Honda: Stepping

Honda: Stepping

Kim Gehrig directed this wonderful spot for the new Honda HR-V, in which a team of talented steppers move and groove in perfect formation as the vehicle provides a central focus. While the compact crossover is surprisingly spacious, we doubt it really seats 40 though.

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

The Z5 Premium has a 5.5″ 4K display, which is such overkill that the media and even Sony’s own people can’t tell the difference between it and a 1080p screen. That said, it does have a 2-day battery life, 23MP camera, and waterproof and dustproof body.

Play 20 Back

Play 20 Back

A one-trick pony website that only plays music videos from 20 years ago. Whether or not you believe that that’s nostalgia’s magic number, it’s free, it’s fun and it’s more MTV than MTV. Remember MTV?

Snooz

Snooz

A mechanical white noise generator, aka a horizontal fan. Its pitch video is funny, but it all boils down to this: does the sound of an electric fan help you fall asleep? If it does, Snooz is for you. You can adjust its tone and volume manually or with its app.

HBO’s Sesame Street

HBO’s Sesame Street

Can’t Feel My Face: Dentist Edition

Can’t Feel My Face: Dentist Edition

Musician Andrew Huang made this clever cover version of The Weeknd’s Can’t Feel My Face using title-appropriate instruments – dental tools. He should think about doing a cover of Novocaine for the Soul using the same gimmick.
