Awesome? I think so!

No one can deny that the mid-90s had the best kids’ television shows. They were the days of Power Rangers, Rocko’s Modern Life, Doug, and, of course, timeless kids’ game shows like Legends of the Hidden Temple (gooo Silver Snakes!) and Double Dare. Though, to be perfectly fair, Double Dare did begin in the late 1980s, but who’s counting? Good Charlotte is.

LOL!

Did you know it was even possible to win an Emmy for being in a commercial?  Even an epic one like the Old Spice ad?  I didn’t!  Well…until now, I didn’t.

Turns out Isaiah Mustafa, better known as the Old Spice Guy, won an Emmy for the Primetime Commercial award.  Technically, the advertising agency that created the campaign, Wieden+Kennedy, along with the commercial’s director, Tom Kuntz*, are the ones who actually won and took home the award.  But, let’s be honest: no one knows who those people are, really.  Everyone is under the impression that the Old Spice Guy won an Emmy, and that’s all.

I don’t often post videos that parody artists, out of respect, I guess… no, actually, that’s not accurate.  I don’t usually post parody videos because they aren’t usually funny.  This one, however, most definitely is funny.  Plus it pokes fun of Ke$ha, whose appeal to the masses is one that I just don’t get.

In this hilarious College Humor video, a girl takes Ke$ha’s hit song, “Tik Tok,” and she changes the lyrics of it, calling it “Sing Talk.”  Brilliant!  It makes fun of everything that is wrong with Ke$ha’s song, and reflects about the phenomenon of it: why is this song popular?  How do people consider it to be “good” music? Why did she feel the need to misspell those two words so horribly?

There’s a new internet phenomenon/sensation that surfaced last week: two United States soldiers (located in Afghanistan at the moment) thought they’d unwind by doing a remake of Lady Gaga’s latest hit, “Telephone” (with Beyonce).

I’m not going to lie, this is pretty hilarious.  My favorite moments of the video are between 1:05 and 1:21 (which is gloriously repeated later in the video as well).  Seriously, if you’re having a bad day, just go watch those 16 seconds.  Thank you, soldier.

So now that everyone has seen the new “We Are the World” video, and everyone has an opinion…we can start to look at other reactions!  Even though there were dozens of famous artists who participated in the original video (and many are still alive/popular/performing), virtually none of them were called back to participate in the remake.  As Jimmy Kimmel says in the video, Lionel Richie even wrote the song, but he just took a back seat when it came to the 25th anniversary edition.

So Huey Lewis took a stand and decided to poke fun at the new version.  I have to say I really enjoyed watching this video.  We haven’t heard from Lewis in awhile but we all know exactly who he is (”The Power of Love” is still one of the greatest movie songs ever), and would have loved to see him in the new “We Are the World” video.  Past and present could have been combined really well– but, instead, “singers” like Miley Cyrus were invited.  Wtf?
