You might have already spotted Asian Conan in a streetfight with Asian Jay Leno during the 2009 Late Night Wars. This video was produced by the FOD team, but it obviously looks like the official Conan O'Brien camp was also involved. I can't wait to see the rest of the series and I'm happy CoCo found a new home on the web. view

This little video is several things at once. It's simultaneously a catchy jazz music video, populated with quirky animated characters. But it's also a demonstration of a very innovative software called Animata, which moves virtual puppets in real time according to open-source input. This kind of thing used to take weeks for traditional animators to draw. view

If ever something did not need elaboration, this is it. These two grannies sit in front of a green screen pretending to be on a roller coaster, clutching a bar and whooping it up. So classic. Their grandkids must be proud that their grandmothers already have achieved Internet fame only dreamed of by most of us. view

This PSA is full of some pretty raunchy images but yet it has an emotionally moving message that we can all be adults about. NSFW. view

Produced by Marlee Matlin, "My Deaf Family" is a new pilot about 15 year old Jared and life with his deaf parents and siblings. It's an interesting look into the unique life of the deaf, but Jared's parents maintain it isn't a disability, it's just part of their identity. Jared deals with the usual problems facing any teenager and conflicts with his parents, independence and growing up. He's a real likeable kid who talks openly about prejudice and how the world treats his family. Marlee Matlin is campaigning for the use of subtitles for the deaf in online content, something most of us probably take for granted. This is the pilot, look forward to more. view

You’ve seen a lot of series about vampires, but none that were comedy-horror-thrillers, and none that were made by Kevin Pollack. The star of Usual Suspects and Cop Out makes his directorial debut playing Elliot Finke (possible relation to blogger Nikki), a documentarian chronicling the life of a struggling LA actor who may just be a real life vampire – albeit a neurotic one who’s too squeamish to bite people and eat raw garlic. His problem? He can’t get a part playing a vampire, and there are people out for his blood -- and Elliot Finke’s footage. A show worthy of its hype, which included a star-studded Hollywood premiere. view

Close your eyes. Listen carefully. It’s Whitney Houston, right? Open your eyes. Wait, what? That’s not Whitney Houston! That’s Lin Yu Chun of Taiwan doing one heck of an amazing impersonation. I half expect Bobby Brown to call and attempt to reunite with him. view
