I Kind of Want to Watch The Simpsons Again
Somebody at The Simpsons gets it. I haven’t watched the show in years, and I’m fairly certain all the new episodes are humorless and desperate, but somebody, somewhere, has their finger on the pulse of the exact level of camp that’s hilarious in 2016. How else do you explain this amazing Coach Gag that parodies the 80s to such a perfect degree?
That’s gold. And it’s an official Simpsons Coach Gag, to appear on an upcoming episode. That whole parody video is one bit of brilliance after another. Only to blow it in the final seconds with that bit about Maggie. But somewhere, it’s good to know somebody at The Simpsons understands what the hell they’re doing.

Only Leigh’s Year In Review
We here at Henchman-4-Hire are big fans of Internet cartoonist Only Leigh, so I see no reason not to share her 2015 year in review video! Warning, there are some Game of Thrones spoilers hidden inside, if you’re doing your darndest to avoid those things.
Great cartoons! And if you haven’t seen it yet, she did a pretty funny bit about BB-8.

What If the Star Wars Prequels Were Good?
Some of you have probably seen these videos before, but I’ve been wanting to share them, because they’re a lot of fun. Basically, a rather creative chap named Michael at Belated Media has re-imagined the Star Wars prequels into a better, more entertaining movie trilogy. He keeps the same characters, general plot and themes, but does a much better job with the storytelling. He’s backed up by some great artwork by Jackie Whisler.
These are just one guy’s ideas, but creativity respects creativity.
I especially like what he has planned for Uncle Owen and Darth Maul. That’s some good thinking right there.

A Short Film About a Girl Who Loves Hockey
It’s genius in its simplicity. A certain Internet mastermind, Jordan Hanzon, has edited the Pixar movie Inside Out to remove all the ‘inside’ parts that deal with Riley’s emotions. What’s left is a touching story about a girl struggling with moving to a new town. It’s just plain neat.
It’s such a simple but brilliant idea. I’m glad someone thought of it, though I wish it were me. I need to become Internet famous in 2016…

It’s a Zombie Nazi Sort of Day!
I didn’t expect today to be a Zombie Nazi sort of day, it just kind of happened. I found this video of a LEGO Captain America mini-movie (Captain America 3, apparently), and it’s all about LEGO Cap fighting off a bunch of LEGO Zombie Nazis! It’s awesomely animated, gory as hell and has a sweet ending!
All kudos to Forrest Fire for the excellent video. Their LEGO animation skills are the bomb diggity! Be sure to watch all the way to the end!
And while we’re on the topic of Zombie Nazis (quite different from Nazi zombies), I’d also like to introduce you to one of the funniest songs ever! This is from Rob Zombie’s movie The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, which is a pretty terrible movie, but which has a pretty hilarious Zombie Nazi song about a third of the way in. It’s probably NSFW due to the cussin’.
Only good part of that movie. I just saved you a couple of painful hours.
