We are the Robot Rirates

By prawn1 Thursday August 26, 2010

Pirates are generally reviled but you’d be hard-pressed not to love the Robot Pirates. Created by lawlolawlstudios in collaboration with Songstowearpantsto.com, this humourous little piece is about a bunch of mechanical menaces sailing the high seas of an an 8-bit world. Yo ho ho and a Bottle of RAM.

Tokyo Stormtrooper: Singin’ in the Rain

By prawn1 Wednesday August 18, 2010

Danny Choo is famous. Not only is he the son of shoe mogul Jimmy Choo, he also minces around the streets of Japan in a Stormtrooper costume.

Given the vast amounts of oddness that country seems to be gifted with, you might not even notice Choo, but in this fun little clip, he dances to Mint Royale’s remix of Singin’ in the Rain with assistance from two cute little backup dancers. The force is strong in this one.

52 BAD DUDES

On each Friday of 2010, illustrator Adam Sidwell creates a portrait of a baddie be they from TV, film, or video games. It’s part of his Bad Dudes project and by our reckoning he should have amassed an army of the pop culture’s evilest maafakas by the end of the year.

Have a look at some of Sidwell’s original portraits after the jump.

Tetris Against The Odds

In his “Let the Game Continue” design, threadless user Eduardo San Gil shows how Tetris blocks are created. It might look a little gruesome but at least it involves recycling. Another theory has just been revealed, this time from Russia. It is entitled “Тетрис против контры” or “Tetris against the odds” according to Google Translate. Check it out below and let us know what you think about the ending.

Epic sound effects right there! See more videos of this type on LAGGER131313‘s YouTube channel.

Trucker’s Delight

By prawn1 Wednesday August 4, 2010

2 Comments

This is a tad bizarre and totally NSFW unless you’re happy with co-workers watching scenes of extreme tongue wagging, defecating, free-fall sex, and a colonoscopy by airplane.

Truckers Delight, by French electro group Flairs, is about the fantasies of a lonely truck driver and they’re brought to life in this cheeky/vulgar animated pixel art music video. It’s directed by Jérémie Périn who says this: “Think Spielberg’s Duel + Russ Meyer’s Faster Pussycat Kill Kill! and Marc Dorcel’s wildest fantasies.” You may also recall references to some of the 8-bit video games you played as a child.

A Operatic Montage of Rap Video Clichés

By prawn1 Wednesday August 4, 2010

0 Comments

I haven’t watched a lick of MTV or Channel O so I hope this is still relevant. Vimeo user Thomas Traum has created a montage that celebrates the tropes that we’ve come to know and love in rap music videos.

The montage is accompanied by the operatic Symphony No. 5 that was composed by Gustav Mahler and is played out in five acts. Enjoy it bitches.

Rambo II: The Musical

By prawn1 Thursday July 29, 2010

0 Comments

Vietnam vet John Rambo is not just a bad-ass killing machine, he also does musicals. In this touching duet his melancholic blubbering is uplifted by Co Bao’s dramatic vocals, telling him that he (is) not expendable.

This spoof was brought to you by Jon and Al Kaplan.

Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind)

By prawn1 Friday July 23, 2010

0 Comments

Unlike Jay-Z, rapper Alex Warren doesn’t get to reference world famous landmarks because he lives in Newport, Wales. Warren’s tongue-in-cheek version of Empire State of Mind talks about the fantastic sights of his hometown including the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency and the plentiful supply of designated parking zones.

The parody has been viewed over 300,000 times since its release on July 20th. Check out Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind) below. There are subtitles in case you don’t fully comprehend the Welsh accent.

BONUS: On a more local tip, Delidave and Eracode rap humourously about Cape Town life in a spoof of one of NWA’s most well known songs. You’ll find Straight Outta Kloof Street after the jump.

Explosive A-Team Remixes

The A-Team may have come and gone in parts of the civilized world. The jibba jabba on Rotten Tomatoes rates Joe Carnahan’s big screen re-imagining/regurgitation at a mediocre 49%. South Africans still have to wait until August 20th to watch Hannibal, Face, B.A. and our local guy Sharlto Copley as the nutter Murdock. To pass away the time, I’m listening to an great compilation of A-Team theme tune remixes.

There are four tracks in the explosive A-Team Remixes package, one for each member of the team. The tracks were created by awesome people with equally awesome names like MSTRKRFT, Rye Rye, Dan the Automator, and Just Blaze. Have a listen to the compilation below.

The Murdock Mix is my favourite. Drop us a comment and let us know which one you liked the most.

Ke$ha is everywhere and you cannot escape her, not even in the future as Marty McFly and the Doc Brown discovered. Check out Tik Tok To The Future below.
