plunge into SecondSpin.com’s inventory to root out some good deals on used CDs. They are now having a 20% off sale through Wednesday June 28. Prices range from $0.99 on up with shipping running $2.50 + $0.40 per CD. If you buy cheap CDs or a fair number that are moderately priced, it doesn’t come out too badly. I can usually average under $7 / CD with a fair number around $4-5. There is a lot of inventory to go through, though…

They Always Fuck Over The Fat Kid

Pete forwarded another case of someone taping the fat kid doing something stupid and getting it posted on the internet. This time, it was the fat kid’s brother. You sort of have to watch until the end to get to the best parts…

Star Trek Cribs

It is what it says it is…

Family Guy Role Playing (as promised)

I promised some folks that I’d find this family guy clip and post it. If you get it, you are qualified to join the big, fat nerds of America club.

When I Close My Eyes, I See Colored Dots and Stars

Monday, May 1st, 2006

I would’ve spent some time writing something witty or informative, but I accidentally bought Guitar Hero this weekend, and it’s eating all of my free time.

I thought this would be the dumbest game ever (especially for someone who has a real guitar), and it is, but I have to say that even at a hefty $70, it’s easily one of the most fun games I’ve owned on the PS2.

Need a second opinion? Ask non-gaming #1GF! or my non-gaming parents if it’s fun. They’re not here now, but I can assure you that they enjoyed it.

Guitar Hero 2 is due in the fall, which is about the time when I should finish this one.

Has anyone played multi-player?

I really gotta go. Virtual rock is awaits.

Lazy Linking: El Dia Del Humpo Edicion

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

Just because I know that you like to screw around…

Video Beatboxing (video): I’m a sucker for beatboxing, and Lasse Gjertsen serves up a pretty cool video beatbox. (via fazed)

Orbox B (game): One of those flash logic games that I like to hack around with while waiting for my CDs to rip. I got to level 20 (tgb517) out of 30 before giving up. (via fazed)

Hit the Golf Ball (game) …as far as you can in 10 seconds. This si surprisingly simple, and surprisingly addictive even for a person who fucking hates golf. My top 3 were 11941, 11896, & 11054. (via in4mador)

Bullet Time (game): Simple reaction time game. Once the gun is fired, you click to dodge. High of 10503 with a one time R/T of .174. (via linkdumper)

Ice Block Buster: This game wears mighty thin, mighty fast, but losing is so much fun. Just punch your way through the ice walls or laugh when you don’t. (via Kontraband)

Shapeshifter (game): I don’t really dig this one too much, but it’s one of those Tetris-style games that #1GF! might like it, so it made the list. (via in4mador)

Lazy Linking: Buggy BrokeBack Edition

Friday, April 7th, 2006

I had mentioned these at work and promised to post them…

Work-safe Videos

Brokeback to the Future (YouTube)
The Empire BrokeBack (YouTube)
MadTV’s Brokeback Mountain 2: The Cowgirls (PistolWimp)

Games

Avoision2 (via fazed). It’s like Ball Toucher (previous post), but with bugs. #1GF! will never beat the high of 786 because she get’s too itchy.

Replayable Web Game: Bombwars

Sunday, April 2nd, 2006

Bomb Wars screenshotBombwars: You’re half of a pair of stick figures who like throw bombs at each other. It takes a minute to get the hang of, but it ends up being pretty fun once you start learning how to time your shots.

Unfortunately, playing more than two levels requires registration.

24: With Bobby Lee

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

Thanks to the trusty DVR, Every week, #1GF! and I watch MadTV. Week after week, I go to work and my coworkers are forced to endure my explanations of the funny skits that they haven’t seen. Sure, they could tell me every expression on Keifer Crapperland’s face on “24,” but have no idea who Bobby Lee is outside of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

Suddenly, this week, everyone seems to have seen the “24: with Bobby Lee” skit that was on MadTV. I think that all of my poor skit reenactment attempts have finally worn them into adding it to their DVR schedules.

For those of you who still haven’t added the show to your DVR’s, here are 6 skits to hopefully convince you…

(Special thanks to Kung Fu Chud for finding the original “24: with Bobby Lee” skit when I just couldn’t seem to find it.)

24: With Bobby Lee (featuring John Cena):

Lazy Linking: Ball Toucher Edition

Friday, March 17th, 2006

Three puzzle games to eat those spare moments:

Splash Back (level 13)

Magnetism (level A12)

White Chamber (escaped)

And 1 paranoia inducing, but poorly named game:

Ball toucher (15,000 or so)

Trounce my best and drop them in the comments…

I Really Need Help

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

It’s 2 AM once again, and the list is at an unhealthy 115 albums. I also accidentally ran across these videos:

Nimoy sings Bilbo Baggins

Shatner does Rocket Man

Shatner does LSD

Send help.

