Cool Clip: Sesame Street Takes On The Spiderman Musical
Jun 15th
Wow – you really know your shows in trouble when even Sesame Street gives you a kicking!
Check out the recently released promo for the upcoming season of Sesame Street, featuring a parody of the Julie Taymor directed Broadway disaster!
As you’ve probably read, Spiderman finally launched last night after months of cast accidents, rewrites, overruns and general production nightmares. And the general consensus was kind of ‘Meh!’ Can the show ever make its money back? And who ever thought the production was a good idea in the first place? I mean, really!
Anyway here’s the Sesame Street take – SpiderMonster: The Musical- as adult as ever, though with enough physical comedy for the kids. I just wonder if they’ll have any idea who Bono actually is!
Check it out, below… (more…)
Cool Commercial: Old Spice Goes International!
Apr 30th
Wow, Old Spice really are on a roll at the moment aren’t they.
Hot on the heels of the brand’s iconic American adverts featuring Isiaih Mustafa playing The Man Your Man Could Smell Like – check out this latest international commercial using the same concept but a different model.
The commercial is part of the new Old Spice Danger Zone campaign and features actor Neal Bledsoe (Ugly Betty) making his way through a jungle wilderness battling trucks, alligators and snakes…
It’s as slick and fun as the US campaign – so check it out below!
Cool Commercial: Little Thor
Apr 23rd
Remember that Volkswagen / Darth Vader advert that made lots of headlines a couple of months back – and was the undisputed hit of this year’s Superbowl?
Well it seems the makers of the new Thor movie want some of that good press themselves – and have created their own take on the ‘kids in costumes’ commercial. Check out what happens when this kid plays dress up and discovers new-found superhero powers!
It’s a smart advertising tactic on the part of the movie’s producers but there’s just one problem – the actual Thor movie looks terrible! Am I the only one who thinks it’s probably going to bite the box office dust? And what the heck is Natalie Portman doing slumming it in a second rate superhero movie. If you haven’t seen it yet here’s the Thor movie trailer! Judge for yourself!
And here’s the commercial – doing the rounds today!
Cool Clip: The T-Mobile Royal Wedding
Apr 17th
Okay, I don’t know about you but I’m already TOTALLY over the Royal Wedding.
With non-stop TV specials and endless Today Show segments I feel I already know more than enough about William, Kate and every little intricate detail of the wedding. I’m just glad I don’t live in England anymore, I dread to think how intense the coverage is there…
But this video, doing the viral rounds at the moment, did make me smile.
The T-Mobile team have jumped on board the wedding dance bandwagon (remember that Chris Brown video from a couple of years ago) and imagined what the Royal Wedding might look like set to music. The song is House Of Love by UK 90′s boy-band, East 17 and while the dancing is pretty borderline, the video has some good moments – especially when Charles and Camilla enter…
Check out the clip below – and let me know what you think. Plus tell me – are you as bored by all the Royal Wedding fever as I am?
Cool Clip: Michelle Rodriguez’s Killer Pillow Fight
Mar 26th
It’s rather amazing how well Michelle Rodriguez‘s career has gone!
For an actress known for one particular type of role – the butt kicking tomboy – she’s shown amazing resilience and ended up in a whole stream of hits over the years, including The Fast And The Furious, Resident Evil, Avatar and this year’s Battle: LA. Someone either makes some great choices or has a great agent – or both!
I interviewed Michelle right at the top of her career, for the female boxing movie Girlfight and she was lovely and very new to the scene (I believe it was her first time in London so she was seeking tips on where to go). Somehow I suspect she’s a lot more worldly wise now!
Here’s Michelle in action in one of the best viral clips of the year so far, a college pillow fight that suddenly gets a whole lot more serious when blood is drawn. It’s very Kill Bill – and fast and furious. Those College Humor guys really are spending money these days!
Check out the clip below…
The Flintstones Theme – Extended!
Mar 25th
We haven’t posted a clip from the College Humor guys for a while now – but this one caught my eye today and is worth a watch!
Check out the gang’s reworking of the classic Flintstones‘ theme tune – with a darker 21st century twist…
Yep, if you’ve ever wondered how Fred could keep wolfing down those huge ribs all the time, here’s your answer…
Enjoy! (more…)
Mad Men And Fast Trains
Mar 9th
Erm, does this video really belong on Funny or Die?
Check out Mad Men stars Rich Sommer and Vincent Kartheiser in this rather bizarre video appeal for high speed trains, launched on the comedy website today.
It’s great seeing the guys reprise their iconic Mad Men characters but you do kind of have to wonder why?
The clip is pretty rambling and pointless and for me struggles to make much sense – it’s only really at the end that I figured out what it was all about!
But what do you think? Am I missing something here? And do you really want to see the Mad Men guys hawking causes (or products) or does it kind of cheapen the whole show….
Natalie Portman’s Recycling PSA
Mar 5th
It’s been a busy week for Natalie Portman – winning her first Oscar on Sunday night for Black Swan and finding herself in the middle of a political bun-fight just a few days later (Mike Huckabee you are an idiot)
But here’s a little clip that Natalie may not have been expecting to see again! Yep, even big Hollywood stars have a few dark secrets hidden away…
Check out this video for an early 90′s public service announcement featuring Natalie as a spokes-girl for the World Patrol Kids, a group that’s all about promoting recycling.
Natalie gives a little speech, there’s an out of tune song and even a little dance number. Ah, so that’s where she got those Black Swan moves from… it’s really quite fabulous!
Now if we could just find a similar video for Colin Firth and Christian Bale…
Wheel of Fortune: Dumbest Contestants Ever?
Mar 3rd
Okay – I don’t want to be mean here – but these three definitely need to brush up on their geography!
Check out what happened on a recent episode of Wheel Of Fortune as three contestants found themselves stumped by a particularly tough answer. Clue – it’s a place.
Now I’ll be honest – geography is not one of my strong-points. But even I found my jaw dropping on this one… I mean, seriously – they’ve never heard of Auckland?
Watch the cluelessness unfold, below…
Crazy Clip: Dr Oz / Charlie Sheen Phobia
Mar 1st
Okay this is really one of the most insane clips we’ve ever run on Remote Patrolled.
Check out this clip from a recent Dr Oz, featuring a patient who has a Charlie Sheen phobia!!!
Yep, you read that right, she actually has a fear of the former Two And A Half Men star! Watch what happens when she sees a photo of Charlie in the studio.
At first I assumed this had to be a piss take – but this is the Dr Oz show after all, not Jerry Springer…. could this really be serious?
Watch the craziness unfold below…
What do you think… can this possibly be for real?
