Game Grumps - Zelda's Adventure

The Game Grumps are currently in the middle of an exciting "Zelda's Adventure" playthrough. If you've never heard of ZA, it's the third Zelda game released for the failed Philips CD-i game system. The Zelda games for the CD-i are widely considered to be the worst of the Zelda series and "Zelda's Adventure" is supposedly the worst of the three.

In this episode, the Grumps face the evil foe Lort. Remember the memorable character Lort? Lort, from all your Zelda video games? Well you're in luck, because you're going to get to see him one more time here in this episode.



Good Lort.

Late Show - Fun with Rupert Compilation

The classic Late Show bit: Rupert Jee walks the streets and says and does whatever Dave tells him to say and do.

Towards the beginning, Dave frames it as a "sociological experiment" but is usually more to the point: it's "just really annoying people."

The "it was my thumb" line is one of my favorite moments in Late Show history.



When I first saw this bit, it was thrilling and hilarious and amazing. For some reason, it isn't quite that anymore. Maybe the world has changed, maybe I've changed, or maybe it's that I know how it ends (the video at the end of the clip).

Regardless, there's not a day that goes by that I don't want to see the jazz box.

Tonight Show - Will It Hot Dog?

Rhett, Link and Jimmy ask the age-old question, "Will it Hot Dog?"

Thunder in Your Heart

It may be the greatest combination of all-time. I'm so excited, I'm posting this before the video even ends.

Norm Macdonald Live - David Letterman

Well I advertised that it was coming so I may as well post the end result.

Let's start with some warnings first.

1) There's nothing tooooo amazing or revelatory here. It's a fun and interesting conversation to watch it if you have a free hour.
2) Everyone is complaining about the extreme closeups. Maybe listen to it as a podcast.
3) You got in-show commercials in addition to youtube ads. Shouldn't it really be one or the other?
4) Luther Burbank was a famous botanist who developed many new varieties of fruits and vegetables.

First Drafts of Rock: Blowin' in the Wind

This is a cute one for all the old people. Peter, Paul and Mary's first draft of "Blowin' in the Wind".

I assume it's coincidental that Kyra Sedgwick is playing Mary Travers (being Kevin Bacon's wife) but man, she is a dead ringer. I would never have guessed.
