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!
In the Game of Ponies, You Love or You Tolerate
I don’t know why this mash-up of My Little Ponies with the Game of Thrones opening music exists, it just does. That’s how the Internet works. Game of Thrones returns this Sunday, but sadly I don’t want it episode per episode on TV. I’ll wait sometime down the line to see season 2. For now though, enjoy this epic piece by Pony Parodys.
The Mother-badwording Pterodactyl!
I love The Oatmeal. Not the food product, no sir. But the Internet artist and comedian. The man is sheer brilliance. If you don’t already frequently read The Oatmeal, then what the heck are you doing here? Go! Go and enjoy! There is so much fun to be had!
What’s that, Internet? You’ve someone spawned a music video version of The Oatmeal’s Pterodactyl comic? And it’s so mind-blowingly insane that you can barely contain yourself? Don’t worry, Internet, I’m here to save you! We’ll get all my friends and readers to watch this brilliant song, and spreading the joy will make it easier!
Watch, my friends. Watch and be one with awesome.
I think that deserves a Hell Yeah!
Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman Ain’t the Only Superheroes in Town
Who knew superheroes could be so self-conscious? But even the likes of Aquaman and Plastic Man deserve some time in the spotlight, right? Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman just hog it all. They’re not Super Friends at all, more like Super Jerks! This MAD cartoon parody is simply splendiforous! The superheroes of the DC Universe can really put on a good song and dance when they’re properly motivated.
Mario with Portals? Hilarity Ensues
Have you played MariO, the reprogrammed Super Mario Bros. 1 with a portal gun? I have, and it was really awkward to control, so I didn’t play very much. But a bunch of guys from Rooster Teeth, the team that makes Red vs. Blue, have decided to play 4-person MariO and it’s hilarious. If you can stand watching other people play video games, this 20-minute video is a blast. It’s funny from beginning to end as these guys deal with the utter insanity of cruising turtle shells and 4 separate sets of portals.
Totally worth a viewing.
