NATHAN BARLEY - THE RISE OF THE IDIOTS Why did I miss this one when it came out? I must be such an old man...! Hey, please bring it back! I mean, if you like "The IT-Crowd", you're gonna LOVE this one! Wikipedia: "Channel 4 sitcom written by Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris, starring Nicholas Burns, Julian Barratt and Claire Keelan. (...) The first episode of six weekly episodes was broadcast on 11 February 2005 on Channel 4. Nathan Barley played by Nicholas Burns is a webmaster, guerrilla filmmaker, screenwriter, DJ and in his own words, a "self-facilitating media node". He is convinced he is the epitome of urban cool, and therefore secretly terrified he might not be, which is why he reads Sugar Ape magazine, his bible of cool. The magazine is an obvious parody of Vice Magazine and even has one issue called "The Vice Issue". HA, HA, "The latest monkey animation", BWAH-HA-HA, Cory Doctorow & Co KG., this one is for you! PEACE & FUCKING! There's a YouTube-Collection at Kfairy. By the way, there is nothing wrong with your internet or TV when you start watching the first episode. Don't be a nerd, visit www.trashbat.co.ck first to find out "the real shit". Mr. Sean Ryan (Set Designer from Berlin) turned it on for me! Thanks!

THE UNAIRED SIMPSONS SHORT FILM - NAZIS ON TAP MutitlatorTroy says:" This is the audio track to an unaired Simpsons short entitled 'Nazis on Tap.' From what I understand, Matt Groening didn't want the writers to put Hitler jokes into the show. To spite Matt, Sam Simon had this put into production in secret. When Matt found out, the short was canned. Only the audio track and character designs were finished, and was planned to air after 'Bart the Daredevil.'" The Simpsons Archive knows more: "It was called "Nazis on Tap", and started off with Harry Shearer doing an announcer's voice saying something like "And now, here's a short from the Simpsons archives, from the year 1944." Homer was in a 40's version of Moe's Tavern (for some reason, the bartender was a dog; perhaps someone else can supply a more specific reference for why they would have done this. I just have a vague feeling that this sort of species mixing was common in a certain style of cartoon), relaxing after a hard day's work in the defense plant. Hitler sits next to him at the bar, and starts pumping him for information about weapons and invasion plans -- Homer of course answers all the questions. Then Bart comes along, spots Hitler, and chases him. The final scene is of Roosevelt giving Bart a medal for capturing Hitler; when Bart starts to chase after another man who is present at the ceremony, FDR says "No, no, that's Joseph Stalin, our friend!" The short ends with Bart saying "Catching Hitler was neato! Next stop, Hirohito!"

DEXTER - DER SERIENMÖRDER IST ENDGÜLTIG IM MAINSTREAM ANGEKOMMEN Womöglich ist Ihnen Dexter, der freundliche Serienkiller aus Florida, bisher noch nicht über die Glotze gelaufen und in diesem Falle sollte man sich unten kurz am genial inszenierten Intro ergötzen (...der beste Vorspann seit der Kunstgeschichte für die "Desperate Housewives"!) Dexter arbeitet als Blutexperte bei der Bullerei und bringt als düsterer Rächer nach Feierabend all die Mörder um, die dem Gesetz irgendwie entkommen sind. Das Batman-Syndrom in der extremen Form. Kennt man vom "Punisher", einer Art von Batman mit Maschinengewehr, Totenkopf und Vietnam-Trauma (oder unter Garth Ennis inzwischen wahrscheinlich Iraq-Trauma...), der gerade in neue Filmform gegossen wurde. Der Konflikt zwischen Gesetz und Gerechtigkeit ist die Muttermilch der Superhelden, jener Riege von uramerikanischen Ikonen und kleinen Göttern, die den bösen Buben auf die Schnauze hauen, die einem lahmarschigen Polizeirevier und der ewig inkompetenten Justiz mal wieder durch die Lappen gegangen oder so gefährlich sind, dass nur echte Helden mit ihnen fertig werden können. Dexter funktioniert genauso, geht aber noch einen Schritt weiter und macht den Psychopathen zum freundlichen Helden einer wenig ironisch gemeinten Familienserie für die Generation Broken Home. Mit reichlich Zuckerguss wird die Kindheit des Psychopathen zur typischen "Origin-Story" eines durchschnittlichen Superhelden. Im Gegensatz zu den traditionellen Superhelden arbeitet Dexter aber nicht mit den Polizeikollegen zusammen oder liefert die gefangenen Superschurken artig im Arkham Asylum ab. Wenn es ihn nach Gerechtigkeit dürstet, zieht sich Dexter die Plastikhandschuhe an und ermordet auf bestialische Weise andere Serienmörder, denen er vorher detektivisch auf die Spur gekommen ist. Denn natürlich findet Superdetektiv Dexter Spuren, wo seine dummen Kollegen nur Staub und Blut sehen. Er tötet nur die bösen Jungs und darum ist er mit seiner blutigen Selbstjustiz für das Publikum auf der moralisch richtigen Seite. Und natürlich hat der Mann mit dem Hackebeil immer Recht und die Unschuldsvermutung scheint in diesem düsteren Florida sowieso nichts mehr verloren zu haben. Die aufpolierte Oberflächlichkeit (man muss sich fragen, ob die Leute in all den Varianten von CSI immer noch nicht genug abgeschlagene Beine gesehen haben...) und all die gutaussehenden Klischee-Charaktere machen diese Serie eigentlich erst richtig erschreckend. Aber, zugegeben, "Dexter" ist dabei für ein paar Abende erschreckend unterhaltsam.

