Can you hear this sound? If you’re over 25, chances are that you can’t! The mosquito sound is used to prevent loitering in subway stations by annoying fragile teenagers ears.
I’m 29 and I can hear it hehe!
Could we use that on porn websites to keep kids away?
Do you know Tim and Eric? I’ve just finished watching season 3.
Broadcasted on AdultSwim, Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! is the most psychotronic-absurd-surreal comedy show since Alf, and it’s definitively a contender for the funniest show in the Universe. I know, I know… I’m a bit overreacting.
Tim and Eric are geniuses when it comes to uncomfortable moments, weird characters and incorporating lame VHS effects to their footage. Their almost abusive use of senior amateur comedians adds to the lot. Mix everything with guest star appearences (John C Reilly, Michael Cera) and you’ll have a crazy show with delirious sketchs and various tips on how to raise your child-clown.
And being stupid pays for T&E. Absolut Vodka commissioned them and their friend Zach Galifianakis for 3 carte blanche ads (they only had to say the name of the product). With the tagline “In An Absolut World Friends Would Get Together More Often”, the result is… stupid. I didn’t see the campaign results, but let say Absolut reached a lot of young guys for few money.
Unfortunately, if you’re in Canada, AdultSwim blocks the video feeds, but wiseguys will know where to look (some content is on youtube). The previous seasons are on sale in the iTunes iTunes Store.
Playboy UK has relaunched its website as an ad-funded model and made the bulk of its content free to users. This is clever. This is logic. This is… web. :-)
Now this should be a real treat. It’s expected to be out late in 2009.
