Words to the wise, faithful reader. Words to live by.

“Han Solo shot first. I don’t want my son growing up in a world where we believe Greedo shot first.”

Whatever it takes to get this idea that Jar Jar Binks is cool out of my son’s mind, I will do it. If it means dressing up as Binks and scaring him in the night, I will do that.

Mid-Afternoon Theater Presents: Monster Factory. It’s Totally ‘Kunk!’

Posted by mistergroonk in Intertube Madness, Just Freaking Neat on October 20, 2010

What is it? Monster Factory is a “character toy brand” based in Canada. The toy store appears to have been around since 2003 but the web serials(above) look to be something new.

What We Learned: Monster Factory was found by Harry Myland through the ads on his webcomic Nomad Tofu. Like Harry’s comic, Monster Factory is a wonderful thing. This newly minted web series(5 episodes and rising) looks to be a promotional effort. Gotta get the kids, young and old, to the store to spend that hard earned cash on some cute plush monster action. We’ve watched the series from beginning to end. They’ve worked their magic on us.

In the video above we’ve included the trailer and the five episodes. If you like quirky comedy where muppet monsters and people exist in the same reality, you’ll definitely like what they’ve got cooking here.

Rating: E for everyone. A rare occurrence for this site no doubt. However that doesn’t make it any less entertaining.

When to Watch: Next episode(as of this posting) is November 1st.

Exploring the Pitagora Suicchi

Posted by mistergroonk in Only in Japan, Video on April 27, 2006

The fine folks at Dattebayo piqued my curiosity. Instead of blindly grabbing it, I did an interwub search and discovered others were equally piqued. In doing this I discovered what was this mysterious Pythagoras Switch:

Update 4/14/2011: The You Tube of this is long gone. Thank Zod for Google Video.


math making NINJAS await you inside!

It’s dreadfully cute, if you like fan-subbed japanese kid science shows. The rube goldberg devices at the beginning, and during the middle of the above, are charming as all hell.

That algorithm march in the above amuses the piss outta me. There are few things in this world that aren’t enhanced by adding ninjas. I dare you not to get that march song in your head

I double dare ya.

And the little square dog made me smile.

The less amusing Part 1 is after the jump.
