Do you have big weekend plans? You should. Do something nice for yourself. You deserve it. Start it off right now by halting any amount of work you're invested in and just watching some dumb videos. Then go home for the day. You earned it.

• Robin Williams Tribute - not to be a bummer but the loss of Robin Williams is a very sad occurrence. This is a touching tribute but go watch Hook this weekend for the full Williams goodness treatment.
• Corn Dad (Official Video) - a father explains what portions of corn look like on a plate. I repeat, a father explains what portions of corn look like on a plate.
• Basement Jaxx - Never Say Never (Official Video) - twerking technology can save a relationship.
• First-person Hyperlapse Videos - kind of amazing new tech from Microsoft that shows how they're able to "smooth" out timelapse videos into a new, easier to watch, format called Hyperlapse. The examples are great! Hopefully this makes it out into the real world in some usable fashion.
• Meow Mix Song EDM Remix - you wouldn't think a popular brand of cat food would be on such a relatively hip tip but this is EDM at its finest (jokes of course).
• The Ship - a public domain music video from two of the guys that used to be in Doves. It's a great usage of this kind of footage - better than most actually - and a damn fine song.
• White Men Can't Dance - if we're being honest, I couldn't make it through this whole video but I did enjoy the pink Delorean, because how often do you see that?
• Paolo Nutini 'Iron Sky' - I posted about this recently but you really need to watch this video. At least twice.
• The Amazing Spider-Man - Music from the CBS TV Series 1978/79 - did you know the soundtrack from the 70's Spider-Man theme was funky stuff? Get into it!

Have a great weekend. Seriously.

I had some massive meetings this week and, thus, less time to browse and enjoy videos. Despite that, there is much goodness to be seen here:

• Push For Pizza, The Easiest Way To Order Pizza Ever. - in case you missed this ridiculous new app, catch up now.
• David's Pizza Commercial - an Internet classic when it comes to commercials.
• "Apparently" This Kid is Awesome, Steals the Show During Interview
• My drunk neighbor gets the hose - part of me is saddened by this interaction and another, larger, part of me is amused by this man's complete lack of reaction.
• M O U N T A I N - a wonderful tribute to David O'Reilly's Mountain.
• Spoon - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) - I mentioned this in full earlier this week but I can't recommend watching this as many times as your brain will let you.
• Bishop Allen - "Why I Had To Go" - a very pleasant new piece of work from Bishop Allen that just so happens to cameo VHX's own Alexandra Marvar.

If this list disappoints you, just cruise on over to That's A Good Ass Dog tumblr and enjoy the remainder of your weekend!

We've got a big party tonight at VHX and I think there's been something in the air all week because the videos have been flowing. Enjoy this entertainment.

• Kitten vs Ceramic Cat - future best friends or mortal enemies?
• Self Performs "Runaway" - great to see Self finally making their national television debut. It's only taken roughly 20 years, but they DID it. Also be sure to watch them perform Lucid Anne.
• Japanese Anti Piracy Ad 1 - this is so much fun and childish for such a serious thing they are attempting to fight.
• Captain Baby - Olive In the Ocean (Official Video) - love a simple video for a solid song with such good execution.
• sausage groove - put on repeat. forever.
• Horde - the style of this is mind boggling rad. Love the 3D realistic stuff mixed with the more stylized cartoonish. Really great. via Erica.
• How To Have Cybersex On The Internet - I'm mostly amazed at the interface here. REAL TIME / NET .CON
• Paranormal Pugtivity - stupid but worth a watch.
• Atlanta! Part 5 - I'm planning a trip to Atlanta in September and now I have all the inspiration I'll ever need.
• The Worst Hacking Scenes in Movies - meant to post this last week, a helluva compilation. via Patrick.
• 10 Minutes Of Heavy Breathing Cat - I watched the entire 10 minutes of this and was absolutely crying with laughter.

Have a great weekend!

This week may seem a little heavy on the music videos but I promise they offer some serious entertainment. Enjoy the videos and, moreso, enjoy the weekend.

