When I watched the first video by DJ Sara and DJ Ryusei, I was sure that it had to be fake. I voiced this opinion to my monitor (which didn’t respond) and eventually found myself two inches from the screen trying to see if anyone modified the videos to attach some DJ’s arms to the kids.
After watching a bunch of their videos, I’m convinced that they’re awesomely real. These kids are only 6 and 8 years old…
This week, I sat through about ten minutes show called Extreme Dating, which was so good that it was being broadcast at the prime slot of 6:30 AM. The premise was that two people go on a date, but one of them has an earpiece that is connected to the other’s exes. The exes then try to ruin the date by feeding questions and insider information.
This episode had an extremely high-maintenance Swedish girl who was looking for a guy to read poetry to her all day and wait a mere six to eight months while she

I know Stormtrooper week is over, but I found these under a folding table while I was sweeping up.
Troops is a parody of the “Cops” reality TV show.
Parody of the movie, “Clerks”.
If they had only invited a Stormtrooper in the first place, none of this would’ve ever happened.
It’s Fridays are usually music posts, so you might have been expecting another round of the Shotgun CD reviews. Because we’ve been churning through Stormtrooper posts all week, I couldn’t let the final day pass without one last post.
So here it is: the Grand Finale to Stormtrooper Week. Watch it while we break down the elaborate sets and tip the caterers.
Stormtrooper Week happened largely by accident, but did you enjoy it? Are you sad to see it go or did it just go way too far? Let me know in the comments…
Somehow it has become STORMTROOPER WEEK here at dyers.org! Not that you mind because you know that Stormtroopers are awesome. They may even be more awesome than ninjas.
And all these Stormtrooper posts have awakened that secret childhood desire to dress up like Stormtroopers, haven’t they? It certainly has for Kerry and Johnny Wadd, and it probably has for you too. No one should have to deny their inner ‘trooper, but with Stormtrooper costumes starting at over $650 on Ebay, getting your trooper on will probably require that you sit down and make the costume yourself.

Yesterday, I highlighted 101 pictures of Stormtroopers in every day situations. Most came from Flickr pools like the 501st Stormtrooper Legion, but a few of my favorites came from Danny Choo, the dancer in the Tokyo Dance Trooper video below. I don’t know if it’s the maids, the dancing, or the guy on the train trying not to stare, but I crack up at this every time.

I hate posting videos two days in a row, but this one was too good to pass up. Whether love or hate Kevin Smith you have to respect his response to an audience member’s question at Comic-Con 2007.
The question was, “Do you ever plan on making an original movie without rehashing any of your old characters that doesn’t suck?”
Today, I caught a cool story from Boingboing where a guy had supposedly modded old Chuck E. Cheese robots to play rap songs for him in his basement (link). Actually, the robots were the The Rock-afire Explosion, an animatronic stage show from Showbiz Pizza Place, a forerunner of Chuck E. Cheese.
After watching the strange animatronic version of Bubba Sparxxx’s “Miss New Booty”, I went on to watch Fergie’s “London Bridge”, Nickelback’s “If Everyone Cared”, and really well done rendition of “Lithium” by Evanescence, which was just too weird and creepy not to share.
If you’re interested some of the behind the scenes details, the creator of the videos posted a video to refute the argument that he’s just slamming buttons to make this all work.
While I can’t prove the kid is from Boston, it looks like his band plays all over the Boston Area, so I’m claiming him as our own. The video is compilation of the Tyler drumming from age 2 until age 11. It’s pretty incredible.
There is nothing more Boston than Dunkin Donuts. I laugh every time I see this ad, although I wish that Ace had said, “I’ll give you the P&L Statement, baby!” It almost sounds like he wanted to say it, but didn’t.
#1GF! and I were watching an episode of Rescue Me in which a police chief stepped up to the mic in the background of a scene. You only saw him for four seconds, but you could hear him for most of the scene.
I went into a mini fit.
Me: That’s… thats…
#1GF!: What?? What??
Me: [hits pause and starts waving wildly]
#1GF!: WHAT?
Me: gaaaaaaherniebockjunior. It’s Ernie Boch Jr. The chief. It is. I know it is.
