Re:View - Popeye

 


This is labelled as re:Visit not re:View but I don't understand the difference.

I have no opinion of "Popeye." I may have seen it but I'm not even sure about that. But this is just a great discussion about an interesting movie, if you're into that.

Yet More Tom Myers Jokes

 


I worry that in the current state of  things, my blog might become too Tom Myers heavy. There are two forces at work: I'm not finding a lot of good videos and I can't get enough of Tom Myers' unique brand of nonsensical non-humor joke product. If it's too much, please forgive me.

I also get a kick out of the blunt thumbnail. "What do we want to say about Tom Myers?"

"Tom Myers Stinks." 


Late Night - Mel Blanc

 


Nothing crazy, just a classic interview with the best voice actor of all time.

The Music Genre That Is Specific Situations

 


Here's a new genre of youtube videos that is also (arguably) a musical genre: songs/videos that are very specific situations.

For instance, have you heard "It’s 1993 and you’re in a hotel pool (Vaporwave Mix)?" That's the video above. I like this song because I remember being in a hotel pool in 1993. But don't confuse this one with "It’s 1994 and you’re in a hotel pool." Those are two different years and time waits for no man.

But then you might also check out "It's summer 1989 and you're cruising in Los Angeles."

Or how about "It's sunset in 1991 and you're on AOL (Vaporwave Mix)" I'm not sure anyone was on AOL in 1991 but the spirit is right.

Another thing I've never experienced but am curious about is "It's 1985 and you’re at the beach on summer break (Synthwave Mix)."

On the other hand, I do remember "It's a Friday night and you're at Blockbusters", I've just never heard the song.

And the same for "It's summer of 1995 and you just came in from outside".

And so forth.

Now, one of the rules I have about declaring a new youtube genre is that the videos have to come from more than one channel. I was thinking that confirming such a thing is nearly impossible because how do you search for this as a category? 

That being said, the "summer 1989" video above is from a different channel than the rest. That's technically sufficient. I've also tried searching for "vaporwave" and there are a few other channels so I'll say it's legit.
