The controversial McDonald's commercial based on the H. R. PufnStuf characters created by Sid & Marty Krofft. Late 60s, early 70s. 'McDonaldland' looks a lot like 'Living Island', and the Kroffts would sue McDonald's and eventually win over the blatant copyright infringement in this commercial.

I know it's pretty pointless to even bother attacking the substance of this non-sequitur argument about seeing Russia from Alaska. Nevertheless, it amuses me to see it done.

The way "I am Legend" was supposed to end

This is how "I am Legend" was supposed to end. (Really!) If you are like me, you might have thought this movie was pretty cool for the first hour, then a bit worse when the woman shows up and finally totally lame at the exact point where this clip starts. Turns out, this ending was the entire point of the story on which the film is based AND explains the title of the film. The point is that Will Smith realizes that he is the monster described in the legends of the "zombies" as he hunts them down one by one for his evil experiments. There are several clues about this earlier in the film. But apparently this ending didn't test well, so we all had to suffer with the nonsensical crap you might have seen already. We can't have our preconceptions about "evil doers" shown to be inaccurate, right?

Parliament-Funkadelic is a Funk music collective headed by George Clinton , that specialized in the style of music known as P Funk and performed under the names Parliament and Funkadelic (two bands comprised of the same members, recording for different labels), but also in a score of offshoot groups and solo ventures.

Collectively, the group has existed under various names since the 1960s and has been known for top-notch musicianship, politically-charged lyrics, outlandish concept albums, and memorable live performances.

Mark Griffin aka MC 900 Ft Jesus, with turntables by the great DJ Zero. "I'm Going Straight to Heaven" taken from the unclassifiable, brilliant album "Hell With the Lid Off" from 1989.

Goofy old Levis ad with life-size animation and giggly jingle. If you watched the Krofft Supershow and the Groovy Goolies, then you probably also saw this.

Vintage Dead playing one of my favorite tracks, which was inspired by the Altimont festival disaster. From the "Festival Express" video.