I Need Help

Wednesday, March 8th, 2006

Laying in bed…
Me: Hey, who was that guy in that show with the Olsen Twins?
#1GF!: What?
Me: John Stamos?
#1GF!: What?
Me: I’ll bet he has an album…
#1GF!: Oh, This has to stop…

It’s a complete waste of time, but I can’t seem to stop adding albums to the Artist/Singer Megalist. I want to post other stuff. I really do.

One thing that should be noted is that there are a hundred download spots for Herve “Dee Plane, Dee Plane” Villechaize’s “Why Do People Have to Fight“, including this Google Video.

I’m Juggernaut, Bitch

Monday, February 27th, 2006

Remember a couple of years ago when someone overdubbed old G.I. Joe public service announcements and created classics like Mr. Body Massage?

Well, someone has done a similar thing with an X-men cartoon. Ever since I saw the stupid thing, I’ve been walking around afraid that I might blurt out, “I’m juggernaut, bitch,” and have no one know what the hell I’m talking about.

So, get on board and watch it so I don’t seem crazy.

Scratch n Spin: Rotary DJ Giant

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

I couldn’t resist posting this. I watched it 4 times, and giggled every time. It took me three viewings to realize that the DJ Giant’s cross faders are people on bikes. Scratch n Spin (Dopely worksafe via boingboing)

Toys R’ Us - South Bay Closing

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

The Toys R’ Us store in South Bay (Dorchester) is closing because the company is getting slaughtered by Wal-Mart. They are currently offering 30-50% off of all stock. I went in this weekend, and they have a LOT of stuff. They had video games at 30%, games at 30%, and about a hundred Darth Vader voice-changing helmets at 30%… I really wanted to buy 5 for my next staff meeting, so that when the boss walked into the room we could all just sit there breathing “Kssshhhhh FFaaaawww. Kssshhhhh FFaaaawww.”

In my head, it’s especially surreal when combined with business attire.

Recipes for Lazy Links

Friday, January 20th, 2006

The Kid From Brooklyn: Take 1 6 foot 4, 400 pound man in a tank top, give him a web cam, and allow him to give his rambling opinions on various topics. Pepper with F-bombs.

The internet is for porn: Take 1 battle of the sexes, 1 nerdy programmer, add way too much time on their hands and mix well.

Xyzzy: take 1 president, add a text adventure, and mix well. Grues not required.

Push The Button: 1 idiot. 1 button. Mix.

All are work safe for those with headphones…

Undocumented Deal: BestBuy DVDs

Monday, December 12th, 2005

While doing a little holiday shopping this weekend, I accidentally discovered that BestBuy is running a promotion where you get a $10 gift card when you spend $75 on DVDs. With Harold & Kumar go to White Castle, Scarface, Training Day, Donnie Darko, Mean Girls, Shrek 2, Collateral, and that one where the dude goes, “MARY! MARY! Don’tcha know me?” all running $10 a pop, it shouldn’t be too hard to hit the $75 mark. Oddly, it seems to be in-store only and I have been unable to verify it anywhere online.

You can also get 48 Hours, Trading Places, & Beverly Hills Cop or all 3 Austin Powers movies bundled together for about $20 per set.

I don’t usually mention deals, but this one even beats DeepDiscountDVD, which usually has the some of the better prices around.

Check BestBuy’s 2 for 20 DVD list and $10 Stocking Stuffers for more.

TV Theme Treasure Trove

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

While I was convincing #1GF! that I was the king of being able to sing old TV theme songs by singing as much as I could remember of the theme to Chico & the Man, she went to the internet to confirm that I wasn’t one big, fat liar. I wasn’t, but in the process, she found sitcomsonline.com. For the past hour, I have been playing theme after theme from A-Z.

Do you remember how funky the theme from Barney Miller was? Too Close For Comfort? Maude? Good Times? WKRP in Cincinnati? What’s Happening? The Jeffersons? Sanford & MotherF’n Son? The quality of the samples isn’t great, but they have themes from tons of shows (sometimes with multiple versions) for you to test / torture your loved ones with. (Greatest American Hero, Mannix, & Ironsides were all absent).

The themes to The Golden Girls, Silver Spoons, Valerie, or Saved By the Bell are guaranteed to torture anyone within earshot if left on repeat. Guaranfuckinteed.

And The Andy Griffith Show will be in their heads well into tomorrow.

Lazy Links

I’m too busy growing my beard to write, so I’ve compiled some of the crap I’ve found while sifting through Google video. Some old, some new, all useless for folks with a dialup connection.

Baby says “dump truck”
Garbage Man Prank
Obi Wan buys a used car
The only Whitney Houston song worth listening to
Jimmy Kimmel: Unnecessary Censorship
Octopus eats Shark
exploding whale

It’s Friday, You Ain’t Got No Job…

Friday, November 18th, 2005

I’m off today, so no big post. All I can offer is Pandora (via fazed), which is supposed to play songs that are similar to to a song or artist that you like. It’s like musicplasma with sound or Yahoo radio with simpler ratings. It seemed like a good way to find new music, but it didn’t seem to be all that accurate, yet. And giving me 5 songs and then telling me to sign up is irritating.