• sElf - Runaway - nothing like going quiet for 14 years and then coming back with a new EP, a cat filled music video and a national television debut.
• Wiggle Pole Dance Clarinet - words fail to encapsulate the enjoyment presented here.
• you could stop at five or six stores - I assume this is meant as a cautionary tale for anyone considering having a go of it in Hollywood.
• Old Man Dance Explosion - yes, it's an old man dancing wildly at a party. yes, your aunt would love it. yes, there's nothing wrong with that.
• Kids Cursing In Movies Mashup - obviously NSFW but a helluva compilation.
• Spoon - "Do You" - it's a slow churn but it's an unbelievably good video. Reminiscent of the heyday of MTV's best.
• Tammy and the T-Rex Phone Scene - this is the clip that the above GIF was taken from. Not quite as funny in context but I do love a dinosaur arm.
• Mount Sharp - "Icarus" official video - just a healthy reminder that you should be enjoying this video, telling your friends and pre-ordering the vinyl.
• Brian May - Star Fleet - FACT: anyone that was in Queen loves a floating head effect. FACT: the movie this is tied too looks awesome. FACT: the majority of this song is a guitar solo and that's completely fine by me.

If you still need a little something more, hit up the Summer Mix Series, enjoy some music, get inspired, and make a mix this weekend! Thanks.

The term for this weeks playlist is "Grab Bag." I mean, it's probably that term for every week as well but this week feels particularly all over the place. Enjoy!

• How to Host Your Own Kickstarter Film Fest - Kickstarter is having their 2014 Film Festival and they're opening it up to stream from your own home. Super awesome idea and you'll never guess who is powering the stream.
• Super Mario Head Smash - how I have not seen this classic piece of Youtube history before this week is well beyond me.
• Watch This Supercut Of Every Time Harrison Ford Says 'Harrison Ford' In 'The Fugitive' - it's stupid but you know it's stupid and that makes it all the more enjoyable. That sentence also describes the rest of the content on The Onion's Clickhole.
• Shiny Ponyta after 25968 encounters!!! - did you know there's a Gameboy Pokemon game where you can encounter a very rare Pokemon named "Shiny Ponyta"? Yea, me neither. But when this guy stumbles across it after looking for a very long time he freaks out. FREAKS OUT. It's an amazing bit of joy. After the freakout you can stop watching but you really have to hear him lose his mind.
• The Animals: Fan Remake Of The Spiderman Kiss - this is nabbed off Instagram but it's a fun little remake.
• Turkish Ice Cream Man - It's called Good Clean Fun. Get into it!
• Harmonizing Guitar with Desperate Politician - apparently the man in the corner is a politician that was exposed for extorting a lot of money. He is, rightfully, very ashamed and freaking out about it. Fortunately, someone was kind enough to add a killer guitar track to it.
• Raccoons Going Crazy for Doritos - I can not begin to describe how much I love every single last second of this video. Many thanks to Jed for bringing it into my life. Total PEVZ for me.

Have a great weekend!

First week back from vacation is always a bit more intense than just a regular week. So, with that in mind, watch these twice. You need your rest.

• Verschleif 4k - even with zero explanation, this is an entrancing exercise in reduction. Then when you realize it's the best usage of an edge sander in an artistic environment, well, you're sold.
• Backflipping beach guy - this seems fake. is this fake? can this be real?
• Fox go FLOOF - The title is a fair representation of the bonkers nature of the owner of this domesticated fox but I just love seeing this little guy run around!
• Pallas cat - I think I can say that this is easily my favorite video of 2014. Maybe I'll eat those words but a Pallas Cat investigating a camera with the stealth you would expect from a giant housecat is absolutely perfect. The GIF is pretty great too.
• The Best Cover to Beatles - Come Together! - this is weird and then it gets weirder and then it maintains its weirdness. Throughout the song is strange but not unenjoyable.
• Pallet Riding - not sure if this can be embedded but this guy riding a Pallet on the rails is pretty solid.
• CMT's Coffee Corner - timelapse of Rachel Briggs drawing a huge wall mural at the CMT offices. Incredibly impressive.

If you find yourself lacking some vulgarity from this weeks playlist, dive into Peter K. Rosenthal's review of 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' - hilarious in its aggression.

Have a great weekend!

I'm off to Tennessee for a week. Blogging may be sparse to completely absent. It's been six months since I've been back and I am in dire need of soaking up some quality time with friends and family. If you're looking to hang out - hit me up. If you're looking for blog content to distract you - hold tight, I'll be back soon enough.

