david hasselhoff. eating a hamburger. visibly drunk. being filmed by one of his children. wearing blue jeans. and no t-shirt. sound kinda weird - like a crazy dream? well, it is weird and it’s definitely not a dream. and yes, of course, there is video (this is the full video, sans commentary). other vids here and here too. oddly enough, this performance by david hasselhoff is considered sober. crazy. so yes, it’s friday, and no fancy black trans-am can save you now. i blame garthe knight.

it’s friday & i am going to have to hit the gym now after watching this über pumped up video by german electro pop band deichkind (link contains embedded audio). power up! you can do it! touch yourself! please watch ‘Ich betäube mich‘ (links to quicktime) which means ‘you’re doing great!’ directed by Alex&Liane. director of photography by christopher häring. lots of in-your-face beefcake + infomercial + WTF video goodness. seems even better that i can’t understand what is being said - all i get is the raw power! giantmonster wants to know why tim biskup’s helper monster is running around in the background? that seems to make it more strange though, so all is well. thank you claudine for the link!
it’s a war of the gargantuas! or to be more specific, a very heated shouting match between the gargantuan fox news political assholes bill o’reilly and geraldo rivera. complete with aggressive finger pointing! and grand-standing! wow. i find myself agreeing with geraldo (did i just type that?) though it’s hard to hear him with the loud sounds of bill o’reilly losing his mind throughout the clip. and yes it is a treat to see bill o’reilly wound up as tight as winnebago man. between geraldo & bill, i can’t tell which is the green gargantua or the brown gargantua. luckily, there is video provided below so you can decide for yourself.
Bill O’Reilly Loses His Mind
War of the Gargantuas (1966) - English Trailer
i guess these sort of things just happen when you buy a samurai sword and a high speed camera. slow motion tomato slicing with a super sharp samuri sword at its finest. if you hate tomatoes, this may thrill you to no end.
from 2006 and still very cool. a great animated piece directed and animated by jossie malis at zumbakamera called bendito machine. very well done. dark & a little twisted too. watch it. you will like it.
it’s friday - what the hell are you waiting for? it’s high time for bukkake! you know it. bukkake milk that is. celebrate the moments of your life with o-so crazy japanese make-believe commercial parody of cultural nonsensical crazyness. totally! feline disrespect from behind, indeed! in the future, all commericals will be like this.
wanted: a cat that attacks news reporter. any reporter will do. if such a cat is located, please contact .. oh wait - attack cat found! never mind.
are you drinking non-organic milk or eating non-organic dairy products? please stop. chances are the milk and dairy products you are consuming contain a gift from monsanto (the makers of round-up, agent orange, and nutrasweet /aspartame) called rBST - or Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin (also rBGH). and you should avoid anything with rBST like the plague. although legal in the united states, rBST has been banned in the EU, canada, japan, and other nations due to tests that show it’s link to cancer. monsanto’s own tests on rats showed this but those results were excluded from the report to the FDA. and monsanto has gone out of it’s way to suppress that information, as well as suppress the labeling of milk & dairy containing rBST. please watch this youtube clip from the movie The Corporation titled Fox News Kills Monsanto Milk Story (embedded movie below). more info at alternet.org and foxBGHsuit.com. more about the absolutely evil monsanto via the organic consumers association website. avoid any dairy with rBST. support organic dairy farmers by purchasing organic milk and diary products.
wow. the 2007 san francsico pillow fight held on february 14th was a total feather inhaling blast! for those of you too busy to have fun (meaning: why you gotta go and miss the pillow fight?) the giantmonster staff went to great efforts to over-document the event. please take a look at our flickr set titled pillow fight san francsico 2007 containing no less than 304 photos (yikes). even eeyore got in on the pillow fighting action. so much fun! and there’s video too (posted below). other sites for great pillow-fight recaps: laughing squid, somegirlwitha, the pillow fight club sf flickr pool, & meshmagazine to name a few.

in light of the current and growing fake news reports and bogus claims to hype up and ‘justify’ a new war with iran, please be sure to watch this amazing video by margo guryan titled Margo Guryan / 16 words. brilliant animation and political commentary. these are the same 16 words from bush’s 2003 state of the union speech to justify a war with iraq. lies, lies, and more lies.
from the beautifully twisted wonder-showzen (and i suspect the same smart & twisted minds that animated the extra special he-bro) comes a new sheriff in town. half wino + half machine = 100% winobot.
wow. amazing. incredible. i am clearly not using my brain enough or i have devoted too much of it to remembering movie lines from star wars (actually, both are true). stephen wiltshire is an amazing individual and accomplished artist. he is also autistic and in the world of savants, he known as the human camera. his first words, spoken at the age of 5, were ‘pencil and paper.’ watch this clip of stephen wiltshire drawing the city of Rome, Italy from memory. just from memory and after only having seen Rome from a 45 minute helicopter ride. drawn in 3 days as a panorama on over 5 yards of paper. accurate down to the windows. fascinating. what a gift! here’s an additional clip of stephen wiltshire drawing the city of tokyo just from memory (clip of drawing rome embedded below).
feeling the frost? the freeze? the winter? the chill in the air? i don’t know about you, but this weather lately … it’s been very … um … how do you say ? … kKOHLDdd. yes.
