Tales of True Adventure for Rugged Men Not Unlike Yourself
Wow.
Watch as Tom Kenny seamlessly improvises the voices to 5 random cartoon characters that he has never seen before. Using his skills from decades as the voice of SpongeBob, The Ice King (Adventure Time), The Mayor (Powerpuff Girls), Heffer (Rocko’s Modern Life) and many others, Tom is able to create amazing characters in the blink of an eye.
Almost as anxiety-inducing as a watch repair, but still fun to see it all come together.
This is, um, not sure what to think about this…
Vulture remembers.
See what you reckon.

DEVO’s first single, released March 12, 1977 on Booji Boy Records. (B/W “Jocko Homo,” of course.)
About the video …
“Mongoloid” was Devo’s second music video, after The Truth About De-Evolution. It was not actually made by the band, but by assemblage artist and experimental filmmaker Bruce Conner. Conner combined 1950s television advertisements, science fiction film clips (including a scene from It Came from Outer Space), and scientific documentaries with abstract animation and original film work. Devo marketed the film as “A documentary film exploring the manner in which a determined young man overcame a basic mental defect and became a useful member of society. Insightful editing techniques reveal the dreams, ideals and problems that face a large segment of the American male population. Very educational. Background music written and performed by the DEVO orchestra.”
Still one of the catchiest songs ever, I don’t care who you are.

In honor of the passing of G+ this month, here are a few things I posted during our brief time together. Inspired by the email I received from Google to grab anything I wanted before it got deleted.
