I love Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. They look like a ragtag group of dirty hippies that just wander the streets singing about peace and harmony or something. Still, that's sort of adorable in this day and age. Most people have woken up to the fact that there is no such thing as peace in this world.

StarFox 64 is one of my favorite games of all time. I played that thing obsessively, as I've already written about on this blog before. But one thing that even someone who has only seen StarFox played for a couple of minutes would know, is that your teammates ARE ANNOYING AS HELL! That's why this video hits home so well.

I like to imagine the writers of this show high fiving each other in excitement after having written this script. "Yeah! We totally fit video games into our show! Now all the young kids will think it is hip and fresh!" It amazes me that they actually used a real game, but then gave it archaic video game contrivances. "Alright, we'll use your Prince game. But we have to make it have a set structure of levels. Also, is there any way you can put quarters into this xbox thing?" When you imagine it going down like that, it is infinitely more funny.

Now this is what Halloween pumpkin carving is all about. Creativity, ingenuity, and a heaping amount of pure disgusting.

I'm a big fan of cheesy 90's one-hit-wonders. This song is pretty high up on the cheesy scale. Maybe about a gouda or so. But what really sets this video apart, is the amount of people arguing in the comments over what he is really saying instead of abadee abadie, or whatever. My favorite is, "If I was green I would die".