• Perturbator - "She Is Young, She Is Beautiful ... " - still really hate the name of this band but the 8-bit hard sci-fi story here is just about enough to forgive them.
• Wally Jurassic Park - if the new Jurassic Park sequel can get anywhere close to this awesome, it wins. But let's be honest, almost nothing is better than this!
• KILL BILL (Vol 1 and 2) - 8 Bit Cinema - been kind of on a hardcore 8-bit nostalgia trip recently. Seeing videogames based on movies like this makes me yearn for a few days locked in a room playing an incredibly frustrating adaptation.
• Excuse me... - wait for it.
• I Dare You To Watch This Entire Video - pretty amazing College Humor piece that really takes you to task to test your every shortening attention span. I made it the full video because I'll be damned if some Internet video is gonna make a chump outta me!
• What a dance by a chubby Korean baby! - and here's a refresher for you from that grueling 3 minutes you just spent watching the above video proving that you're still in control.
• Fleetwoods Mr Blue Midnight Special - these guys are new to me and I'm enjoying their intensely melancholy tunes. Maybe not the most upbeat way to go out for a week but it's surprisingly pleasant.

Have a great weekend. And if I don't see ya - have a great week.

A little something for everyone this week. Seriously, everyone. Enjoy!

• OK Go - The Writing's On the Wall - the song really doesn't do much for me but they really pulled something special off with this video. Solid!
• Alex Trebek Laughs at Contestant - this is totally dickish but maybe also how every episode should be.
• Eating a Donut like a Lady - take note, this is THE proper way to eat a donut like a lady.
• Dance Moves - because it's been awhile since you watched a very awkward instructional dance video.
• Musicless Musicvideo / David Bowie & Mick Jagger - Dancing In The Street - streaming tears of joy while watching this. absolutely losing it with enjoyment.
• 100 Ways to Attack the Groin - because I am a child.
• This Is Phil Fish - definitely falls outside the "kooky" realm of videos and probably will be skipped by most but it's an interesting mini-documentary to watch this weekend on the "controversial" Phil Fish. Thanks Erica!

Have a great weekend!

Friday the 13th! Mercury in retrograde! A full moon! Werewolves everywhere! That's the general idea at least. People do tend to get crazy on nights like this so be safe and just stay in and watch this playlist on repeat.

• Country Dance Off - Every Friday the 13th (and only Friday the 13th) Nashville musician D. Striker emerges from the shadows and plays a show, releases a zine and generally has a great time. Watch his silly video for Country Dance Off.
• Super Mario Busters - I was rather skeptical of the effectiveness of this mashup but I'll be damned if it doesn't work quite well.
• Data Trails: Jer Thorp - absolutely beautiful animation by Erica Gorociao. The content is a little scary (tracking via data shares) but I love how it looks.
• New York Times - Modern Love - keep the theme of gorgeous animations, this NYT piece transfixes me. I could watch transitions like this for hours. And that color palette! Don't get me started.
• EVEN NOW...THE EVIL SEED OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE GERMINATES WITHIN YOU - nuff said.
• BIRDMAN - Official Teaser - kind of really looking forward to this Michael Keaton beast of a movie. Could be super good.
• Spoon - Rent I Pay - it's a simple concept but this Spoon fixed is great. Really happy they are back with a new album later this summer.
• Pug Watching Television - and now you can watch the pug watch the television. The Internet provides all.

Have a great weekend!

Another week, another playlist! Let's see what kind of distraction and humor I can drum up for you.

• Greatest Home Run Call - is this real? Maybe not. Do I choose to believe? You better believe it.
• Eff Ate - a fun little Zuckerberg edit from psql. I'm not as bitter about Facebook as many others seem to be but it's still funny.
• Butter Ya'Self - if you told me that you had a gangsta rap video featuring a banana and a hot dog, I'd be intrigued but skeptical. Fortunately, it pays off.
• Halt and Catch Fire Main Titles - haven't seen the show yet but, holy moly, these titles are rad!
• Heavy Metal Video Game Tribute - at 17 minutes, this is a serious endurance challenge but I proudly (or sadly) proclaim that I made it through.
• John Oliver vs Net Neutrality - another lengthy video but another proper pay off, particularly the plead to the Trolls. And it seems to have worked as well, as the FCC's site was broken for a few days.
• Kitten Jam - Turn Down For What - think of a cat video and boil it down to its simplest elements. This is that form but still maintaining its entertainability.
• Luigi Ridin' Dirty - Mario Kart 8 Death Stare from Luigi really took off this week and I'm enjoying it. See lots more.

