No Laugh Track for Old Men

No Laugh Track for Old Men

Adding a laugh track to Pulp Fiction actually seems kind of appropriate. But what about when you add it to the Coen brothers’ modern Western tale? It makes Javier Bardem’s hair way funnier. He’s still creepy though.

HYT Skull Watches

HYT Skull Watches

If there were ever a wristwatch made for supervillains, it’s got to be this timepiece from HYT. Made from black titanium and gold and filled with fluid, which flows around the skull to indicate the hour. No minutes, but who needs those?

The Fast & The Mysterious

The Fast & The Mysterious

Kim Jong-un’s The Interview

Kim Jong-un’s The Interview

It was bound to happen. YouTuber MrStratman7 made this parallel universe trailer for the infamous comedy movie. The only thing he got wrong is that Kim Jong-un would probably want to play himself in the movie.

Animator Johnny Woods specializes in primitive computer animation. This short film he made for Adult Swim’s Off the Air puts his technique to hilariously effective use. Because world class athletes are not entirely human.

The Porsche 918 Spyder is a cutting edge supercar, but many of its parts are still put together by hand. You might want to put on some music while watching, ’cause it seems like a librarian oversees Porsche’s factory.
