Goodiebag TV offers up the memorable bit of ye olde Kentucky Fired Movie. Not worksafe, yet still manages to be funny despite its years. The power of mashed-up boobs compels us.

An animated ad for the Superman brand Peanut Butter of the 80s. Superman is such a pussy in this. Must be all the sat fats slowing him up. Via Madona and the Superfriends.
Real Judas Priest fans know that they went right to shit after 1982's Screaming For Vengeance because that's when we arbitrarily stopped liking them and we say so, but that aside, these short television ads for 1985's synth-ifed album Turbo are possibly the greatest things we've seen since the last post we said "this is the greatest thing we've ever seen." By the way, did anyone not know Rob was gay before he announced it? Turbo has a giant angry penis on it for crissakes.

"The basis of this film by Jochen Müller, Jochen Lempert and Jürgen Reble is found footage from the French-Canadian feature film ‘Ville en flamme'. Before the pictures and soundtrack were reworked, the original footage was buried in the garden, deliberately exposed to bacteria and microbes, and copied when the emulsion began to liquefy. The dissolution of the images – that is, the visible decomposition of the layer of film bearing the pictures – provides a visual equivalent to the disaster that forms the subject of the original film."
In other words, the pitchers look reel purdy all messed up.

A Jim Henson-directed 1966 ad for Wilson’s Meats staring Muppets Scoop and Skip, both of whom passed away from massive strokes suffered shortly after doing these ads. Turns out foam doesn't break down saturated fats at all, they just sort of build up.

All things having to do with the trailers for spaghetti westerns-- commericals, bloopers, music, posters etc, and a fine collection of the trailers themselves.

"Between 1967 and 1979, Gold Key published 61 STAR TREK comics. Today's fans often overlook these stories, forgetting that they are part of the STAR TREK universe. While far from canon for a number of reasons, these adventures are every bit as exciting and fascinating as their television counterparts. Further, due to the age and demand of these thirty-plus year old comics, they are expensive and hard to find. This site was created to give everyone a chance to enjoy these stories again."

Consumerist hips us to this vintage video of competent, pleasant, non-hindered by whichever-mental-disability-makes-one-drool shopclerks. It's good there are tapes of this floating around out there, lets us know that such a thing is at least possible.
We thought Ringo Starr's crowning cinematic achievement was his star turn as Atouk in Caveman. We were wrong. Dead wrong. Here's the trailer (unfortunately all we can find) for Frank Zappa's brain-melted-from-touring 1971 flick 200 Motels. Along with Ringo, the film also features dead Who drummer Keith Moon as a hot nun, and the actual monolith from 2001.

So way back in ye olden days of 1995 or so, there was once, briefly, an unreleased Penn & Teller game for the Sega CD and 3DO home console game units. This was a characteristically quirky Penn & Tellerish meta-goof on videogames themselves, wherein you'd have to drive a bus through the Nevada desert in real time (8 hours of controlling a bus which veers to the right slightly with only desert to look at, a task which when completed scores you exactly one point) match wits with rival magicians Stinkburger and Rot, buy travel from Deborah Harry, fight a tiger with a nailgun, and so on. This game was saddly, in what was likely a fit of fanatical concern which likely caused at a least one accountant's head to do a Cronenberg, never released. Something Awful offered a torrent once in 2003, but it too sadly went away. Now Waxy.org has a torrent up, and if you download one goofy-assed snark on videogames in your life, this would probably be the way to go.
Read all about the game (with screenshots) at Something Awful, and then go to Wax for a torrent. You can find emulators to play the game on a modern whatever, but we don't know enough to give competent advice, perhaps Kotaku can help you there.

Bits of footage and leftovers from the original Star Wars film. The opening crawl reminds us of the Star Killer site, which offers up some early drafts of the script and a peek at what the movies might have been.