#1GF!: That would be funny if you’re right.
Well, I was. The uncredited police chief was none other than Boston’s car dealership mogul, Ernie Boch Jr.

The Participatory Culture Foundation has just released Miro, a free, open source RSS reader for video feeds. It can handle just about every video format that you can think of, has a built-in bittorrent client, and runs in both windowed and full screened modes. Formerly named the Democracy Player, this cross-platform player is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux.
Miro displaying the channel guide
With a million video players and sites out there, why should you care about Miro? You should care about it because Miro is the first solid step toward independent TV. By creating an integrated player and channel guide, Miro is not trying to supplement your TV watching: It’s trying to replace it.
By including a built-in channel guide that containing nearly 1600 channels, Miro is taking all of the legwork out of finding quality, independent video on the web. With more channels being added every day (trust me, I volunteer moderating them. It never stops.), there is something available for every taste. I ripped the following category list out of the channel guide this morning so you can get an idea of the wide range of channels available:
Tons of content doesn’t necessarily mean that there’s anything worth watching though, right? While I will admit that there are a few high school video blogs in there (LOL! OMG! WTF! BRB!), they are generally outnumbered by the amount of quality content. If you like news, ABC, NBC, Reuters, BBC, Fox, G4TV, and plenty of independent channels are available. If you’re a sucker for comedies, there are tons of regularly produced, independent sitcoms like The Burg, We Need Girlfriends, and Cearealized.
I currently have over 50 channels loaded into my player that range from G4 TV Shows to independent web-only sitcoms, and there are more videos in those channels than I could watch in a week.
If the guide isn’t enough for you, you can blaze your own trail with the built in video search feature. It will let you hunt down videos on Blip.tv, YouTube, Videoh, DailyMotion, Google Video, Blogdigger, and Revver from a single interface. It will also allow you to save those searches as channels, so that you can get constant updates on your favorite topic, whether it’s “Robot Chicken” or “chicken monkey donkey porn”. You can even set up playlists of channels to have Miro play all of your videos back to back in full screen.
With all this downloading, it would be logical to expect that you have to keep a watchful eye on your hard drive to keep it from getting packed with the videos that you never watch, but Miro is designed to work within a limited space. When you add a channel from the guide, Miro will manage the download and storage of the videos to prevent your drive from filling up. After you watch each video, you have the option of saving it, deleting it, or letting it delete itself automatically after a set period of time.
Sound cool, yet? It should. It’s the future of independent content.
Miro Will Kill Your Television… if you let it.
The Participatory Culture Foundation is a Massachusetts-based non-profit organization which seeks to balance the playing field when it comes to producing and distributing content. They were recently funded by the Mozilla Foundation and seek to help solve the growing problem of a small number of corporations controlling mass media. You can help balance the scales by turning your eyeballs away from the TV and onto Miro. I have no affiliation with the PCF beyond being a volunteer channel moderator, so I’m not employed by them nor am I qualified to speak for them. If you want to blame someone for any errors or mentions of chicken monkey donkey porn, you’ll have to blame me in the comments or by email.
Every week, #1GF! will sit down and read the police report from our local town newspaper. In the city this would be rather depressing, but in a small town, it often turns up some amusing items. This week, she found this gem:
“11:34 PM: Caller reports a man in a gorilla costume doing Karate moves in the street. She finds this to be very suspicious. Officer detailed reported that suspect found the costume in the basement and was goofing around.”
Now, if that Kung Fu Gorilla was on the scene when the following video took place, Aquaman might have not been victorious. I had to watch this twice just to make sure of what I was seeing, and I am forced to wonder if something is seriously wrong with kids today. Doodleoodleooo AquaMAAAAA HAN!
I don’t know about you, but every time I hear the Super Mario theme, I feel like a big nerd. It’s a theme that any gamer over a certain age can hum off the top of their heads, and when people put their efforts into playing it, I end up grinning like a dope.
And I’m not alone. Below are the results of sifting through hundreds of videos to try to find the theme played on as many instruments as possible. I ended up with 43 decent renditions, covering brass, woodwinds, string and percussion instruments. The top ten is below, and the full 44 is listed at the bottom.
