To celebrate the 2023 Japanese Grand Prix, drivers from Oracle Red Bull Racing battled Scuderia Alpha Tauri competed in this Japanese game show.

From the late 1970s to the 1990s, George Lucas was featured in a number of ad spots for Japanese electronic brands Panasonic and Technics. On their own, the commercials are a little strange and awkward, but in the hands of editor Neil Cicierega, the weird factor just hit Level 9000.

He built the oven from scratch using sheet metal and hydroforming.
The scene in Breaking Bad, when Hector Salamanca dispenses with Gus Fring, is one of the most memorable moments in the entire series.
