Here’s the cast of AMC’s Mad Men performing Rick Astley’s famous rickrolling tune “Never Gonna Give You Up” from clips in seasons 1-4. I’m always dumbfounded at the amount of time making a video like this must take. Also, does this genre of supercut have a name yet? It feels like it this, along with [...]

Wow, the new iPhone should be really handy for some people. This is how parody is done folks. Adam Sacks should be writing for SNL. [via kungfugrippe]

Eclectic Method pays tribute to the one and only Bill Murray in their latest remix. And, here’s a bunch of hard drives playing the Ghostbusters theme song. It’s as good as the James Bond version, but runs a little long. Made sense to throw these two videos together. [via laughingsquid&devour]

Well played parking garage door in Chicago, well played. I don’t know if it really does sound like “Bitches Brew“, but hey, I’m duly impressed there’s a door that can play Miles Davis. [via tastefullyoffensive]

PBS Digital Studios and Melodysheep have teamed up once again (Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross, previously) to remix yet another public broadcasting icon. Julia Child would have turned 100 on August 15, 2012. This video, which is considerably better than Sweet Julia Child O’Mine, “celebrates her wisdom, wit & superb kitchen skills”.

Adam Buxton teams up with artist Cyriak for his latest song that starts off innocently enough and quickly goes downhill. It’s basically an allegory for life. I’ve seen this on plenty of sites the last few days and finally decided to watch it. Glad I did. It’s totally worth it.

Today is Nelson Mandela’s 94th birthday. A video by Prezence Digital asks the complicated question: ”Would our nation’s father have spent 27 years in prison if he had access to the same technology, social media platforms, instant sharing apps, and global monitoring tools as we do today?” That’s a tough question to answer in a geo-political sense. [...]

Okay, I take it back. The Cookie Monster version was great, but this is even better. I can only imagine how much time and editing skills went into this Star Wars supercut of 2012′s standout jam. Bonus points for not cutting corners by using the same block of editing for each chorus. That’s just dedication [...]