Before you proceed, be warned that I claim no responsibility if the Super Mario Theme is still stuck in your head next Tuesday.
Update 4/16/08: The RC car video was added at #2, pushing “Flute (with beatboxing) out of the top 10. Technically, the list is now 45 ways.
10. High school band
The odds are extremely high that the only person in this video that was alive to play Super Mario Brothers when it came out was the teacher. And a high school band is obligatory in this type of list, anyway, isn’t it? You know it is.
9. Contrabassoon
There’s something about the sound of the contrabassoon that cracks me up. And Richard plays it for us fabulously, even though he can’t get the camera situated the way he’d like.
8. Two Electric Guitars
Two guitars. One kid. I haven’t seen anything like this since Satan unleashed his metal fury in Rock n Roll Nightmare.
7. 11 String Bass
When I form my world-conquering metal band, The Mighty Fist of Thor, this guy is getting an invite to audition. He will invariably deem the music to be below his abilities, get a PhD in Music History, and die never knowing the gratification that comes with doing twelve chicks from eleven countries at the same time in a tour bus hot tub. At least he made it to evil number six on the list though, right?
6. Balalaika (Russian folk guitar)
While this version isn’t played the most accurately, I have never seen anyone play a folk instrument with such a rock star attitude. And considering he’s playing the Super Mario Theme, I’m guessing the reason is either insanity or nuts the size of Titan. In either case, this guy is also getting an invite to the Mighty Fist of Thor auditions, assuming my agent can find his tiny village in Russia.
5. Alto sax
Notice that this kid is not only in the standard rock star stance, but he plays the song in the style of Lisa Simpson.
4. Ballpoint Pen
While not yet accepted as a standard orchestral instrument, the ballpoint pen takes slot number 3. I think my favorite part of this is the “This is just an ordinary pen” move at the beginning, as if he’s about to do some sort of remarkable magic trick with it.
3. Beer Bottles
“Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.” Oh no? Well, it gets you famous on YouTube, now doesn’t it? Yes, and it gets you the number two slot on this list.
2. RC Car and Bottles
Take a lot of bottles, a radio controlled car, an underground garage, and the Japanese and throw them in a blender and you know that something awesome is going to be unleashed. This was a late addition that knocked “flute (with beatboxing)” off the top ten list, debuting at #2.
1. Tesla Coil
These guys jack it up to 88 miles an hour and play the Super Mario Theme with 1.21 gigawatts of power. Seriously. How can you beat that? 1.21 gigawatts!? 1.21 gigawatts!? Great Scott! the only power source capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity is… Mario.
If you haven’t gotten enough, yet, continue on. I take no responsibility for any further damage you do to your nerdy little synapses…

Pits are for moshin’ and washin’. They ain’t for fightin’. (via Notes of Chaos)
“‘Cause every time I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong, so I’ll have to say I love you, in a song.”
I don’t know how the jidges couldn’t be impressed with this.
If you’re not amazed by this, you haven’t spent much time with an average two year old.
Sure, I like growing a beard and I might have the fashion sense of a lumberjack, but I have to admit that every year I watch So You Think You Can Dance. This year I have not only started critiquing the dancers after their performances like I know what I’m talking about, but I’ve now gone so far as to put some clips from the show on this site. I really don’t think it will be long before I get my period. I can just feel it.
Anyway, the three videos below are just a few of the routines that I’ve been impressed with this season. I really don’t think that the small format does them justice because you miss a lot of the nuances. Holy crap. I just said nuance. And I’m all out of tampons.
If you need me, I’ll be clutching my wiener so it doesn’t dry up and fall off.
So You Think You Can Dance- Bryan Gaynor – The top video clips of the week are here
(skip forward until the countdown reaches 4:20)
(skip forward until the countdown reaches 4:00)
I’ve been moderating channels for the Democracy Player for a month or so, and I’ve been on a tear to find independent web TV that I can watch instead of cable. There’s a ton of video that I’m still sifting through, but I’ve been amazed at how many quality web TV shows that I have queued up for when I have a spare minute. And thanks to the Democracy Channel Guide, the list keeps growing.
