Friday Videos - June 20th, 2025

posted 10 hours ago #

Friday Videos is no longer a weekly feature but I still enjoy it when I've compiled enough ridiculous things to share with you. You know how crazy it is out there, give yourself a few minutes to unwind and enjoy the absurd.
  • DRAM - Cash Machine - found myself revisiting this video recently. Still an absolute delight start to finish.
  • NES Commercial? - I could not begin to tell you if this was real or parody. Either way, I think this aesthetic is making a comeback.
  • Two Talking Tom Test - this is 13 years old so it's likely you've seen it or it's even been on this site before.. but I enjoyed the revisit. I was impressed it had an upper threshold!
  • Steve Jobs Opera - in all honesty, if I saw this in person I would be delighted. But seeing it as a 30second Internet commercial, I'm aghast there was funding for this to exist.
  • Paving - I found myself visiting more modern works from Yoshinao Satoh. I really admire how much he is able to do with constraints and repetition.
  • "Bring Me Everyone" - you know that outlandish scene in Leon: The Professional where Gary Oldman screams his line like a madman? Apparently that was just meant to be a goof!
  • The Goof - been a minute since I watched this chunk of The Ten. Great goof.
  • Can We Fool The VFX Wizard? - I'm unfamiliar with the Nounish channel but have been enjoying what I've seen. Sort of like Dropout, there's a lot of recurring contributions.
  • The 11 Body Systems - nurse Reup gives you a real education on the human body!
  • 600m Glass Water Slide - YouTube loves to serve me up first person perspective experiences of rollercoasters around the world. Watch this and maybe it'll start doing it for you too.
I've also really been enjoying this Full Comedy Actor Roundtable with Seth Rogen, Adam Brody, Jason Segel, John Mulaney, Julio Torres and Ted Danson. There are many of these from The Hollywood Reporter, so let this also be a door opening your recommendations.
