Loner freak out classic Taxi Driver gets the trailer remix action so popular nowadays. It talks right to our hearts... or at least it mans up to do so while glaring at itself in the mirror. Can you wait until someone gives us the inevitable Mel Gibson's Triumph Of The Will? We can't.

#5: One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.
#10: I bet when the Neanderthal kids would make a snowman, someone would always end up saying, "Don't forget the thick, heavy brows." Then they would all get embarrassed because they remembered they had the big hunky brows too, and they'd get mad and eat the snowman.

Poor Ask-A -Ninja is getting the high hat from recently spooked-by-NBC-nastygram video conduit YouTube, being hassled to remove videos which contain their own self-created content because it might, we guess, infringe on their own rights... iIf this were a Douglas Adams novel Ask-A-Ninja would now have to disappear in a puff of legal logic or something. Such zero-tolerance bureaucratic thinking is usually one of the last burps before the death barf of something interesting and the inevitable decline into something like what Napster has become.

DetroitWonk Ray offers some extensive background for this clip of Bobcat Goldthwait's recent appearance n the Jimmy Kimmel show, which makes the clip just that much better:
This week, before the Super Bowl, Jimmy Kimmel's show was broadcast Live from Detroit. This was because during an NBA Finals game last year, Kimmel made a wisecrack that it didnt matter who won the Finals because Detroiters would still tip over cars and burn them. He almost got his show cancelled because of that. This was him "make good". Well, the first night of his "make good" they had a raffle for open tickets for the taping. They gave out 400 tickets. But only 17 people could get in because of all the "friends" and "friends of friends" trying to enter. Needless to say, it wasnt a good idea to piss off 375+ Detroiters. We complained to the news media...and Kimmel offered us the ability to do a "show watching party" with him. This video is of that "show watching party" where he introduces the Director of the show, Bobcat "Police Academy" Goldthwait. Kimmel asks Goldthwait to "do the voice", and Goldthwait responds by calling "Jimmy Kimmel's a douche". He then gets beer for the audience...and asks the audience if they "got any weed". He's then informed that Detroit Police are in the room. Bobcat apologizes and says that "they're only kidding about the weed thing...we're sorry...we know where we are...got any meth?"Here then, is the clip:

We're not apologists for ABC by any means, but taste rather than political squeamishness may have had a wee bit to do with the ban-hammer in this instance.

Usually what happens is some producer or assistant or someone threatens to send us an advance copy of a TV show, movie, or piece of shit puppet show which they'd like to get a mention here on Screenhead, and we get all pokey-nipped at the prospect of free stuff, and then months go by and it never arrives, and we silently harbor burning hateful resentment towards, off the top of our heads, say, those worthless South Park cocksuckers. This is why we never review things.
Comedian Jim Gaffigan and/or his people broke the trend and actually sent us the thing they said they were going to send, a copy of Jim's new DVD due out shortly called Beyond the Pale, which is a stand-up performance from October 2005 in Chicago, and about an hour's worth of short clips and oddities as bonus footage. Thankfully this disc is completely hilarious and well worth the 11 bucks it's retailing for, as we'd hate to sully our first dalliance with payola by having to shit all over our free booty. The stand-up performance will be on Comedy Central this Sunday the 29th, the disc will be released Feb 7. The bonus stuff includes Jim's first shot at stand-up and some odd stuff not seen on his website (including footage of Jim doing a little publicity at a local news station, which features Gilbert Gottfried in a Viking get-up.. something we are forced to assume is shrewdly included on the disc as cheesecake masturbation material.)

Brian Sack has sold a pair of pants on ebay. Leather pants. To sell these very wrong pants to anyone able minded enough to be able to pay for them, Brian had to be clever. Brian decided upon honesty:
“You are bidding on a mistake. We all make mistakes. We date the wrong people for too long. We chew gum with our mouths open. We say inappropriate things in front of the wrong people. And we buy leather pants. I can explain these pants and why they are in my possession. I bought them many, many years ago under the spell of a woman whom I believed to have taste. She suggested I try them on. I did. She said they looked good. I wanted to have a relationship of sorts with her. I'm stupid and prone to impulsive decisions. I bought the pants."
This, we remind you, was a sales pitch. Brian goes on:
"I have not worn these leather pants for the following reasons: I am not a member of Queen. I do not like motorcycles.
I am not Rod Stewart. I am not French. I do not cruise for transvestites in an expensive sports car."
Read the whole thing here. The upshot is Brain sold the pants for 102 dollars, and received many offers from ad agencies to write copy, which if accepted will lead to an edless stream of helpful notes from those same agencies demanding that he stop doing the thing that got him hired.

