The celebrity-filled orientation film Matt Stone and Trey Parker (the South Park guys) made for Universal Studios.
Very modren. Makes me want to grab a Seagram’s® wine cooler, or perhaps a ceramic deer. It’s UCS for me!
I started a thread on this one a few weeks ago- Rabbit, a freaky-yet-hilarious short film made up of cutouts from children’s books. A tale of greed as told by two children and the jam-loving idol they find in a rabbit carcass.
Truthfully, and somewhat embarassingly, my current favorite, which I’m actually having to resist watching over and over, is a clip from the upcoming live-action “Year Without A Santa Claus” with Michael McKean and Harvey Fierstein as Snow Miser and Heat Miser, respectively.
Walking (okay, running) on water (with a little help from cornstarch):
I’m glad companies such as NBC are using YouTube as a way to promote their wares and provide a legal source for entertaining copyrighted clips, but seriously, who was the drunkard at Time Warner who greenlighted this thing? And I thought Arnold Schwarzenegger singing the Snow Miser song in Batman and Robin was bizarre. Not as bizarre as Harvey Fierstein’s singing, apparently. (more like Harvey Firestein! Get it? Ah, never mind.)
Being a Gerry Anderson/Supermarionation fan from back in the day, I vote for:
This one.
This one predates YouTube (I saw it originally on America’s Funniest Home Videos) but it kills me every time.
A bit of a tangent, but I just added Help Find James Kim to my favorites. An entire family of four has gone missing.
Rolling Rock beer (now an Anheuser-Busch product) has a viral marketing campaign involving an advertisement that was supposedly pulled from the airwaves because it offended too many TV viewers, including a TV spot in which a fictional executive apologizes for the ad. There is even a fake website set up by Rolling Rock stating that the executive should be fired for allowing such an offensive commercial to be put on the air. The ad turns out to be a spot-on parody of Spuds McKenzie and other such party-animal characters. The funkiest character never to appear on television…Beer Ape!
I did not know that…
Do they still make it in Latrobe, or did A-B only buy the name?
You just can’t not laugh at this:
Oh, god…the little girl’s “conducting” is too cute for words!
It’s not made in Latrobe anymore, much to the people’s disappointment there. The fine print on the commercial says “©2006 Latrobe Brewing Co. Rolling Rock, St. Louis, MO”
Well, at least we still have Yuengling…
This will always be a favorite The Old Negro Space Program
Oh my god. The look on that wonman’s face at the end is hilarious!
OMG, shoes! (slightly raunchy at the end.)
