Awesome Funny Stuff
Funny: Vampire Reunion
Blood may be thicker than water, but with family members dabbling in synthetic blood, interspecies dating, and cereal sales, we’d just as soon get back in our coffins after this Vampire Reunion.
Trailer: Zombie Tycoon
Available on 10/29/09 on PSN: Zombie Tycoon is an undead remix of Rollercoaster Tycoon for the PSP where you’ll control three zombie squads as you terrorize 10 puzzle-filled cities.
Video: Happiness Hat
Coming to a customer service desk near you, the Happiness Hat is disturbing yet awesome: a servo motor moves a metal spike into the head whenever it notices you’re not smiling.
Dethklok x Brutal Legend
Best product tie-in ever: Eddie Riggs makes a cameo on Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse, moonlighting (of course) as a totally metal roadie for Dethklok — well, everyone but Murderface.
BD: Mel Brooks Collection
Three years after the DVD release, The Mel Brooks Collection comes to Blu-ray with one ludicrously schwartz-filled extra: Spaceballs; you’ll get nine total films plus a collectible book.
Blu-ray: Inglourious Basterds
Inglourious Basterds’ not-so-merry band of Nazi hunters comes to Blu-ray 12/15; it includes a roundtable with Quentin Tarantino, gag reel, alternate scenes and a digital copy.
When Galaxies Collide
Spitzer Science Center’s When Galaxies Collide may be cheesy, but Felicia Day rocks as she dismantles the brainless Hollywood-ization of science; bonus points if you catch the Whedon quip.
Map Marker Death Tee
This Map Marker Death t-shirt pointedly shows the hazards of overly augmenting reality; up next: street view dude’s mangled body found flying across random street intersections.
Funny: Batman Vanishing
The Dark Knight wasn’t always the invisible predator we know and love today: Batman Vanishing shows our favorite vigilante crusader in his early (and considerably less stealthy) days.
xkcd: Farewell, Geocities
xkcd bids a fond, blinking farewell to web hosting service GeoCities by redesigning their entire site today; so long, and thanks for all the animated gifs, comic sans and broken links!
Video: iPhone Costumes
Made with $2,000, two 42″ LCD TVs, and crapload of fingerprints, John and Reko’s iPhone Costumes actually work–they’ve modified their iPhone 3GS to allow live dual image output.
Shooting Target T-shirt
Wearing a bullseye on your chest may not be very smart, but we still like the tongue-in-cheek (and fingers-in-ear) appeal of this Shooting Target tee; it’s based off this poster.
Home, Jeeves T-shirt
Getting stranded on Earth apparently runs in the family: long before E.T. found himself stuck with Elliot, E.T. Senior finds himself in a similar predicament with this Home, Jeeves tee.
Back in the Game: Hazard
Funny: Evil Genius Bar
Apple’s in-store tech support is well-known for being maniacally bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, but they meet their match with the Evil Genius: show up five minutes late, get vaporized.
42 Essential Plot Twists
It’s not quite as comprehensive as the Sci-Fi/Fantasy Generator, but 42 Essential Plot Twists scores points for its twisted creativity–helpfully illustrated with equally twisted drawings.
DVD: Almost The Truth
From lumberjacks to knights, Monty Python: Almost The Truth squeezes 40 years into 8 hours; it interviews all five living members plus modern comedians like Jimmy Fallon and Seth Green.
Lightsaber Laser Pointer
Because even Sith Lords need to do PowerPoint presentations: these Lightsaber Laser Pointers are available in Vader and Maul styles, perfect for pointing out, say, two-meter exhaust vents.
I Love XKCD
Based on the “xkcd Loves the Discovery Channel” comic strip, I Love XKCD will fill your heart with geeky love; it’s a bit short, but Olga Nune’s performance makes up for it.
Funny: Link’s Distractions
Slightly NSFW: Watching the Legend of Link’s Distractions, it’s a wonder Link ever got anything done; then again, chasing chickens may have less to do with ADD than a lack of free will.
UFO T-shirt
A story as full of hot air as Balloon Boy was destined to become a meme, but this UFO t-shirt by Glennz is the best Mylar mashup we’ve seen by far; Unidentified Fake-Out, indeed.
I Told You I Was Freaky
Some say it’s not as strong as Season 1, but Flight of the Conchords’ second season still split our sides; I Told You I Was Freaky includes notable classics like Sugalumps and Friends.
