Don’t Go Blaming The Kids Again

I’m having trouble deciding which version of the video for OK Go’s “This Too Shall Pass” I like better.

The original, live-action marching band version?

Or the insane Rube Goldberg version?

In the end, both of them are amazing, and both of them seem like they might have been equally difficult to pull off (admittedly for very different reasons). While I might quibble at times with the quality of OK Go’s music, these two videos (along with their “WTF“) just add to the esteem I hold them in for their innovative use of the medium. Plus, anyone who can pull off these types of amazing visuals in a single take deserves some serious credit in my book.

International House Of Peyote

Although experience tells me that only the truly fucked up willingly go to the International House of Pancakes (as an adult, I’ve been inside an IHOP exactly thrice, each visit more drunk than the previous one), I guess I’ve never given much thought to how messed up the establishment might itself might be all on its own. That is, until I stumbled across this brain-bending commercial from the 60’s, which plays out like an acid trip about a Waffle House for hippies:

Holy balls! That shit is Rooty-Tooty-Fresh-N’-Frightening.
