OK Go Teams Up with Muppets for Youtube Gold

OK Go's whole career is based upon its ability to produce viral music videos and in recent years the only glimpse of the Muppets we have had were on Youtube. It was only a matter of time before these two groups teamed up. This video is essentially all of OK Go's previous music videos intermingled with Muppets. I have no complaints, only a slight jealousy of OK Go. Who doesn't want to wake up to Muppets?

Batman Spoilers- Bane and Catwoman

There have been a bevy of spoilers these last few days floating around the Internet. Filming for 'The Dark Knight Rises' is taking place in Pittsburgh and Christopher Nolan has made no attempt to keep this face secret. After this post, I will make no attempt to spoil the movie. If you feel the need, I can link to other sites that are doing it for you.

Here is the latest spoiler. I post it only because it is cool to see a place where I have played football at being used for one of my favorite movie franchises starring my favorite superhero.

From the Set- The Hobbit

Where have I been? This is the third of these behind the scene video blogs and they are wonderful. I suppose if you are not a LOTR fan than you wouldn't be interested, but as a fan I thoroughly enjoyed it. This edition goes behind the scenes with the 13 dwarves of the film. Peter Jackson, Andy Serkis, Ian McKellan, and John Rhys-Davies all make appearances in this video. Give it a look. I can't explain all of the greatness oozing from this video, so you better see it with your own eyes.

Game of Thrones Special Effects

As a huge fan of both the HBO series "Game of Thrones" and the G.R.R. Martin series of books, A Song of Ice and Fire, I am stoked when anything relating to either comes out. The following video was brought to my attention today and it doesn't disappoint. It shows how some of the special effects were created while set to the tune of the series theme song. Enjoy.



A video like this makes me wish I spent five years in college learning special effects, but knowing me I would end up producing something along the quality of "Birdemic." I am not going to list the comments here, but there are a few good ones if you are so inclined.

It's Always Fatty in Philadelphia

I first heard about 'Fat Mac' a few months ago and I just recently came upon the new promo for this season's "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It is centered around Rob McElhenney's weight gain of fifty pounds for the character Mac. Apparently there is nothing more to this than McElhenney thinking it would be funny.

As one of my favorite shows, I don't see a need for this to happen. I don't discourage it though. Fat jokes tend to be funny as long as they are not too abusive (as seen on "King of Queens" for nine seasons. Seriously, Leah Remini's character was down right brutal.) I look forward to 'the gang's' take on 'fat mac'.

Highlights of Women's Moto X Enduro

I can't believe that the X Games would post this on their Youtube account, let alone leave this event in the broadcast. Not a single one of these riders seems to be a professional. It looks like the same quality of riders that you see at the local motocross competition for 6 year olds. This is embarrassing just to watch.

The best part of the video is the comments on Youtube. Head over there to find a few laughs. You will not be disappointed with the all of the sexism going on over there. Here is one of the top comments:

This is a very strange looking kitchen.

What to Watch Tonight- Leprechauns

What to Watch Tonight
I will be posting (at my discretion) a list of things to watch on TV. This may become an everyday thing. I guess it depends on my level of dedication.

Wipeout (ABC)- As summer programming goes, this is about as entertaining as it gets. Multiple shots to the dome are funny in any language.

The Office (TBS)- I couldn't choose between all of the garbage on the other major networks, so I went with a classic. The Office is a great show to put on in the background while surfing the web. Try it.

Tosh.0 (Comedy Central)- Tosh does an investigation of the Alabama Leprechaun. If you are one of the few who haven't seen it or you need a reminder you can check it out below.

Netflix (Instant Play)- I recently watch the cancelled Comedy Central series The Benson Interruption. It is good for some laughs as comedian Doug Benson interrupts fellow comedians like Reno 911's Thomas Lennon. He also engages in a "tweet-off" with one of the comedians each episode, which leaves you wishing that you had thought of the tweet first. Overall, good for a slow summer.

That's it for today. Let me know what else I should have posted.
