Two Golden Shower Videos

Golden Shower was a Brazilian band that hit the net in the early 2000’s, and over the next few years spent some time creating interesting mashups of video, electronica, and graphics. 

In 2002, Golden Shower released the song and video entitled TOTAL CONTROL, and began to win even more awards and recognition for their work.  The video is a tribute to the classic Tyco TCR race sets from the late 70’s-early 80’s.

Those of you who remember those Tyco TCR race car sets should have fond memories of the excitement an awesome TCR layout could be.   And it was always your friends who had the cool track setups, wasn’t it?

Lessons Learned from THE BEST DAMN POKER SHOW

I’ve been watching THE BEST DAMN POKER SHOW on Fox Sports Net. 

It’s a tournament-based series, with two teams of (mostly) amateur poker players competing against each other and coached by poker pros Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth.  For whatever reason, I can’t watch most poker programs on TV, but shows like this one or Bravo’s prematurely cancelled CELEBRITY POKER SHOWDOWN that offer decent, approachable advice for the casual player (along with a little bit of personality and humor) are more entertainly watchable for me versus the more serious World Poker Tour or High Stakes Poker shows.

Besides, who wouldn’t want to get free poker advice from Annie Duke, Phil Hellmuth, or Phil Gordon (an early commentator on CPS)?  As such, I turn you to one small piece of advice learned from season 2, episode 5, of The Best Damn Poker Show

TiVo Alert: Head Rush on Cartoon Network

Sure, it may not even be scheduled to air yet, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t set a TiVo reminder to record HEAD RUSH on Cartoon Network when it airs later this year (along with the rest of the new Cartoon Network shows planned for 2009, which – oddly enough – aren’t all cartoons).

What’s HEAD RUSH?

Only the coolest game show idea to come along in a long, long time:

Parodies of Lonely Island’s SNL Digital Shorts

You’ve seen the SNL DIGITAL SHORTS on Saturday Night Live for the past few years.  Many people have said that they’ve been the most consistently funny part of the show since they’ve begun.

All the shorts are the brainchildren of The Lonely Island comedy group – Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone.  (Click the album cover image, buy their album — it comes with a DVD with many of their Digital Shorts, some never seen on TV)

They won an Emmy award for the Justin Timberlake collaboration, Dick in a Box.  But other Internet users are taking notice, and making their own versions of the original films.   The first big Digital Short, Lazy Sunday, was the start of the parody run, but as you can see, it certainly wasn’t going to be the last.   Here are 14 different parodies that you may not have seen before:

Full House Screws Up Walt Disney World

One thing that I get annoyed with is when TV shows take liberties with established facts about existing places.  For example, MTV’s Road Rules screwed up in their first season by showing the Winnebago driving north on a highway. The problem was that each subsequent highway shot was from a section of road that was further south than the previous one.  All the editors had to do was place those highway shots in their correct order.  They were going to show those shots anyway, so at least be smart about it.  It was like insisting that the first five letters of the alphabet are “A-B-E-D-C”.

Every Curse Word on HBO’s The Sopranos, ever

Everyone knows that The Sopranos on HBO just wasn’t the same in its censored, rehashed version that was aired on A&E during its so-called “syndication”.

I know that they filmed the series with two scripts specifically for the syndicated market, but the softer censored version just didn’t do the original justice.

So here it is, a 27 minutes-long recap of every swear word used on The Sopranos, shown in chronological order.

UPDATE:

Looks like the original has been taken down.  Try viewing part one, until it too goes away…
