The Fine Brothers

Posted in Funny, General on May 16th, 2009 by Deems

So, these two jews walk into a bar…

Benny and Rafi Fine are two brothers who seems to be taking the online world by storm with their witty comedies and parodies of movies and TV-Series. I don’t know what planet I’ve been on because I hadn’t heard of them until today – thanks S! [via Wired]

You’ve seen at least some of the TV Series, Lost, right? And everyone knows about Star Trek – check out this great parody skit with action-figure characters from Lost, Star Trek and a few cameo roles thrown in the mix – enjoy!

You can subscribe to their YouTube channel or follow them through their blog. I’m going to keep an eye on these guys.

Advertising: Nando's stick to their guns

Posted in General on April 29th, 2009 by Deems

Not only do Nando’s provide great fast-food they also have a kick-ass marketing department, who don’t take crap from anyone, even if it ruffles a few feathers.

Not too long ago, just before our National elections, last week, Nando’s aired an advert about Change with a puppet called Julius, which got Julius Malema, leader of the ANC Youth League, hot under the collar, demanding they remove their advert or face millitant action!

Well, Nando’s met with Julius and agreed that they would change (blured out his face, altered his voice, and posted a message in the ticker at the bottom of the screen) their advert – below is the result – brilliant! [via Cherryflava]

You can see the original advert at the bottom of this post.

The Simpsons intro, revisited!

Posted in General on March 3rd, 2009 by Deems

One of the longest running TV shows, The Simpsons has been given a slight face-lift with regards to its new intro sequence. Much stays the same, yet there are slight differences to the original opening sequence and the ending, yet similar, is different – watch the clip below to see what I’m talking about.