how do you deal with a truly bullshit media circus? the same media that gives a cake walk to our political leaders on pretty much everything but gets irate when their own dumb dialouge and faux discussion format is spun back at them? simple: talk about hair. just hair. and take talking about hair seriously. very seriously. then watch the press get mad. brilliant. i love these guys! also, does this look like a bomb to you? then how about this? ‘dude, there’s a light-up LED thingy with a bit-map character flipping me off on the overpass … must be a terrorist bomb plot.’ are we that far gone? then we have become too paranoid. or is only the city of boston (or boston’s mayor) that lame? good photo gallery of the event. and a great video of the making of the LED signs on youtube too. the hair-raising press conference is below.
it’s is friday. full week. time for another dose of video insanity showcasing spoken word singing (a.k.a. bad music). combining chain smoking, baldness, a slow & steady zoom-in, kojak floating in space, a giant blonde women’s loving gaze, full body tan, creamy, hushed speaking tones, shirts with no buttons, & the art of soft focus - it can only be telly savalas singing ‘if.’ don’t watch this if you are high - you will implode.
wow - i have been going to the bathroom all wrong these last 30+ years. at least that’s what i get from watching this animated japanese instructional video on potty training called how to poop. there are no songs nor any signing, i do not teleport onto the toilet seat like this animated kid does, my feces and urine do not laugh and smile back at me, no sound effects to alert me of impending bathroom trip, and no pinata breaks open after i take a dump (well, maybe it does somewhere in the world, which is kind of nice when you think about it). be sure to watch for the live action segment at the end - grunting never looked so cute. watch. learn. enjoy.
my friend daniel shot some great surf video footage at the beginning of this year in oahu (that’s like, hawaii, yo). it’s being featured on surfline dot com (currently the top requested/most watch video too). here’s a link to the video page - and also a direct link to the just the video (so you can skip ads). edited and put together rather nicely with music by Balkan Beat Box. congrats daniel!
hammering another nail in the spoken word coffin of self expression comes a lethal, full force, wide-collared dose of 1970’s william shatner acting/singing ‘Taxi’. serious. powerful. enlightening. watching this, i realize this is how i must come across to my friends when I smoke a lot of pot & get really high. they may actually be having a conversation, but i just keep going on & on about a taxi ride or my own random tirade like some guy at a bus stop talking to pigeons. wow. i see my future in this youtube clip. therefore, it is good.
from the twisted visionary comedy geniuses of wonder showzen comes an equally twisted cartoon that pushes the envelope funny using racial stereotypes and 80’s cartoon nostalgia. plus it’s just dumb too. can’t beat that. please watch the 2 minute short called he-bro! wonder showzen, what do i love you so?
i never new i had a deprived childhood until now: my mom never made me squirrel melts! why?! from a show in canada called ‘huntress’ comes an odd video of a mom & son team killing machine with a taste for squirrel blood. once the ferocius squirrel is shot and brought home, mom then trades in her hunting gear for an apron & a cosby sweater and cooks up some squirrel melts! squirrel melts .. you must try them. warning - you shouldn’t watch this clip if seeing a squirrel get shot and then cooked bothers you.
this next clip doesn’t have to make sense. it just has to be … be weird, be silly, be possibly the gayest thing i’ve ever seen. yes, all of those things. combine care free + tassles + spandex + headband + mullet + moves and you’ve got dirty cowboy! awesome. it just may warm your heart to an intensity the likes of which you’ve never experienced. and you’ll find yourself asking ‘why?’ yet watching it again and again and again and again …
really great and slightly disturbing animation called idol. created by run wrake. great 2-D style animation using classic schoolbook illustrations. found via the motiongrapher website.
oh boy! crazy antics ensue when the mighty thor, spiderman, sub-mariner, the hulk, and some other fellas throw a rockin’ pool party bash for professor xavier! awww yeah! it’s the most awesome superhero birthday party evar! woo-hoo! bar-b-que, beer, leotards = party! soo rad, and soo hot, with just a touch of gayness. yes. please enjoy. and there’s other funny superhero youtube clips to see, like this not gay white hot superhero volleyball action and superheroes and their kids. thank you thank you blogfoot for the internet treasure! makes me wanna start up the superhero party website again …
in need of more turkish sci-fi adaptations? this time it’s not star wars, but rather star trek, or turist omer uzay yolunda. that roughly transaltes to ‘we just ripped off classic star trek.’ almost unwatchable yet miraculously & simultaneously watchable. seems to be several star trek episodes rolled into one, featuring the gayest captain kirk ever. special!
so, what happens when you let all your albums sit around for a really long time, unplayed & unloved? the album cover artwork goes on a rampage and attacks other album artwork in your collection. it’s true! watch the super rad battle of the adbands. created by uglypictures and animated by man VS magnet. excellent! link via motiongrapher website and found with a hefty tip from brad (thanks again brad!)
huh. wow. yeah. so, if you live in texas and you are caught in possession of 6 or more dildos, that is illegal and you are considered a felon. learned that by watching the dildo diaries (thanks brad for the link!). in texas, having 6 or more dildos means you have intent to distribute. yes, dildos. clearly a dire act, worthy of a felony charge. but, if you have only 5 dildos, you’re okay. 5 dildos or less means you are merely a hobbyist. a collector, if you will. actually calling a dildo a dildo in the state of texas is illegal too. you’d best call it an educational model to be safe. somebody laugh, please.
seems to be a rash of bollywood viral clips these days on the internet. why stop now? this thursday morning it’s music video VS music video here as the bollywood magic and blatant rip-off that is indian thriller goes up against the highly powerful and original michael jackson’s thriller. takes more than just red leather pants to pull this off. who will win? your comments decide. it’s always fun to see the culture you grew up with repackaged. right on time for halloween too. indian thriller via it’s a mad mad mad mad blog (thanks russ!).
