Star Wars Dance Off

by manny

You know, I just can’t get enough Star Wars dancing, so I thought I’d post this awesome Star Wars Dance Off video from last May. This was during the 2009 Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

This year they danced to ’90s music. Heh, so cool!

Video from Oklahoma Ren Faire

by manny

I know I’ve posted about ThatCostumeGirl a lot lately - but I can’t help it! She’s too awesome.

Now she has video from the Oklahoma Ren Faire, as well as more pictures in her Photo Gallery.

Very cool stuff. ThatCostumeGirl is the best!

Vintage Star Wars Commericals

by manny

Gunaxin.com has an awesome collection of old Star Wars TV commericals. And even though some of these are poor quality, they are still great to watch.

I think my favorite is the crossover commerical featuring Colonel Sanders from KFC, the Pizza Hut girl, and the Chihuahua from Taco Bell as they team up to battle the evil droids.

Head on over to Gunaxin.com to view all 20 clips.

And here’s a BONUS clip. It’s not a commercial, but a rare featurette created during the filming of Return of the Jedi. And Carrie Fisher wears the metal bikini!

I like how they keep saying, Revenge of the Jedi, which was the film’s original title until George Lucas changed it at the last minute.

Darth Jackson on Britain’s Got Talent

by manny

Meet Darth Jackson! By day he’s a postal worker, and by night he’s an undiscovered talent.

Here’s an awesome clip from Britain’s Got Talent. Darth Jackson does the Thriller dance with a team of stormtrooper backup dancers.

Too funny! Why is Simon so mean? Darth Jackson is my hero.

 

And once again, thanks to Bonniegrrl for the tip!

Hair Bands from the 1980s

Hair Bands from the 1980s

LOL, look at these great pictures of wild hair bands from the ’80s! It’s so amazing. We….actually thought this was cool?

Can we all just agree that music and fashion in the ’70s were better than the ’80s? I think I’ll take disco and afros over this any day.

I’ll confess, I can’t name a single band in this list. If anyone wants to help out in the comments, that would be great.

ThatCostumeGirl Goes to Ren Faire

by manny

ThatCostumeGirl Goes to Renfaire

I’m totally jealous of ThatCostumeGirl. She got to go to a renaissance fair and hang out with Cedric from the Bedlam Bards.

Doesn’t she look great? She mentioned that she’ll have more photos of the fair, maybe even video, later this week.

If you haven’t heard of the Bedlam Bards before, you are really missing out! They play Renfolk Music, which is a “unique blend of Celtic, English, Scandinavian, and American folk music mixed in with period tunes from the Renaissance and Middle Ages.” Awesome stuff.

Here’s a clip of Cedrick singing a song called Hush Little Citizen.

 
Be sure to keep your eyes on ThatCostumeGirl’s blog for more renaissance costume goodness later this week!

Captain Picard sings an alphabet song!

Here’s Patrick Stewart at his best - paying tribute to Gene Roddenberry with a song. This video appeared on the Star Trek TNG season 5 DVDs as a special feature.

Thanks to Bonniegrrl for the tip!

Eye of the Tiger

by manny

Mr. T

If you love this Mr. T look-alike wig, then you should really love this Eye of the Tiger cover song from the movie Rocky III. This video really made my day, and I’m trying to hard to make it costume-related so I can post it. :) Hope it makes you smile!

Thanks to HeartlessDoll for the tip.

Burger King goes Klingon

by manny

Burger King is running a funny Star Trek commercial as excitement builds for the Star Trek movie debut this weekend.

The Burger King guy is dressed like a Klingon - er, Kingon and tries to steal the cool new Star Trek glasses by the irresistable melodies of the Suliban’s Strum. LOL! The glasses look cool. I may have to head to Burger King and pick one up!

EDIT: Here’s a few more funny commercials!

The Flash Sings Hip-Hoppin’ Rap in Costume

by manny

Heh, this is a pretty entertaining Flash music video. Looks like it was a blast to make. Wally West sings about riding his bike, being unpopular in school, and life in general. LOL, I think my favorite part is when the Flash gets owned by Harry Potter. Great job!

Eminem Wears Costumes

Eminem Wears Costumes

Eminem is back with a new music video, entitled, We Made You. It’s a good song and he wears a lot of funny costumes in the video.

He makes fun of Star Trek, Jessica Simpson and lots of other pop culture icons. And yes, that’s Dr. Dre dressed up as Capt. Kirk, LOL!

Check it out on MTV.com.
