These guys are awesome. I think that this is a great stunt:

Nobody's Watching

You might remember my posting about a show called Nobody's Watching. Well thanks to the success it enjoyed on YouTube, they are making the show! In the mean time, they have a few small clips online. Such as this one:

Float

According to the description of this video, it is "designed to inspire the imagination". Well, are you inspired?



Beautiful it undeniably is.

Easily mispronounced URLs

http://www.grupthink.com/poll/22

The title pretty much sums it up. My personal favourite - powergenitalia.com.

Pregnancy

This is just really cute. Put me in a good mood.

Will Farrell as George Bush on Global Warming

This is a follow-up to this post with another Will Farrell on George Bush video. But this one is funnier.



There's just way too much to quote - but here are a couple of my favourites.

"I'm not going to lie to you, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about".
"I start my day thinking about the warming of the Globe, and how we can get it warmer".

I love it.

Dave Chappell as George Bush

If nothing else, George Bush has given comedians a bottomless pit of potential. Books, films, shows, radio programmes, you hear people mocking him and imitating him everywhere. You would think that it would get old. It doesn't.

Funniest ad for a while...

This Agent Provocateur ad with Kylie Minogue is the funniest ad I've seen for a long time. I think that the creepy old woman really adds something. I'm not really sure what...



There you have it: scientific evidence through experiment. They don't get much better than that.

Amaryllis

Ok, this is the last time-lapse video I promise! This one is of the blooming of an amaryllis. I think that it's such a shame that the maker of the video choose this song. It's a really rude song behind something that's quite beautiful. Those who are easily offended, turn off the sound.



No time-lapse tomorrow - I promise you!

More time-lapse

Another time-lapse video. It's spectaclar and with fantastic music.



I love the planes at the airport.

Time-lapse moonrise

I found loads of really cool time-lapse videos yesterday. I love them for loads of reasons. First of all it shows you how rushed we are as humans, never stopping to observe things for the time they deserve. Take this moonrise for example. Not only is it a stunning video, but watching the moon and the sky move in this is the first time that I've seen the Earth rotate relative to other things in space.



See what I mean?

Reno Balloon Race 2006

This was featured on YouTube, and I think that it's awesome. It's sped up to the perfect speed. I like the cow...

Will Ferrell as George Bush

Is it possible to make fun of GWB too much?



"Don't watch the news, except for Fox".

Star Trek vs. Star Wars

Because I was bored...



Still not entertained? Read the geek comments where they debate how plausible Star Trek and Star Wars are... Indeed the first comment is "Actually neither Star Trek or Star Wars are supported by scientific fact". I love it.

Random footage

This is not a particularly incredible video from YouTube. However, what I find amazing, is quite how much stuff there is on there. Who filmed this? When? Where? How on Earth did a video of a military helicopter crashing find its way onto the internet to be viewed by all?

This is how NOT to land a helicopter. Some of you might want to turn the sound down...

The Bush Pilot

I really, really want this to be true. It's a very funny idea.



I like that fact that the guy is German. And the Abu Garaba, Abu Garrab... Whatever.

How Superman Should Have Ended

Hi all,

I just got back from a fantastic trip to Amsterdam. Beautiful city, and the Dutch are very nice people. Now I am back in London and will be able to provide a daily 'Cuppa Tea' again! The first one is this. This is how Superman should have ended:

[Update] faulty clip fixed.

Animator vs. Animation

This is an absolutely fantastic Flash animation. For best quality, go and see it here. Otherwise, the YouTube version:



I'm off on holiday for a week, so I will be unable to post. But check back after then! :-)

Pancakes

This little film from a student at the University of Aberdeen isn't amazing. It's very good, and rather entertaining, and the song is surprisingly catchy, but it's not amazing. What is amazing is that it's had 900,000 views, and has been featured on news channels in Great Britain, USA and Australia. See this news article on it by the BBC.



Ok, I say it's not amazing, but I must confess - I love it. My favourite bit is probably when he breaks the eggs, but eating them with all the different ingredients is fun too. Can anyone tell me how something like this becomes so popular?
