InASense, Lost… Wham! Bam! No Thank You, Disney BLAM!

I did not know Disney BLAM! existed, nor should I have, as I don’t watch the Disney Channel (that much).  So upon finding these videos, I did not initially realize one of them was a parody, and it just about destroyed me.

Thank Walt Disney’s cryogenically frozen body (or maybe it’s just his head, à la Ted Williams) one’s a fake.  Can you figure out which one before your brain freezes in abject refusal to continue on?

Happy Find… A Capella Inception Trailer

I’ve watched this more times than I would have expected to based upon the premise.

PREMISE: Somebody removed the original soundtrack from the Inception preview and re-dubbed it all… the music, character voices, and sound effects.

The part that keeps me clicking replay?  The music.

Here’s the original for comparison:

Awful Battle… Terrible Vampire Names

With everybody bitching about the state of the vampire mythos these days, I’m here to remind you it could be much worse.

“Writer” Stephanie Meyer has taken a lot of slack for Twilight and her inability to create compelling character… names.

Edward Cullen, Alice Cullen, Carlisle Cullen, Esme CullenRenesmee Cullen.  (Source: Wikipedia, of course.)

Here are some worse names than those (if they are not, I tried my best):

Cousin Larry Cullen

Blaine Tristan Cullen

D.B. Cullen

Stifler Cullen

Colin Cullen

Justin Bieber

Almost The Sh– To The Sh–… The Dana Carvey Show Alumni

People barely remember Dana Carvey, let alone his attempt to break away from his Saturday Night Live shackles, The Dana Carvey Show.  Considered ahead of its time, here are the opening skits from the first episode:

Aside from the advertising sponsored episode titles (in this case, my favorite, Taco Bell), did anything else stand out?

Perhaps some the actors involved?

The 40-Year-Old Version, The Office, Little Miss Sunshine, Get Smart

Strangers with Candy, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, TV Funhouse

Notice any of the writers involved?

Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Lucky Louie, Parks and Recreation, Louie

Community, Moral Orel, Mary Shelley's Frankenhole

In My Brain While Sleeping… When Nature Attacks (Because You Didn’t Drink Beer)

It's a little bit of "Ah, Nature" vs. "Aaaaaah, Nature!"

The dream started off normal enough.

I was hanging out with a group of friends at a bar, drinking, when all of a sudden, one of my friends was launched into the air by a wooden stool.

It kind of happened like this:

We rushed to his aid and helped him up.  Somebody checked the stool and there was nothing remarkable about it.  He said he was fine, so we continued drinking.  Rather than trusting another seat, my previously airborne friend opted to lean against the wood-paneled wall.  He chose to be sober that night, so he asked the waitress for another glass of water to replace the last one he spilled.

That’s when the wall blasted him across the room somehow, even though its surface remained in tact.

In a blood curdling whelp, he begged the question, “Why?”  That’s when a creature that looked like this:

It's a "Sudowoodo" from Pokémon.

…except meaner explained everything.

When you choose not to partake entirely in the sacrifice that nature has made for your enjoyment, it is an insult to the remainder of nature you have used.

Tonight, we, the wooden chairs and wooden walls, have lashed back because you refused to honor our fallen hops and barley brethren.

So the moral of the dream is this: DRINK.

Hibbidy-Wah?! Wait For It… Wait… For… It…

Musical Musings… My New Jam

When I’m flipping through the radio dials, I’ve tended to avoid this song, having misheard the lyrics.

I kept thinking Jason Derulo was crooning:

I’m ridin’ so low

When in all actuality, he was proclaiming:

I’m ridin’ solo

So now, this song is my new jam:

And I can finally hang up Whitesnake’s boots and this song:

Who am I kidding… I’ll just have two single guy anthems.  Women, you can keep yours.

Coinkydink Or Coinkydonk? Mike Myers Was A Cheeky Monkey

I had no idea Mike Myers was such a mooch.  There were rumors that he lifted Dr. Evil from Dana Carvey’s impression of SNL creator, Lorne Michaels, but I had no idea he got this idea…

Vodpod videos no longer available.

…from this:

I’m passing no judgment.  It’s more of an I had no idea! revelation.

An additional I had no idea! revelation – the bad guy in Atom Age Vampire looks like he could be Will Ferrell’s Pop or Grandpop (0:30 mark):
