This is a 1977 television commercial for the original Star Wars film focusing on the romance between Luke and Leia. In hindsight it seems super creepy, but Luke and Leia being siblings was never part of George Lucas’s plan when the movie was made. Or even when The Empire Strikes

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 demonstration of a driveway turntable (aka car turntable), designed to be able to turn a car 180-degrees so you can pull forward into and out of a driveway with no need to reverse onto the street. The car turntable was inspired by railroad turntables, which were

This is a video of Mark Rober discussing and demonstrating the five-years-in-the-making robot he and his team built that’s capable of setting up a record-breaking 100,000 dominos in 24 hours. For reference, it takes an experienced team of seven a full week to set up the same number of dominos,

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.
