Screen Junkies Honest Trailers series takes a swipe at The Martian, and they make fun of the fact that Matt Damon constantly needs saving, so much in fact that it could be a whole subgenre in itself. He’s always being rescued and many of those times he’s been lost in space too. But that’s not the only thing they rip on.
And by help what they actually do is have a lot of fun with one of Conan’s staffers who’s learning to drive. They don’t so much teach her as give her incorrect driving tips that will be no good when she does her test, then set about gatecrashing a weed store and going for some fried chicken.
Brian Andrews’ short animation Hominid imagines a bizarre world of flying human forms and giant human spiders, that are presented as though you were watching the video with x-ray vision. Meaning you can see through these creatures and peer into the skeletal workings that go on under their bizarre exteriors.
The Northeast coast of England might not be the first place that comes to mind as a surfing hotspot, but the sport is very much alive there, as this seven minute short film shows. Packed full of fascinating imagery and recollections from people who have lived and played in the area, it’s a glimpse into the surfing culture that’s specific to this place.
Another year is under way and hopefully French prankster Rémi Gaillard will have another year of pranking fun, just like he did in 2015. If you missed his videos from last year or just want to spend five minutes laughing out loud, then you can watch all that Gaillard had to offer the world in the form of dressing up like a giant dog and other stunts.
We’ve all got embarrassing stories from our past that make us cringe if we recall them, but most of us don’t go around telling the entire internet. But most of us aren’t comedy rapper Lil Dicky who here recounts his worst story ever. It happened when he was in 11th grade and involved girls and pooping his pants.
The music video for DJ Snake and Lil Jon’s “Turn Down for What” is a pretty weird video WITH music, as it featured a guy gyrating around and smashing stuff up with his groin, but take that away and a video that was already pretty weird becomes something altogether freakier, like next levels of freak—but it’s also very funny too.
Shia LaBeouf’s ‘Just Do It’ was a big meme of 2015, but it’s got some life left in it yet, because Mashable have decided to redub LaBeouf’s intense and inspirational monologue with an 8-year-old kid’s voice. And while the intensity is dialled down a few notches, the video is no less inspiring.
In South Korea there’s a whole subculture devoted to “food porn” where men pay to watch women eat food. That is, of course, weird enough already, but to make things extra weird is Showry, the YouTube star who satirises food porn by filming herself writhing around in ketchup and all kinds off edible goods.
Comedian Elizabeth Zephyrine Mcdonough has a lot of questions, questions that maybe Ask Jeeves could have answered, if it was still around. Questions about gig and RAM and email, which she thoughtfully poses before coming to a profound realisation, which is that the internet sucks compared to something she calls “real life.”
Drinks beers and shift gears. Adam Sutherland from Muscle Vs Tuner does a spot-on satire of fanboy car fanatics which any car lover will find amusing. Sutherland’s car in this video, he’s previously spoofed other types of car owner, is the “badass panty droppin” 2002 WS6 Trans Am with LS engine.