DER BUNTSTIFTSCHMECKER VON DER "TITANIC" BEI "WETTEN DASS...?" Also, der Redakteur war Bernd Fritz (boulevardtechnisch auch als "Buntstift-Lügner" oder "Buntstift-Lecker" bezeichnet) und es begab sich im September 1988. Worum es ging: "Fritz behauptete, die Farbe von Buntstiften allein am Geschmack erkennen zu können, und schaffte dies dank einer Augenabdeckung, unter deren Rändern er unbemerkt hindurchsehen konnte. Noch vor laufenden Kameras wurde der verdutzte Moderator Thomas Gottschalk über diese Titanic-Aktion aufgeklärt." (Wikipedia) Die "Bild" tobte, das Publikum war entsetzt, dass die Sendung so einfach zu unterwandern war, die "Titanic" machte sich paukenschlagsmäßig einem breiteren Publikum bekannt und damals guckten sogar noch Menschen "Wetten dass...?" Menschen unter 70, meine ich. War eine andere Zeit. Es gab nur drei Programme und eine Mauer, der 11. September war nur ein Datum und die ehemalige Mannschaft von "Pardon" hatte nach heftigem Streit mit der Verlegerei ein eigenes Satire-Magazin auf Kurs gebracht. Auf besonderen Wunsch: hier ein Video mit der Nummer und danach noch anderen Dingen, die nicht so lustig sind, aber am Ende kommt Michael Jackson und sieht mal wieder sehr ufohaft aus.

MUPPETS - "SING" WITH VARIOUS CELEBRITIES From Muppet Wikia: "Sing" was written for the first season of Sesame Street. It has been sung countless times on the show, with many different singers. Some versions have included the lyrics in both English and Spanish (the latter written by Emilio Delgado). Like "Bein' Green," it too has become an American standard. The song as covered by The Carpenters reached number 3 on the Billboard pop charts in 1973. (...) A celebrity montage has been seen on Sesame Street (EKA: Episode 3952) featuring Vanessa Williams, Nathan Lane, Conan O'Brien, Denyce Graves, Natalie Merchant, Patti LaBelle, Gloria Estefan, Katie Couric, Ben Stiller, Maya Angelou, R.E.M., Doug E. Doug, Ossie Davis, Garth Brooks, Fran Drescher, Noah Wyle, Terrell Davis, Ruby Dee, Rosemary Clooney, Bela Fleck and Mr. Noodle. HERE IS THE VIDEO: Sesame Street: Celebrities Sing An alternate version appearing on the What's the Name of That Song? home video release omits several individuals, but also includes The Dixie Chicks, Peter Jennings and Liam Neeson."
