From movies to comics to games to tech, they burn just about every geek franchise out there in under six minutes.

It was long before Facebook and YouTube, when meeting a potential mate meant hanging up your Cloak of Sarcasm and actually leaving the house.

Then along comes Video Mate. You break out your Beta max camera, make an audition tape that you think will make Chuck Woolery proud, and wait for the propositions to start rolling in. You have no idea that millions of people will see just how suave you are…a mere thirty years too late.

Ear way in hay ee thay uney may.”

#1GF! snapped out of her morning routine for a second. “Wait. What are you singing?”

I shrugged and repeated. “Ear way in hay ee thay uney may.”

#1GF! shook her head. “What is it? Did you make it up?”

It wasn’t an invalid question. It’s not entirely uncommon for me to make up songs. “No, I’m singing ‘We’re in the Money’.”

“Oh my god.”

“It’s Pig Latin.”

“Oh. my. god. She knows a handful of words and you’re already branching out into Pig Latin? Is that a good idea?”

I shook my head. “It’s from this movie from 1933 called Gold Diggers. Ginger Rogers sings it.”

“So…you’re singing it in Pig Latin.”

“She did too.”

“No, she didn’t.”

“Oh, yes she did.”

“In 1933.” #1GF! dipped her chin. “Riiight.”

“Really. It’s an old-school, big-production dance number until the camera gets right up in her face and she starts singing in Pig Latin. I’m telling you. It’s really weird.”

#1GF! shook her head. “How do you find these things?”

I mistakenly thought it was an actual question. “Well, during a writing break yesterday, I was looking for a little history on Esquivel, and Wikipedia called him the ‘The Busby Berkley of Cocktail Music.’ So, I was like, ‘Who the hell is Busby Bixby,’ and—”

#1GF! patted my chest. “Okay. I have to go.”

“You’ll see. I’m going to find the video for you.”

She kissed me as if she were patting my head. “Love you, gotta run.”

“It’s real,” I muttered as she walked down the hall.

“We’re In The Money” Sung By Ginger Rogers In Pig Latin

So, to prove to #1GF! that I wasn’t making anything up, here’s “We’re In The Money” sung by Ginger Rogers in Gold Diggers of 1933 in pig latin. To skip the Busby Bixby dance number and get right to the weirdness, skip forward to 1:35. Remember, kids: Don’t do drugs.

I can’t believe that I never saw this before because it is pure and unadulterated awesome without commercial interruption.

Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a cigarette smoking, fat guy with a mustache can…

The Italian Spiderman Trailer

Background: Although the trailer looks like authentic, low budget Italian cinema from the 1960′s or 70′s, Italian Spiderman was actually created as a film school project by Dario Russo in 2007. At the time of the trailer’s creation, the film that it advertised didn’t actually exist, and it was only after gaining traction on YouTube that Russo secured financing to create the forty minute film.

Parts one through ten of Italian Spiderman are available for your viewing pleasure on Dario Russo’s YouTube Channel, and they are as corny and craptastic as they are awesome.

I’m not sure why, but as far as I knew, the only successful paths for Dyers were book writing (like Dr. Wayne Dyer), Leather store owning (as in Dyer Leather), witchcrafting (ala Mary Dyer), and beard growing (hello). While computers and heavy metal have always factored in, I always thought of those as lifestyle choices with benefits rather than career choices. Thanks to Myles Dyer, the vocalist behind the video below, I can now add “heavy metal farmering” to the official Dyer career list.

Tractooooooor. Moooooo.

Enjoy!

I don’t know if it’s because it’s a new twist on the stoner formula or because the questions are so off the wall, but even my short attention span made it through all ten minutes.

I didn’t think that it was hysterical when I watched it, but since then, I’ve been randomly bursting out with “Blizzard Man… 1995″ or “We. Rap. All the time. Oh, we are so good at rapping!”. Once you’re done watching, I have a question for you…



(via Sneakmove)

I don’t think that Blizzard Man was intended to be a social commentary, but it made me think about the hype machines that are constantly grabbing for attention. Despite a growing immunity to marketing, at one time or another, we’ve all been duped into backing an inferior product because of an excellent marketing machine. Of the characters in the video,

Who do you most identify with?

  • Blizzard Man, who is blissfully unaware at just how bad his product really is,
  • Ludacris, who thinks the Blizzard Man is really good and turns everyone around,
  • the soundman, who never comes around, but high fives because no one is listening to him anyway, or
  • the record reps who eventually get sucked into the Blizzard Man hype machine despite their initial reactions?

Personally, I feel like all of them at one time or another, but most of the time, I feel like the Blizzard Man (and I fear that #1GF! may be like my own personal version of Luda). I. Blog. All the time. Oh, I am so good at blogging.

Who do you most identify with?
