Check Out This Star Wars-ian Elevator Prank

Josh Wolford — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 20:47:12 +0000

The last batch of elevator pranks we’ve seen have been, well, incredibly terrifying. Elevators are great places to pull off pranks – they’re small and operate with an impending sense of doom. Really, they feed a whole mess of different phobias.

This elevator prank is a bit more light-hearted. It just involves two guys, and a clever illusion. Simple. Beautiful.

Josh Wolford — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:08:51 +0000

I hate laundry. You hate laundry. It’s not that we hate washing our clothes or anything – it’s just the folding part that’s so terrible.

Well, here’s a 2-second shirt-folding tutorial to help. Yep. Two seconds. For faster laundry. Or, you know, you could employ this technique to help out your local clothing store workers. Whatever fold you’re doing when you try on a shirt and attempt to put it back in the shelf – well, it’s not working. It’s actually quite terrible. And they know who you are.

Seriously, it works. And it’s awesome. Lifehack+1.

Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’ Remixed for Different Musical Eras

Josh Wolford — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:15:03 +0000

If Daft Punk were time-traveling robots (and who’s to say they aren’t), and they composed the hit song “Get Lucky” in the 1920s, or the 1960s, or the 1980s – what would it have sounded like?

Well, particularly awesome in the ’60s, ’70s, and the ’80s.

Here’s what Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” would have sounded like if it happened to be written in other eras – from the 1920s to the 2020s.

Brian Williams Is ‘Rapping’ Again – This Time It’s Warren G’s Regulate

Josh Wolford — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 21:10:04 +0000

I’m pretty sure that if that whole newsman thing doesn’t work out, NBC News anchor Brian Williams could have a promising future in the rap game. Jimmy Fallon has a good bit going here, and we’re glad to see him following up on the Brian Williams/Snoop Dogg rap from earlier this week.

This one’s even better, as MC Williams tries his hand at Warren G’s “Regulate.”

I was unaware that Brian Williams had a reason to say “skirts” that much, but I won’t argue with it.

Check Out This Heart Attack-Inducing Anti-Drunk Driving Ad

Josh Wolford — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 14:03:34 +0000

A terrifying new anti-drunk driving ad from Leo Burnett Worldwide is turning heads. The ad features “unsuspecting” men grooming themselves in a public bathroom, only to be greeted by a face crashing through the mirror – complete with blood and all.

The ad is part of U.K. Department of Transportation’s THINK! campaign against drunk driving, which will also put out radio ads, posters inside bars and pubs.

Check it out:

“Drink driving is a menace and drivers should be clear that if you get behind the wheel over the limit this summer, you will lose your licence, get a criminal record, and face a fine – you could even end up in jail. Nobody wants to spend their summer in a prison cell so whether you are drinking in the pub or at a friend’s barbeque, make sure you do not drink and drive – it could have devastating consequences for you and for others,” says Road Safety Minister Stephen Hammond.

That stern message, coupled with this absolutely heart attack-inducing advert is sure to make people think twice about getting behind the wheel after a few too many.

About a year ago, PBS Digital Studios broke the internet with their auto-tuned remix of classic Mister Roger footage entitled “Garden of Your Mind.” It was the first in their “Icons Remixed” series, and PBS later put the autotuner on other PBS mega-stars like Bob Ross, Julia Child, and Reading Rainbow’s LeVar Burton.

Today, Mister Rogers is gets another remix. A sequel, or “b-side” if you will.

Like the first PBS Icons Remixed featuring Mister Rogers, this one comes to you courtesy John D. Boswell, aka melodysheep. Check it out:

Long Snappers Can Make Cool Trick Shot Videos Too

Josh Wolford — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 16:10:06 +0000

Zach Smith is a senior at Menlo School – a prep school in Atherton, California. He’s set to attend USC next year and play football. He’s just put out a trick school video showcasing his skills.

Oh yeah, and he’s a long snapper.

Sure, any quarterback or 3-point sharpshooter can make a trick shot video. But a long snapper? That’s something we haven’t seen before. Watch Smith accurately knock bottles of fire hydrants, make shots into trash cans, and nail his cameraman buddy in the nuts:
