Keyboards, karate, crappy sci-fi costumes and male pattern baldness have never been combined so powerfully as in this brilliant 1980s music clip. Thank you to the ever-funny and demented Robert Popper for posting this craziness.

These creeps really have a high opinion of themselves. It makes me so angry. This clip was apparently part of some sort of Mormon educational film and comes to us from the very twisted geniuses at Found Footage Festival.

Thanks (I suppose) to the Found Footage Festival for pointing me in the direction of this excruciating and apparently real self-help video, which was filmed in the Bay Area god knows when. After watching it, I am sure I’m definitely not in touch with my feelings, and I’m grateful for that. Also: I now believe that people need to be suppressed, perhaps by fascism. Enjoy.

I'm late for Social Studies. Has anyone seen my cigarettes?

In 1961, the Burgess Hill School in Hertfordshire, England, was something of an alternative educational institution for bongo-playing beatniks. Teachers and students alike wore leather jackets and dark glasses, smoked cigarettes during class, rode motorcycles, listened to jazz and twisted to Chubby Checker records. If a kid didn’t understand an algebra problem, the teachers just talked to them calmly about it. Nobody freaked out, man. Thankfully, this time warp was captured by newsreel producers. Watch the five-minute video here.

Insane but impressive.

An incredibly inept wedding DJ follows up some patter (which would have sounded more appropriate at a cattle auction) by playing with a woman’s breasts. (Thanks Boing Boing.)

Old Timey Lady: "Blow Me."

What was going on inside of your average Hamtramck, Michigan, beauty salon in 1941? America had entered the war, but life was still pretty leisurely at Caroll’s Beauty Salon as women and their daughters got done up with the aid of heavy-duty machinery and steel curlers. The kid with the gigantic rollers on her tiny head probably experienced major neck problems later in life. Enjoy the three-and-a-half minute silent home movie.
