Mark Hamill Works Jack In The Box Drive Thru Decades After Being Fired From The Job

Many Endor moons ago, Mark Hamill worked at a Jack In The Box, where he was fired for performing clown voices (presumably creepy ones unknowingly prepping for his future Joker voiceover work) in the drive thru. And now Jack In The Box has rehired him to work the drive thru in this commercial, bringing Mark’s relationship with the fast food restaurant full circle. How about that! You think they still paid him minimum wage? I’ll have a Sourdough Jack with curly fries, Skywalker!

Musician Plays Audience Like An Instrument

Musician Plays Audience Like An Instrument

This is a video of Jazz musician Jacob Collier playing the audience like an instrument. Apparently a lot of the people who attend Jacob’s shows are musically inclined themselves (Jacob is considered a musician’s musican), which probably makes such a feat a whole lot easier. Per one Youtuber explaining just what the heck is going on:

If you want a more detailed breakdown of the mechanics of the process, he starts off by dividing the audience into 3 sections one at a time just by pointing at them, and giving them a note. He points up the middle, then to his left, then to his right. He has perfect pitch, so he can just hear the correct notes in his head. The starting notes he gives are the root, third and fifth of a major chord, in this case, G major, G B and D. From there, he then points at a section or sections, and points up or down, and that section goes up or down one step of the major scale from where they were. Sometimes he controls just a single section, sometimes 2 at once. Usually both sections go in the same direction, but near the end, one section goes up and the other goes down. He’s literally composing this 3 part harmony in his head as he’s waving his hands. Every show he does this it’s similar, but each one is unique. This one is especially long and complex in comparison to some of the other clips we’ve seen from his other shows on this tour.

Fascinating. Personally I’m tone-deaf so you would not want to try playing me. I mean, unless you want to play a love game. They’re really the only thing I’m good at. You know, over the sweater fumbling, not being able to take a bra off without ruining the mood, that sort of thing.

Automated Onion Peeling Machine Peels Onions With Air

Automated Onion Peeling Machine Peels Onions With Air

This is a video demonstration of an onion cutting and peeling machine that automatically orients onions to horizontally cut their tops and bottoms off, then rips their paper skins off with a blast of high pressure air. How about that! And here I thought onions were all peeled by hand like I do them. I’m getting good at peeling and cutting garlic too. You know what the secret it? Cutting my finger right away so my girlfriend does it for me. She’s really got it down!

Cleaning Dirty Coins With A Powerful Laser: Pew Pew Pennies

Cleaning Dirty Coins With A Powerful Laser: Pew Pew Pennies

These are a couple Instagram videos of Flare Fabrications using a powerful burning laser to clean the grime off of a penny and dime, leaving a Mike Tyson style face tattoo on George Washing in the process, and cool guy shades on Roosevelt. Now I want one of those lasers. And not just so I can clean all my disgusting pocket change, but God knows how many butts these coins have been in. At least one, I do know that.

Lovely Acapella Cover Of The Thomas The Tank Engine Theme

This is a video of talented acapella group MayTree (previously) covering the theme song from Thomas & Friends. They do a splendid job, five out of five finger in the cheek popping sounds. You know, when I was growing up children’s programming didn’t have theme songs. As a matter of fact we didn’t even have children’s programming, we spent our Saturday mornings huddled against a rock wall hoping the sabertooth tiger didn’t venture too deep into the cave. Those cave paintings? They weren’t mammoths, I just really suck at drawing penises.

Dog Plays Connect Four, Rage Quits If She Doesn’t Win

Dog Plays Connect Four, Rage Quits If She Doesn't Win

This is a video of game-loving Australian Shepherd Spot playing a little Connect Four with her human and rage-quitting after her three-in-a-row gets blocked (valiant effort trying to cover the hole with her muzzle so the move couldn’t be made though). Honest, I don’t blame her, I do the exact same thing. My friends all call me a poor sport, but I prefer to think of myself as a spirited loser.
