Some talking dogs. The dalmation and last dog are particularly funny

OK.

What you need to know.

This is (another) a Japanese game show.

The object is to recieve your punishment in silence. It takes place in a "library". Cards are drawn to select the punishee. The punishment is on the notice board at the end of the table. It doesn't translate well all the time.

You CAN NOT fail to laugh at this one. I promise. If you tell me you didn't I will not believe you.

These aren't YouTube but they're worth a look.

Gi's us a wave Alf!

This one isn't funny. It's quite serious and powerful.
But I do think it is well done.

Can't say too much without spoiling it but the warning I got was "the film is aimed at 17 to 25 year old, predominantly male, young drivers. Depending on the 'flexibility' of your employer you may wish to watch this at home (however it was commissioned by an NHS Primary Care Trust so it does conform to standards of common decency!)."

I should declare an interest as I know the company that made it.

>>it was commissioned by an NHS Primary Care Trust so it does conform to standards of common decency

No guarantee at all, I'm afraid. I'd explain why I said that, but it would be whistle-blowing.

Oh go on. Let's have a scandal staring here and now.

I think "Mexican helicopter drags an object on a rope" could be more accurate.

Two guys create a big fountain show with nothing but diet coke bottles and mentos. Look at this and tell me science doesn´t kick ass:

For those who followed the Amiga Demo Scene, the following link needs no introduction. For anyone who didn't, this is all 27 minutes of LSD's Jesus On E's.

Sure it doesn't look like much now, but 15 years ago this was the business. Also worth noting that this originally came on two 880k floppy disks, the high quality DivX version of the demo that's doing the rounds weighs in at over 70Mb

Oh my god. I'd forgotten about those.

I seem to remember this one did the rounds on a floppy disk at school. I thought it was the coolest thing.

Spaceballs appear to be still alive, kicking and producing Amiga demos, their most recent dated only last July

Think the moon landings were faked? Why not ask Buzz Aldrin?
