National Emergency: New Yacht Rock.

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

The horrors of Jimmy Buffett are thwarted in the holy-shit-they-really-did-it new episode of Yacht Rock. It was such a goddamn surprise, there was an announcement.

Featuring Vatche Panos as a drug user! JD Ryznar and Hunter Stair live up to the Yacht Rock name. What could happen next? Is it a one shot to tease the masses, or a sign of continuance? Proper link.

Too bad about Jason Lee, especially considering his recent career choices.

Channy Awards 2007.

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

The Channel101 Incredibly Prestigious Achievement Awards happened. They’re pretty good picks. I missed a couple things and it’s awesome to have them dropped in my lap.

If you don’t know what Channel101 is (or Yacht Rock or Classroom), or didn’t know what the Channies are, Channel101 is a democratic faux television station model of video production that is screened in Los Angeles monthly and the Channies are its incredibly prestigious awards.

Yeah, that’s a serious Tim and Eric explanation of Channel101. Seriously. Channel101 was created by the authors of my favorite comic book ever.

Pattern Recognition: Absurdist Foreign Superheroes

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Supplemental: To go along with yesterday’s crying about how good adult swim was this week, I wanted to mention another two videos that are retarded for different reasons and involve prototypical, non-Japanese, foreign superhero images.

I have explained these in a video here, while mostly saying “retarded” instead of “absurdist” to piss off the establishment.

First, the newer of the two, Return to Supermans (from channel101):

And what is described as a trailer from the 60s, Italian Spiderman:

Now I know these things are old news, but I just can’t shake the feeling that they’re too related. After further review they’re not nearly as similar as I thought, but just retarded. Hilarious, but retarded.

Also, painful, vcr-edited, clip-sound low-fi is hot shit right now.
