Two videos this week, one that's pretty and one that made me laugh. First: Mario Cat! What does Mario's cat do when he's away? Have a look. Link! And second, here is some time lapse of Norway because it's kind of unreal how beautiful it is: Link! I hope your weekend is beautiful with just the right amount of leveling up and laughing.
A long time ago, in college, I took a course on the History of the English Language. Of all the over priced textbooks I bought, that and my Riverside Shakespeare were the ones I still have, four moves and many states later. The history of language in general (I also read a biography of Yiddish, which was also really fascinating) is pretty amazing, and English is a weird language, too. It has among the largest … Continue reading Friday Videos Love the History of English
Via my personal Facebook feed, which is usually full of people playing Candy Crush and posting ridiculously adorable pictures of their ridiculously adorable children (or posting some screed that ends with “most of you won't share this,” passive aggression, because, yes, sharing something on Facebook makes a sizable difference in improving whatever it is you're ranting about except not at all) (not that I'm bitter), comes this video that took all my bitter crankiness away … Continue reading Friday Videos Like Animation
This week's Friday video comes from James L. Prepare ye for Epic Earworm! Link! I hope your weekend is fully of Balloony Tunes!
From Gry, our Norwegian Friday Videos Correspondent, comes two videos that turn paper into educational beauty: Revolution ( Life Cycle of a Drop of Water). from Chris Turner on Vimeo. Link! I hope the paper things you encounter this weekend are interesting, maybe educational, and certainly fun.
I heard this on the radio while driving home and stayed in my car to hear the rest of the song. I was hooked from the part about how she hates the way her bikini top chafes. This is Girl in a Country Song by Maddie and Tae: Link! I love how many subtle (and not subtle) musical callbacks to other songs are hidden in the melody and the lyrics. I hope your weekend is full … Continue reading Friday Videos Like Maddie and Tae
Via Tumblr comes this video that made me laugh so freaking hard. The filmmaker, Julieta Colas, has this to say about it: This is my classical animation film. It’s about a guy who has to get out of the shower multiple times to answer the phone. Basically, I said “if I’m going to have to draw the same thing every day for the next 4 months, I might as well make it something I want … Continue reading Friday Videos Promise Not to Call You
I read somewhere on the internet (so it MUST be TRUE) that cats vocalize at humans, and not so much at each other. But this video seems to be proving that wrong: Link! I kind of want subtitles. Like one cat is probably saying, “Look, you know about that You Tube thing? That's where we'll end up. Famous and going on tour after that. Weekday keggers when The Lady isn't home are so over for … Continue reading Friday Videos Like Talking Cats
Penis Museum! From Gry, our Norwegian Friday Videos Correspondent, comes this trailer for a documentary. Or, dic-umentary. Featuring all the best of America. Or, one American, anyway. Link! I hope your weekend is unforgettable. And if you want to watch this documentary to make it more unforgettable, you can stream it online. Enjoy!
Via KatiD comes this video, which seems to be going viral this week: Link! I was wheeze-laughing by the end. I hope your weekend is vagical! Or magical – your choice.
I can't describe the depth of my desire for these pants. Oh my gosh. I laughed so hard at this video: Link! I hope your weekend makes you want to dance, gold pants optional. (Though if you have some, send 'em my way, k?)
