S3:E34 – Hank Williams Jr. “Are You Ready for Some Football” Music Video

Deep under the Pentagon, there is a door. An armed guard stands at this door, ever watchful. Should you present the proper credentials, you will be allowed beyond. Inside is a brightly lit and sterile elevator. Should you take that elevator down as far as it goes you may find yourself in a large, open… Read more S3:E34 – Hank Williams Jr. “Are You Ready for Some Football” Music Video...

S3:E33 – Don’t Put It In Your Mouth

Listen kids don’t put that salad in your mouth. It’s…not healthy OK. Nothing here is healthy. You can’t eat anything at this restaurant, or at least you shouldn’t. We watched this weird Canadian PSA about not putting things in your mouth. You should watch it too and learn its secrets. John Hurst hosts and becomes… Read more S3:E33 – Don’t Put It In Your Mouth

S3:E32 – Evanescence “Bring Me to Life” Music Video

There are some search terms that you just know will form a powerful intersection of energies; a load-bearing support of the deep human psyche. Before you even finish typing the phrase, you can begin to feel the weight of the results. Past that electronic Rubicon, you know there is an inescapable puissance of madness. Perhaps… Read more S3:E32 – Evanescence “Bring Me to Life” Music Video

S3:E31 – Lil Nas X “Panini” Music Video

Hey, d’ya ever wonder what the future is gonna be like? Do you think there’s gonna be like…robots? What about swimming pools? Will the robots swim in the swimming pools? What about sandwiches?

S3:E30 – Legally Blonde Movie Trailer

Listen, Harvard’s easy to get into OK? You just…throw on your smoking jacket, barge down a brandy and take a big rip of your CBD vape while submitting your taped application.

S3:E29 – Ronald McDonald Make it Click PSA

In the beginning Ronald set “Let there be fries” and there were fries and Ronald saw they were good. Then came the dark days and there was much chaos.

S3:E28 – Mission Impossible 2 Movie Trailer

The seat feels worn. You’re sitting in a seat? You’re sitting in a seat. A movie theater seat. When did you go to the movies? There’s a cup in the armrest, it’s lukewarm soda and ice melt. You take a sip anyway. Did you fall asleep? Muscles ache to move and you long to stretch,… Read more S3:E28 – Mission Impossible 2 Movie Trailer

S3:E27 – HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA

In some far distant era, when the year 2019 sounds like the year 219 to our modern ears, little of what made us will remain. Our physical bodies will have dissolved away, very little will prove that we ever existed at all. Some art though, will live on. Some of it will be great, while… Read more S3:E27 – HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA

S3:E26 – Konami PSX Era Logo

To Steven, the person whom I lent Final Fantasy VII to in middle school and never returned it: No, seriously, what happened to that copy of Final Fantasy VII, Steven? I’m not even mad anymore about it! You said you broke Disc 1 and threw away the entire game. We all know that’s a lie!… Read more S3:E26 – Konami PSX Era Logo

S3:E25 – 沖縄食糧の天気予報

Man, I have no idea what’s happening here. I watched this a bunch and I just…don’t get it. Is that rice? Coconuts? Why is it hairy? What. Is. This. John. Seriously.

S3:E24 – Ric Flair Fireworks Commercial

We’re back to the well with more local Ric Flair commercials! This week, we watched something out of Kansas where Ric hocks some fireworks and seems supremely disinterested. Like, REALLY disinterested. Like, mostly he’s thinking about eating ham sandwiches kind of disinterested. Here’s the commercial. It’s…not worth watching. Aaron Littleton hosts and wins another award.… Read more S3:E24 – Ric Flair Fireworks Commercial...

S3:E23 – Sting and RoboCop Wrestling Promo

The year was 1990 and the decade had just rolled over, kayfabe was still alive and somehow, SOMEHOW people bought the idea of Sting teaming up with Sting in a tag team wrestling match against Ric Flair.

S3:E22 – Volkswagen Golf GTi Casino Commercial

What can make you smile? A million dollars? A kitten? Perhaps even…gold? Well, for one man in 1980s Europe (and let’s not get too more specific on just exactly where in Europe) there was one and only one answer for that: a Volkswagen hatchback. Some people, huh? This week, we watched a classic Volkswagen Golf… Read more S3:E22 – Volkswagen Golf GTi Casino Commercial

S3:E21 – Orkin “Always Workin'” Commercial

If your house bugs and a spare room, it may be time to call Orkin. Yes, for just the price of room and board for a stranger for the rest of their (or your) life you too can maybe be free of insects for a little while. It’s…great?

S3:E20 – Action Park Commercial

Are regular theme parks not enough any more?

S3:E18 – SeaQuest DSV TV Opening

The Sonic wars almost escalated into a third week. Thankfully, a deal was reached and the armistice was signed between the two hosts. The mutual ground to sign such a treaty?

S3:E16 – Sonic the Hedgehog Movie Trailer

Sure, you’ve watched the trailer yourself. Sure, you’ve watched about a dozen YouTube reactions to the trailer. Sure, you’ve read about a hundred mid-brow thinkpieces about how the YouTube reaction videos to the trailer are contributing to a culture of hedgehog fastness disparity, or like, something. Well now you’re going to listen to US watch… Read more S3:E16 – Sonic the Hedgehog Movie Trailer

S3:E14 – Legends of the Hidden Temple: Mask of Shaka Zulu Temple Run

Somewhere deep in what looks like a strip mall in Orlando, there is a hallway. It is primarily beige, an unremarkable place with flecked vinyl tiles on the floor.

If you ask one of the… Read more S3:E14 – Legends of the Hidden Temple: Mask of Shaka Zulu Temple Run

S3:E11 – Badgers Flash Cartoon

In the early days of the web, well, the mid-early days, er, maybe the silver age? Screw it, let’s call it the proto-Attitude era of the web, this was a cartoon that was on it.

S3:E10 – Final Fantasy X-2 Opening

What do you do after you save the world? Do you fade to the background and let people live their lives? Retreat to the woods and become a wise hermit?

S3:E9 – Krispy Kreme Donut Conveyor Belt

In the hierarchy of chain doughnut places, Krispy Kreme has settled to the bottom, if not in quality, then at least the bottom of the country.

S3:E8 – Wendy’s Training Video for Hot Drinks

Listen, when you’re Wendy’s, sometimes you gotta teach people how to make coffee. That’s just how it is. These are the kinds of people this video is for.

S3:E6 – Pontiac Aztek Commercial

The Pontiac Aztek has a reputation for being a bad and ugly car, even if in recent years internet car journalists have started to rethink that. Maybe, they argue it was just an ugly car.

S3:E5 – Genesis “I Can’t Dance” Music Video

The archangel Peter Gabriel may have left with his Sledgehammer, but Phil Collins still watches over us all. He helps those who cannot dance and those who cannot walk.
