Rob Brydon (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) and Steve Coogan’s (Tropic Thunder) take their Michael Caine impressions to the limit and test each other to prove who is the better Michael Caine impersonator. I have to say, I wouldn’t be able to determine a winner. Perhaps you can? This is a really amusing video because they just tear each other down in a Michael Caine voice. See the battle of the Michael Caines after the jump!
Sir Ian McKellen recollects his moments when he comes face to face with the mighty Balrog at The Bridge of Khazad-Dum in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
If you are familiar with the show Mad Men on AMC then you might have noticed Don Draper’s (Jon Hamm) consistent use of the word, “What?”. Or maybe he just says it so much that it just comes natural and flies right past you. If you have never seen Mad Men then perhaps this video might not be as funny to you. Check it out after the break! WHAT?
Waverly Films, a few amateur filmmakers out of Brooklyn, created a fun fake trailer to a “Eli Roth” movie that made even Eli Roth tweet, “This is so good even I thought it was real…I WANT TO SEE CLOWN!!” Clown looks like it could be a great B-movie horror, but I doubt we’ll ever see this anytime soon. If you’ve seen the fake trailers during the intermission of Grindhouse, then you know what this kind of trailer is aiming for. This is great!
I think these guys make ICP jealous. Check out the faux trailer after the break!
Volkswagen has more on their mind then just automobiles. VW has been seen sponsoring various film festivals these days and have been really taken with the industry. The See Film Differently campaign has been reignited after a few cute print ads that surfaced last year. The new campaign is focused on locations rather than cars within film. VW is calling it, “Turning the Camera On Locations,” visiting “a number of iconic film locations to see what effect the movies have had on the everyday lives of those who work there.” I love this idea. It is fun and the concept of imagining what real working people have to deal with when tourists visit must be a laugh and a headache.
Riding on the nostalgia train, Volkswagen has picked two infamous movie locations for TV spots focusing on Ghostbusters and When Harry Met Sally. You can check out the fun little videos after the break!
Yayyy Snickers! Holidays bring the best out in advertisers, but the best holiday I could think of to be creative would be Halloween. This great new creepy Snickers ad is absolutely eerie and amusing. The costume in this commercial reminds me of the horrible horror gem The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. Check out the ad spot after the break for a good time along with some great Burger King Halloween print ads from last year!
Can you make light of any situation? These guys at MaltBisney sure can. Shred some zonky sound effects and throw in some gnarly skater lingo and you got yourself an extreme video! Disney’s Blam! originally focused on funny faults of cartoon characters, but these guys took it one step further with Pixar’s Up. Check out the heartless yet some how funny video after the break. BLAM!
The Consumerist has devised this “gross oversimplification” of Blockbuster vs. Netflix. How sad.
DC Comics’ writers, Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo, have created a tribute comic to Calvin and Hobbes starring Lex Luthor and the Joker, which will be placed in the 75th issue of Superman/Batman. (Reddit)

Sometimes father figures can be cruel, but sometimes it’s tough love that helps us grow stronger.
