Hip Hop Used To Be A Force For Good

Blog Dallaspenn.com scans the state of modern Hip-Hop through the ever-handy cultural microscope of classic Star Wars. The results will surprise you. Well, not all of them... thinking about it, 50 Cent does go through a lot of baby oil for a dude, doesn't he. In fact, we agree with pretty much all of this, now that we read it.

Time Trumpet

Sneak peeks at Armando Iannucci's new BBC comedy Time Trumpet. Explaining them would kill the fun, but they're absolutely not about meerkats, bondage, or Volvos.

Dr. Miracles

Currently on top at Channel 102, zippy medical comedy short Dr. Miracles is pretty hard to not enjoy.

ElmoGangsta

A more effective than you might expect mashing of Elmo and NWA's Gangsta Gangsta.

Better red than dead, yo.

Gates is an excellent driver

"This is Bill Gates before Microsoft was declared an illegal monopoly in 1998. In this video Bill Gates is apparently being grilled by a tough government lawyer. This video was thought to be scrubbed off the Internet after 1998 by Microsoft -- so someone must be an insider to get this."

We find these sort of Gates Schadenfreude videos particularly amusing in the morning when we're dealing with the joys of our fine windows-encumbered laptop and all of those nifty error codes it knows.

Must Love Jaws

Yet another one of those re-edits of an old horror movie to feel like a trailer for a saccharine feel good fest. This is one feels a bit funnier than some of the recent ones, however.

Ryan vs Dorkman

A way better than average lightsaber fight fan film between Ryan Wieber and Michael "dorkman" Scott, with little forum meta-humor thrown in. Via TheForce.net's Fan Films.

Trapped!

Bryan D'Alessandro's short film which deals with the hell that is the rodent problem we've all had to deal with at one time or the other in the big city: under-amused doormen.

Your name is Sputter Freesway. You are a streaker for hire.

VanBeater's frankly hilarious flash game of guerilla marketing in which you're a wily streaker taunting the local rentacops with your turgid ad space, considerable guitar playing skills, and general amour de vie.

The Streaking Game

Love and Taxes

Party Central USA's comedy short for the tax season.

Ya want purple stuff, Sunny-d?

The sunny Delight ad you weren't meant to see. Ever.

Speedy Pinata

"Created by the good folks at Wexley's School For Girls, produced and directed by the brilliant Tomorrow's Brightest Minds and starring some guy in a matador suit named Opus, this tells the tale of the worst pinata delivery man in the history of pinata delivery men."

Comedy is pain

Party Central USA offers up a peek behind the scenes of how sketch comedy comes together in a group:
