The Firesign Theatre (well, three of them - this was during a period without David Ossman) does the J-Men Forever treatment again on an old movie serial, transforming some of the Commando Cody epic Radar Men from the Moon into "The Last Handgun on Earth":
Continuing the "gun" theme, an animated flash video by David Lynch for a new instrumental by Moby, "Shot In the Back of the Head":
Continuing the "animation" theme, an early piece of animation by The Church of the SubGenius' Rev. Ivan Stang back when he was still Douglas St. Clair Smith, "Reproduction Cycle Among Unicellular Life Forms Under the Rocks Of Mars" (very influential on me when I was doing some clay animation at NYU):
And on the "Art School" theme, Father Guido Sarducci explains why YOU should become an artist in this promo for the San Francisco Art Institute:
And on the . . . uh, I dunno . . . "jobs" theme, maybe (I'm stretchin' it here to make the conceit work, I know), here's a German film about safety in the workplace, containing that fine sense of German humor we all know so well. Some places list this film as a "parody" of instructional safety films, which it somewhat is (it's more one made with humor and to be over-the-top), but it's actually used in classes and workplaces -- please meet "Staplerfahrer Klaus" (that is "Forklift Driver Klaus") on his first day of work:
And just jumping themes completely, here are two videos of cute cats, one a tough little kitten, the second, a cat just back from the vet and still coping with being sedated:
Which video did I pick?