There is quality independent content out there. It’s just sort of difficult to find. Because it’s the end of the week, I thought I’d save you some searching and hook you up with a few of the series that I’ve come across recently.
Out of all the videos episodes I’m watching right now, this is one of my favorites. It’s about three nerds who need girlfriends.
We Need Girlfriends
This is a daily show that spoofs the idiocy of morning shows.
Good Morning World
This is technically indy, but it is produced by VH1, so I’m not sure if it counts. This is a series that chronicles a reality show about a boxer looking for a trainer.
Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3
Sockbaby is a pretty neat little 3 part video from 2004 that spans about 15 minutes in total. The fight scenes are pretty good for an indy film, and it’s a shame that it never made it past 3 episodes.
Sockbaby
This is a completely silly four part series about, you guessed it, Elite Hackers.
L33t Haxxors
“In the year 2117, an eight year old gay boy named Shannon found a magic lamp. He was granted three wishes. The first: A fur jacket. The second: a flying car. And the third was a planet. full. of unicorns. This is the story of that planet.” Are you sitting there with your fucking mouth wide open? Wait until you hear the theme song.
Planet Unicorn
If you have an indy web series that you watch, drop it in the comments.
This morning, this song suddenly popped into my head within minutes of waking up. It’s now 13 hours later, and no song has been able to dislodge it.
Before I lobotomize myself, I am not only going to embed the song in your head, but I will attempt to use positive association to keep it there for a while.
I do this purely to be a douche.
There are no swears, nudity or gore in the video above, but I wouldn’t exactly call it safe for work. And you know the track was added to Earworm Hell.
I have no idea what is going on with this site, but we might as well ride this Viking Metal trend all the way to Valhalla!
You know you want to know what it sounds like. Go ahead. Click and join.
Proof that if you don’t have talent, you can get by by whoring it up. Yes, that’s Sulu in there.
This was taken from the awesome documentary, Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey. It’s like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.
It’s old as Ymir, but if Odin had sent these bad boys, I may have gotten my BestBuy card.
If you like the metals and are not seeing yet of the Dethklok show, then you should be to seeing it. It’s for the metals.
Dethklok records their latest album not in the ocean, but inside the ocean in the heaviest, deepest, most brutal part: The Mariana Treeeeeennnncccchhhh.
Making my triumphant return with minimal effort…
Ever since I set up that Novelty Radio station on FineTune, I’ve been walking around with the chorus to The Ballad of Chasey Lain stuck in my head. Yesterday, I happened to be walking around singing both the lead and backup parts while getting ready for work. Because I tend to make up a lot of random songs around the house, #1GF! just gave me a look indicating that I should stop.
“What? It’s not my fault. It’s a real song and it’s stuck in my head.”
I don’t know why, but the words coming out of my mouth somehow became slightly more acceptable just because I hadn’t made them up.
For those of you who want to be stuck with a chorus in your head that you can’t sing at work, go ahead and watch the video below. Then get back to me on Monday as to whether or not you’re still humming it. Over the last few days, it has wiped out any earworm that I tried to replace it with.
When you walk up behind your headphone-wearing coworker and say rather loudly in your best 80′s heavy-metal singer voice, “ARE YOU READY FOR LUNCHAAAAAAA!”, your smile is going to fall away faster than Cinderella’s position on the Billboard charts when he turns around and you realize:
A. The headphones are actually a headset connecting said coworker to a conference call with a large client.
B. The phone is not on mute.
After mouthing an apology, you are then free to mentally blame said coworker for leaving said phone unmuted with certified rockstars like yourself freely roaming the halls.
No, seriously.
(If you suddenly feel the need to hear Cinderella’s cowbell rich “Shake Me”, as featured in Cowbell++ Vol. 3: Rockin’ Without Dokken), the video is presented below.)
So, I was sitting there reading a post over at Notes of Chaos that introduced me to Dokaka, a Japanese beatboxer who does cover songs using only his voice as an instrument. JUD JUD did a similar thing years ago, but I have to applaud Dokaka’s increased complexity. I ended up cracking up every time I listened to his rendition of Metallica’s “Creeping Death”, so I went on a hunt for more of his stuff. In my journey around the wild, wild web, I came across a few additional covers that I thought I should post.
