Yum: Glazed & Amazed on the ampm Secret Menu

‘Glazed & Amazed’

Yes, it’s real. And it’s spectacular. You take an ampm Sausage, Egg & Cheese Croissant and switch out the croissant with glazed doughnuts. It’s all part of the new Secret Menu campaign our team at Ogilvy just launched. Pretty much a big invitation to come up with your own creations and try something new. Go nuts.

Baby Moustache: “I Was Drunk” by Riva Starr / Noze

I’ll be honest, I simply cannot stand ads and videos with dancing babies. Even worse, talking dancing babies. Not. For. A. Second.

But these babies have moustaches. So I can stand it for about 30 seconds. (via Whiskerino)

WTF: Naked Hay-Bailing Jackass

Why isn’t he cut to shreds? Better yet, why the hell is he naked? You’re both right.

And yes, it has to be fake. Either way, epic bail.

Beer + Hot Lava Rocks = Dr. Klankenstein Stein Brewing

Who (else) knew lava rocks had such magical powers?

Brooklyn’s Sixpoint Craft Ales, that’s who.

Apparently the ancient beer masters would use 1000 degree lava rocks to make beer. To resurrect this ancient art, called Stein Brewing, Sixpoint partnered with The Museum of Modern Art‘s adjoining restaurant The Modern. Then they got Aaron Ekroth to help tell the story. Beautifully, may I add.

NSFW: Tron-a-Sutra

There’s nothing sexier than a glowing girl contorting with a double-chinned dude in his Tron Underoos … actually, everything’s sexier than this. But it’s my job to share it with you.

“Shot with a RED camera, After Effects, a Mac, and a couple crappy bicycle helmets.”

See Tron-a-sutra videos for 20 positions, including the 69, the lesser-known 68, the Sitting Bull, and the Pearly Gates. Get the full story here.

MANDOM: Charles Bronson Commercial Collection, Bonus Vintage Posters

Probably the most amazing series of commercials with the most amazing jingle in the world. Ever. There’s so much wrong. And so much right.

Even more amazing? When we stayed with my Sister In-Law in LA, her boyfriend Matt actually had a bottle of the stuff. It’s even got the jingle around the cap.

Now that’s a jingle, folks. If its melancholic nostalgia isn’t stuck in your head now, watch the rest of the series …

Whoa: Indian Pole Gymnastics vs. American Pole Dancing

You won’t catch Jason Bateman pulling off any of these moves.

• • • •

Diameter of Mallakhamb Pole:
55 cm at base, 35 cm at top

This Mallakhamb (‘Malla‘ means gymnast, and ‘khamb‘ means poles) vid has been flying around as much as the gymnasts themselves. With good reason. It’s crazy impressive. Though the flesh-colored pole is a little unsettling. Just sayin’. (Thanks, Mel!)

• • • •

Diameter of Stripper Pole:
5 cm average

They’re not strippers, they’re dancers acrobats, damnit.

While the girls win in the uniform department and degree of difficulty vs. size of pole, the Mallakhamb dudes win for their bizarrely mesmerizing, complex, and just plain odd See the rest »

Moustache: Questionable Grooming

[like]

Wonder Beard? Question Mark-Stache? The Riddler? Better yet, Shear Brilliance?

Whatever he calls it, let’s hope he brings it to Petaluma Whiskerino. (Thanks, Bob!)

Drugs: Ratatat’s Stock Footage Mindfork Music Video

As if stock footage isn’t creepy enough (B Roll‘s another story, however).

Director Carl Burgess scrubbed the Getty Images archives for tons of choice stock footage for Ratatat‘s new video, Drugs. But couldn’t just leave their natural creepiness alone. Oh no. (Thanks, Mike!)

Hear Ratatat on the Friday Five »

BONUS:

Made entirely from Predator clips, Ratatat‘s Mirando video by E*VAX.

Tron-Induced Flashback: The Black Hole (1979)

After seeing The Black Hole artwork in the Tron Comic-Con trailer I couldn’t help but pull this up …

I remember watching this as a kid in the Boulder City Theater (just outside Vegas), the same theater my great-grandfather helped build and later died in. No, not drawing any Flynn / Arcade connections. Just random backstory.

Anyway, the cameo’s no coincidence. Tron Legacy director Joseph Kosinski is signed on to remake The Black Hole. Why, I don’t know.

Whoa: Jason Bateman Strips in Orbit Dirty Shorts

Jason Bateman, I applaud you. Now put your clothes back on.
(Thanks, Mel!)

Stripclub patron: “Do you have a car?” Jason Bateman: “Barely.” No, I don’t know why this line made me laugh so hard but it does.
