Undertaker PSA – 1993
I was watching some old WWF Raw and came across this little gem. I can’t say I disagree with the message but the delivery could have used some work.

#WilkinsCoffee – My new favorite commercial series of All Time
Before Jim Henson was Jim Henson he had a career in marketing. According to Muppets Wiki: In 1957, Jim Henson was approached by a Washington, D.C. coffee company to produce commercials for Wilkins Coffee. The local stations only had ten seconds for station identification, so the Muppet commercials had to be lightning-fast — essentially, eight […]

How I Vine
I got a good question today about the process I use to make Vines. Here’s a high level overview: Capture: VHS to DVD – Funai (I also do have a secondary VCR for watching tapes while I rip) Upload Vine Client – This tool uploads videos directly to your Vine account (Without the little hiccup of […]

#LooneyChron and Race – WARNING – Article will contain images not suited for Minors
So when I began my journey with #LooneyChron I had seen some of the “Banned” videos on YouTube – and assumed that they were just one-off episodes that were written during a bygone era. I had NO idea how deeply rooted the racial, economic, gender, and cultural stereotyping would be. For the purposes of brevity – […]

Girl Saves Boy – Stevie and Zoya
So Viner TheCrypticProse pointed me toward Stevie and Zoya today – and life forever changed. This is a series of shorts that aired on MTV produced by Joe Horne in the late 80’s. It is awesome. Youtube Links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FOfhO8C4ww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezgjoOjbnVI

#JamesBrownFutureShock – A Celebration of Coked Out 70’s Funk
For my money there there are only two entertainers that can be considered the greatest of all time. The King of Pop…. and the Godfather of Soul. Now being a great entertainer does NOT mean that you should host your own Soul Train style dance show. #JamesBrownFutureShock is a complete clusterfuck of a television program and […]

#DriveInTime
So in my collecting I’ve really developed a soft spot for Americana. One day when I was digging around Archive.org I found a reel of old Drive In Intermission footage. Through the years I’ve specifically sought this out and have also found some stuff that is not available (yet – see Refreshmentacidtirp.org ). I’ve had a […]

#LooneyChron – An adventure in Animation History!
So I’ve always been a huge Looney Tunes fan. As a kid in the 90’s Nick would play the original Looney Tunes shorts all the time. It has a very special place in my heart. Over the years I’ve been collecting the highest quality copies of these videos that I can find. Blu Ray, DVD, […]
