Vampire Killars!



Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about!

Our good friends The Vampire Killars are a band of Romanian mercenaries who hunt vampires and ROCK OUT whilst doing so. Unless they're playing video games, which they do a lot.

Watch this, their first video for "Bad at Video Games," then head on over to the Official Vampire Killars Website to listen to all their other undead-killing awesome songs, like Blow Your Mind, This Rocks So Hard We Died, and (Scientists of the Future) Please Don't Blow Up the Moon!


ROCK!

It sucks, but in a good way



Sure, the Roomba is the robot housecleaner we always wanted, but...can you have sex with it?

No, thanks.

Screw the rubber-tree plant!



Ant #1:
Hey, guys! It's a giant cracker!

Ant #2:
Stephen Harper?

Ant #1:
No, no, an actual cracker...and it's huge!

Ant #2:
Well, what do we do with it? Bring it to the Queen?

Ant #1:
You bet! HEY GUYS! HELP US CARRY THIS GIANT CRACKER!

All Ants:
HOORAY!

3 Fast 3 Furious?



The YouTube page where I found this claims that he's going "290," but doesn't specify MPH or KPH. Not that it matters, that's f-ing fast no matter which system of measurement you look at it from. Not only is it incredibly fast, but this car is getting passed by other motorcycles!

I wonder where everyone's going that they have to drive so fast to get there. Late for church, maybe? Anybody got any better suggestions?

Kitten Wrestling



After last week's creepy alien clip, we thought we'd shake things up a bit with some CUTE KITTENS!

I know this nice old lady who told me once that the Secret to World Peace is more purring kittens. She felt this for two reasons:

1. In order to make a kitten purr you must engage in peaceful activities.

2. How can you be angry when there's a purring kitten around?

Makes good sense to me. Are you listening UN?

But, how do they TASTE?



Aliens scare me. Ever since I was a little kid and saw the movie Communion with Christopher Walken, those little bug-eyed thingers have freaked me out. (Though, maybe Christopher Walken had something to do with that.)

This seems to be taken from some kind of TV show. If it were real, I wonder why they'd feel the need to put creepy music on it. Wouldn't it be creepy enough as it is?

Also, it says they kept it dark for the sake of the alien. Mmhmm...Also hides details. It's the same reason everyone in the Matrix movies wears sunglasses. Telepathic communication? Yeah, mouths are hard to make believable on puppets.

But it's totally real!

I think they should get an, "Eh."



Canadian history comes alive! Sorta.

I'm not sure if this is a great video, but I am sure it's a good homework project. I hope they got a good mark.

Trebuchet Away!

Catapults!

Do you know what the world needs less of?

Castles!

Problem solved.

Love, Chemicals, and Frequency



I don't really know what to say about this one. I just wanted to include it. Call me sappy.

("Hi, Sappy!")

(Quiet, you!)

Para-SHOOT! SHOOT! SHOOT!



Ho. Lee. Shit.

Now, the two guys who crashed into each other were fine, it seems. In fact, once they cleaned their pants, they had a pretty cool story to tell for the rest of their lives.

But what about the third guy? He just gets to say, "This one time, I went base jumping and the two guys with me crashed into each other. Um...that's all." It makes what would have otherwise been a cool base-jumping story...well, pretty lame.

"Touch 'em all, Joe!"



Does it get any sweeter than this?

I remember watching this with my Dad in 1993. We jumped up and cheered in our own living room. My Mom, (who was uninterested in baseball and was sleeping in bed) came running down the stairs. She didn't do it because she was excited about the Blue Jays, but rather that she heard us raise our voices, and thought the house was on fire.

A World Series Pennant AND an un-burned house. What a day!

Is World of Warcraft better than sex? Apparently it is!

Love Gone Sour



Ah, to be in love. A great poet once said, "Baby, I've fallen for you like a blind roofer." How true that rings when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie.

The Soundtrack of our Darkened, Glazed-Over Lives



This guy's probably spent as much time learning that song by ear as I did playing Super Mario World...Which is a lot of time.

Pretty much all video games have music, and a lot of them have excellent music. What is it, though, about the Super Mario tunes that just seem to click with everyone and put a smile on their faces? I guess for the post-NES generation, video game music is the soundtrack of our lives.

Is that sad, or cool?

Tequila!



This is Mexican Story from the folks at URTV. It's the story of the "history of Mexico," including such notable historical figures as Antonio Banderas, Ritchie Valenz and Selena. And a hero named Dorito.

Rocket Man


As a little extra today, we thought we'd like to point you in the direction of Rocket: The Twelve-Hour Commute, directed by our very own Bryan Piitz from over at Chubby Productions.

Watch as Bryan tries to visit every single subway station in Toronto...in one day.

Will he succeed? Find out!

When NASCAR is too highbrow



This is a short clip from the 4-H Fair in Warsaw, Indiana. It's a demolition derby! I've never seen a demo derby in person, so this type of thing seems strange to me. What a waste. Homeless people could be living in those cars! How insensitive.

What I like the most about this video, though (and the reason I chose it), is the voices of the crowd watching the demo derby. Don't they seem just a little too excited compared to what's actually going on? Maybe it's the type of thing that you just have to see live to appreciate.

This is Les Insectes, about a man who loves bugs. Is there anything funnier than a french accent? The answer is no.

The Moon awaits our Astro-Men



This is a night time launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavor in 1998. It's pretty long, but it's interesting to see how the ship actually flies. Most of the time we only see small snippets on the news.

Although space shuttle launches may seem common by now, I sometimes get sideswiped by the notion that this thing is flying into fucking outer-space! Doesn't that blow your mind if you really think about it?

What have we done?



Generally, we here at VideoYeah like to show you clips that don't usually get a lot of play. But today, we've decided to show this clip, despite the fact that you'll likely see it everywhere very soon. We felt it was important.

Man, it's hot out.
