No. It Can't Be. (link to this video)
"Well there's something you don't see every day."
I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us.

Mega Motor Mouth (link to this video)
I'm not sure who, or what, created this all-voiced video of Mega Man 3. Either way, I find it oddly soothing, in a creepy sort of way.

Retro Trailer of the Week: The Neverhood (link to this video)
Aaron says I'll score mad points with the diehard PC crowd for posting this old trailer for DreamWorks Interactive's claymation-animated adventure The Neverhood. I never did play this one, but I want to now.

Knock Knock (link to this video)
Multiplying two negatives makes a positive, as this combination of the worst joke and worst internet meme proves.

It's Coming Right For Us (link to this video)
The Landshark is considered the cleverest of all sharks. Unlike the great white shark, which tends to inhabit the waters and harbors and recreational beach areas, the Land Shark may strike at any place, anytime.

Duck Hunt: The Play (link to this video)
This clever live-action reenactment of Duck Hunt is only slightly marred by the random appearance of anime characters.

Impossible Video of the Week: McGiygas (link to this video)
Aaron giveth, and Aaron taketh away.
In exchange for The Neversoft tip, Aaron forced me to post this. I'm still not sure what this is. The music is the Giygas theme from Earthbound, but other than that, I'd guess it was the product of Aphex Twin music video director Chris Cunningham.

The Japanese Ronald McDonald "Ran ran ruu" commercials have become a internet meme on 2chan and Nico Nico Douga. Here are a few more examples. Unless you watch a ton of anime like me, you probably won't recognize the originals of what they... "remixed."
