In the wake of “You Suck At Photoshop” comes this video rant re-directed at critics of the reviewer. Seriously, I don’t get half the points he is making but the delivery is so awesome it’s hard to overlook. Yahtzee Crowshaw is behind all this and yes, I’m pretty sure that really is his name right?

Here is his review of Grand Theft Auto IV

“Now Is Better Than Before”

“I Was Dancing In The Lesbian Bar”

“Version 2″

“New England”

From the comments . . .

Pay attention kids - irony free. You wont see its like again. In its way, as radical as The Stooges or The Pistols - while they flew in the face of everything that came BEFORE them, Jonathan Richmans’s lack of cynicism flew in the face of everything which came AFTER.

Do I like Rock Videos? Not on your life!

Probably the most educational series of videos of the year. You know, or not.

“Covering Your Mistakes” - Old School Photoshop

Lot’s more on YouTube

“Vanishing Point” #10 is awesome but watch them all first. Later, you can find out just who Donnie is.

This is too incredibly groovy to be true. The Monkees also covered this.

Yoga for Kids? No

Driving in the Ambulenceah!

Nothing in the real world prompted me to listen to these songs. In fact, I’m in a pretty good mood.

“Untouchable Face”

“Kiss Off”

“Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right”

Wing

Shakira

I’m at a loss either way. If you search around for Wing you’ll see that she also covers “In The Ghetto” and “Dancing Queen” which is, you know, funny.

Um, like, holy crap. Why haven’t I seen this before?

Heavy Metal Parking Lot

Filmbaby

HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT is considered one of the greatest rock & roll movies of all time, although it’s actually a hilarious documentary tribute to rock & roll’s GREATEST FANS. Filmed in 1986 at a Maryland concert arena parking lot before a heavy metal show, HMPL is an unvarnished anthropological study of American metalheads in their mid-’80s glory. It is the quintessential ’80s magnum opus, made complete with a vast display of muscle cars, spandex, bleach-blonde frizzy perms, bare-chested dudes, Mullets From Hell, faded denim metal chicks, and the largest collection of late ’70s Camaros ever seen in one location. Virtually unknown to mainstream audiences for two decades, HMPL was a VHS bootleg favorite among musicians, movie stars and cult-video fanatics worldwide. This limited-edition DVD features a pristine digital-video transfer of the original uncut 16-minute documentary, plus over two hours of exclusive content! Extra content includes sequels, parking lot alumni interviews, karaoke subtitles, Dub-O-Vision and more. Viewer discretion: explicit language, drug references and loud music.

Over in Josie and The Pussycats, the writers tried to split the Manichean difference with stories engineered to cash in on the popcult explosion of interest in all things occult (engendered by the runaway success of The Exorcist, among other things) while retaining a state of proper Christian grace. The whole teen rock band concept was pushed aside for a time in favor of numerous supernatural-themed stories involving haunted houses, ancient curses, and other manifestations of spiritual evil.

Conclusion I support: You may think you’re being with it and groovy, but snorting ectoplasm can have dangerous consequences.