Well, Stankervision's (the Damn Show packaged for MTV2) cancellation is official, despite its apparent degree of popularity. We didn't have a lot of trouble predicting the show's premature demise, Viacom loves to fake enthusiasm for edgy programming just long enough to give the impression of being risk takers, but any real support usual goes to safer fare like The Osbournes.
Stankervision was pretty great stuff in our opinion, if you missed it or just miss it check out a bevy of clips at iFilm, which has recently been bought up by MTV. We wonder if perhaps the Stankervision iFilm page heats up, MTV might try another mode of distribution. Larger companies are bound to ditch the futile attempts to dilute niche programs for broadcast and grasp some version of the concept of "narrowcasting" one of these days.

Pedro and Pablo Plantain rally support for their fight against the Sock Puppet Dictator in this tiny bit of oddness, one of the spots for The Kaiju Big Battel, a "live event series that revolves around tournament-style performances, which are a tongue-in-cheek hybrid of American pro-wrestling, Japanese-monster-movie mayhem, and lowbrow pop-culture " - basically guys in rubber outfits going at it like a pack of skinheads on an emo kid. Kaiju.com offers up video of the tournaments, and it hints at being a whole cutesy fight club sort of a thing, and there are bits of pseudo-Japanese video oddities aplenty at the site.

Monkeytown U.S.A is a bit from a never-aired comedy pilot for F/X called Harsh Reality, a fake news show in which we learn the value of monkey confinement.

Harsh Reality comes to us from Russell Arch, who we've mentioned before.

Cracked Magazine offers us a few long forgotten bits of movies which are on double super secret probation. For example, this revealing bit of The Karate Kid:
DANIEL: Mr. Miyagi, I need you to teach me karate. These guys at school keep bullying me, pushing me around.[MIYAGI pauses, then sits down. DANIEL sits as well.]
MIYAGI: No worry about other guys, Daniel-son. Only worry about you.
DANIEL: That's what they tried to do with Hitler, push him around, and look what he did. He came back and proved them all wrong. That's what I want to do.
MIYAGI: Daniel-son?
DANIEL: You know, in the beginning Hitler wasn't all bad. Quite the contrary. He just wanted to fix up Germany's roads and hospitals, and help the oppressed German people. In a lot of ways, Hitler was a great man.

So, last week we linked to online food slingers Kosher.com and the Flash cartoon on their intro page, which is one of the more catchy grabs for attention that we've seen on the web. Unfortunately, in the post we snarked that the food put us off. Kosher.com decided to smother our jibe with kindness in the form of a ridiculous bounty of goodies, the likes of which which we can't possibly deny the high quality of. So then, what can we do but mention the site and their Flash toon one more time, with the clear message of this post being twofold:
One - Kosher.com sends out undeniably high quality, tasty stuff, and
Two- We're as easily swayed in our opinions as any 5 year old might be with a simple offering of fat and sugar.

Vice Magazine offers up tips on how to kill your parents and get rid of the bodies, so that one might avoid the mucking about in court endured by the Menendez Twins. After a quick tutorial which amounts to "chop your folks up into tiny bits, and and dump them down the main septic pipe", which we found to be potentially useful, Vice offers this disclaimer:
"Editor’s note: Look, we heard about this method of corpse disposal from a friend of ours who was in jail and listened to two guys who were trying to impress everyone in the cafeteria by talking about it. We don't know how this could more clearly be a joke for us, but our lawyer thinks we could get in trouble if we don’t say it. So, readers, listen very carefully. This is a fucking joke. Don’t kill your parents, or anyone else, and don’t chop up their bodies. We are just riffing around with you here. Be good."
we're not going to tell anyone what not to do; we don't have a lawyer and we're sick of there being like fifty people on line every time we try to use the express lane at the food store. Also, we wonder if it's possible to sharpen the edges of an ice cream scoop.

Napolean XIV's (Jerry Samuels to his mom and dad) novelty freak out tune They're Coming To Take Me Away has inspired a lot of covers, versions and mutations over the years, the daffy paean to having a blown mind has kind of a Louie Louie looseness to the lyrics seems to inspire that. Napolean Complex, a collection of 21 international versions of Napolean XIV's 1966 hit single is a collection of some of the better ones, and WFMU is hosting mp3 files of it. We kind of expected Lard to do a version, but we had no idea there was a band running around with the handle "Snopek and The Unexploded Bomb." Great stuff.

A little Panathinaikos Bear Flash strangeness from Fat Pie.

Biscuit Filmworks' fun little ad for the Hummer H3, in which a Godzilla knock-off and an Iron Giant knock-off have sex and then give birth to a bouncing baby... replacement wang for a selfish douchebag with a tiny doo-dah. Yes, we know that's a fairly cliche description of Hummer owners, and the instant we see something to offer any kind of a contrast, we'll stop pointing it out. This ad surely ain't it, but it is fun.

Evidently there was an ad with a hamster in plastic ball being kicked bout, and this was allegedly upsetting to someone.
"Hamster ran nationally as a viral directing UK footie players to the Powerleague website. No hamsters were harmed in the making of the film, but the lead actor did stub his toe on a coffee table."
Bonsai Kitten it ain't. We doubt anyone but the most eager to be offended took this for anything besides an ad, but judge for yourself.

Great take on those Flash games where you're stuck in a room and you have to tediously find things to eventually engineer and escape. In Aliens From Planet Dave, you're trapped in the bathroom by invading aliens after your biscuits, and you have to quickly find things with which to kill them. Plenty fun, and it cleverly uses photos and video along with hilariously crappy animations.

An odd and frankly adorable Japanese commercial for tea, featuring stop motion caterpillars which appear to have The Whammy.

A stop motion short in which Se7en comes to the Smurf village. A clip from the Adult Swim show Robot Chicken. After you watch the clip, read a Screen Savers interview from February with the Robot Chicken Guys in which they describe the creative process behind the show.

The latest short from Goodie Bag cuts right to the chase and gets to business with DVD copy protection: your own free FBI agent with every movie purchase.

Mitch Benn And The Distractions present Everything Sounds Like Coldplay Now: a fine goof on one of those bands that we don't like, no one we know likes, can't find anyone who will admit to liking, and yet they sell billions and billions of records every second of every day. Somewhere, Gwyneth Paltrow has a closet ready to explode open in a shower of crappy CDs.
Mitch Benn And The Distractions - Everything Sounds Like Coldplay Now
From the upcomming album "Crimes Against Music."
The pilot episode of Nology's nerd skit humor/ review show. Includes a "useless" movie review of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Family Guy Reenactments Gone Wrong, how to beat a kid at Halo, and a look at japanese film Kairo.

A fine PSA for a fine product for the City Of angels, one that if it were real would make our lives considerably easier every time we get visits from census takers.

We love Amy Winfrey's Gorey-esque Flash toon Making Fiends, even if our dyslexic lead chip-munching brains are in the habit of inadvertently calling her work "making friends." There have been a few updates since we checked in last December; the most recent, number 19, rumors of Charlotte's demise are exaggerated, and she is rescued using the same screwy physics seen in The Pirates Of the Caribbean movie. The merits of concrete shoes are also examined.

The other half of the Sneeze interview with the less biker-looking .5 of The Mythbusters, Adam Savage. Harsh fan criticism, how long Adam could survive in a fight with Jamie, the greatest toy ever invented, and if Godzookie was not actually Godzilla's offspring but in fact a rentboy are discussed. Well, not that last one. Good show idea, though.

Sort of a shameless crowd pleaser to the CG animation crowd with both broad humor and insidery jokes about animation software, Ming-Yuan Chuan's funny CG short Cubic Tragedy was a big winner at the Siggraph 2005 Computer Animation Festival . Watch it in multiple formats.

This clip should be a pleasant stroll down memory lane for those of you who, like ourselves, remember MTV's animated show Clone High as a all too quick bright spot on an otherwise increasingly lame network. Or Tom Green, for that matter. MTV can kill anything, can't they. Anything but Carson fucking Daly. Clone High disappears like a fart in an elevator full of Sumo wrestlers, but Carson is doing fine. Thanks, MTV.