This is the original Creeping Death by Metallica. The video is merely the song played over a picture of the album cover. It’s not too exciting, but it was the best sound quality I could find, if you’ve either never heard the song or needed a refresher.
This is Dokaka’s all-vocal version:
Creeping Death covered by Dokaka
In searching out Dokaka, I came across Apocalyptica’s cover of Creeping Death. While not as interesting as Dokaka’s, I thought It was worth putting up because it’s an all cello rendition.
This is the Original Trooper video by I. Ron Maiden. It’s a classic, but again, it’s just presented to give you a feel for the original, if you’ve never heard it.
Here is Dokaka’s all-vocal version:
The Trooper covered by Dokaka
And here, my dear readers is the crown jewel of today’s post. If you don’t watch or listen to anything else in this post, please do yourself a favor and watch this. Gems like this are the reason that I sift through hours of video. Just from the picture, you can see that The Gauchos are four little kids. Even if you hate heavy metal, you have to appreciate their talent. And if you can’t do that, turn down the volume and just watch the little girl fronting the band.
I’ve spent days thinking about the advancement of web video as a substitute for television lately, and I’m only at the notes/research stage of a post on the topic. One of the things that I’ve been doing is doing a lot of surfing to see if there are enough quality, independent, DRM-free, legal, web-based shows and movies available to make the idea viable.
In my travels, I came across this video that I couldn’t wait to share.
The video is a mocumentary about a man named Phillip Rockhammer and his bid for the National Staredown Championship. Not only is it a quality movie that you can watch in its entirety online, but the director, J.R. McCord, has made the film available for download in both DVD and IPod formats for free.
This is the trailer:
For the full movie, head over to UnflinchingTriumph.com.
Beyond enjoying the movie, I found McCord’s Director’s Manifesto to be inspiring:
“For too long the aggression of the Hollywood mainstream movie industry has remained unchecked. It is simply unjust and un-American that the entertainment of so many is left in the hands of so few. And it is this few that seems to abhor the average viewing public consistently putting out trivial garbage and then having the audacity to charge upwards of ten dollars a pop to see said garbage. Their greed has ruined all that was once good about the movies. But it doesn’t have to be that way, and it is my goal to prove it.
My plan is to use the power of the Internet to create an entirely new and completely free distribution model for movies. I intend to make exactly $0 from this project. My goal is not money, but instead entertainment and I will go to great lengths to make sure this movie is available to all free of charge.
Hopefully this movie will help inspire others to break the Hollywood stronghold, but until then please enjoy ‘Unflinching Triumph.’”
It’s refreshing to see ideas that are usually expressed by content consumers being expressed by a content creator.
Official Staredown rules can be found at the National Association of StareDown Professionals site (a sort of easter egg at the end of the movie).
I don’t think I’m alone when I say that I sit through Wilford Brimley’s commercials just to listen to his unique pronunciation of the word, “Diabetes”. If someone remixed one of those commercials and made him nod and drum along, I’d watch it a few times. If I found multiple versions, I’d link to them on the interweb for you guys. Seriously, do the kids work these days or do they just fool around with the myspace and the youtube? Diabetisss. DyerDyer DyerDyer DyerDyer Beetis
Seriously. I’ve never understood the draw of D&D, but someone asked me to find some of the D&D related clips that I had found in the past. I found the old ones, and tacked on a couple of new selections to get you through today. You’re not paying attention, anyway. You don’t want to start anything new, and you’re short-timing because of the holiday. Give in and let the sloth wash over you.
I originally mentioned this way back in 2002, but the original link points to a deserted island in this tumultuous sea that we call the internets. Because it’s a slow fucking week, I dug up a fresh youtube link, and re-posted for those people that I know that aren’t in on the joke, yet.
We had also been talking about a recently aired repeat of the family guy that contains Dungeon and Dragon references. This clip was previously posted in June.
SNL’s spoof. Pretty much safe for work, and unlike the next two clips, it’s worth a watch. “What’s that, baby? You’re a level 5, evil, chaotic half-orc? Ohhh, that makes me so hot.”
