Not For Air - Batman & Robin
 |
This was one of a small series of promos for the Cartoon Network that would run late at night. I’m not sure if it predates [adult swim] or even what year it aired. |
The Bastard Fairies - Guns And Dolls
 |
“I can’t sleep and I can’t eat with the contemplation of these things. My psychic warned me all about the complications that these things bring”. |
The Unpleasant World Of Penn & Teller - Ep 1
 |
Bullshit wasn’t Penn & Teller’s first television series. Back in 1994, they hosted a short series for British TV and here is the premiere episode. |
Jan Terri - Losing You
 |
“The gut-wrenching vocals shimmer through the expertly crafted music, and Jan’s on-screen presence practically chills you into the forlorn longing that must have inspired her astonishing lyrics.” Yeah, sure..whatever. |
Howard The Duck
 |
The taglines were “A new breed of hero”, “More adventure than humanly possible”, and the classic “Trapped in a world he never made”. The original comic book was actually good. |
Slim Goodbody - A Thinking Place
 |
What was this guy thinking when he came up with the idea of Slim Goodbody? Did he really think that wearing a skin tight leotard with organs on it was something kids would dig? |
Flip
 |
Spending your birthday money is probably one of the hardest decisions you have to make when you are little. When you get older, spending money just seems like a pain. |
Pain - Jabberjaw
 |
I think I remember watching a lot of Jabberjaw when I was kid, and now I can’t figure out why I would sit through that crud. It just seems so damn stupid in retrospect.. |
Do The Cosmonauty
 |
The description on YouTube is: “It’s the dance craze sweeping the universe! It’s an intergalactic super nova of fun!” I guess that is sorta accurate… |
Fresh Hare
 |
Holy crap, Elmer Fudd appears to be really fat in this cartoon! From the looks of his face alone, it seems like he is ready for an appearance on Celebrity Fit Club. |
Human Giant - Shutterbugs
 |
These guys took over MTV for 24 hours and it was hilarious. Human Giant should have a live show every week doing all the absurd and pointless antics they perform so well. |
MST3K - Manos: The Hands Of Fate
 |
“Manos, God of primal darkness. As thou has decreed so have I done. The hands of fate have doomed this man. Thy will is done.” |
Radiohead - Nobody Does It Better
 |
It seems to me that Bond theme song covers are pretty much a dime a dozen nowadays. If I had to be subjected to only one while shopping in Best Buy, it would be this one. |
Carl Sagan - Pale Blue Dot
 |
“To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.” |
It’s a Greek Life
 |
Centaurs aren’t meant to fly, but don’t try telling this one. Even if it means pissing off a Greek god in the process he’s still gonna give it a go. |
The Street Fighter
 |
Sonny Chiba’s 1974 fight fest (original title: Gekitotsu! Satsujin ken) was the very first film to get an X rating purely for the amount of violence it displayed. It certainly is over the top. |
