Friday Videos - Oct 18th, 2019

I'm doing my best to get into the Halloween mood. It's the 18th and I'm not quite feeling it yet but I suspect spending some time with the Disney Nightmare Mix will get me there. It usually does.

These videos aren't exactly Halloween themed but they will provide a moment for your brain to escape reality and just be stupid for a few minutes.

• HyVee Halloween - the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Each individual element here is strange but, together, it's an amazingly bizarre dichotomy.
• Thirstbusters! - this Ray Parker Jr commercial is enjoyable-y cringe but the very end contains the absolute worst surprise.
• Deedee Megadoodoo - the ultimate cringe. oof.
• Heaven Let Your Arf Shine Down - I died.
• Listermint - I didn't want to but I enjoyed it. A lot.
• Contemplative Musings - sometimes /youtubehaiku delivers the goods. This week has been a good one.
• Why this chair is on so many album covers - not a goofy, quick, distraction but a delightfully insightful bit of trivia from the folks at Vox.
• Would I Lie to You? with Bob Mortimer's "Egg in the Bath" - the UK loves a panel show. Admittedly, they're somehow more clever and entertaining than the US counterparts. This clip is a "lengthy" 6 and a half minutes but enjoyable throughout.
