Because The Dude abides, this is the 1/6 scale Jeffrey ‘The Dude’ Lebowski figure created and sold by Sideshow Collectibles. The Dude stands 12-inches tall on a base featuring his coveted rug’s pattern, and includes a white v-neck t-shirt, sweater, pants (they should have gone with his patterned pajama bottoms),
Because nothing quite says gangster’s dreamworld like a resonant transformer producing high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity, this is a video of Coolio’s 1995 banger ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’ performed by a trio of Tesla Coils.

This is a video of a tuxedo cat clearly having an existential crisis in front of the mirror. The minute-long video also has a twist ending. My existential crisis? My existential crisis did not have a twist ending. I was worried my life had no meaning, purpose, or value, and
This is a side-by-side comparison of the music videos for Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ and Weird Al Yankovich’s ‘Eat It’. Unsurprisingly, the ‘Eat It’ video is nearly identical shot-for-shot.
