When Beer Pong Becomes Art

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Here’s a meme recipe. Take a mundane activity and dial it up to 11. In this case, said activity is beer pong.

These university students showcase seemingly impossible beer pong shots. The ball is thrown with profound accuracy from crazy distances. Every bounce is calculated with razor precision. They do it all with such casualness, it borders on flippancy.

Here, beer pong has been elevated from sport to art form. And these boys have developed a masterpiece.

From the Archives: Cellular South Hikers

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

In the grand tradition of Powdered Toast Man, comes this melodramatic take on Cellular South’s network coverage. Note to contest entrants: melodrama always kicks things up a notch.

Two hikers climb a snow-covered peak. One collapses — convinced he won’t make it. What ensues is the most operatic moment in UGC history. Dare I say it? It only lacks a fat blonde lady in a Viking helmet.

Will the helicopters find them? Will Corey speak with his darling Christy? Will Cellular South really come through? Watch to find out!

Clowns vs. Cops

Friday, May 1st, 2009

How do you choreograph an action sequence in film without any movement — and do it in one shot? Let the fine folks at Stink Digital answer that question.

As a showcase for Philips CINEMA 21:9 — which lends itself so readily to film — “Carousel” was designed to hold its own with Hollywood’s best.

Cops and clowns battle it out. Gun shots are fired. Glass is broken. There is no dialogue — only subtle sound effects and music.

You will watch this again and again. Not only does the storyline intrigue, it is meticulously detailed. Best of all, it is shot in a loop.

Meet the most adorable reptiloid cyborg ever. This is Winky the Tortoise. She is 50-years-old. Some years back, she lost one of her legs. So what to do if you are an animal that must carry a heavy shell?

Replace the leg with a wheel — complete with suspension system! Now, Winky is mobile. Soon, she will enslave us all with technology and cuteness. This is your evidence.

Suicidal Cadbury Eggs

Friday, March 27th, 2009

By CHRIS TROTTIER

Cadbury is no stranger to viral video. After all, they produced the irrepressibly cute Cadbury Eyebrows. This Easter, their campaign verges into still cute but much darker territory.

Release the Goo involves Cadbury eggs hellbent on self-destruction. The eggs volunteer to be pounded, blended, and dropped to death — all in an effort to release their creamy guts. It’s twisted but it works.

Partially, this is because of a certain derring do. Suicide is a sensitive topic. For such a cutesy, kid-oriented brand to take this on humorously requires guts. (Pardon the pun.) But hey, it got our attention.
