For the Love of Nicktoons
As I’ve often said on this blog, the Internet is full of wondrous and exciting things. All those creative types out there with big ideas and great senses of humor used to have to hope they were discovered to be heard. Now there is Youtube. Like this group called Dr. Cool Sex, who have made live-action trailers for modern day takes on famous Nicktoons.
First: Hey Arnold!
And then Doug.
I mean, come on, these are just awesome. They must have been a blast to make.
The Doctor Who RPG by College Humor
Sadly, this isn’t real. But quite honestly, after watching this video, how can anybody make sense of Doctor Who? Sheesh! The geniuses at College Humor have put together a video showcasing Doctor Who as if it were a 16-bit RPG from the Super Nintendo era. It’s funny, but mostly it’s insane. But it sticks very closely to the actual episodes, so it’s the show Doctor Who that’s really the insane one!
Fans will love his. People who don’t watch Doctor Who won’t have any idea what’s going on.
SPOILERS: This contains spoilers to seasons 5 and 6 of Doctor Who, the Matt Smith years. Don’t watch if you haven’t seen those episodes yet!
April Fools Day Begins with Awesomeness
I love April Fools Day. And I love the Internet’s response to April Fools Day. All the silly little website changes, jokes and Rickrolls. Google is always good for a great joke, and so is the pop culture website IGN. This year they may have outdone themselves, enlisting the talents of Harry Partridge to make a Saturday morning cartoon version of Mass Effect. Perhaps you’ll remember Partridge’s Watchmen Saturday morning cartoon?
Anyway, enjoy the new video and Happy April Fools Day!
Nobody Likes Dazzler
Let’s start this morning with a bit of humor. Website extraordinaire Dorkly have done it again with a hilarious video game parody. This time it’s X-Men The Arcade Game, and how nobody – not even Magneto – liked Dazzler. This is funny stuff people.
Mr. Freeze: The Musical
The genius of the Internet strikes again with a musical based on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s performance as Mr. Freeze, in what has collectively been decided is the worst movie of all time: Batman and Robin. That movie exists now to be mocked, and the brilliance of Legolambs have stepped up. They are the same people who made Mario: The 8-Bit Opera and Conan: The Musical.
Listen and be happy that such people exist.
