Darth Vader does Tai Chi

by manny

Watch Darth Vader perform 42 Tai Chi movements with his lightsaber. I find this video to be quite hypnotic. What a strange, yet awesome, animation!

This was put together by animator John Leo. Very impressive! I wonder how he made this?

Thanks to Julio for the tip!

Improv Everywhere Suits up for the Beach

by manny

Improv Everywhere recently performed another “mission” — this time by dressing up in formal attire and hitting the Brighton Beach at Coney Island!

For our latest mission we had several hundred agents spend a day at Coney Island / Brighton Beach wearing black tie attire. We covered a mile-long stretch of beach with a diverse group of people of all ages (from babies to sixty-somethings) laying out, playing games, and swimming in the ocean, all in formal wear. Agents were instructed to find cheap tuxedos and ball gowns at thrift stores for the occasion.

How funny!

Silly Unicorns Dancing

by manny

This video doesn’t really make any sense, and the costumes really aren’t that good. But it’s weird and silly, so I thought I’d post it anyway.

How’s your Monday so far?

Quoted from YouTube Description:

Justin Bieber dances to Katy Perry in a sassy red unicorn costume accompanied by his unicorn girlfriend Kim Kardashian who is sporting a chanel cheetah print snuggie. Fabulous!!!! Unicorns are awesome.

Superman vs Bizarro

by manny

Here’s fun fan film called Superman vs Bizarro. I think it’s rather well made, all things considering. Sure, the costumes are rather average, but they do the job.

You can tell these guys really love Superman! It’s nice to see Bizarro get some screen time, the poor guy is so misunderstood.

Frog Mascot Injured During Game?

by manny

LOL, this video has to be a planned stunt, but it’s kind of funny. Good old Japan – during a sporting event, a frog mascot takes a tumble and the other mascots carry him off the field in a stretcher.

Don’t ask, “Why?” There is no point. :)

Cat Dumps Old Lady into Trash

by manny

This video just TOTALLY made my day, it’s the funniest thing ever! I’m so glad the cat got its proper revenge.

Last week, the Internet blew up when a video was released of a British woman tossing a cat in the trash. The cat was found alive after 15 hours, but the entire world was outraged at the lady’s actions. Police had to offer her protection after she received hundreds of death threats.

It’s so funny that someone dressed up in a cat costume and made the above video.

Here is the original video. Is this lady crazy or what?

Big thanks to Jared for the tip!

Border Collie Performs Tricks in Several Costumes

by manny

Nana, a well trained Border Collie, performs tricks while wearing several different costumes. What a good looking dog!

Get ready to laugh as Nana the Border Collie performs stunts while wearing hilarious costumes! (The funniest costume is at the end of the video, in my opinion.)

All the costumes Nana is shown wearing in this video are either designed for dogs to wear, or were costumes that Nana was very comfortable wearing. All of Nana’s training is done with the use of positive reinforcement and clicker training exclusively.

Old Spice Guy Costume

by manny

old-spice-guy-costume

Look at this cosplayer. Now look at the Old Spice Video. Now back to the cosplayer. He may not be the real Old Spice Guy, but he looked like him at the recent Wizard World Con in Chicago last weekend.

Ha, great idea. A very simple costume, but it’s funny and it works. Well done!

Black Cow (Tauren) Furry Costume

by manny

Look at this amazing black cow/ tauren costume! This is the latest costume made by BeastCub. She makes exquisite furry costumes, and we’ve featured her wolf costume last year.

Such amazing detail! I’m so impressed.

Are you interested in having BeastCub make you a fursuit? I looked at her ordering page, and found this bit interesting:

dscn3646

Fullsuits, quad suits and 3/4 suits Require a “duct-tape dummy:”

Full instructions for making a duct-tape dummy can be found HERE.

I need the the dummy to come all the way up to the neck and all the way down your wrists and ankles. Have your arms up and straight (level with your shoulders) and your legs apart. This is a 2 person job by the way and rather “awkward” to do so find some one you are comfortable with, be wary of siblings as they may tape you to the floor.

Hmm, okay, I can see how that would be a little awkward. But if you really want an awesome fursuit, I guess it’s a small price to pay.

Want more information? Head on over to www.beastcub.com.

Darth Vader FAIL

by manny

I received an email from Jeremy Naylor, creator of the famous Wampa costume. He was recently at the Star Wars Celebration in Orlando, where he saw Darth Vader go head to head against a closed concession stand.

Looks like it will take more than the Force to open that door. Sorry, Vader… FAIL!

Thanks to Jeremy for the tip!
