Seems like a bad idea to me, unless they're bringing back the old Simpsons writers from back when the show used to be good. Hope they prove me wrong.

Chris Brown and Lil Wayne getting their Smooth Criminal and/or Newsies on:

My favorite part is the look on the bass player's face..

What more needs to be said?

Disorienting to hear someone sing "smoking only the best weed" on TV with out it getting bleeped..

Great footage, and gotta love the announcer dude.

I'm not sure how "It's Raining Men" fits into all this, but I hope America will learn from this cautionary tale.

"when people quote dave chapelle they have to pay "

I was digging Family guy when it came out, have the first 3 seasons on DVD.. but after a while the formula wore thin on me, and I stopped even following the post-comeback episodes.. but South Park is still impressing me, if anything more than ever. So I gotta side with them on this one..

President Bush gets the DJ Raedawn treatment from an audience member:

"You never stop talking about freedom, and I appreciate that. But while I listen to you talk about freedom, I see you assert your right to tap my telephone, to arrest me and hold me without charges, to try to preclude me from breathing clean air and drinking clean water and eating safe food. If I were a woman, you'd like to restrict my opportunity to make a choice and decision about whether I can abort a pregnancy on my own behalf..."
...Harry Taylor to George Bush

These clips are ba-nay-naise:

Some commercials promoting some P-Funk related albums and an odd walkman.Albums featured are Zapp, Sweat Band, Phillipe Wynne, Bootsy and Parliament.

I have no idea if this is real, but it's pretty cool none the less.

An acupuncturist, after over 20 years of daily meditation, can shock people and light newspaper on fire with his Chi.

We don't really see his full process of putting a beat together, as we do with the Just Blaze Smack DVD clip for example, but still some cool footage and commentary from Kanye (having a good day and sounding all smart and mature)

A (fake) preview of the (nonexistent) sequel to James Cameron's Titanic:

Bootsy's Rubber Band live in Houston:

Just a friendly boo..

From the 1948 film "Killer Diller":

I am posting ths in order to warn you all that the apocalypse is at hand. Given the existence of this song and video, can anyone doubt that the end times are upon us?

DUDE!!! ROCK!!!

DUDE!!!!

I didn't think Youtube let you have such a long file anymore.. maybe they slipped this in before the new rules arrived.

The Dalip Singh, big dude from The Longest Yard, sonning the Undertaker on Smackdown:

Here's his bio:

Dalip Singh (born August 27, 1972 in Dhirana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab) is an Indian powerlifter and professional wrestler. Singh is currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment in the United States of America on its SmackDown! brand under the ring name The Great Khali. Before embarking on his professional sports career, Singh, who stands 7 foot 3 inches tall and weighs 420 pounds, was an officer in the Punjab state police, champion bodybuilder, and a Pehlwan athlete.

Dalip Singh was born into a poor family in the village of Dhirana in Himachal Pradesh in the region of Punjab, and is the third of eight siblings. At a young age, he earned a daily wage as a roadside stone breaker to help provide for his family.

In 1993, Singh was still working as a road laborer in the Himalya Hills when his life's circumstances began to change. By this time he had tried his hand at many sports. He excelled in all of them, but showed exceptional talent in bodybuilding. The Director General of the Punjab Police Department took notice of Dalip and helped him join the police force. The change in employment allowed Singh to further his body building training and he subsequently won titles of Mr. India in 1997 and 1998. His success and hard work led him to train as a wrestler in the United States of America in 1999, where he developed the skills necessary to compete on a global stage, enabling him to win numerous wrestling titles in Japan, where he is currently a very popular figure. Singh's training schedule consists of two hours of weight training, morning and evening, every day. His chest measures at 65 inches and he weighs in at approximately 400 lbs. Maintaining his size requires a strict and intimidating daily dietary regimen: one gallon of milk, five chickens and two dozen eggs, along with chapatis, juice and fruit...

With Yoko doing her thing on the side.. I like Yoko. All you haters are corny.

Product placement lacked a certain subtlety, back in the 60s.. this is almost as bad as Master Shake's Boost Mobile sellout:

"In the days when the tobacco industry still could advertise on American radio and TV broadcasts, and advertising on TV had more limitless options, it was common for TV programs on prime-time to feature the cast doing plugs for a specific product that was sponsored that night, and the Flintstones was no exception."

Umm yeah, so uhh, Shakira is good at dancing and stuff... can't think of anything pithy to say about this.

Shakira and Wyclef doing "hips don't lie"

The two greatest entertainers of all time, grooving to "There Was A Time" ..watch Sammy work the Camel Walk:

You sure you want to spray that on your tomatoes??

Crazy ending on this one.. skip to the last 30 seconds if you're as lazy as I am:

"Tim Sylvia, a heavy underdog against UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski (Pictures), rebounded from a vicious right hand Saturday night at the Arrowhead Pond to recapture the belt and reign atop the scrambled UFC heavyweight division for a second time.

Headlining the debut Ultimate Fighting Championship in California — the state regulated its first mixed martial arts event on March 10 — the heavyweight clash promised to be better than the 47-second affair the two fighters shared 14 months ago when Arlovski felled and then submitted the 6’ 8” Ellsworth, Maine native in taking the undisputed UFC heavyweight crown..."

