Grover the Waiter - Big Hamburger

You would think that at some point Mr. Johnson would have found a new place to eat. Still, that is a pretty damn big burger so I guess you get your money’s worth.



100 Years At The Movies

Chuck Workman made this great montage of movie moments for the 1994 Oscar show, and I still see it running on Turner Classic Movies from time to time. Here’s a great site that lists all the films from this video.



Captain America - The Red Skull Lives

yuck “When Captain America throws his mighty shield, all those who chose oppose his shield must yield. If he’s lead to a fight and a duel is due, then the red and white and the blue’ll come through. When Captain America throws his mighty shield.”



Michael Kohler - That Time is Now (Superfriends)

Wonder Twin powers: ACTIVATE! Gathered together from the cosmic reaches of the universe, here in this great Hall of Justice, are the most powerful forces of good ever assembled. Dedicated to truth, justice and peace for all mankind!



The Bear That Wasn’t

Why isn't this on the Cartoon Network? This guy isn’t really a man. He’s actually a bear instead, despite whatever label the industrialized world might want to slap onto him. It is vintage Chuck Jones work.



American Hardcore

rad Here’s a decent documentary about the foundation and early days of the hardcore punk scene as told by the people who were a part of that history.



Freedom Rock

Turn it up man! Hey man, remember the good old days?



The Dilly Sisters - Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay

it gets stuck in my head The Banana Splits show was always quirky and fun but this bit featuring the Dilly Sisters is just downright infectious.



Video Pizza

yummy If, for some strange reason, your were to sell or rent Video Pizza, then Wolf Choir Home Video would be quite mad at you. This video comes to you by way of WFMU, which continues to be one of my favorite sites on the web.



Ernie Kovacs - Nairobi Trio

the cigar is a nice touch Here’s a classic comedy bit from the golden age of Television. It still stands the test of time if you ask me, but then again I’m always a sucker for anything with guys in gorilla costumes.
