“You know, this jeans thing, this is years ago. Come on.” The outgoing US President Barack Obama once again reads from a heavily filtered list of mean tweets about him. Jimmy Kimmel Live’s segment has gone soft, but it’s still funny.

Spooky Club

Spooky Club

The members of an exclusive club attempt to pull off a big Halloween heist – as they try to steal the skull of the late, great Vincent Price. The latest short from Joe and Lloyd Stas is as offbeat and endearing as ever, though we think Spooky Club is missing one critical member.

Doctor Strange Weird Trailer

Doctor Strange Weird Trailer

You think you know how the world works? If you’ve ever watched one of Aldo Jones‘ Weird Trailers, you most certainly know to expect some strange stuff. It’s only more appropriate this time, since the lead character’s name is “Doctor Strange” after all.

Sexual Healing: Brass Band Cover

Sexual Healing: Brass Band Cover

A vibrant cover version of Marvin Gaye’s classic which will have you marching down the street, spinning an umbrella along to the Dixieland jazz sounds of New Orleans’ Hot 8 Brass Band. Go figure that the video was shot in London.

Waterjet Carved Jack-o-Lantern

Waterjet Carved Jack-o-Lantern

While we enjoy hand-carving pumpkins for Halloween, we’d be cool letting this 60,000 psi industrial waterjet cutter perform the task for us. The folks at the Waterjet Channel show how their cutter can crank out a jack-o-lantern in 30 seconds flat.

Star Storm: The Destruction of Father

Star Storm: The Destruction of Father

Auralnauts reinvents the story of Star Wars in this mock trailer which stars C-3PO (or is it Creepio?) as the main protagonist, chopped up from bits of the original trilogy, prequels, and a commercial for breakfast cereal (which we still have a box of in the Awesomer office).

So you’ve got a cool pen and it runs out of ink. You could just buy any old refill, or you could follow Everyday Carry’s advice to help you pick a great smooth-writing instrument that won’t let you down. Our inexpensive pick is the Pilot G2, but those Schmidt cartridges are fantastic.

Here’s something we never thought we’d see. Luxury and sports car maker Mercedes-Benz is showing off two concept variants of a mid-size pickup. While we’re not sure we’d want to take these trucks off-road and get them really dirty, they sure look pretty. Launching late 2017.

Shin Godzilla Destruction Reel

Shin Godzilla Destruction Reel

We had high hopes for Gareth Edwards’ 2014 Godzilla, but it had far too little destruction for a Kaiju flick. Japan’s Shin Godzilla makes up for that in spades, as is clear from this VFX reel from Shirogumi and StealthWorks, set to a soothing ambient soundtrack.

Street performer Ricky Syers gave his rocker puppet Chopsy a massive upgrade from its tin can drum set. The new kit looks so polished we can barely believe that it’s handmade. This would make for an awesome drum pad.
