Tyra would be so disappointed in this model. She's definitely not "smizing." Actually, she looks completely dead in the eyes. Thing is, it's on purpose, if you can believe that. But one thing you're not going to believe is what this is an ad for. Make the jump and tell me I'm wrong!
It's not another song parody, but The Midnight Beast is at it again with a ridiculous little musical skit that's still awful funny. These guys are really good, and I look forward to more of these videos. And I've developed a bit of a crush on Ashley. Enjoy!

If you were a kid in the eighties, you probably had a Rubik's Cube, or one of the many spin/rip-offs. Personally, I could never solve the Rubik's Cube, so I much preferred the cylinder one or the pyramid. The pyramid-shaped one was much easier. The snake wasn't so much a puzzle as just something neat to play with. Anyway, I digress. What I've got for you this week is an ad to help make you the fastest Rubik's Cube solver in your school!
If you don't know who Jedward is... well, I can't help you. Suffice it to say that their cheese has made them unlikely celebrities despite their glaring lack of actual talent. At least it's only on the other side of the pond. But this video needs to make the rounds because their performance of "Under Pressure" is so BSC that it demands to be seen by as many eyes as possible.
I just have to wonder if Vanilla Ice thinks this is some kind of mash-up since as you know, that base line is totally different...

Even major corporations had some pretty odd-looking models back in the seventies, but this Morticia look-alike was featured in a rather low-budget ad for a product that couldn't be any cheaper-ass. Trust me. Make the jump and you'll see just how hard they're trying to sell this thing...
Okay, so you know that iPod Touch ad with the really catchy song about how "she's got me dancing?" Well, I found out that was by Tommy Sparks, and after being addicted to that tune for a bit, I investigated more of his music. But the song that I became hopelessly addicted to is this song by the band Filthy Dukes, featuring Tommy. It's called "Messages," and it makes me feel like it's 1985 all over again. Seriously. I can't stop listening to it. I'm afraid my iPod is going to stage an intervention any day now. So imagine my delight to find a video on YouTube! And despite the glowy mouth thing, I'll totally have some of whatever he's having. Infect me!
The Midnight Beast are at it again. If you liked their "Tik Tok" parody (I do — more than the actual song as it turns out!), check out their take on "Down" by Jay Sean. They also recently released their "Tik Tok" parody on iTunes, and are probably well on their way to a record deal at this point. Enjoy!

Oh sure, this cereal looks harmless enough. I mean, I guess it's a little creepy the way that King Vitamin is leering out at you as if to invite you into his sketchy lair. But aside from that unsavory character, if you make the jump, you'll see what's really wrong with this breakfast treat.
I don't know where this student production of Peter Pan was staged, but I would guess this had to be their opening night. And hopefully they were able to work out the kinks before any subsequent performances! Make sure you stay through all the chaos with the set to watch Wendy do her best impression of the chick from Paranormal Activity!
Okay, I know that "Single Ladies" got completely played out thanks to all the idiots lip-syncing and dancing the choreography trying to go viral on the interwebs. But I think it's been long enough now that it might be coming back around to being okay again, so with that, I offer you up this video mash-up. Also, it's brilliant. Please to enjoy!

You can already tell even from this cropped thumbnail that this guy is from the seventies. The hair's a dead giveaway. Of course, as always, there's no telling what you're gonna get when you click the link below to see the entire ad! Let's just say that it's what you might call false advertising...
In case you actually needed more proof that the Muppets are all kinds of awesome, I present to you this outtake from Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. While waiting for the next setup to be completed, Jimmy and his Muppet pals are just killing time when things get interesting. People breaking into song + Muppets = Gold.