Are there more awesome videos that you really must see? Yes. But I can only cover so much ground.

I can not believe it's almost June. Inconceivable. Don't ever let anyone tell you that as you get older the days go by slower. Patently untrue! Enjoy this week's playlist - this is the only spot you can see it!

• Two Dots - if you've not played Two Dots yet, get to it! The gameplay and music are phenomenal.
• Tipper Whore Party Program - this is basically what tonight will be like at The Stone Fox. If you're in the Nashville area, go see it.
• 92 Dreamin - combine 80's aesthetic with Tony Hawk style skateboard interactions. Done.
• Google Test Drive - taking the Self-Driving Car out for a spin. I guess I get why they made it look like a kids playtoy but it really doesn't fill me with a sense of safety when I look at this thing.
• JohnnyExpress - awesome animated short featuring a lot of accidental mayhem.
• Cutest Cosplay of All Time - if I ever have children, I hope to dress them like this 24 hours a day.
• Edgar Wright - How to Do Visual Comedy - incredibly compelling case study on exactly what it is that makes Edgar Wright's filmmaking style so superior to your regular run of the mill comedy; it's in the edit.

Have a great weekend!

Trying something a little different this week. No permalink on the playlist - you wanna watch it, just click that gif and watch it here! Not that crazy but different enough for me to make note of.

Enjoy this playlist.. there's plenty of amusing content out there for you to enjoy, but I selected these in particular:

• Hey Cat. Hey - let's start simple. Just a cat saying Hey.
• The Spielberg Oner - kind of hate the term "oner" but this look at Spieldberg's use of long, continuous shots is nice. You don't think of him as using such a technique but that's just evidence of how good he is at it.
• BUTTS - sometimes it's easy to cheer up a friend. Love the moon at the end.
• "Her" Parody with Steve Brule - yes, these parody videos are highly overdone but the Steve Brule chortle gets me every time. I can't help it.
• John Lewis 150th Anniversary - a very Wes Anderson-y commercial featuring Gaz Coombes singing a classic Kinks song. Hard not to like.
• Broad City: Do The Right Thing - if you haven't watched the web series version of Broad City, you're missing out. This takes a good 3 minutes to really kick in but the reward is worth it. Stick with it.

Have a great weekend!

Lots to do today so I'll keep this short but, please, enjoy these offerings and do not miss the bonus at the bottom.. can't embed it for some reason.

• Every Lonely Sandwich Video at Once - who doesn't love Sandwich Video? Who wouldn't want all the Adam Lisagor's at once? No one, that's who.
• The Many Moods of Chewbacca - sometimes you just can't help but love some Chewbacca growls.
• The Double trailer - I've talked about my anticipation for this film before but I finally got to see it last night and am endorsing everyone see it if they get the chance. Richard Ayoade does a great job with his second film and Avi Korine (Harmony's brother) helped to write the script. Lots of talent all around.
• Artsy Fartsy - nailed it.
• Junior - Mama Used To Say - 3:35 of the best music video you've ever seen.

Also be sure to watch Start Puffing Boy - a drugged out, bizarre cut of King of the Hill where Bobby tries smoking. It's a phenomenal, absurd, somewhat insane and creepy piece of work. The Internet needs more stuff like this.

Have a great weekend!

Glad the weekend is upon us. These work weeks are rather intense these days, huh? Amirite? Just kidding, work is great. Can't wait to show off some big new things. In the meantime, enjoy this playlist, as usual.

• Cat Headshot - the feline depicted in this is, obviously, quite fine but I can't even comprehend how they managed to catch this and who decided it was a great idea to put it into the show. Ridiculous.
• Mercury Mistress - this is an old SNL commercial that I managed to miss up until now. Obviously it's old news but I love Chris Parnell.
• Webdriver Torso - I'm sorry. I've no idea what this channel is. Absolutely none. It's baffling but I'm mesmerized by its mystery. via John.
• Tiny Hamster Eating a Tiny Pizza - the series continues. I approve.
• The Faint - Evil Voices - I wasn't sold on the new stuff I was hearing from The Faint until I ran across this. This is the Faint style I like best.
• Shocking Family Feud Fast Money - heads up, this is not funny. You keep waiting for the funny but it never comes. Only sadness. Not that you feel genuine sadness for a family on a gameshow but, man, what a heartbreaking turn of events.
• TMBG - Am I Awake fan video - Overall, They Might Be Giants hasn't put out a lot of stuff that I really love the past few years. However, this song was always great and this video is just the perfect level of creepy. Watch it twice, at least.
• The 90's Alt-Rock Vocal Hook Supercut - because we all love nostalgia from the 90's.

Have a great weekend!

As VHX continues to grow in the digital distribution department, the Community side gets neglected a little bit (officially, it's entirely unsupported). So, this weeks playlist looks a little short but that's just because I couldn't add some videos for whatever reason. Regardless, enjoy!

• Tiny Hamsters Eating Tiny Burritos - uh, yes please! This is labeled as "Episode 1" so I really look forward to how this develops into more tiny foods.. or just more tiny burritos.
• ZomBeavers Trailer - this is beyond dumb and it hits on every single mark that you would expect it to.
• 56K Modem Remix - I enjoyed this FAR too much. via Forest.
• Drag Queen Entrance - I really don't care that this is a drag queen and I'm sure this is rather old hat for lots of you but it was new to me. The actual entrance is hilarious and unexpected.

Additively, you really should watch these:

• Jackson Browne - Lawyers in Love - this video is weird. Period. I mean, it starts with a floating drummers arm and quickly transitions to youthful aliens visiting him at home. Very bizarre.
• The Grand Budapest Hotel VFX Breakdown - call me ignorant (or optimistic) but I did not realize Anderson leaned so heavily on CG effects for set dressing and mood. He does a fine job of it but it's probably one of the clear differences between pre-Fantastic Fox Anderson and post.
• Fire Season by The Revival Hour - if you did not watch this earlier in the week, please do so now.

Take some time to listen to this Mount Sharp song. Please and thank you. That's it! Have a great weekend.

I'm spending my weekend moving apartments - a whole two blocks from where I'm currently located. Nothing like packing all your belongings into boxes, moving two blocks and unpacking said boxes. Exciting times!

• Europe in 8-Bits - the opening titles to this film are pitch perfect. The life, death and rebirth of the Gameboy. I would watch an entire film of this.
• Street Fighter II (Church Edition) - no words. Entertainment perfection.
• Piggy Wants Salad - I hate to admit it but that pig won my heart. Look at that little face!
• Mount Sharp - Serious Business - if you haven't watched it yet, dive into this episode of BTR with Mount Sharp.
• Abner Jay - I'm So Depressed - I saw James Wallace cover this the other week and I've been obsessively listening to it ever since. If you know nothing of Abner Jay (as I did not), look him up.
• Every Thin Lizzy Guitar Solo 1971 - 1983 - I listened to this entire hour fifteen and loved every single second of it.

Have a great weekend!

Technically I have today off work, but I'm still sitting on the ole computer just browsing around and looking at dumb videos. You know, these. Enjoy!

• Nissin Commercial - I love this because there isn't a moment of it that I understand. I don't even want to understand it. I just enjoy it for what it is.
• Worst Wheel of Fortune Contestant Ever - I mean, poor dude, right? But definitely better than this poor guy.
• Obvious Child Trailer - It's a shame that Jenny Slate was let go from SNL after her one season but this movie looks pretty entertaining. Looking forward to it.
• Bear on Stairs - this is not computer generated animation! It's actually a series of 3D printed models done in traditional stop motion style. Love it.
• Pharrell - Happy (No Music Version) - I wish they'd pushed this further into These People Look Crazy territory but it's still solid.
• Hulk Kid gets mad from Mama Jokes - I love this video. I made plenty of crude computer art growing up but the tools are so much more robust now you can make some pretty epic things - like these kids having an awesome afternoon. This is 100% not mocking.. it's just pure entertainment.

Unfortunately these two videos are not setup for embedding but I highly recommend them:

• The Futility of Existence - just soak this in. Don't jump ahead.. just enjoy the struggle.
• Japanese Racing Rendition - I've likely seen this before but it still strikes me as from another world. Make it a full minute, that's when the real insanity starts.

Have a great weekend!

Some weeks yield more fruit than others and this weeks playlist feels rather delightful. Enjoy.

• The Worf of Starfleet - maybe this parody has already made the rounds. Maybe I'm entirely behind on this but, man, I am loving this. Incredibly well done and I love a solid Michael Dorn quote.
• Beck "Black Tambourine" - how have I never seen this video? Can someone recreate it with ASCIIcam?
• Chicken Nugger - sometimes I delve into /r/DeepIntoYoutube and emerge with incredibly weird gems like this one.
• Food Reviewer: BK Rodeo Chicken Sandwich - it's been 6 months since the Food Reviewer has posted any of his incredibly earnest takes on food. I want to make sure it is clear that I don't enjoy this as a means to mock this kid.. I enjoy it because he's reviewing terrible food and giving absolutely serious takes on how it sits with him. There's something hysterical about the calmness of it.
• Rise of the Patent Troll - a quality video from Kirby Ferguson on a rather important topic. I will talk more about this later I am sure. Do your homework, watch this.
• Imagine the Band - what happens when you take an instrumental version of "Imagine" and an acapella version of "Band on the Run"? Magic, that's what.
• Let's Get Social - admittedly, I feel real bad for this girl and even worse for whoever wrote this. Be sure to read along with the lyrics.
• Wish I Was Here - Trailer 2 - did you see the official teaser trailer for Zach Braff's new movie? Well, make sure you watch this second version to really get some enjoyment.
• Uncle Skeleton - "VHF" - I've been posting about this all week and my desire to have it be seen by as many eyes as possible. So, of course, I'm including here.
• 50 Cent dubbed with Jehovah's Witnesses want Deaf People to Stop Masturbating - don't care if it's legit. don't care if i've posted it before. this is too entertaining to not just enjoy again.

I'm off to DC for the weekend. Hit me up on the tweets if you know of something I should absolutely not miss while I'm there.

Have a great weekend!

Another week, another playlist to distract you from your daily life. Hopefully you find it effective.

• Gravity Opening Sequence Alt - this is so dumb but hits on all the right notes. Kind of like this - it's ridiculous but its also kind of perfect.
• Shape - a fairly incredibly animation about design but, mostly, just a bit of eye candy.
• Magic for Dogs - turns out, dogs are just as confused and bewildered by magic as the rest of us... with an added dash of panic.
• DOOMED: The Untold Story of Roger Corman's "The Fantastic Four" - did you know famed director Roger Corman made a very faithful Fantastic Four movie back in 1994? It was never released and looks, unsurprisingly, pretty cheesy terrible. I want to see it real bad. This documentary piqued my interest big time.
• Fox News accurately recreates a bear encounter. - see title.

Have a great weekend!

Every week I feel like work gets more and more intense - which means less browse time for videos. This is far from a complaint - just a warning that Friday videos may become a solid four each week instead of six minimum. Better to fade away gently, right? All jokes aside, I think you'll enjoy this playlist.

• Generic Brand Video - another video based on a solid McSweeney's post. If this is an emerging trend, I'm into it.
• Bane Cat - it's not hysterical but it's pretty funny. I mean, Cat As Bad Guy is a time tested formula, right?
• St. Paul and the Broken Bones - Don't Mean a Thing - it's not so much the performance that surprised me as it was the lead guys voice.. did not see that coming.
• Time League's Cheap Thrills guarantee - if you see Cheap Thrills and don't love it, Drafthouse owner Tim League will let you slap him in the face (and give you a refund).
• Buck Wild! - this little Wonder Showzen clip comes up in my mind pretty regularly.. it's a good one to revisit at least once a week. A Chomp and a Hoagie!
• Original Acid Warp - after my little trip down After Dark memory lane I couldn't help but revisit this classic.

Have a great weekend!
