Friday Videos - April 4th, 2009

For some reason I encountered a variety of weird commercials this week but none of them top the greatness of Manatee Squash - I am forever indebted to Davis for that.

As usual, watch them in the player above, here or individually below.

• Russian Ads from 80's - three commercials that are unsurprisingly weird and alarmingly long. The suit sales is my favorite of the bunch. Via Justin.
• David Lynch's "A Goofy Movie" - this is dead on. If David Lynch re-editing the Goofy movie I have no doubt in my mind that it would turn out just like this.
• URO Club - Seriously? I hope this idea takes off and mutates into other forms. Via Casey or Chad, I'm not sure which.
• Dent May - "Howard" - not a funny video per se (kitschy, yes) but a quality song from an artist that continues to grow on me each time I listen to his work.
• Japanese Banana Commercial - no matter what evidence you may think you have otherwise, Japan wins, hands-down, for most nonsensical commercials.
• Manatee Squash - yes x1000.
