Found by a friend, 12 years old but still fun in an inexplicable kind of way: a deer wizard explains how to build an owl theremin (2 minutes), then demonstrates playing it (1m). (Note: the owls are wooden. No real owls are promised, nor harmed.)

Back in October 2022, there was linked a fancomic where Frasier and Niles tried to hide Maris' (partly) accidental murder from Lt. Columbo. It's now been voice-acted (not by the original actors of course) and put on Youtube. (12 minutes)

Note: The comic in the first post was on Twitter. It's also on creator Joe Chouinard's website, so I linked to it there. I try not to link to Twitter or Reddit now unless absolutely necessary. Also from Joe Chouinard, you might enjoy: - Niles and Crane in Bloodborne - the residents of Springfield participating in a fighting tournament - and the ongoing series Clown Corps, about crime-fighting clowns

The following message is for workers from the planet BARBARBARA currently stationed on EDITÉ-FRIGNIM or "EARTH." It's by Peter Serafinowicz, and it involves our fantastic plans to construct human replicas and Eiffel Towers. Now, stand by for our fantastic leader, ARPOOVIAN SHEBBER-SHENTY!

. . I was sure I first saw this video linked from Metafilter, but a search didn't reveal its post. I had figured that it probably got hit by an account wipe. Which would have meant that it's no longer a double, thus there was no reason not to post it again! But... on preview, the old post did turn up, from EXISTENZ IS PAUSED here. Thanks, wild E.I.P.! So, this is a double, but it's a double after eleven years, so I'm posting it under the recently relaxed attitudes towards ancient doubles. It's another classic by Peter Serafinowicz, and it's been lodged in my brain since I first saw it. I still often can't resist playing it at MST Club.

A cursed movie intermission reel from Peter Serafinowicz. (3 minutes)

Tales In Mushroom Village is a Chinese computer-animated TV series from 2009. It's considered partly lost media. 2009 was 15 years ago, but that was the year Pixar's Up came out, and Toy Story was 14 years old by then, so the animation can't be that bad... right? Here's a trailer (2 minutes). Two compilations have been uploaded to Youtube (A, B, both 1h40m, Chinese with terrible English subtitles) How long can you survive them? There's also a trailer for a sequel series called Tales In Mushroom Village II: Alien Visitors, which you'd be forgiven for thinking was a completely different bad CGI thing edited into the original, but its oh so all too very much real.

I won't mince words: it's baaaaad, y'all. But it can be enjoyable to watch bad things, if you're of a certain diseased frame of mind. I have had that illness for a long time; maybe some of you are sufferers too. Each of the two long videos has five episodes. Things to look/listen for in the first episode alone: Disturbing character design throughout "What a bad lucky day! You will be accused by me." Unexpected cameos by Zelda music Unnecessary transitions in a shot, to the same shot Four Chinese sentences that get translated into "Ugh..." The ice cream cone that becomes a banana in an edit The door step that's clearly too tall for any character to climb "Bad brother, compensate us..." "Mum, he must compensate us." Endless rabbit whining Rabbits here have tapering tails instead of cottontails Baby rabbits suddenly spinning around the Fox elder's head Sheriff Volcano-head "Village head, my grandpa has said the misunderstanding is the devil! Or you'll be the devil!" "I have heard that impulse is the devil." Naonao sleeps at night resting stiffly on his bed in his clothes with his baseball cap over his face "Get up everybody...! Do cleaning...!"

Whether you're a wizard looking for a dark lair or a dragon needing a place to hoard gold, sorcerers and monsters alike need the Dungeon Flippers, fantasy real estate agents Maulie and Cleaveland. It's a new cartoon by Travis Fowler, and the pilot episode, "The Ace of Wands," is on Youtube. (17 minutes)