[Video removed from youtube]
This is a golden oldie in internet time, reworked with Machinima. Is it worth your time? Meh.
I’ve been itching to get the video at the bottom of this post online for a week now, but I keep getting sidetracked by other posts…
I guess “It’s part of a complicated, and experts warn, potentially dangerous code designed to keep parents in the dark…” was a better hook than “It’s as complicated to crack as Ubby dubby and it’s used to compensate for poor typing skills.” I swear, if they did a story like this about Ubby Dubby in the 70′s, the newscaster would’ve been laughed out of a job. This is the state of journalism, today.
This is an oldie, but it’s a few games that those jobless bastards who stood in line for a Wii won’t be getting this year.
A recent commercial from G4 that makes fun of the PC vs. Mac adds. And the Wii. And the PS3.
If you don’t watch any of the videos in this list, at least watch this one about Doug the Jedi. Even #1GF! was laughing at it despite it’s wholly geeky subject matter. If Youtube happens to be blocked where you are, try this alternate link.
Don’t ask me why, but while waiting for the Democracy player to download some Attack of the Show episodes, I found myself perusing The Ultimate Leonard Nimoy Music Site. While I will admit to owning both Shatner and Nimoy albums, I would not go so far as to encourage you to download a copy of Spaced Out – The Best of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner if you happened to come across it in Google’s cache.
I would, however, fully encourage the downloading of
Music Nerve’s In With the Out Crowd Podcast, which I ran across while trying to remember who sang “Lucille, Are You A Lesbian?” What this DJ lacks in professionalism, he makes up with a plethora of strange musical classics. Included are Lucia Pamela’s “Walking on the Moon”, Wesley Willis’s “Rock N Roll McDonalds”, T. Valentine’s “Lucille, are you a Lesbian?” (26 min in), The Fabrications’ “I’m Sorry (I neckpunched your man)”, and a number of others. If you are a fan of musical oddities, you may have heard a number of these already, but that doesn’t detract from the fun. If you’ve never heard them before, oh man, are you in for a treat.
And if that podcast was a weirdo sundae, this People’s Court video would be like the cherry on top. I can watch this video over and over because the guy just seems like he doesn’t have to put in any effort to come off like a genuine freak. Even the bailiff is laughing in the background. My favorite part? The guy’s answer to “What’s the hardest part about being you?” was simply, “Mustache.”
Yea. By the time you read this it will probably be Friday, and you’ll be aching for something to take you away from that mind-numbing job of yours. Dig in to the Youtube goodness.
I am a sucker for a good beatboxing video
Another addition to the YouTube Museum of Television. We make holes in teeth! We make holes in teeth!
Yet another addition to the YouTube Museum of Television. Don’t click unless you want this theme eating you alive for the rest of the day. You’ve been warned.
A younger version of me had this on my answering machine for a while.
A younger version of me had this as an answering machine message, as well.
(Late Addition) I included George’s phone message, and I forgot to add the original theme to that craptastic TV show, the Greatest American Hero.
I don’t think I’m hip enough to know who “Ok Go” is, but there is something about them dancing to their indy rock that seems so wrong that I can’t look away. The choreography seems like it should be backing up some R&B artist.
The title pretty much says it all.
Bonus Footage From Google Video! I can’t stop. Send help.
Mr T. Treat Your Mama Right (where did he pull that microphone from?)
Driving like an a-hole in Heavy Traffic
Weed Whacker as a foreign object (Proof that backyard wrestlers have no brains.)
Girls who fight better than boys (I didn’t want to post this, but I mentioned to some people and they were as amazed as I was. I don’t condone fighting, but I’ve been in a lot of them. These girls are brutal. It’s not slapping models tearing their tops off. These girls fight like boys, which makes it even more disturbing. Every time I went to shut it off, I just kept watching. It’s like a trying not to look when you drive by a car wreck.)
Thanks to a dinner party this weekend, I was introduced to the remakes of old G.I. Joe Public Service announcements. They used to follow the G.I. Joe cartoon and would tell us kids not to play with live wires and how to get off thin ice.
Two things I know: I have been busting a gut about Mr. Body Massage, and women do not seem to find these things funny at all. From various sources:
