Boob Toob Supplemental: 45mins until my long weekend starts

Easter is upon us which means most people here in Australia get a 4 day weekend. If you plan it in advance (as some peeps in my department did) you can have almost 2 weeks off just by taking a few days off work. There's only 3 work days next week because we have Monday off and then Friday (April 25) is Anzac Day. So some people here took 3 days off next week and I won't be seeing them for almost 2 weeks. I'm already taking 2 weeks off at the start of May so I'll be staying put next week. It's all good, at least I get 2 long weekends in a row.

But you didn't come here to hear about my life story, right? You came here for some videos. Let's do this!

Origin of memes

If you ever wanted to know where your favourite memes came from, how's about you leave Britney alone (that's a meme, right?) and check out the video below. I can never ever ever get enough of Star Trek memes.

Japanese intro to the X-Men 90s cartoon

Pretty freaking epic. Thanks to either Billy Z (from Comic Book Bears) or Gerry McDade (the G in GXPod) for alerting me to this. I don’t know which one of them posted it because it was done on Facebook and I don’t know how any of it works. (Get off my back!) But apparently Jon Westhoff (the guy that says “and we’re baaaack” on E2P) originally posted it.

More info on the opening can be found here. I wish they did a whole series in this animation style.

CRY FOR THE MOOOOOOOOON!

Gotta catch... all the Avengers??

More Japanese Marvel goodness! This is the opening to Disk Wars Avengers. It sounds a lot like a mash up Earth's Mightiest Heroes with Pokemon. Thanks to Kross on the 11 O'Clock Comics forum for pointing this out. POKEVENGERS!

360° video made from 6 GoPro cameras

By Vimeo user j0n4s. This is pretty neat, I'd love to try something similar. I've embedded the video below but you'll want to check it out on Vimeo to see the original and better quality version. Mone info on how it was done can be found here (you may want to translate it in English).

4D? I barely have a handle on 3D!

Pretty trippy looking game called Miegakure. I may have to check this out. More info at Kotaku. FYI the 4th dimension is not time.

Shatner kills Shakespeare

Say whaaaat?!? Why would anyone wanna kill Billy Shakespeare? Watch the video below to find out. They used Legos to make it too and you know how popular Legos are these days. 

Speaking of Legos...

Check out these adults who get to play with Legos. That's exactly what I'm gonna do once I retire. Play Legos all day.

Best. Thing. Ever.

Boob Toob Supplemental

What’s up boobers and toobers! This is Dan, here with some things that I meant to discuss on the show but didn't end up doing so for one reason or another. I also find myself forgetting a lot of things as soon as Bobgar hits ‘record’ so I may use this space for things that I remember after we’re done recording.

For now, I’m calling it Boob Toob Supplemental mainly because I can’t think of anything better. Maybe Bob can change it if he has something better in mind. Or maybe YOU can suggest a better title.

Anyway, enough babbling from me. Here’s... umm... some more babbling from me! (I really should’ve thought that through.)

Disassembled

This is an animated short by Junaid Chundrigar and was apparently done in collaboration with Marvel. Other credits include Joris Hermy (music), Erik Griekspoor (sound design) and Thijs Viegers (Hulk explosion).

Minus the intro by Stan Lee, it’s only 2 mins long so it’s short and sweet. The animation style is funny and whacky and it shows various Marvel characters having a bad day. Venom eating the ice cream is my fave. The Snakes on the Plane bit was also nice. And Johnny Storm looks messed up!

I like it a lot and I feel like this would’ve been great as a bonus feature in the Avengers DVD/bluray.

Tangent: The Avengers movie was GREAT! Next time you see Bob, tell him to watch it so we can talk about it on the show :)

DyE - Fantasy

This is an animated music video and I don’t want to say too much about it because I don’t want to influence people one way or another. All I’ll say is that it shook me and left me wanting more. The description is below but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Mindblowing stuff, all the way to the end.

"Tigersushi and Excuse My French are pleased to present the new video for DyE's new single, Fantasy. Directed by animation wunderkind Jérémie Périn, the video tells the story of a group of highschool kids ready for teenage mischief. They break into the local swimming pool intending a session of innocent nightswimming, in an awkward climate of romance and apprehension. What happens next is for you to discover here. nsfw."

Baby Got Back sung by 295 movies

Some awesome individual spliced together clips from 295 movies to sing Sir Mix-a-Lot’s Baby Got Back. It has movies in it so that sort of counts ;) After seeing it, my thought was “I’m happy that this guy was born so he could do this.” Check it out!

Tom Cruise Running Montage

A bit of an addendum (think of it as homework) for episode 6 of The Boob Toob. I swear this guy has a clause in his contract saying that every movie he does has to have a running scene.
