There sure was a lot of junky cartoons in the late ’70s, one of which was Rickey Rocket, which appeared as a part of the Plastic Man show. Sort of like Fat Albert in space, this featured an all black cast with a homemade spaceship that had scruffy hair and a streetwise style. Some Wikipedia [...]

Stay Alive Commercials…Marble Fun Game From Yesteryear
February 27th, 2010 
rberry They just don’t make good marble slot hole games like they used to. I clearly remember this commercial being effective enough to make me ask for it for a birthday present. It was pretty fun, but my sister rarely wanted to play it , so like most multi-player games, it just sat in my closet. [...]
Updated Karate Kid Trailer (with fun bonus at the end)
February 24th, 2010 rberry As much as I don’t want to see a remake, this looks like a beautifully shot movie with charm to spare. If you’re jaded, just skip to the end and listen to the 2 second song clip that’s playing when Jackie Chan catches a fly with chopsticks!

Remembering Sizzlean
February 23rd, 2010 rberry Sizzlean was available for about 10 years through the ’70s and ’80s as a failed attempt to sell healthier “bacon”. But it tasted like salty play-dough mixed with SPAM. You can’t beat bacon for tasty salty tasty goodness. It’s too tasty to be defined. It’s like saying, “I’m going to be cooler than Fonzie!” Here’s [...]

2 Comments »Christian TV Show Gets Pop Culture Pranked
February 18th, 2010 rberry This guy reads an email tale of salvation that’s just the theme song from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, and a heartwarming tale of how a man named Ben Kenobi in Nigeria helped him see the light. Great stuff! And the host is actually rather adorable once he finds out he’s been had.
And he got [...]

February 14th, 2010 rberry Wow! This is pretty damn great. Even if you don’t know anything about the comic, I think you’ll admit this is very well shot, directed, and acted. Good work all around. Let’s hope the AMC Series is as good as this.

February 10th, 2010 rberry I don’t throw out the word “hilarious” lightly, but this is a pretty funny sketch from the folks at College Humor. The Marty McFly guy is dead on, too!

Karate Kid Remake Trailer
December 24th, 2009 rberry As much as my instincts tell me to hate this movie, the trailer makes it look pretty good. Jackie Chan is certainly a great choice for the new “Miyagi”, and I suppose having an actual kid instead of a 30 year old play the title role is good! Though, I’m pretty sure Karate is a [...]

December 1st, 2009 rberry This is so horribly shitty and unfunny I can’t believe it. Of course, that’s about every episode of Family Guy. The Robot Chicken guys already did this stuff way better, why are they even bothering? Oh yeah, it’s because Star Wars fans will buy it sight unseen and making lame Star Wars jokes is like [...]