A few words from MySpace user Hotsauce on Kitchener Ontario rap act un blanc First Blood and their single Young And Corrupted:
"Wow i cant believe you are serious... you guys are 2 and 1/2 white kids from canada. you are probably the whitest "rappers" ever. first your talking about how good you are at rapping, then you talk about golf."

Warning: the song starts playing all by itself. We'd tell you to prepare, but we're realists.

The Touchdown Principle, a short clip in which sketch comedy group Elephant Larry takes a peek inside a young boy's dreams of football domination. Not the porno we're making it sound like, but amusing all the same.

"An animated film a day for a year. How hard can that be?" Sounds like an epitaph doesn't it. So far its not, it's merely Scott Bateman's mission statement for his site Bateman365, The America's Next Top Model's Elyse Sewell edition of which made us laugh.

What was the spark on the dry tinders that set Rome ablaze? Corruption? Indulgence? Largesse? Fear?
Possibly, but we're willing to guess that it was four chicks having a slumber party.
The Slumber Party [The Variety Shac]

Stop motion short A Problem Shared seems Arctic animal pals Frank, Ozzy and Spike out on a trek with hopes of figuring out some relationship woes. More than a little influenced by Nick Park, Trevor Hardy's surprisingly good three minute amateur animation clicks along quickly.

Fabulous scans of a DeMoulin Bros. & Co. Fraternal Supply Catalog from 1930. "Fraternalism supply" being mostly gag devices and such for lodge organizations and fraternal orders, the sort of things drunken men did before internet porn taught them the joys of the goatse photo. A Spencer gifts from 80 years ago, really. Check out the hilarity of the Ferris Wheel Coaster Goat, the goofy Guillotine, and our favorite, the Electric Carpet.

Unfortunately not the porn it sounds like: Monty Burns himself, Harry Shearer, slips into the oily hide of the slightly less old and roughly the same level of evil pride of The 700 Club, Mr. Pat Robertson, to briefly speculate on who else could use a little righteous "taking out." Not really our given "beat", but we couldn't resist the "removed with extreme, but merciful, prejudice" line. Plus, the reactions of some of the HuffPo readers not hip to the spoof factor doubles the funny.

A rather spiffy protest against The Supreme Court's tacit approval of the Boy Scout's anti-Gay bigotry within the James Dale Case. The images on the patches include pussies (kittens, not the Fleshbot kind), burning fags, a restroom girl image with a European "non" slash through it, some sort of cock-like thing we don't want to understand and more.
You know the sash you sew these into doubles as a napkin? Ha-ha!
Sorry.
Thanks to Rubin, who told us no less than four times in his mail that he wasn't gay. We'd like to assure Rubin's mother that she'll appreciate adopted grandchildren just as much as the other kind.
Scratch is Jamin Winans' short film in which DJ Scratch (played by real life wheel peeler Hayze II) drops from the sky, finds the people in downtown Denver screwing up their lives in the usual human ways, and turntables the universe back into shape like Superman did with his backwards earthspin. Scratch has to take a few whacks at it, and medium level hilarity ensues.
Scratch [Double Edge Films]
Dane webster's animated silent film short in which an addlebrained Shakespearean actor gets all the help with his lines that he'll ever get.
Oddly satisfying if you've ever been forced to witness one of Kenneth Branagh's hours-long film versions of the Bard against your will.

Roberto Parada paints fantastic cartoony portraits of celebrities, often seen in entertainment magazines and the like. Here he is doing the reverse with Homer Simpson.
This thing, and we say this with all due appreciation of a great piece of pop art, gives us the motherfucking creeps.

"Intelligent Design" finally broken down into something we can understand, in this fairly genius and really funny bit of impromptu comic mongering. God's kinda wacky, you know? He's completely wrestling with his medium.

Hey Brad is a goof on those IBM "tech crisis" commercials, in which an armed and disgruntled employee discovers his place in the natural chain of workplace distress.

"So I'm at work and me and a co-worker are bored. We're prank calling the geek squad and recording the funny ones."
Pretty great MP3s ensue.

Co-Eds With Colds: "The Sickest Girls On the Net." Tissues, hot girls (102 hot), and spewing fluids have never been so not at all erotic. Good porn is where you find it we guess; a little goofing from the much linked Goodie Bag TV.

Turnpike films' famous 2003 fake ad for Nutri-grain bars. If the Nutri-grain people really made their commercials this funny, well, they'd still taste like little slabs of horse vomit.
