I knew the comedian Rodney Dangerfield was old... but I didn't realize he was discovered by William Shakespeare. Ba-dump-bump. No Respect!

 

Wallstrip's Lindsay Campbell Dating Video

9/8/2008

Lindsay Campbell is an internet celebrity and was the host of Wallstrip, a business satire news show. Just imagine if the Daily Show's John Stewart or the Colbert Report's Stephen Colbert was replaced by a hot young actress... Ah, I digress...

In this mashup, her daily lines are taken out of context to provide this raunchy appeal for some lovin. While this was provided by the folks at Wallstrip themselves, it was interestingly released just before she left the show.

This political mashup by Philip de Vellis was a brilliant use of Apple's 1984 Super Bowl ad and Hillary Clinton's droning monotonous voice. It portrays her as part of the establishment and Obama (supporters) as the new voice of freedom.

South Park Brown Noise

The Star Ship Enterprise made its first appearance in 1966 in Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek. It has been redesigned, refitted and reincarnated in a variety of subsequent movies and TV series. The Starship Enterprise is almost certainly the most well known space vessel in science fiction.

In this mash up, things get messy when the Enterprise is caught in a time warp, flung to 21st century earth, and buffeted by South Park’s deadly Brown Noise, "a certain pitch that causes people to lose bowel control".

South Park, of course, is an award winning, animated TV comedy series. It is in its 12th season. South Park is known for its satire and its willingness to take on any issue. Some have called it "the most philosophical show in TV history."


 

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Auditions for American Idol

8/22/2008

American Idol is a television phenomenon. It has described itself as "the best platform for new talent in television history" - and this is no groundless boast, given its consistenly through the roof ratings. Season Five, for example, was the number one television show of the year on Nielsen Ratings, as was Season 4 and Season 3.

Simon Cowell, among the American Idol judges, is by far the most harsh in his criticism of the show’s young hopefuls. In this mashup, Mr. Cowell disses the wrong contestant when Buffy the Vampire Slayer auditions for American Idol.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, created by Joss Whedon, was a highly successful TV series which ran from 1997 to 2003. It enjoyed a cult following. Buffy was played by Sarah Michelle Gellar.
