I'm not sure what else is left to say about Dr. Feynman, other than that I still have more clips, and he's awesome to watch.

|

It's a shame that Dr. Feynman died in '88. He would have been awesome to stick in front of a camera and give his own children's science show.

|

Veronica Mars is like the best show. I don't know why I was just thinking about that, but it really is.

P.S. Contrary to popular opinion around my house, I think we can all agree that Piz was easily a one-note character on a show filled with wonderfully rich and complex characters.

|

Another easy explanation for something that may otherwise be a complex scientific answer. I have to wonder if more people would love science if science was easily understandable like this.

All right, friends, it's the end of December, and you know what that means!

You know what it feels like?

All right, friends, it's the end of December, and you know what that means!

Some have claimed that this is the worst Christmas song ever written. Not so, I contend! The worst Christmas song ever written probably never got recorded. Now if you were to say the worst Christmas song ever recorded...

|

One of the better parts of this clip is when Dr. Feynman starts to draw a comparison, decides it's stupid, and moves on to something else.

|

All right, friends, it's the end of December, and you know what that means!

You know, Christmas is a time to bring things together or something. So why do we need to go either hippy rock, or hard metal? Why can't we compromise in a nice, fuzz pedal-ish way? A Hendrix way, perhaps?

Are you curious, even a little bit, why America is quickly losing ground as an intelligent country? Let me show you a brief video and explain why.


Three things about this are awful. First, you've raised a kid who operates under the understanding that A) books are not good gifts and B) books aren't even gifts at all. Sure, it's semi-terrible, but the kid's obviously young, so it can be somewhat excused. Second, though, is that there are kids who aren't going to get anything this Christmas, and you've raised a kid who gets indignant that you bought them a book? Really? And third, you're laughing about it? Tell you what, if you've raised a kid who is upset that A) you bought them something and B) it was a book, you're probably well on track to raise a kid who thinks books are for lame homos who don't have Call Of Duty OOH RAH!

Side note, a video game console for a three year old?! Where are the action figures or science kits or toys that didn't cost hundreds of dollars?

|

All right, friends, it's the end of December, and you know what that means!

Yesterday feels a little namby-pamby... sure, we could talk about peace and love and stuff, or we could listen to some metal and really rock out. Let's do that one -- no blogging regrets!

|

Here's one for the Insane Clown Posse; Feynman talks about magnets, and he's not a scientist talking science at them. Pay attention, (literal) clowns.

|

All right, friends, it's the end of December, and you know what that means!

Our next track is a pretty conventional holiday song, so I'm going to avoid using the John Lennon version and instead go with the Polyphonic Spree one.

|

Hello, obnoxious new ringtone.

|

All right, friends, it's mid December, and you know what that means!

You know, the Christmas song 'Baby It's Cold Outside' is kind of weird if you listen to the lyrics. It's a lot more date-rape-y than you'd originally believe...

|

Ready for another dose of practical science? Science seems less intimidating when broken down into easily understandable chunks.

|

All right, friends, it's mid December, and you know what that means!

OK OK OK OK OK, due to reader feedback, this is the last Pokémon Christmas song I'll make you listen to. Enjoy the bad grammar of 'Nobody Doesn't Like Christmas'.

|

I wish this was a real book. As a matter of fact, someone write this book.

|

|

All right, friends, it's mid December, and you know what that means!

One of the greatest things about Christmas is bringing people of all creeds together for some holiday cheer. In this case, the creeds are 'rock' and 'pop standards', and the people are Bowie and Crosby. It's weird, but it works.

|

Feynman talks about science with the same level of excitement that a little kid talks about his favorite toy. Science rules.

|

All right, friends, it's mid December, and you know what that means!

Hah, like you all thought I'd forget that this was an awful Pokémon Christmas themed countdown? Yeah right. Here's another awesome track!

|

All right, friends, it's mid December, and you know what that means!

Look, I'm sure you're tired of hearing Pokémon Christmas songs, but we still have a bunch of tracks to go! I'll take pity on you today, though, so you can listen to my old friend Andrew WK perform a beautiful rendition of Silent Night. You don't deserve this level of performance.

|

If science was a person, and had a cool uncle, Richard Feynman would be it. Let's listen to Dr. Feynman explain how heat is really just atoms doin' a little jiggle!

|

All right, friends, it's mid December, and you know what that means!

Another day closer to the holidays and some time off, another day to listen to a Christmas-themed song by the cast of Pokémon! This is basically one of the pro-est things you'll click today.

|

Thanks Adam, now I'm just thinkin' 'bout puddi.

|

All right, friends, it's mid December, and you know what that means!

It's the most wonderful time of the year, mainly because everybody typically gets some time off of work, and you get to open presents and stay at home and eat candy canes and watch old Gary Cooper movies while snuggling under blankets and stuff! If none of this applies to you, then just enjoy this whimsical countdown to the holidays!

I figure, we should celebrate it the way that we celebrate everything else on this blog: in very, very poor taste! So as your first countdown gift, enjoy this classic and obnoxious Christmas track, the Pokémon Christmas Bash!

|

Take a listen to this track, and realize this was recorded in 1987. Seems strangely prophetic, given how the last few years have turned out.

any books, don’t **** them."

OK, I feel bad for the really bad Floyd cover I just posted. Have an awesome one performed by a drunken cantina band. The gentleman in the baseball cap thought he'd be all clever and ask the cantina band for a prog rock song... wellllll, looks like they knew it anyway.

|

Honestly, this one sorta hurts to post. I had a hard time finishing the video, so I'm not sure why I'd think it was a good idea to make you watch it too. Highlights include the terrible guitar solo, the lead singer doing his own echo effects and British accent, and the bassist shredding towards the end. Look, I'm not a good musician, at all, but I know better than to do this.

|

Do you know how to gracefully leave a room? Definitely not like this. Obama drops that press conference like it was a lame first semester study group, and bam, it's 1996 again.

|

Last night I ranked their studio albums. Personally, once you start to get to their most recent stuff, it's all semantics as to how you want to rate them compared to one another.

|

... I have done it. The impossible dream. I have completed my National Pokédex. Please don't ask me how long it took, just marvel in the fact that I did it, no cheating, no Gamesharking, nothing. Just dedication, and a ton of trading between various generations of games.

This document certifies that you have successfully completed your National Pokedex.

|

Stolen shamelessly from Daniel, who totally found it first.

|

If you're anything like me, you're too busy to be listening to 'music'. "Austin," you say, "I'd like to listen to the collective works of Billy Joel, but I just don't have the time". Well, me neither. Instead, someone made this soothing compilation of every Billy Joel song ever, played simultaneously. Now you can hear all those smooth piano lines and rich New York vocals without spending all day!

|

Nobody I show this to finds it as funny as I do. Come on, the dog's totally belly flopping!

|

This is all factual, I know, I saw a documentary on it once.

|

This is every lip sync video on YouTube done right.

|

OK, one more Santa movie... this one's real, though.

|

In honor of the month of December, let's watch the only good movie Tim Allen's made in over a decade.
