WebTV: Orange vs Apple | Trailer of the year | How to lose fans and alienate people
Instead of the Picture of the Week (which, I admit, has become more of a picture of the quarter), let’s do a little round-up of videos that have kept me entertained this week.
1. Comedy: Nerdy Five a Day
Okay, Annoying Orange is a bit pointless and kind of…well, annoying – but trust me, walking down the fruit aisle in your supermarket will never be the same again.
Knife!
2. Movies: The Oscars are so yesterday (plus I can’t be bothered to blog about them)
Quite simply the smartest and funniest pop culture spoof I’ve seen in a long time.
3. Music: Retirement should be obligatory
I used to have a lot of respect for Meat Loaf’s work, up until he completely missed the point where it would have been appropriate to take a bow and say goodbye to the business (or at least to any attempts at singing live) a couple of years ago. And now along comes this first single from his new album, which seems to promise, above all things, that the story is set to get yet a bit sadder.
Cheesy pop song aside – WTF is this video?
a) A showcase of the latest collection of pimp suits
b) An episode of Scrubs gone very wrong
c) Police Academy 8 (gone equally wrong)
d) A desperate PR stunt aiming for media attention and a week or two in the album top 100
Feel free to throw in your own suggestions.
Oh. Ye. Gods. What the heck is wrong with Meat Loaf?!
(The rest of the vids deserve a big yay though.)
