The Simpson Couch Gag By Bill Plympton


(YouTube Link)

 In case you missed the latest episode of The Simpsons, here is the only part of the show that really mattered-a strange yet rather touching couch gag by the king of sketchy animated sequences Billy Plympton!

Watch as a bizarro version of Homer struggles with his feelings for both the couch and Marge, with frenetic lines dancing across the screen and an overall style that can only be described as Plymptonian.

British Company Offers Chance To Experience A Zombie Infested Mall Scenario


(YouTube Link)

British company Wish.co.uk wants to make your zombie apocalypse dreams come true, without all that pesky death, infection and head splattering gore.

They previously offered a survival boot camp, which taught basic Z-day combat and survival skills, but now they've stepped up their game with a full blown two and a half hour zombie invasion that takes place inside an abandoned shopping mall.

It's kind of like interactive theater, only the audience members carry guns and the actors are hungry for brains. It looks like a blast, but I'd have a hard time going through the scenario without trying to organize the zombies into a Thriller style dance party!

Nate Dogg Couldn't Make It To Coachella, So They Got Tupac Instead


(YouTube Link)

You may remember the article I posted recently about Nate Dogg making a ghostly appearance on stage alongside his old chums Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre at the Coachella Music Festival.

Well, it appears that they pulled a fast one on us all, and had a hologram of Tupac come out in Nate Dogg's place! Way to pull a fast one on us all Death Row Records crew!

The Babycakes Pie Pop Maker



My name is Zeon Santos, and I am a snackaholic. Which is why I am so excited about the Babycakes pie pop maker!

The ingenious design lets you cook the pie pop top without baking the stick, and you can make a variety of flavors and crusts as each pop bakes in an individual non-stick pocket.

And to top it all off the pie pops only take about 4 minutes to cook, so you won't have to wait long to be chomping down on some mini pie goodness!

Amazing Cardboard Sculptures By Chris Gilmour



Sculptor Chris Gilmour creates cardboard masterpieces which are really quite amazing to look at, both because of the fine detail work he puts into each piece and the fact that they retain a sort of cardboard look and color despite all the work that has gone into each piece.

I feel that sculptures which are made out of an unmalleable substance like cardboard are quite neat, and represent an ambitious goal for an artist to pursue.

Perhaps it's the fact that cardboard isn't normally thought of as an artistic medium, or perhaps it's because we throw away or recycle it without a second thought, yet most works are thought of as having a degree of inherent permanence due to our tendency to glorify the act of artistic creation.

And the fun part about Chris' works is that he often leaves bits of labels and stickers on his sculptures, which gives them a feeling of mundanity and reminds the viewer where they came from despite the spectacular end result. Just don't expose these beautiful works of art to an exposed flame or they'll burn away like a pile of kindling!

Fully Functional Nintendo Controller Coffee Table



While it may not be all crazy huge like the largest working NES controller (link), this fully functional wooden coffee table version is still super cool, and it encourages you to use the buddy system when you bust out on a night of old school gaming.

The warmth of the woods (walnut, mahogany and maple) adds a bit of swank to any pad, flat or luxury condo, even if  the rest of your furniture came from Ikea. And the cord is even retractable, so don't trip!

SpongeBob Ruined By Showbiz Street Art



It was very clever of Italian street artist Pao to paint on an electrical box to make it look like an out of work SpongeBob SquarePants, complete with beggar's sign and collection hat.

But could SpongeBob possibly end up penniless and living on skid row? Not if he keeps serving up those delicious Krabby Patties at the Krusty Krab!

Voice Actors Take Center Stage In New Documentary


(YouTube Link)

 I Know That Voice is not only the name of this documentary, which focuses on some of the most popular voice actors working today, it's also what you'll be saying the entire time you watch the trailer!

Finally, those who give our favorite animated characters a voice will get their day in the sun, and you can see that the old adage "a face for radio" doesn't necessarily apply to the fine folks who work as voice actors.

My Apartment's Very Clean Without You


(YouTube Link)

This adorable animated music video for the Garfunkel and Oates song My Apartment's Very Clean Without You is brought to you by animator Deanna Rooney, who knows that the secret to success on the interwebs = lots and lots of kittehs!

My Apartment... is silly yet sentimental, and touched me in all of the appropriate places. Garfunkel and Oates play the songs that make my heart want to dance, if only my apartment wasn't so darn cluttered!

The Chef From Burger Time Gets A New Job


(YouTube Link)

The latest pixel animation video from Dorkly answers the age old question-What if the Burger Time chef had to get a new job, at a restaurant that doesn't even make hamburgers?

The answer is, of course, rather ridiculous, but I guarantee it will make you want to play some Burger Time! Ow, I got pepper in my eye!

The Frasier Theme Song Mystery Explained



Have you ever sat down to watch an episode of the sitcom Frasier and found yourself wondering "Gee, I wonder what the heck they mean by tossed salad and scrambled eggs in the theme song?"

Well, wonder no longer because the mystery has been solved! Apparently when the composer Bruce Miller sat down to write the song, he couldn't find a nice way to describe the nutjobs that call in to Frasier's show, so he vented his frustration to a friend who quickly came up with "tossed salad and scrambled eggs, because they're all mixed up!"

And the award for pure brilliance in sitcom theme song writing goes to....that guy!

Bird Attacking Owl GIF Is Curiously Mesmerizing



An owl is sitting on a branch watching some jerk shoot video footage of him like some sort of wildlife TMZ reporter when BAM! Say hello to my little friend!

And the owl doesn't seem care about being dive bombed by the little bird, because he's too busy making sure the paparazzi shoot his good side.

Later, the little bird tried the same thing with a hawk, and the results were dire to say the least. I guess not everyone appreciates physical comedy!

X-Files:The Musical Will Make You Want To Believe


(YouTube Link)

This impressive act of musical nerdery is brought to you in eleven parts by CMustardTheatre, the same fine folks that brought you Jurassic Park: The Musical a few years back.

Watch as Scully and Mulder seek the truth about unexplained phenomenon while trading witty barbs in a way that makes you say "that is soooooo Mulder and Scully!". Oh yeah, and there's lots of singing too...

Kermit The Frog Visits Yankee Stadium



Kermit the Frog took in a ball game at Yankee Stadium recently, and had a great time despite being seated next to Mayor Bloomberg, who was clearly unamused by the presence of the fleece superstar.

Kermit was also unfazed by the lady who spent the day on the stairs next to him wondering why some guy had his hand stuck up Kermit's butt, unaware of just how tight security has become for the Muppets. Fame has its price, boys and girls.

Live Action Mega Man X Vs. Protoman Fan Film


(YouTube Link)

This slick looking Megan Man X fan film was brought to life by Olan Rogers, who spent a mere $700 on the entire production. The costumes alone look like they cost more than seven hundred bucks, and yet the average budget of B-movies like Sharktopus is well over a million dollars.

Take note, budding filmmakers-it's not the size of your budget that counts, it's how you use it.