Nice up-close glimpse at one of the greatest drummers ever:

Dani California - their first new video in quite a while, heralding the Red Hot Chili Peppers' album "Stadium Arcadium":

What you know about dat? Not much at all, to tell you the truth, good sir. Would you care to tell me a few things about dat?

Why thanks!

Missy's "We Run This" from the soundtrack for "Stick It." I'm sure someone will complain that the whole marching band thing has been done already, but I'm not mad at this.. though I like the initial beat more than the Go-Go Apache part..

Missy Elliott - "We Run This"
Stick It
Motion Picture Soundtrack
Director: Dave Meyers

Football technique, that is. Can't wait to see Brasil rock this world cup.

Okay this is not from Youtube, but whatevs whatevs.. sweet live rendition of the song:

Get this video and more at MySpace.com

"Gnarls Barkley performed this alternate version of Crazy on Top of the Pops (16 April 2006)"

This video is notable because the women have the same amount of clothing on as the men, at least for the first half. Usually even if they're in a snowstorm the guy has a big coat on and the women are in bikinis..

An episode of one of the classic 1950s soap operas/serials, with original ads included:

Because the world needs more Fishbone:

It's A Wonderful Life (The one that made me into a Fishbone soldier, when I saw it on Video Music Box in 1987)

Sunless Saturday (directed by Spike Lee, IIRC?)

People keep telling me about this show, so I'm giving it a look-see. I think I need to drink some coffee and come back to this later. It is hurting my head.

Rihanna is one of about 5 singers out right now that I find completely indistinguishable from one another.. Basically for old fogeys like me, the females of R&B right now are "Beyonce and her 5 understudies."

Scott Thompson as Jesus + "Doctor Seuss's crucifixion machine" = comedy masterpiece

Kids in the Hall, represent!

Awesome stuff here.. Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention rocking "Purple Lagoon," with a samurai-style kazoo and saxophone solo from John Belushi. (plus bonus Garrett Morris sketch)

Apparently in Japan they let you advertise LSD on television?

Jack White's ad for Coke.. now airing in Australia?

I mean young... I can't find a year for it. I guess this is the "Jack Paar Show" and not the Tonight Show?

Wow, people were dorky in the 70s.

This is not a game, son! Yo-yo gulliness from Singapore's Hougang RC Boys crew.

Whew! I forgot how funky this song is. Eric Leeds (I assume?) is killing the sax on here.

For the hardcore heads, some rare P-Funkery with up-close footage of Eddie Hazel on guitar:

Highlights of the latest major Futbol battle, with your boy Ronaldinho holding it down...

Robert Smigel strikes a blow for the cause of justice, finally exposing the dark underbelly of the Disney Empire. Glad to see I'm not the only one who never understood the purpose of Mickey Mouse.. Mickey lives on only to be a sad reminder of the era when we lived without modern innovations like "wit" and "personality."

"Ever wondered what happens to the stuff Disney doesn't want you know about any more.... well time to find out.

Join Mickey Mouse and learn in this funny Disney Vault video the fate of 'Song of the South', the information on Walt's involvement with HUAC and a few other Skeletons !"

What are you a doofus? Acting like you ruthless..

Pink performing her much-anticipated anti-Bush anthem "Dear Mr. President" live in Times Square, on MTV's TRL. This is a pretty damn good protest song, as pop protest goes these days. Easily beats out that Conor Oberst joint.

His third and final appearance on the Late Show, promoting his book "Crackup at the Race Riots." Considered a classic by those who enjoy awkward moments:

An oldie but a, err, goodie?

Can anyone ID this band for us?

Featuring an early incarnation of the Cookie Monster, before he discovered cookies?

The Gnarls Barkley backlash is already in full swing, but I think this song and video are well worthy of blowing up. (haven't heard whole album yet, so beyond that I won't hate on the haters)

Snoop sure has a tough life.. I want to know whatever happened to the other members of Eden's Crush.

The Batman Theme, as captured in physical form by the acclaimed Hullabaloo Dancers:

Another great moment in awkwardness:

Another tremendous clip from the "American Folk Blues Festival," that went on in Germany during the 60s.

Dude. These dudes had mad skills.

Are there any videos that don't have Snoop these days?

Sly and the crew winning first place in a talent contest. I know I toss out superlatives all the time in here, but seriously this is some amazing footage right here:

With that haircut Slug suddenly bears a strong resemblance to John Mayer. With maybe a little Vincent D'Onofrio mixed in. (via imageyenation)

Now this is that real old school New York flavor. Clearly from some time in the 70s. I keep waiting for one of the gangs from Warriors to jump out. (via kottke)

Sorry for commercial interruption but I'm a big Wes Anderson fan, or "Stan" as the kids like to say now. Kids are so judgmental these days.

I'm not gonna pretend I caught the Truffaut reference, but it's still a cool ad as ads go:

A tour of the late great J Dilla's basement studio, with Common and Frank & Dank.

Another big old funky mess. They start with one of my favorite Funkadelic tracks, "Alice In My Fantasies"

Punk'd targets another rapper, and (big shock!) a confrontation with cops is involved. But E-40 stays unfazed throughout, as befits the coolest man in Cali.

For my friend who hasn't seen it yet:

A local tv appearance by DC's go-go crew The Junkyard Band, best known for "Sardines" if anyone remembers that. (if you don't remember it you need to go find it, cuz it's funky)

A nice long clip snuck in before Youtube added their 10-minute limit:

Wait, is that John Amos from Good Times in there? Damn, damn, damn!
