Purple Bigfoot Matress Cover

I have no idea how this commercial slid past me.  It's several years old, and I am just now discovering it.

I was going down a rabbit hole on the Internet and, as one would expect, a commercial started before the video.  But instead of the old keep clicking on skip till it goes away, I watched in what I could only describe as awe and bafflement.  I have just witnessed the Purple Protector Bigfoot commercial, and I don't care how old the damn thing is.  I have this compulsion now to tell people about it and show them.  Show them the pure insanity and hilarious commercial for a bed sheet protector.

Alright, so the first thing you notice is Mama Sasquatch and her son, Junior; a little person in a sasquatch costume that really looks so damn close to what Jack Black wore in Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny.  But it also makes me think of Chaka from the TV series Land of the Lost.

There is also Daddy Bigfoot who is busy trying to prove to the Bigfoot world that humans exist.  But that is almost a throw away piece to this awesome, nearly four minutes, commercial.

This commercial goes from weird, to funny, insulting Nickleback, a sorta graphic poo joke, and a cartoon dramatization of Bigfoot Junior peeing on bed sheet cover.  Oh, yeah, did I mention that this whole commercial is for Purple Protector; a mattress cover that is Sasquatch approved.

During the whole commercial it goes from the absurd and full circles back to being a work of genius.  No joke, this commercial is so wonderfully brilliant to me.  See for yourself.

Now for those who want to know the why and how. Here is a behind the scenes video on the making of this commercial. A lot of work went into it, and love. Glorious love.

The Most Amazing Toy Display You Will Ever Witness

God bless YouTube user sammyb7883 for uploading this glorious six minute and thirty for seconds of video of a He-Man toy display from 1986. Now what make this video go from cool to mind melting amazing, are two reasons; the first is that this display was handmade with some serious craftmanship and it is the He-Man Universe that we all wanted as a kids come to life!  Seriously, there is some model making skills that went into this.  I don't know who made this, if it was a team of people, or some guy from ILM on his day off.  Whoever worked on this, may the gods bless their children and their grandchildren. Okay, now comes the second reason as to why this whole thing is damn amazing; the diorama display uses a hologram technology to bring He-Man and and more to life!  I mean, you can seriously watch He-Man fight off the bad guys right before your eyes.  Now, this is all because thanks to a Pepper's Ghost Illusion.  The same thing that brings ghosts to lif...

The Monster Squad Now are Podcasting!

I have a top ten list if favorite movies from the 1980's that I often revisit and Monster Squad is very high up on that list.  Much like Ghostbusters and Gremlins, it is the perfect blend of horror, adventure, and comedy. Monster Squad, is like peanut butter and chocolate combined, it is a perfect blend of horror, adventure, and comedy.  There are only a few films that could pull that off.  It even has a line up of golden age classic monsters from the thirties to the fifties.  If you have not, you should watch it the movie just for that sole reason! So imagine my surprise and glee when I found out that two of the film's stars, Andre Gower and Ryan Lambert, are now hosting Squadcast; a podcast that is so far very Monster Squad centric.  It is like having an extended commentary track for the movie. Alright, enough gabbing.  Go here to download episodes or wherever you damn kids get your podcasts these days. Trailer:
