Graffiti Research Labs (GRL) did a clever hack and turned those crazy plasma displays at subway stations into signs that say “NYC’s TRUE GRAFFITI PROBLEM,” “ADVERTISING = GRAFFITI” and simply “GRAFFITI.”

A predictable ending doesn’t mean you stop watching a movie. This short by Evan Bernard is proof, possibly the longest handshake ever recorded on film. (thanks matt)

1 part NBC, 2 parts Pro Tools and 8 parts Nate Dog. It still has a little bit of club-banger in it, you know what I mean?

This is one of the most strange and confusing advertisements I’ve ever seen. The concept rings clear, and the analogy is a strong one, but the CGI people makes this thing extra creepy and weird (that’s in addition to the concept and the happy Katamari music).
Thanks Mr. Ehrlich.

Every once in a while, there is a man. A man who defies all classification, rejecting codifications like “California Surfer” and “Buffalo Hockey Hair.” This man is Malibu. Watch him talk about his recent recovery from a most massive injury:
I think Malibu is a poet of our times, and he may not be knowing it. Here’s the verse from his interview:
Well dude it’s like this
I saw this guy comin’
and I took the most
EXCELLENT HIT OF MY LIFE!Next thing I knew
I was on the beach
takin’ in some cosmic rays
gettin’ healed by mother nature.Takin’ a little brewski
holdin’ on to a beautiful babe
AND I’M FINE TODAY.
In case you missed the moment that inspired this magical moment in poetic history, you can see a repeat in slow motion video:

30 years ago today, people were going to the theater to see this. I can see why people were unsure of the success of Star Wars; this trailer makes it seem more like a drama than a campy space movie.

This is one of those rare moments when you think to yourself, “there must be something lost in translation, and I’m definitely sure that cobra has been de-fanged and de-venomed.”
Someone please explain this to me. I heard a rumor that the mouth is sewn shut.

Pythagoras Switch (ピタゴラスイッチ) is a children’s educational show in Japan. All of the bumpers feature crazy Rube Goldberg devices that are made from real components. When I first saw this compilation, I was convinced that the video was computer generated, but after careful validation I have convinced my senses that these are indeed miracles of mechanical engineering.

Prefuse 73 has a certain way of chopping up sounds and making them flow in a way that doesn’t sound incongruous. I remember hearing Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives and wondering what it would look like to visually represent a track. Sam Smith takes a stab with this fan video.
Just as Prefuse 73′s music is good theme music for everything, it seems to be the source of a huge number of fan videos/experimental projects. Who needs to make music videos when you’re the music for everyone’s videos?!
