Awesome Glove And Boots

Glove and Boots‘ Bay Ridge boy Johnny T may not be too happy that New York and New Jersey are collaborating on Super Bowl XLVIII, but he’s still gonna tell us all about the game – and all the jerks who could afford to go freeze their butts off.

We enjoyed the version of Space Oddity that astronaut Chris Hadfield created; somehow, though, Mario and Fafa have made it even sweeter by including themselves – and a Rocket Man cover – in it. (Thanks John!)

2013 is nearly over, and it’s time to review the best and the worst of what the year had to offer. Let’s turn it over to Blake and Bungo – a couple of monkey puppets – to recap the year’s top events… and JCVD’s top splits.

Mario and Fafa set out to create the absolutely worst top ten list of all time, somehow managing to fill five minutes of our time explaining their favorite numbers between 0 and 9, inclusive. Our fave? We plead the Fifth.

There’s nothing worse than Internet trolls. But if Mario and Fafa are to be believed, we’re all somewhat guilty of baiting people into traps from time to time. Think about it. Without some level of trolling, we’d never have pranks like these.

The Glove and Boots gang busts out the Beatles classic All Together Now as they exercise their musical chops once again. Though they seem to lose their way somewhere along the way. We dare you not to bob your head from side to side.

Halloween is almost here, so you’d better be ready to take on all the goblins and monsters soon to be roaming your neighborhood. Mario and Fafa are here to teach us how to survive. Wait. That’s not what this video is about?

Our favorite new character on Glove and Boots whips out his tracksuit and gold chain once more to give us a quick tour of his home town, along with some pointers on life in the Big Apple’s fast lane. Mmmm. Dirty water dogs.

Mario and Fafa put to the test the first-world problem-solvers found on late night television. Ok, they’re not exactly Consumer Reports having a gorilla puppet use these things. Also, Johnny T would be the perfect pitch man.

Johnny Depp has said that he’s thinking about retiring sometime soon. Mario and Fafa present 10 reasons that the man of 1,000 characters needs to remain in the workforce. Tim Burton needs you!

Puppets are human too make mistakes too. Mario, Fafa and friends clown around even more than usual in this amusing reel of bloopers from the hilarious Glove and Boots series. This makes us want to see a behind-the-scenes reel now.

We have a renewed interest in live musical theatre now, thanks to the emotive puppetry and laugh-out-loud song lyrics here in Wolverine! The Musical. And it’s all dreamed up from Glove and Boots. (Thanks John!)

Mario, Fafa and Gorilla debate which sport is most likely to do you in. We’re going with 1970s hockey. Did you ever see Slap Shot? We’re sticking to ping pong and foosball for now.

If you believe Joseph Campbell’s Monomyth theory, most narratives follow a similar “Hero’s Journey” structure. Here, Mario, Fafa and Johnny T explain how the theory can be applied to everything from Star Wars to Happy Gilmore.

Two thumbs up for Mario and Fafa as they do their best to review the big summer movies of 2013, without actually having seen any of them. We sure hope they’re not right about Thor 2.

Glove and Boots introduces us to a new character, Fafa’s annoying, stereotypical cousin, Johnny T – who happens to be a toad. We’re not sure how that works, since Fafa is a groundhog. Watch. Learn. Boom. Done.

Mario and Fafa give us a multitude of reasons why time travel may not be such a good idea, but it looks like whether we’re coming or going, it’s pretty darn amusing. (Thanks John!)

Ok. Let’s say, hypothetically, you’re not up for working right now, for whatever reason. Take a 2:11 break and watch this “Gorillage People” medley from Glove & Boots. You’ll forget anything you were just stressed out about.

Mario and Fafa dig through the darkest corners of the Internet looking for the ultimate web oddities in 10 Things on the Internet That We Don’t Understand. They make a good point about the Facebook “Like” buttons on Myspace.

Glove and Boots aren’t just here to entertain. They’re here to educate. Here, everyone’s favorite snarky groundhog teaches us how to use Photoshop CS6 properly. Grab the tutorial files here.

Mario and Fafa sum up the worst lists of top 10s they could find on the internet. The top 10 Pixar movies list is classic. And yes, every item on the Taco Bell menu is the same 6 ingredients.

Mario and Fafa explain everything you need to know about SPAM, and teach us about junk mail (not potted meat products) and the origins of the unwanted stuff that clutters all our inboxes.

Mario and Fafa debate the pros and cons of the Olympics, along with the veritable explosion of new events and media coverage in recent years. And they have a proposal for how to solve the problem.
