That's right - here's all Futurama intro screens from all 4/5 seasons (whichever way you count) with "Futurama" and those funky captions underneath.

"Futurama - soon to become a major religion!"

What's so screwed up about this, is that this guy is the Vice-Chair of the Russian Parliament, I kid you not.
But this gets better and better - by the end he's spewing such BS that even his 'friends' are laughing at his expense (e.g. how with their advanced super-weapons Russia can obliterate Australia just for laughs or how they can completely submerge US by changing Earth's gravitational force in 24 hours' time). A nice exposé of his/Russian stereotypes on US and Americans.

If you want to be totally repulsed straightaway - skip to the last minute and listen to his mysognistic abuse of Condoleeza Rice.

Russian ultra-nationalist Zhirinovsky's anti-US 2002 rant against U.S.'s plans to invade Iraq.
Predicting the demise of the U.S. military - Zhirinovsky was obviously poorly mistaken but he remains a dangerous politician at a time the U.S. is so despised around the world.

Death in Vegas w.Iggy Pop - Aisha (coolest music video ever)

Aisha.
We've only just met.
And I think you ought to know,
I'm a murderer.

How cool is that? This is one of the best music videos ever, certainly unique - it's a "stalker vision" POV of a murderer chasing a prostitute(?); a lot more atmospheric than any Hollywood slasher movie, I'll tell you. Be sure to watch until the end to not miss the twist.
The amazing Iggy Pop provides the vocals.

wiki: "Aisha" (with vocals from Iggy Pop), "Dirge" helped the band gain more recognition, culminating in a Mercury Music Prize nomination in 2000. "Aisha" was a top 10 hit in the UK.

Death in Vegas are a psychedelic rock and electronic rock band from the United Kingdom, comprised of two permanent members: Richard Fearless and Tim Holmes. Influenced by a wide range of musical genres including psychedelic rock, electronica, krautrock, dub and industrial, the band's sound is constantly changing, moving between live rock sounds, electronica and minimal techno.

I generally dislike indie rock a great deal, always have, but this is the one great notable exception. Their 2002 album Turn on the Bright Lights is one of the best albums I've ever heard in any genre and me and a number of critics suggest you go and check it out.

Wiki:
Interpol is an American indie rock band, formed in 1997 in New York City. The members of the band are Paul Banks (vocals, guitar), Daniel Kessler (guitar, vocals), Carlos Dengler (bass guitar, keyboards - commonly referred to as Carlos D.) and Sam Fogarino (drums, percussion). The band's debut album Turn on the Bright Lights was critically acclaimed, making it into the NME top ten albums of the year for 2002.[citation needed] The follow-up, Antics, was both a commercial and critical success. In 2007 the group released its third album, Our Love to Admire.

Whoa! Craig has No.6 from Battlestar Galactica on-AGAIN! No wonder - turns out she's the 8th sexiest woman on the FHM list.

This time she is in fact wearing the red dress and looks as stunning as ever, Craig being even more charming back. The conversation takes a few quick turns and Tricia finds herself revealing a bit too much of her... umm, naughty side :)
Meanwhile, Craig gets more hot and bothered by the minute and admits he would fancy being her stalker as well as ponders how their children would turn out to be.

Faithless get political in their 2004 released album "No Roots" which contains the single "Mass Destruction", whose lyrics describe negative traits such as fear, racism, greed and inaction as "weapons of mass destruction".

Dig the gritty social commentary, guitar riffs and DJ Maxi Jazz talking to a brick wall. This is perfect.

From YT:
*Attention* Spoilers for the first 3 seasons!

Clips of the second Cylon-Human war, focusing on the destruction of the colonies and a large compilation of battle scenes from then on.

I've tried to maintain some sort of "storyline" to the video, though it's obviously out of order as far as which episodes/seasons the clips are initially from.

A HUGE credit to Bear McCreary for the awesome music (Prelude To War, 2nd season OST). Awesome space-crazy drum cue starting at 3:00!

A brilliant scene from the third season of the best ever British comedy series 'Blackadder'. If you haven't seen it, you've not witnessed British humor - Mr.Bean doesn't even come close.

Wiki sez: "Blackadder the Third is set in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period known as the Regency. In the series, E. Blackadder Esquire is the butler to the Prince of Wales (the prince is played by Hugh Laurie as a complete fop and idiot). Despite Edmund's respected intelligence and abilities, he has no personal fortune to speak of, apart from his frequently fluctuating wage packet from the Prince, as he says: 'If I'm running short of cash all I have to do is go upstairs and ask Prince Fat-head for a rise'."

For extra clarity - the 'exorcism' line is "Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends."

From YT: "We love hockey and the violence that comes with it. Nobody did them both better than Ron Hextall. He was probably the most complete goaltender ever to play."

Wiki: On December 8, 1987, Hextall became the first goalie in NHL history to score a goal by actually shooting the puck into an open net with the opposing goaltender pulled for an extra attacker. In his post-game interview Hextall quipped, “Now before you guys get started I want you to know I was aiming for that corner.”

Also: "Hextall was known for his aggressive play, something which made him a fan-favorite in Philadelphia. He holds the record for most penalty minutes by a goaltender in one season with 113 in 1988-1989."
