We Could Watch Gay Dudes Do Gay Dances For Hours

Emily Farris — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:41:00 GMT

Especially when said dudes are in uniform and dancing like the computer baby. Unfortunately, we have to settle for three minutes and thirty-nine seconds. Enjoy.

(And don't get on our asses for assuming they're gay—which we do—the title of the video is Gay Korean Dance Video).

Emily Farris — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:03:00 GMT

We love this video for "People got a Lotta Nerve" from the album Middle Cyclone because 1. It's by one of our favorite lady singers, Neko Case, and 2. it has Nerve in the title. Also, it's just a really great song.

So You Think You Can Dance Better Than A Third Grader?

Brian Fairbanks — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:20:00 GMT

This is exactly what we needed to kick off the week: a seriously badass brother and sister improvisational dance team.

Hopefully, these kids will grow up, find this on YouTube, and realize maybe it's actually pretty cool that their parents captured this moment in time. One commenter muses: "As Jack Donaghy says, In five years we'll all either be working for him or be dead by his hand." We'll tweak that a bit: he's either the next Black Michael Jackson or a future Melendez brother.

Vintage Video of the Day: Riot Grrrls On 'Roseanne'

Emily Farris — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:54:00 GMT

When Roseanne was on the air, we watched it religiously, but we were too young to really appreciate what an amazing show it was—plus, we were too busy crushing on David and trying to be less like Becky and more like Darlene. Each time we catch a repeat, though, we're amazed at how well it portrayed the every-family (at least according to Scanner Emily). One episode we don't remember (probably because we were more Becky than Darlene) is the one where Jenna Elfman appeared on the show as a Riot Grrrl and gave housewife Roseanne a "wake up call."

A tipster sent us this Guinness commercial with the subject line "Best. Ad. Ever." and while it's maybe a little sexist, and at least six months old, we sort-of have to agree.

We don't know how we missed this when it aired (and we can't believe no one sent it to us!).

Saturday Night Live is all about the Cougars this season. So it's no surprise they'd cash in on Barbie's 50th birthday. Cougar Barbie comes with dream Botox and she pole dances to the smooth stylings of Steve Perry.

Video of the Day: MAC-Hello Kitty Commercial

Emily Farris — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:43:00 GMT

Other than for this very purpose (spreading it around the Interwebs) we're not sure why any company would put together a four minute and eleven second commercial. But if you are going to put together a four minute and eleven second commercial, this MAC Cosmetics + Hello Kitty ad is the way to do it.
At one point, a woman chases her little black pussy cat into a pink tube as the lyrics "come inside" are accompanied by trippy techno music. It just gets better after that. We would have like to watched this during the Super Bowl commercial breaks.

Woman Misses Her Flight, Proceeds to Freak the F*ck Out

Emily Farris — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:43:00 GMT

I've had my fair share of public freak outs in my life. In fact, days before I left New York for Kansas City I lost my shit in the middle of the Port Authority Bus Terminal after I missed by bus and couldn't find anyone to help me then couldn't find the ticket counter then signs led me to a dead end. Luckily, a nice police officer saw me crying and helped get me on the right bus. The point of all of this is that I thought I was acting crazy. But I have nothing—and I mean nothing—on this woman who freaked the fuck out in the middle of the Hong Kong International Airport after she missed her flight. This video has been pretty popular on the Internets for the past few days, but if you haven't yet watched it, please do. I honestly can't watch more than about 30 seconds of it, but that's all I need to feel validated.

Video of the Day: Spend the Next 27 Minutes of Your Life Listening to Tony Soprano Curse

Emily Farris — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:54:00 GMT

A video editor with far too much time on his or her hands has taken it upon him or herself to compile every swear word ever uttered in all six six seasons of The Sopranos. It sounds a lot like the half hour we spend working out three days a week. And if someone can mash this up with some good classic rock and hip-hop so we don't have to waste our own breath cursing while we work out, we'd be eternally obliged and super impressed.

Alright, on Monday Scanner Matt was kind enough to share with us the inimitable Super Broker Shuffle (which, in some strange convergence of the universe, we received from a friend entirely unrelated to Scanner that very same morning - talk about going viral!)

Anyway, in a similar vein, today we happened upon this video, which appears to be a Wendy's (yes, the burger chain) training video, with a twist. A twist of rap.

Check it out in all it's glory -- including (but not limited to) singing and lipstick-ed square patties, gold Wayfarers we'd probably kill for, and the requisite microwave malfunction -- after the jump.

The best part about buying lingerie for yourself and/or your loved one is that it's a gift that gives and receives. Oh, and it's considerably more thoughtful than other clothing purchases.

Playboy's Gamer Next Door shows you what you need to know...

Poorly edited, written (or "ad libbed"), shot, and... good Lord... did she just say "innerestin'"? Indeed.

Also, she doesn't feel "very green" by donating books to the Salvation Army? My dear, that's known as "recycling." Other than that, we, um, enjoyed the costuming in this film production and the realization that Rayman's Raving Rabbits is the first game we can play with our asses.

There are about twenty-five laugh-out-loud moments in this video for us, which are all funnier than anything Andy Samberg has done since Chris Parnell stopped making SNL parodies with him.

From Everything is Terrible and via The Frisky, your day is now complete...

1) The part where the woman appears to be touching herself while thinking about "a pint of ice cream and Dallas"

2) "A book with an usual title" and "a stuffed animal" are two conversation pieces which may even cause us to flee from Kate Beckinsale or Jennifer Connelly

3) "Your mother may have taught you that it's rude to stare." But then they have a guy stop at a park bench and leer at a woman for a full ten seconds before deciding to move on. And that's supposed to be a good example of a male prototype!

4) "You know, somebody oughta come up with a newspaper that only has good news in it." Oooh, girls, don't let this stranger talking to you on the same park bench get away, he's an American original...

What are your favorites?

We watch a lot of videos here at Scanner. We laugh at some, roll our eyes at others and even get turned on by a few. Then we click out of the window and move onto the next sex scandal or ridiculous tabloid news story or four and call it a day. Little thought is given to the people who create said videos, or in the case of the Barbie Porn YouTube videos, who is actually doing the voiceovers.

When we do think of such things, however, we are forced to consider the question: to dump or not to dump the guy who makes Barbie porn for the Internet?

Watch the video and then let us know.

We sure as hell can't pass up Kermit lip syncing to LCD Sound System's "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down," especially since we already have one foot across the state line.

Mewhehahahaahooonh! That's the sound of us squealing with joy over the fact that someone released a two-minute sneak peek of the upcoming season of LOST (which doesn't premiere until January 21).

Two "lawyers" show up at Kate's door requesting a blood sample from her and Aaron. We're guessing it's Ben, using his power to make her run... because where is the one place she'll go where she'll never be found?

Anyway, clip after the jump.

Just watch. Watch and learn.

Was that not the greatest thing you've ever seen in your life?

We also realized when watching the final scene (which we unfortunately can't find online) that Paula Abdul totally ripped off the Breakin' audition for her "Cold Hearted Snake" video.

What's better than Sarah Palin playing the flute in a beauty pageant? Stacey Hedger playing the Star Wars theme on a trumpet in a beauty pageant, that's what. Who is Stacey Hedger? Well... Kansas City bloggers orginally connected this talented lady to our hometown, and though the connection has been debunked, we still feel a special connection to this sparkly beauty queen. It reminds us of our high school days when we were on the drill deam and in the marching band. We'd march in our sparkly uniform, pass off our saxophone to the horn player next to us and mark time, alone, in the middle of the football field until the rest of the Indianettes joined us. Miss Hedger, however, manages to pull it all off at once.

On November 3, 2004, we were driving a van full of volunteers back from Ohio and we stopped at a gas station in West Virginia to listen to John Kerry cede the election to George W. Bush. It was a sorry sight, a bunch of 20-somethings bawling our eyes out in a 15-passenger van at a gas pump in Appalachia. But we can imagine that was nothing compared to what might be on November 5, 2008 if that one thing that we don't even want to think about happening actually happens... Some filmmakers in Pittsburgh think so, too.
